Asked Chat GPT to write Ryan Mason's intro speech. Pretty good stuff. I especially like how it completely ignored Conte's tenure

"Good afternoon, everyone. I am incredibly honored and excited to be standing here today as the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur. This is a club that means so much to me, and I have many great memories of my time here as a player.

Firstly, I would like to thank the chairman, the board, and everyone involved in the decision-making process for giving me this opportunity. It's a huge responsibility, but one that I am fully committed to and ready for.

I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff, who have laid a foundation for success at this club. It's now up to me and my team to build on that and take this club forward.

As a young manager, I know I have a lot to learn, but I have been fortunate to work with some fantastic coaches and players throughout my career, and I believe I have the skills and knowledge to help this team achieve its goals.

I want to play a positive, attacking style of football that excites the fans and creates chances. I know what this club means to the supporters, and I will do everything in my power to make them proud.

I am looking forward to working with the players and staff to create a strong team spirit and a winning mentality. Together, we can achieve great things and bring success to this club.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the challenges ahead."

No; He wasn't.

Didn't I debunk this with you a day or two ago by showing you the appearance stats?

He was an ever present until he got ill/injured during 18/19..... Even then he's still appeared 28 times that season.

Up until West Ham which was the first game Jose managed, he played 3 games out of 10 for Poch in that season, one of which was a 12 minute sub appearance.

Certainly, here's a possible new manager intro speech for Sol Campbell at Spurs:

Ladies and gentlemen, players, and staff of Tottenham Hotspur,

I am honored and excited to stand before you today as the new manager of this great football club. It is a privilege to return to the place where my professional career began, and to lead a team that holds a special place in my heart.

I know that I have big shoes to fill and that expectations are high, but I am ready for this challenge. I believe in the potential of this team, and I know that we can achieve great things together if we work hard and stay focused.

My vision for Tottenham is simple: to create a winning culture that is built on hard work, discipline, and a commitment to excellence. I want to see us play attractive, attacking football that excites the fans and makes our opponents fear us.

But above all, I want us to be a team that never gives up, that fights until the final whistle, and that never loses sight of our goals. I know that we will face many challenges along the way, but I am confident that we have the talent and the spirit to overcome them.

To the players, I say this: I believe in you, and I know that you have the potential to be great. I will work tirelessly to help you develop your skills, to motivate you to give your best every day, and to create an environment where you can thrive.

To the fans, I say this: I know how much this club means to you, and I promise to do everything in my power to bring you success and to make you proud of your team. I ask for your patience and your support as we begin this journey together.

Finally, to the staff, I say this: I am grateful for your hard work and dedication, and I look forward to working with you to achieve our common goals. Let us be a united team, with a shared vision and a common purpose.

Thank you for this opportunity, and let's make this a season to remember. Come on you Spurs!

Here's the article. Sounds like the Paratici uncertainty is the main stumbling block.

Daniel Levy has difficult questions to answer over the running and direction of Tottenham Hotspur as he attempts to identify a long-term successor to Antonio Conte.

Tottenham are expected to agree to Conte's departure this week as Levy weighs up his short-term and long-term options, following the Italian’s criticism of the club’s squad.

Conte flew to Italy on Monday and was not expected to be at Tottenham’s training ground on Tuesday with just a handful of players who are not on international duty scheduled to report for rehabilitation and recovery sessions.

Ryan Mason could be put in charge until the end of the season if Conte departs during the international break, while more long-term options include Luis Enrique, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino, who are all out of work, together with Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Oliver Glasner, Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi and Brentford’s Thomas Frank.

But Levy is understood to be aware he does not face a straightforward task in replacing Conte with a top manager, with the 53-year-old laying bare the problems that he believes exist within the club and the squad.

It is understood that a number of Tottenham’s potential candidates to replace Conte share similar concerns to those he raised so publicly after the 3-3 draw with Southampton in which Spurs squandered a 3-1 lead.

There is a feeling from outside the club that Conte over-achieved in his first season at Spurs by clinching Champions League qualification and that this campaign is more reflective of the level of the squad and the ambition of the club.

Managers are also said to have reservations over the running of the football operations at Tottenham, particularly given the doubts over the future of managing director of football Fabio Paratici.

Paratici has been far less visible since being hit with a ban in Italy as part of an investigation into alleged malpractice at Juventus and has mainly watched matches from the directors’ box, rather than from behind the dug-out.

The uncertainty surrounding Paratici could be further complicated by an Italian court case that is scheduled for next Monday, March 27.

Paratici was handed a 30-month ban from Italian football as part of the sanctions imposed on his ex-club Juventus by the Italian Football Federation, which could still be applied across the globe.

On March 27, a preliminary hearing of a criminal investigation into the capital gains and salary manoeuvres of Juventus and individuals who worked at the club, in which Paratici has been named among the defendants, will take place to decide whether or not a trial should go ahead.

Questions have already been asked over whether or not Paratici himself will still be at Tottenham next season.

Gonna be over soon!

Tottenham are in talks over a compensation deal with Conte, who is out of contract this summer, and for six members of his coaching staff. The 53-year-old returned to Italy yesterday to be with his family after he spoke to members of the Tottenham board to try to clarify the comments he made during a furious rant after the 3-3 draw away to Southampton on Saturday, in which he branded the players “selfish” and attacked the culture at the club.
 
Patrick Viera is available :lucasl:
but that would mean we'd have to rule "Woy" hodgsen out of contention damn it!!!!!!!!!!! :contefacepalm:

there really are alot of talented managers out there but we will not bring in the right one

Yeh.... Just checked... It was you...... Sigh.

He wasn't "frozen out" FFS; he was slowly recovering from surgery he'd had during the latter part of that summer..... You clearly don't remember his first appearances that season? He was massively overweight cos he'd been out for so long and seemingly struggling to get back to his leaner self.

Dier was an ever-present (when fit) under Poch:

14/15 - 36 apps
15/16 - 51 apps
16/17 - 48 apps
17/18 - 47 apps
18/19 - 28 apps(*) / 22 missing via illness & injury and had surgery that summer.

(*and that's despite us shifting back to a back 4 from after the previous season!)


Being "frozen out" is a bit more of a terminal situation than merely missing a bunch of games through injury/fitness/injury.
