God we went from Conte to this bloke in...five days?
Well done Levy.
All I ask is that you buy me a pack of smokes before you fuck me next time.

wanting to keep Dier, Winks, Sissoko etc.
Most fans want to get rid of the deadwood but there will always be apologists wanting to keep a tight grip on them at all costs hoping they will finally turn out good. In fact I know a short little bald fellow that shares many of the same opinions as our good buddy Arc.

Quite the opposite - you claimed they won’t be sold so we can only do with free transfers. As I said - only on your FM saveLOL

I don't count Ali as part of the dead wood. He was injured quite a while and also went off form, Jose did play him quite a bit to begin with ''I want to see the real Dele Ali'' instead he played GLC as an AMF who had a poor record of assists and goals. It was Jose being stubborn.
Winks should probably be playing in the league below where he'd most likely be a good player, Dier and Toby are too slow, we'll get demolished playing attacking football with those two, and Sissoko was once not a bad player but he needs to move downwards now.
No coach in their right mind can play full on attack with our CBs. we;ll be too easily picked off on counter attacks at PL level because our present CBs are too slow.
If we stick with them, Winks and Sissoko, and try and play full on attack, we're fucked.
If we stick with Winks and Sissoko we will be screwed irrespective of style, they are just not good enough
Knowing us and Levy he probably should be but won't be until late April.
Agreed but they can hide a bit if we 'park the bus' it's when we come out and play they get exposed, so we could go from just no good enough to being demolished on a regular basis.
I'm all for playing attacking football, but you need midfielders that play well (not stuttering attacks) and defenders who can get back in position quickly.
I'm just saying imo Winks Sissoko Dier and Toby will be exposed, if not for lack of skill then for lack of pace. I think attacking football suits our LB & RB players, and to a good degree our whole team, except those four.
Still maintain this is a storm that'll blow over.
But if it WAS to happen, I think Levy would have actually managed to appoint someone I'm less interested in that either Potter or Parker.
And ffs fans, if it happens and we start the season with him and all the dead wood, PLEASE can we have a full on fucking revolt. Not a bit of "we want our tottenham back" but a mass fucking protest before during and after the game.

That is not what I said.
Not sure what a FM save is but in the real world Patatici’s speciality was bringing in older guys on free transfers. You can ignore it all you want but it doesn’t change the truth.
I think FM = Football Manager (game).
Im not arguing about whether they should and outside of Alli I agree with what you are saying about the players.
I am just saying I am not sure they will be sold. Poch wanted to sell guys- nothing. Jose wanted to sell guys- nothing. Maybe Paratici wants to sell guys and it will be different but that certainly wasn’t something he was at good when he was at Juve.
When you say storm that will blow over do you mean you don’t think we will hire Fonseca?
Yes it is - 100%
Yes. No more reason to think this one is any more done as Conte was

Fonseca was linked a number of weeks ago, before Paratici, so Levy and Hitchen must have had talks with Fonseca and has been a name on the list for a good while. Levy will never give 100% control to anyone, if he had a problem with this choice there is no way Fonseca would be hired.
I would suggest you read it again.
There are a few more reasons actually.
Credible people are saying it is 99% done, they didn’t say the same thing with Conte.
There were reasons for Conte to back out. He had all the leverage. There is zero reason for Fonseca to drop out. This is by far the best job he will ever get again. He needs this, Conte didn’t.
No reason for him to turn it down of course.
But many many reasons for Spurs to thank him for his time and move on to the next one.
If it does happen though it will be right up there with not only our worst decision but one of the worst in the PL era. He'll be sacked by December or we'll go down.
And I'm at the stage with ENIC now where going down would be a relief as it might actually make them think about selling up and fucking off forever.
