What’s the story behind that gif? Cyanide or vodka?
So we're going to try again for Rodgers but that doesnt fit in to being appointed before the end of the season. I have a really bad feeling who its going to be. Roberto sodding Martinez.
Not only would I be tempted to take a Spurs sabbatical, I'd give Kane my blessing to fuck off somewhere better.
Based on tonight's game we may have a chance at landing Zidane.

Amid all the noise and speculation, Tottenham Hotspur are patiently working through the process of recruiting a head coach for next season, and they intend to take their time until they find the right candidate. No-one has been offered the job, and no-one has turned it down. Fans are understandably keen to know who the new manager will be, but they will have to wait a little while longer. An appointment is not expected until after Spurs’ last game of the season, away to Leicester City on 23 May. Tottenham are in no rush.
Contrary to fears they will be restricted to picking from those managers currently out of contract and therefore not requiring a hefty compensation fee, Spurs would be in a position to recruit a manager from another club, should he be the right candidate. The fact that Jose Mourinho has been appointed as the next manager of Roma this week will also reduce how much money Spurs have to pay their former manager.
When Tottenham replaced Pochettino with Mourinho, they effectively replaced a coach with a manager. Mourinho’s focus was always on results, on devising a plan to overcome each individual opponent. But that approach fell apart in the second half of this season, alienating players and fans alike.
This is why Spurs want to go back to something more like the Pochettino era, where individual players get the specific coaching to improve their game again. There is a feeling that there is still plenty of untapped potential in this squad. And with Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon expected to return to Tottenham from their respective loan spells next season, there will be even more talent for the next head coach to work with.
Which the concept of changing manager every few years?Levy is the one who needs to get to grips with it, but he won’t .
No point. He and Levy clearly disagreed on strategy.Get the fans back on side bring our Poch back!!
(We can dream)!!
This was easily my biggest concern with sacking Mourinho. He seemingly had finally sussed out these 2 are 2nd or 3rd choice backups, not important squad members.I'd have to laugh if we go through all this, then first game of the season he plays Winks and Sissoko in midfield.
were fucking doomed aren't weSteve Hitchen will play a pivotal part in Tottenham Hotspur’s recruitment of a new head coach, according to the Daily Mail.
Such is the influence that Hitchen carries at Tottenham, it is said that it will be the 44-year-old’s recommendations that will grace the table of chairman Daniel Levy for consideration to replace Jose Mourinho.

Ugh. Why. If Levy's making terrible decisions it's really because Hitchens has told him to.Steve Hitchen will play a pivotal part in Tottenham Hotspur’s recruitment of a new head coach, according to the Daily Mail.
Hitchen was promoted to the role of Technical Performance Director last September with his remit covering the responsibility of scouting, performance and recruitment analysis and youth recruitment together.
The report claims that Hitchen has identified Brighton boss Graham Potter as one of the names on the North London outfit’s shortlist.
Such is the influence that Hitchen carries at Tottenham, it is said that it will be the 44-year-old’s recommendations that will grace the table of chairman Daniel Levy for consideration to replace Jose Mourinho.
Hitchen is said to have earmarked Potter as a candidate given the fact that he wants the club to recruit a strategic coach, with Levy requiring persuasion that a younger, forward-thinking coach is what he needs in his next head coach.
Brighton are currently fourteenth in the Premier League table, having won just one of their last five top flight fixtures.

Or Levy doesn't listen to Hitchen and has made his position pointless.Ugh. Why. If Levy's making terrible decisions it's really because Hitchens has told him to.
Skrinar wouldn't be suited to this league. He got ragdolled by Kyle Lafferty, I'd hate to see what a quarter decent striker would do to him.
