unfortunetly we will always get dug out in the press and media about trophies because of our position. The likes of newcastle, everton or Villa (big clubs especially the last 2) who havent won anything since the days of Socrates and Plato wont get it because they dont finish anywhere close to were we have the last decade so nothing is expected of them.
since 2009: 4th,5th,4th,5th, 6th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ,6th, 7th, 4th
then add being the 9th most valuable football club in the world,
The 2nd largest, and newest club stadium in the league
but not won a trophy for 15 years, I wonder if any clubs in the other top european leagues have a similar ailment to us. constant high league finishes, lots of money but never winning a trophy.
I suspect we're unfortunately unique in this
Why is it different? You're telling me the likes of Atletico and Lille had it easy to win titles? Alteti had to deal with 2 juggernauts of Spanish football, and won 2 titles, one of which was against probably the best Barcelona and Real Madrid sides in history (2014). Lille had a clear vision, Campos and Galtier got what they needed according to their budget, and beat the most expensive side in the world in the process. It can be done, the cunts down the road are proving it, and we've been in a much better position than them for the past 6 years.
Haha. Why even bother post this? We all know you feel, adds nothing to the general discussion. You might as well have 3 auto posts and just release them randomly.
Imagine having Drone Thomas's putrid twitter feed. :contefacepalm:
Don't you think that 2 months worth of actually working with the new man could sway that decision?
I'm just arguing that, in my opinion, there is no good reason why we would be left waiting until the summer to employ a manager that is available now.
If it's JN then we are either waiting because he's not that up for it, bad, or because there would be a fee involved, bad.
If it's someone that we're not going for now because we think we could maybe do better, bad.
Hell, I'm not even sure why we're so set that we can't take a manager from another club now, did Chelsea fuck about in getting Potter? We took Ramos from Sevilla mid-season, Hoddle from Southampton, Redknapp from Portsmouth.
Is there another top level club in the world that loves an interim as much as we do? I get that there's an argument that it gives you time to come to the perfect solution, but when the last stint ended up with us digging around the bargain bin and coming up with Nuno it strongly suggests that this isn't the case with us.
I’m not sure if Porro and Udogie in a back 4 will work. Maybe if one of Bissouma or Bentancur drop into a back 3 out of possession it could work. But then you might risk being short in midfield.
Well yes; which is why I responded how I originally did.
There ARE possible reasons; that shouldn't be a stretch to one's imagination.
......Or his head is spinning after being dicked by BM and wants to get his head together before committing his future.
....Or that we're not the only club that has approached him already and he has options to consider.
Well it's not written in stone that we can't (as your post depicts), but equally if we're gonna have to spend 20m to buy out a manager then you'd hope he was at least someone near the very top of our list.
Christ not "only Spurs"-isms again...... :sigh:
There's been all sorts of caretaker shit going on in the EPL this season alone... Let alone other clubs in other leagues in other seasons.
The Chavs has Huddink x 2, Grant, Di Mateo, Rafa in quick succession.
So you did end up playing the ill-fitting Nuno card all along (as also pre-empted in my OG post).

Yes lets get Poch back when the same players are still here who got him sacked in the first place!
If Nagelsmann is gonna be in the lead can we at least spell his name right in the poll? FFS.
Liverpool seemed to get about 190 points in 2 seasons with exactly that set up. And won a league and CL doing it.
Attacking full backs in a back 4 are not an issue if you have competent centre-backs and midfielders.
I think its only right as well if we refer to him as Nagelsperson !
Nagga nagga na gonna work be here for long anyways.
I'd need someone to explain what A) has that B( hasn't:
A) Henderson / Fabhino / Wijnaldum.
B) Biss / Skipp / Bentancur
Nothing.
But Liverpool had a better CB pairing and more importantly, an aggressively pressing front 3 that allowed everyone to play higher up the pitch. That helps to mask the defensive deficiencies of Trent.
