"Yes sir Mr. Winks, didn't want to cause any prob...."
Ledley is literally not allowed to take over. He's not a coach. He doesn't have his license.
You need a license to manage a soccer team?Ledley is literally not allowed to take over. He's not a coach. He doesn't have his license.
That's the problem. If Levy could he would have appointed Ledley instead.
Yes. At the very least to be the one in charge. In England it is called coaching badges.
Oh give him a break. Imagine trying to coach this nuclear hazard site of a dressing room, especially when you've got personal relationships with some of these guys.
This. Mason was hired to get us to the end of the line and to be a feel good puppet figure.Oh give him a break. Imagine trying to coach this nuclear hazard site of a dressing room, especially when you've got personal relationships with some of these guys.
Mason was hired to make the calendar turn over to May 24th, and barring any interstellar hijinks he is succeeding on that basis.
Why on earth the club would make this appointment is another question entirely.
This. Mason was hired to get us to the end of the line and to be a feel good puppet figure.
In hindsight we should have gotten someone like Rafa in on interim who could actually commandeer the dressing room. But hindsight is always 20/20.
Mason does not deserve personal attacks because of this.
No offence to Ledley but...ummm...not exactly the best...um...communicator from what...um...I have...um...seen.and those that think Ledley is the answer, remember he was coaching when Jose was here and the defence was awful then

A company stooge is what he looks like. Just doing his master's bidding. The worst manager in our recent history, the most defensive, negative footballing dinosaur imaginable was playing Ndombele ahead of Winks. Yet, Ryan puts his little buddy in ahead of Tanguy immediately.He is putting his mates ahead of the club and supporters. He is then going to head back to the academy and set a very important guideline of what it takes to play for Spurs.
I have no idea what point he is trying to prove by sticking to his designated line up at all costs but he is ruining his managerial career before it has even started. And for what? To keep his mates and Levy happy?
The fans aren't blind.
