My dad died in 2019 and I'm still not sure I'm over it

I imagine spurs is the last thing he cares about right now

But - I don't know the club will recognise that, do whats in their best interests, and ultimately what's in Tudors

So, who knows?

Same.

My mum died in August 2019.

Grief comes in waves, there's no way to know what someone goes through.

I was actually looking for a notepad the other day to rewrite some work out plans for the gym, and I found one eventually....

Then saw my mums hand writing everywhere in it 😓

On a serious note. If we do get relegated, after we get turned down by several managers, it'll end up being this fella:

You never get over the death of anyone close to you, that's part of life and you just have no choice but to carry on and deal with it.

My old man died in 1985, a month before my 10th birthday and I still struggle with that to this day but then, I also struggle with the suicide of a friend 15 years ago and my cousin just over a year ago.
No death is easy to cope with and even more so when it's sudden and unexpected.

But the only certainty in life is that people you love will die and although it sounds cold, life goes on around you and without you.
We all cope with it differently but we have no choice but to cope.

Shit, I once worked with a bloke who took a week off work because his fucking cat died!

I don’t want a club man remembered for taking us down. And not sure the players need anything more right now than a charismatic leader to believe in.

Forest was a huge game. Going to be really hard for any manager and come in and pick these players up after that.

3 away games out of the next 4. We really need to find some of that away form we started the season with.
Amazingly we are still Top 10 for away form.

Don't think this would be the case. As Ionman34 Ionman34 pointed out to me on another thread Burkinshaw technically "took us down" in 77 but was never really held responsible for that shit show.

The case against Hughton is the same one that holds for Redknapp or Sherwood - none of the players would know or care about who they are. So what possible impact could they have? It's a relevance issue.

Ultimately, yes, but in the immediate moment it's just devastation - I doubt Tudor is in any state to even think about work

I was genuinely devastated when my cat died. She was the sweetest natured animal ever. Sat with us at the table for dinner, slept on my hip, curled up by my feet while I worked.

Shit, now I'm feeling soft. Need to go and slather myself in Brut, watch some UFC and roar into a mirror.

Who the fuck is Adolf Hutter?!?!

Yeah man, he needs time to to accept it and come to terms with it and let's face it, he could probably do without the added pressure of this shit club right now.

No shade on him because he was on a hiding to nothing from the start, so I wish him nothing but the best and hold no ill feelings towards the man at all.
In fact, credit to the bloke for even trying to save us from ourselves and our useless hierarchy.

I feel you man.
I'm not a cat person but the dog I got as a 15th birthday present died in my arms a good few years later and that was tough to deal with, I literally felt her heart stop and was there with her for her last breath.

But there's nothing soft about feelings, it takes a strong person to admit and recognise them.
The strongest people I've ever known are some of the most sensitive.

And you know what?
Even your username kicks me in the balls because that was our nickname for our mate who took his own life, one of the triggers that spiraled me into a deep and dark depression.
His surname was Nutland and he was a bit mad but in a lovely way, so we called him "Nuts".

He was born in 1970. Why would any Austrian name their kid Adolf, and especially when your last name is Hütter? I don't care if he's a well respected coach, If Spurs hire him after everything that's happened this season and when we are in the middle of a relegation battle I will 100% believe the people running this club are actively trying to sabotage this team. Just imagine the memes...

Apparently the grandma persuaded them to name him Adolf after his uncle who died in an avalanche?

Not sure why she wanted his sister to be called Himmler, though.
