Southgate? Allegri? If that is the shortlist we in for a world of hurt. Great that Iraola is on there but it's for me to see us getting him- especially if he gets CL with them.Yep this is what I was told we have contacted:two coaches already, one out of work one in work. So it's one of :Terzic, Southgate, Allegri and it's obviously Iraola. The good news is I was told all of the parties approached were interested and none turned it down out right.
Subsequently I was told Alonso has also sounded US out about him potentially wanting to be considered. It's funny the people thinking we couldn't get a coach of quality are way off. Also the word is that a fair few think Levy HAS backed the coach reasonably and money was badly spent.
Clarification the stuff in Italics came from a bloke I met who is connected to senior board members the second was just told to me by a football writer for a decent print/ media site.
the football makes me miserable and i blame the coach. the coach is a fat miserable cunt and that's why i call him that.So let me get this straight...
Any kind of occasional "Give him to the end of the season" or "I don't think now is the best time to sack him" comment makes that person part of an imagined "Ange in" cult.
However, endlessly posting about him being a fat Aussie cunt who's way out of his depth, the worst Tottenham manager of all time, the fucking cunt, oh did I forget to mention how the cunt was fat, clueless and Australian, isn't in itself kind of cultish?
I mean day in, day out. As I’ve said before, taking zero joy from the admittedly brief pleasurable moments. Everything about Spurs is complete shit and most of it is down to a fat Australian fraud, the cunt.
But no, dedicating yourself to permanent hate-posting like that is nothing whatsoever like cultish behaviour. You're just "telling it like it is".
Right-oh.
Wish he did fail in getting Tel over the line as it looks like levy and Ange fucked up getting it over the line especially for the money that’s been paid.Did say in article that club werent happy he failed to get Tel deal over line so Levy and Ange stepped in. Just an article about club insider John Wenham. Let's see how it pans out end of season.
What’s even worse is he doesn’t even acknowledge it the actual stats in games or results and performances. He just says not good enough or not of the standard we are capable of. Well that standard is hardly ever seen so it’s not the standard. Never says our home form is terrible and that for a big club that should not be the case.Oh there’s no question that the mask has fallen. He’s deluded. He genuinely can’t work out why the game plan that beats Hamilton Academical isn’t working here.
I said elsewhere the haphazard, swashbuckling nature of those first 10 games is gone now too. We are defensively and offensively shit.
Like even yesterday, it took a worldie fluke and a penalty to salvage a draw in a game that we should have been 4 or 5 down in. That’s the story of the season too, with better finishing we’d have been absolutely molested in most games we played.
He’s so far out of his depth it’s only his blubber keeping him afloat.

I think he still genuinely believes the players are failing to execute his game plan. It seemed he might have been reflecting on potentially changing things with that weird three at the back formation he tried against Brentford (?) was it? But I guess then seeing how that didn't work went right back to his old tried and true method. Very bizarre and seemingly blinkered view overall.
Yeah, not hard to look like a good manager when you manage Celtic and play poor Scottish sides.No doubt. TBF, the football bears no resemblance to the football played by his previous teams.
Whatever the reason, its not working, and no way does he get next season.
Over load should be in wide areas not in the middle of the park. V low blocks why add more congestion you need to stretch teams.its very telling everything looks so disjointed now. There is no fluidity, the players can barely pass to each other. It is a big sign the players have lost faith in the manager and its the end of his tenure. He simply has to go.
The system just fully leaves the players hung out to dry. The Constant bombing forward of all Cms, no one covering for each other, the amount of times the Cms are pressing opposition fullbacks with no one covering the centre, the fullbacks both just so high every bloody time.
There is a reason you don't want both your fullbacks as attacking 8s in situations, they are Cms for a reason, they arent 10s for a reason, I get having one inverted fullback to create overloads in the middle of the park, but both inverted is just so dumb.
