Who the fuck is Charrington? I’m seeing his name a lot in the last few weeks after never seeing it before and why is the noise that he’s calling shots over Levy?

We had someone on this forum who worked with Lewis companies not the football say he is brought in when he wants to change everything as it’s not working and he is the Lewis man and works on his behalf. Comment below although not sure how this guy is.

12 at a stretch, if you include interim Tim.

Liverpool have had 7 in that same time frame (Houllier, Benitez, Hodgson, Dalglish, Rodgers, Klopp, Slot).

I'd wonder why Liverpool are the comparator - except to obviously cherry pick for impact. (e.g. Villa have had 14 in that time. 10 since 2010)
 
If this Charington dude is coming in to possibly replace Levy. Appointed by Tavistock (biggest owner of Enic). I'm sure there's something more, my guess is that the club is finally being sold.

A few suggestions of significant investment at the least, hence the major reshuffle. And why Ange was kept on when he arguably should have gone at the turn of the year.

An Open Letter to the Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club

Daniel,

In Bilbao, something changed. For the first time in over 40 years, Spurs fans tasted European glory again. It wasn’t just about the trophy—it was about hope, pride, identity. It was about daring, and finally doing.

Ange Postecoglou gave us that.
And you took it away.

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t just any manager. Ange made us believe again. He understood us. He understood this club. He understood that football—real football—is about moments that live forever. Trophies aren’t just silver—they’re stories, memories, legacies. Big Ange delivered on what he promised, and what you have failed to deliver for over two decades: glory.

He dared. He delivered.

And you sacked him.

You responded with a press release that will go down as one of the most tone-deaf, hollow pieces of spin in the club’s history.

You wrote: “This ranks as one of the Club’s greatest moments… but we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.”
No. This is what football is. Emotion. Glory. Memories. It’s not spreadsheets and “points from the last 66 games.” Nobody sings about balance sheets in the stands.

You talk about “commitment and contribution.” But where was yours when you sacked Mourinho a week before a final, just to avoid paying a bonus? Where was it when you binned Poch after taking us to a Champions League final? Where was it when you refused to ride out a tough patch with a manager who delivered something none of his predecessors could—silverware?

You say this wasn’t a decision taken lightly. But your track record says otherwise. You say it wasn’t the easy option—but it’s the same one you always choose: fire, reset, repeat. You keep choosing control over courage, commerce over club.

And now? You’ve sacked the man who finally made “To Dare Is To Do” mean something again.

What message does this send? To future managers? To the players? To us?

The fans are not blind, Daniel. We see the pattern. We see the short-termism, the PR spin, the complete disregard for what truly matters to the people who fill the stands, buy the shirts, and care. You’ve made us a laughing stock—again. Spursy, they say. And you’ve done nothing to change that perception. If anything, you’ve made it worse.

The club is fractured. The players are stunned. The fanbase is reeling. But worst of all—once again—we're back to square one, because you couldn’t stand not being the smartest man in the room.

Enough.

You are no longer fit to lead this football club. Not because of one decision—but because of every decision. This was the last straw for many of us. Ange got it. You never have. And until that changes, this spiral continues.

We are the ones who carry this club through the decades. Through fog and mud and broken promises. Through the exits of Poch, of Harry, of countless others who gave their soul while you chased commercial margins. This isn’t a bump in the road. This is the rot at the core.

You have failed to understand that success isn’t finishing 8th with a healthy P&L. It’s nights like Bilbao. It’s giving us back our pride.

The game is about glory. And under your leadership, that spirit is dying.

Very well written. But it’s melodramatic nonsense. The players are not stunned. The fan base is not reeling. Nobody gives a shit we just want to move on with a new manager because that’s the right thing to do.
The rest is just emotional release which is about making the individual concerned feel better.

You could include Graham, Pleat, Mason and the guy to be announced.
But that's pedantic.

Regardless, you agree the owners are the problem?

Pleat. (Between Hoddle and Santini)
Sherwood
Mason
Stellini

Theres your 15
 

Gold has very much been up Postecoglous fundament since day 1. Truly has given new meaning to down under.

In regards to the players, the vast majority will crack on. One or two will try and use it as an excuse to go and i think we can hazard a guess who. We heard all this same stuff when Poch was sacked by Chelsea last summer outrage, rebellion, transfer requests incoming and nothing.

Why would we include Graham - he is over the 24 year period (Hoddle was announced March 2001, and Graham was sugar's crooked appointment). Pleat and Mason were never appointed manager any more than Hughton, Allen, Stellini etc.


Considering we've made constant and regular improvements over the vast majority of appointments, it is a symptom of ambitious ownership - not a 'problem'.

You think we should be ran like Mike Ashley would, and give some dullard an 8-year contract? Is that 'good ownership' or any sign of 'ambition'? No, it's the bloody opposite.
