Can we please have a set-piece coach back ffs.
Maybe Kane will get him in as a Bayern coachGet him on his way out into the real world to find out if he's a real coach at this level.
Attacking coach? LOL
We were close enough I agree and he killed any chance we had stone dead by bringing on Sissoko and taking off MouraIMO the defence gave 100% yesterday and were very good. Mason made a couple of dodgy choices and it didn't quite work. But he gave Bale more of a game and we didn't get beat by a cricket score. Youngest manager of all time to take the reigns in a league cup final, with 6 days to prepare. I think he did a pretty good job. We were close enough to have nicked it with a counter attack goal.
If mason can’t be impartial and gives preference to his buddies, then levy’s even more incompetent than I thought.Let's look forward to playing
Sissoko, Winks, Dele, Bale
And losing
Lloris, Kane, Son and Ndombele
He should not have been thrust into this. Any football fan can see that this was a shambles and whilst I agree with much of what you say, the rest of our season is important to keep our best players. Do NOT understand the Ndombele omission and the subs were horrendous given that we needed to attack. We waved the white flag with 10 minutes to go as we were left with an unbalanced team and no hope of getting back into it. I'm sure they have a better team but Spurs should play with pride.I doubt anybody is happy with our current standing, but our plight isn’t Ryan Mason’s fault.
The result yesterday was mostly expected; City have a better squad than us and are definitely better coached. There’s also no way anyone could have undone the last 17 months in just six days. Mason’s only other game in charge has been a win so I’m not sure what more we could ask of him?
There’s only one person to blame for our current predicament and that Levy. It would be ridiculous to sack our interim manager after two games for getting the results that we’d expect. We’d be a laughing stock and it would be embarrassing. If he can get top six in the league then great, but if not we move on to next season hopefully with a decent manager in and a more cohesive squad. The damage was done months ago and allowed to get progressively worse. The decision to remove José should have been made weeks or even months ago not a week before a cup final.
Levy's problem is he sees himself as a proper wheeler-dealer, buy low sell high type of guy.Ryan isn’t a ‘club legend’ and has never pretended to be one!
He has been thrust prematurely into a role he is totally unsuited for at this stage of his career and made bad errors on Sunday as a result
As other posters have already said and I agree with them that this is all on Levy who has taken the cheapest option until the end of the season like he did with Timmy
To even consider sacking Ryan now would make us a bigger laughing stock than we already are so I agree with the posters saying that this thread should be taken down
We are a laughing stock because of Levy’s tinkering
With Poch he should have sacked him at the end of the season after the CL final or gave him funds and another season
He did neither and sacked him mid season and appointed Jose who had a huge task on his hands as a result like him or loath him!
Now I’m hearing that the final row between Levy and Jose was in her Dele and Winks
Jose wanted rid and Levy wanted them back in the side!
So we’ll get either Ten Hag or Potter imv but whoever we get needs a DOF to help with a total rebuild and Levy to keep his nose out of football related matters and stick to what he’s good at
Rant over!
I am sure we miss deals because of it , if you could get 20 million from two buyers , one was Levy the other wasn’t, who would you want to deal with. He makes every deal painful and is often accused of backtrading, at least that is how I see it.It worked fine with VDV once but they’re all wise to Levy now
SAF said never again after the Berba transfer when Levy charged him taxi fares etc
lol
The Berbatov transfer sums up the issue with Levy.It worked fine with VDV once but they’re all wise to Levy now

One of the most shameful episodes of the Levy era.The Berbatov transfer sums up the issue with Levy.
Sure he got the big fee, but Frazier Campbell on top of a knackered Pavlyuchenko? Completely ruined us for half a season.
I've stuck this in here because I can't see a match thread but really there's very little talk about the match. Apparently, one of our most influential players wants to leave and it's all about him, seems odd that anyone who's such an influential player would instigate such a position for his Club and best mate to answer in a press conf. Can't be true? No "leader" or "man" would do such a thing, would they?
Anyway, the most impressive thing about his time as an interim coach has been in front of the camera.
Lucas was our most in form player yet was discarded for Dele. I was first to say Dele was being treated harshly by Mourinho but Mates-on just dropping an in form player to continuously play him makes no sense.As I said in the previous post I don't see what that opinion has to do with his performance in his press conferences.
It's also becoming increasingly apparent that there's been a fair bit going on behind the scenes that he's also having to navigate, such as Kane, a poorly conditioned team fitness-wise. It's imperative that some players that have had their confidence shattered under the dinosaur are addressed.
Whether you think Rodon should play over Dier is immaterial, maybe Rodon is a bit of a twat like his brother appears to be??? Is Son his mate? Because I think he's been shit and I would have played Bergwjin instead, or is his mate just happens to be Winks? What about PEH, is he his mate? I think he's looked more like a lampost the last 10 games or so and shouldn't be selected or is it just Winks, Winks, Winks and Dier?? I don't think Kane should be selected for the last game, just as Rose and Walker weren't (and what most other managers would do if a player wanted out of their team), but I'm not going to give him stick if he selects him at the weekend because I think he can't win in any event on what he decides to do.
