No manager has ever done both at Spurs.
Villa missed out on top 4 last year and got beat 3-0 to Crystal Palace in an FA cup semi final! Is that really what we are hoping to become?

Villa missed out on top 4 last year and got beat 3-0 to Crystal Palace in an FA cup semi final! Is that really what we are hoping to become?
He'll do better in the league and be more consistent but we'll win nothing because we won't be targetting any cups and we don't have the squad to win cups if we aren't going full strenght
Villa currently are just below the level Spurs were under Poch.
We did have Harry Kane though.
If Villa had him in their team at the moment, instead of Ollie Watkins, where would they be?
Lets see if Villa can go and win the Europa League next season if its so easy... They aren't anywhere near where we were at under Poch. Finished 1 point ahead of us 2 seasons ago and couldn't even finish in the top 5 last year and that team is nearly as good as us under Poch? Behave!
Couldn't win the Europa conference league. Lost 3-0 in an fa cup semi final last year when they were strong favourites. They've won nothing. Their biggest achievement under Emery so far is finishing 1 point above us to make top 4 when we also didn't have HARRY KANE. Stop gassing them up
This notion AGAIN that Ange sacrificed the league for the Europa - fuck me lads let it go will ya!
On Eze - again after years of us talking about him, hes a very good player definitely but it doesn't look like we were really after him now does it? I always thought it would be hard to get him and Maddison / Son in the team over the last few seasons and he aint a left winger to replace Son so I'm not really bothered on him not coming to Spurs.
Signs aren't great so far in the window but you would hope they are assessing more off the radar.
I have no confidence in Levy doing anything in transfer policy he hasn't been doing though so expect one 50 million punt on low wages and two more u23 players on even lower wages.

We don't know that yet.
Under Poch we came close to winning a few cups.
We spaffed a few Semi finals and finals.
People often talk about the Champions League final but the one we lost to Jose's Man United, having been ahead, was a fatal blow.
That team lost belief in the big moments.
Sometimes it's just luck.
Another question wtaf is Spursway? Asking for a friend.One question, what happens if Frank walks around at Spursway and spots a Dickhead?
JUST below? Not even close mate. Most over rated team in the league - Villa are another medicore season away from sacking the manager imho.
Why is this "notion" not just common knowledge? Its not even a debate.
Can you explain to me why Romero and VDV didn't start one League game together since Christmas but both played all the Europa League KO games? Does that not clearly indicate that we targetted the Europa League over the League? Is that not just fucking obvious
I disagree.
They've bought and sold quite well recently.
If Spurs finish above Villa this season we will be heading in the right direction.
I see Branthwaite and Semenyo have both signed new contracts. I wonder if they have release clauses?
Eze is a perfect patsy for itk's to use as clickbait for the gullible masses, lost count of the number of times we've been linked despite Parish confirming Palace didn't receive one enquiry the whole of last season. BS about sacrificing the league for Europa agreed but it's perfectly reasonable to believe it became the priority circa March when it became evident we were safe from relegation and it looked the only path left open to win anything....anyhoo ' how we did it I don't know '.....'how we did it I don't care.'....
The stats don't lie.
5th in the first season.
Europa League winners second season.
If Frank matches that we will be doing OK.
I think villa could, be heading for financial trouble.
They are operating at around 95% wage to turnover ratio, but generate around half our income.
They have over committed, and spurs have under committed with a 42% one and double the income.
I see Woolwich in for Eze properly now.
Funny that we start leaking that we are backing off Eze, via our usual journalists, then start moving for Kudus, at the exact same time that Woolwich move for him and Eze saying he wants to join them starts coming out.
You don't have to be a detective to think that we actually were in for Eze, but he's told us he favours Woolwich and that is why we've backed off. It's not because we didn't want him, we've been rejected.
So we've now moved down the list, to Kudus.
