Why are you here?
They move too quickly, you'd never hit one
I'm joking before you all melt down
I wasn’t banned and now crawling back with my tail between my legs saying “sorry, sir. I won’t do it again I promise. Please let me post on the forum again”.
I just wondered what would motivate you so much to come back after being unceremoniously kicked off?
Have to agree - nothing you see on social media from news outlets is reliable - positive or negative.
Uh none of that happened, I had a sin bin, it ended, I posted. I didn't promise anything or apologise to anyone.
If you think you and the others in here are going to escape being held accountable for this season, you're wrong. Whether it is me, doom, john or whoever else doing it, you will be.
Expecting some sort of earth shattering revelation from a player being interviewed club-friendly journalist is like expecting Milesy to suddently turn into Jeremy Paxman in his next postmatch interview with Ange.
That said, I'd subscribe to SpursPlay if they did employ Paxman to interview our managers. I'd pay all the money.
Sin Bin involved being told you were unable to post?
So kinda was a ban wasn’t it really?
So you came back to hold me (and some others?) accountable for us having a bad season?
That’s your motivation to come sniveling back?
If so, really I think you might be barking up the wrong tree here but if it makes like more manageable for you, I can take responsibility for it all right now….
LOL
Exactly -
People need to wake up - football news - both positive and negative is all the same - there is nothing else other than desperation to get click and shares for ad money. That's it. If you think only one side of the information you are getting is 'the truth' and the other side you are getting is 'not the truth' then you have one eye shut.
This stuff is basic journalism of the modern era - print things that trigger people - get clicks + shares = make money.
Once I layers start grumbling about the “training” it’s usually not long.

Big 6?
We named a 23 man senior squad for this season.
With 4 GKs!! And when we got through our first 2 choice GKs we decided we needed to sign a 5th goalkeeper. As the other two are a bit crap.
You could not make this shit up.
Big6??? Insulting putting us in with Man City and their squad.
Registered 19 senior outfield players. Which included Max Robson. Whoever he is?? And Sergio reguillon as nobody else wanted him!!
It’s like the club expect no injuries at all!!
We really don’t behave like a Big 6 club right now.
Are managers really on a hiding to nothing here, especially in a way that they aren't in other clubs? Because the way I see it, with few exceptions such as Guardiola and Simeone, any manager is a poor run of form -around 10-12 matches- away from getting the boot. That's why any manager who feels he has the leverage insists on hefty termination clauses during contract negotiations. It's a preparation for an almost inevitable exit in the not-too-distant future. To give two recent and familiar examples, Dyche and Nuno took their respective clubs to unprecedented heights, yet got the sack regardless.
In particular, if Levy has such a notorious reputation in the eyes of many managers like some people claim, then this job should be closer to a free hit than it is to being on a hiding to nothing. Walk in to the job, earn your hefty wages during your tenure, perform to the best of your abilities, get the sack, pocket your payoff, walk away without suffering any reputational repercussions. And, on the slim chance that you obtain great success, enjoy being hailed as this guy who achieved the unachievable . Sounds like a dream to me.
I can see the objection that what I described above is too cost-benefit oriented, and that especially young and upcoming managers would be more idealistic in their thinking. I don't agree though. It's a job after all, you don't pass up this kind of an opportunity unless you have really good reasons to do so.
And by reasons I don't mean staying in clubs that spend nothing compared to us, let their best players go every summer, are run by people who cut corners as much as Levy does etc.

Let’s back the guy who never managed in a half decent league 
I could manage Celtic to the title. But tbh I’m very good playing football manager. Maybe I could make rangers close to Celtic

Our squad really doesn't have much less depth than Woolwich. Obviously you can't compare us to City.
We have a more than strong enough squad for being 15th to be an embarrassing level of performance from the manager, go have a look at the players fielded by some teams above us. The Everton team that were 3-0 up in a half against us (managed by david fuckin' moyes) had some absolutely abysmal footballers in it.
Almost impossible to be worse. Really!! We may be 15th in the table, but in the FORM TABLE we are almost rock bottom
We are 19th equal (NINETEENTH) in the form table.
Equal with Saints, who but for a last ditch off the line save at Forest would've got a point and be ahead of us.
Ahead of ONLY LEICESTER. Oooh: look who we're playing on Sunday?
What's the accumulator doing for that one? Vardy to score? He must be looking at our defence and thinking I'm gonna fill my boots against those guys!! If EFC get 3, I could too!!
but asking the players if they love him is stupid as its clearly obvious that they do! just go and check the fan video from after the everton game, kulu and madders clearly love this bloke and dont want him to leave.
