Sherwood was signed as a manager on an 18 month contract. Had he delivered top 4, there is not a hope in hell he would have been sacked. His record wasn't bad in spite of his idiocy.
Applying your "we don't know what is said/done behind closed doors so shut the fuck up" to Harry? Do you have evidence that he made approaches to the FA about the England job after his trial? Had he got us into CL, he wouldn't have been sacked either. Ramos? He delivered our only trophy under ENIC, had his forward line disposed of on the last day of the window & was given SHIT as a replacement. Santini was given no time at all, Jol was "too difficult to work with" etc. it must always be the managers fault mate. Our rapid turnover of managers proves that. But who employs the managers? As for shutting the fuck up & enjoying the football, I will, just to please you- once the football is enjoyable & the club delivers what the fans have been led to believe was on the horizon. Oh, I chose Tottenham long before ENIC did.
I don't care what anyone else does, I'm just offering a suggestion. Why concern yourself with the background shit at the club, what positivity can it bring? If you just enjoy watching our team play and not be fucking negative about shit we have no control over, you'll find life to be that little bit more enjoyable.
Even at the end there you had to add in a bit of negativity. Its just a fucking game at the end of the day. Its life and death for 90 minutes but thats it. Stand in a stadium and enjoy the good times.
They done that little "protest" covering all the empty seats with bin bags, to protest against the prices that were keeping people away (i.e. not selling out every game by a long shot).
They should have been protesting against God's decision to allow them to exist, the miserable, polluted cunts.
It`s much more than a game mate. Otherwise we wouldnt be spending our Friday nights posting on this messageboard.
I got pissed after work and peaked too early whats your excuse?
The "background shit" is intriguing. It is almost as important to many fans as what happens on the pitch because it tells us about the direction our club is heading & whether the board share the same lofty/deluded ambitions as the fans.
"the Background shit " is more important than anything else.

Didn't Santini walk out on us?
But they do sell out every game. They have the cash. Why would they care if 10k ST holders, who've already paid up, elect not to show up?
Is it, really. £53m is the equivalent to a decent player and a few years of his wages. In football terms £53m isn't that much.
You sign a midfielder for, say £25m and then have to have a minimum starting contract of 3 years paying £100,000 a week, that's £40m - the real cost of transfer is way more than it looks like on the surface.
That said...
Sandro went to QPR with a 3 year deal, I reckon at about £60k per week with £6m + extras, their minimum commitment looks like £15m rising to £19m if they achieve the move works out.
So perhaps it's fairer to say a decent prem midfielder would cost you around £16-17m. A striker could be far greater numbers though.

Not to get into an argument, but he admits it in his book. He was already tapping up Rodgers to be his assistant.
He done a great job at Spurs, no denying that.
But the bloke is a cunt. That is not debatable.
Hmmm. He also says (about the England job) that he was incessantly asked by the media & said he was happy at spurs but it would be difficult to turn down the England job as an Englishman. He royally fucked up with that comment given that he had been well backed by the club through his trial, & I agree it made him look a proper cunt. He should have kept his thoughts to himself & not been drawn into making a comment. But I don't think he was tapping the FA up privately & there was nothing cloak & dagger in it. Any other year we would have got into the CL but for that abomination of a result in the CL final & I doubt that he would have been sacked if we had because everyone would have forgiven the comment about the England job & there would have been absolute bemusement had he been given the boot. But yes, he is a cunt & his book fuels that notion.Not to get into an argument, but he admits it in his book. He was already tapping up Rodgers to be his assistant.

Yeah but thats ignoring the fact we should have had third place wrapped up by April. And no ones saying Harry tapped up the FA, but you can't deny he put himself in the window more than an amsterdam whore.
and I suppose the players had nothing to do with it ?
My point is that every radio station, and every paper had Arry as the next England manager, regardless of what he may or may not have said. Without doubt this must have had an effect on the players psyche
This was, iirc, also the season where we signed Saha & Ryan Nelsen in the January window whilst we were right in the mix. They were both past it & not useful additions to a club challenging for the title-as we were at that stage. Throw in a couple of injuries & that could be as much of a reason why we didn't get 3rd spot or better as anything 'Arry did.
