Which manager? We need such a top man to attract players…..the big names will not come to us in the state we are currently in….they might if we had a top guy in charge and a bucketful of money.

They absolutely HATE that it was a know-nothing Australian rather than one of their accomplished European faves that got it done.
These same people insist that “Mourinho would have definitely won us the 2021 league Cup vs City” - ignoring that we got smashed 3-0 by them a few weeks prior and the path to the final was a bye vs Leyton Orient, Championship Stoke and championship Brentford.
If it wasn't for seeing him with the cup yesterday, I would have said this is AI!!!!!
These are the same peole who will tell you that our European Trophy is worthless because we easily brushed aside a terrible Bodo Glimpt side...
Then will applaud how well we are doing in Champions League by scraping a draw against the MIGHTY Bodo Glimpt a few months later
Slightly more insane than the constant cries for Poch who, despite having the best team of a generation, won nothing. Then went elsewhere to do nothing since.
I don't want either back but Ange isn't the only ex-manager constantly being mentioned on here.
Also, regarding cupgate...how on earth did no-one in the changing room tell Frank about the logo. He may not have seen it but someone made him the drink, he walked around inside with it - there is no way no-one else didn't notice it.
Every time I come into this thread, I hope for someone to convince me that the right manager is out there waiting for us.
And every time I leave, I think we're gonna get the next one wrong as well.
There just isn't a stand-out candidate

This would have been such a good line if they didn't have their name on the league this year
It's kinda back-fired
That's because it's been attempted by dogshit managers.

All this fuss about the cup yet nothing is said about us having a fucking gooner running the club!
The players don't respect him.
That has been clear for many weeks, literally on public display.
That can never work. He won't earn their respect whilst the players down tools. He needs to have earned their respect in his roles before joining Spurs, and that's on those that appointed him.
Nuno had the same problem. Clearly the players, especially Kane, didn't respect him.
Like them or not, players respected Mourinho and Conte.

Maybe - but their keeper made an excellent save last night so we should have been walking it. Our keeper made no saves. We have two options when assessing last night's game
- Vicario should have kept at least one of their goals out (apparently you should expect him to save any)
- Petrovic should have not saved at least VDV's header (one which you shouldn't expect him to have saved)
None of this is a "pro-Frank" comment, or a defence of Frank - I think everyone can agree it was one of our best performances, which might not be saying much, but he still outdid Iraola.
We had:
- More possession
- More shot, and more on target
- More passes, and higher pass completion %
- More xG
I'm not necessarily seeing a team that is overall dropping points justifiably - I'm seeing a team that is conceding goals from nothing, if not manufacturing conceding goals, that is not getting the rub of the green with referees, and that has fine margins between it being 2-0 up or 1-0 down.
Something clearly isn't working, whether or not it's player ability, dressing room/attitude issues, or lacking the killer touch that Deki, Maddison and Solanke have.
Again, this isn't me saying Frank is good or should stay, but the margins between us winning and losing have been so fine recently in terms of the actual football. I'm not seeing the absolute batterings that we had under late Conte/Stellini or last season where we were clining on for dear life and only scoring off counter attacks.
What I would reiterate is how I'm totally not seeing why people would want Iraola
Shopping?
