Manager Ryan Mason

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

stinks of jobs for the boys. another bit of spuryness still stinking the place out. what has he done to warrant being a coach here? this aint a fucking charity, its meant to be a club who generates some of the highest revenue in the world...what the fuck is he doing as a coach.

if harry winks gets an injury will he get a job on the coaching team too?
 
he wasnt exactly harry kane was he. lets be honest he was shit and got shifted out to shit sides to find his level..... if he was a big player youd kind of get it...but he was far from. he should be coaching league 1 sides, not a side trying to finish top 4. fucking embarrassing from the club, this isnt how a big club behaves, chucking out important roles like some sort of fucking charity. what the fuck is ryan mason going to teach the likes of maddison, bissouma and bentancur? he couldnt lace their boots! 32 year old retired championship level midfielder....soft fucking charity shit.

I can see that hen could be a good coach but he’s said before he wants the managers job and he’s seen before that his best chance at getting it is when another manager gets fired.

Needs to go out into the real world and earn it before getting it because right now he’s a permanent feature that’s still left over from a losing culture of permanent furniture at the club. I’d love him to go and win stuff then come back but I just don’t trust him floating around anymore.

Attacking coach? LOL

Him being an attacking coach, our manager publicly stating fixing set piece defending won't in any way help in where we want to be, our manager rallying cry on the eve of a NLD is is to tell the fans there will be dissapointment, Jedinak being a coach doing what exactly?

just plain weird.

He should do what Kieran McKenna did... Learn your trade in lower leagues, and now he's on the brink of becoming a PL manager... and possibly the type of young, up and coming coach for US to consider one day...

I hope Ange isn’t so dogmatic and set in his ways that he can’t see that we are very very poor on set pieces and concede way too often because of stupid mistakes or lack of awareness.

What is troubling to me is that opponents have been pushing Vic around during corner kicks now for many games in a row and there seems to be zero reaction or adjustments.

Just looking at their transfer activity in the last 2 seasons. Either he, or their scouts must be masterminds as there's nothing OTT in there.

How many teams have gone from league 1 to the PL in successive seasons?

Definitely one to watch out for IMO. If they come up and settle he has to be of interest to a lot of clubs.
Obviously if they get battered every week then maybe not.

Tbh i think mason is there as eyes and ears of coach and players so can report to levy anything. Hes a permanent caretake manager for us unless he wants to try somewhere else.

That’s a bit paranoid but same time Levy is a control freak so he’d love to have an inside man in the coaching staff.

I just think it’s better for Ryan and Ange if he pursues his chances in the real world
 
Pro's and con's.

He is only 32 which for a manager is nothing. He is learning his trade in a club that churns through managers at a fast pace so has a lot to work with.

A more cynical person than me would think he knows he just has to chill out in the shadows until the current bloke is sacked and he is in the top job albeit for a short while.

By what metric is he qualified to coach us? No way he takes credit for our great start. But what IS he responsible for? I just don't get it.

this is down to levy because hes been here through a few managers now hasnt he. absolutely stinks! he has absolutely no right to have such an important role at this club, hes not earned it. been given it out of fucking sympathy. well never do fuck all if this is how the club operates.

if he was an ex player who was world class and won bundles youd get it....if it was luka modric youd understand it.....hes ryan mason. fucking sympathy handout.

Most great players make shit coaches though, this has been proven out time and again. The 2 are different skill sets.

I've said often that Mason needs to switch clubs to earn his stripes if he wants to actually become a top manager. But not having been a great player means fuck all regarding his ability as a coach.

I'm not at all understanding where this campaign against him is coming from, honestly, as if he's to blame for yesterday. Other than everyone is just angry and lashing out.
