Proper strange one you are.I’d rather get Benitez in relation to Rodgers. That’s how much I don’t like the guy
Nah mate. I just detest Brendan
He told me he thinks highly of you, and you make a killer omelette.
But we just had a manager that never fails and he failed with us. I think the fact that Leicester have been in the top 4 towards the end of the last two seasons is a big achievement. Through good recruitment by the club and his coaching he has established them amongst the top 5 or 6 in the leagueI like Rodgers, but if he fails to get Leicester in the CL again, then he’s a bottler in my option and that’s the last thing we need at this club. We are trying desperately to rid of this bottler tag that has plagued the club for the best part of 25 years and we then want to hire a manager that would of failed to get Leicester in the CL 2 seasons running after leading it comfortably? Not for me. If Rodgers gets them in the CL, then he deserves plaudits and should be taken seriously. We shouldn’t be going for guys that fail, just so it’s easier to get them.
We already have the English zidane at the wheel and another in the squad mateWhat if Zidane decides to quit Real again. Should we go for him if he was prepared for a new experience?
And didn't need any new signings just a couple of years ago.Quite a change from claiming this squad is good enough for Top 4 / PL title
No. I wouldn't go near Zidane. It'd be Mourinho all over again.What if Zidane decides to quit Real again. Should we go for him if he was prepared for a new experience?
What?And didn't need any new signings just a couple of years ago.
The back tracking is truly something to behold.

Its going to be Rodgers or Potter. Season over in 2 weeks, we'll hopefully know within 3 weeks. Problem is without a DOF i'm not sure we'll see the level of change that is needed.Alasdair with another write up.

Spurs draw up shortlist of next manager candidates and will push on with talks
football.london understands Tottenham Hotspur are reaching the business end of their attempts to find a new manager to replace Jose Mourinhowww.football.london
TLDR: The club has put together a shortlist and are moving into sounding them out. The club is however not telling him anything regarding names so he is just re-using the same paragraphs about the same names as previously with some new sentences taped on.

He's getting grumpy on twitter something fierce now. I do not pity his mentions.He must be getting as bored writing those articles as we are reading them!
Honestly, despite what the documentary implied, I think Hitchens, with an intelligent manager asking for solutions to problems rather than brand names, could work well to get what we need. I worry about slow pace due to Levy, but if Hitchens, of his own accord, was targeting players like Bergwijn, then I would be fairly confident in his judgement. I think that the problem was much more Mourinho and Mendes requirements rather than Spurs own internal views of what we needed.Its going to be Rodgers or Potter.

Is Bergwijn not a bang average player? What am I missing here?Honestly, despite what the documentary implied, I think Hitchens, with an intelligent manager asking for solutions to problems rather than brand names, could work well to get what we need.

I think he's an excellent attacking prospect who is a victim of a ridiculously inappropriate manager who has no idea what to do with him and gave him no minutes.Is Bergwijn not a bang average player? What am I missing here?
I hope you're right, but Mourinho actually did give him quite a lot of opportunities, albeit in a more water-carrying role.I think he's an excellent attacking prospect who is a victim of a ridiculously inappropriate manager who has no idea what to do with him and gave him no minutes.

Earlier today he posted a article about Spurs filing for a planning agreement to expand the training ground so the women's team have their own space and to build a new medical/sports science facility in a few years time. And all the replies were just "SO NOW THERE'S MONEY?!" or such. Ignoring that it clearly said that we wanted to build in a few years and not now.
