I will be genuinely surprised if he’s still the manager by Monday evening.

Dunno why I have it in my head we do such things after a weekend? Could be wrong, but a Sunday sacking doesn’t seem every Tottenham.
I think he’ll be gone tomorrow. If he’s given the West Ham game it’s a disgrace.

I actually can’t understand why there is even one person who supports Tottenham who thinks he should still be our manager.

I will not listen to any of his pressers,pre match or post match interviews again. He just bores me then my anger takes over. I have never wanted a Tottenham manager out of my club as much as this guy.
 
Forest is a team we've had problems with for years. In the 96/97 season, they finished bottom and still managed to beat us home and away.

In that period between 94 and 97, we did not get a single win against them and were defeated 4-1 at home when they were a newly promoted team. They also managed to knock us out of the FA Cup on penalties in the following season.

There are problems with them going back to the 70s.
Ist not only about Forest. We have big Problems against EVERYONE in the PL! That is scary!
 
Pay Marseilles the money, get De Zerbi

Get him a proper CM and save the season.

We can still finish in top 6 or top8 from here if we have a coherent approach.

I just dont want us to have another wasted season

Would love that, but that's a big boy move.

That’s 2 good second half’s in a row but we have lost both and why are we starting so poorly in the first place , had we approached the first half of the last 2 games like we did the second we win both
We had a good first half against sunnderland but a dreadful second half. It's all down to Frank.

Sunderland at home we approached differently. We wanted to be on the front foot and dominated them in the first half. But the. Second half we sat back and let them take over. Against Bournemouth and Villa we sat back and let them dominate us, then in the second half we chased the games and looked a far better team.

This is all down to tactics and how we are approaching games. We are a far better team when we just press up and go man for man and actually play with urgency. Despite many false narratives on here, we actually do have some good players who can win their 1v1 duals if we get bodies forward and create them scenarios. But when we sit off then we are so easy to play against and all our forward players are outnumbered. And we no longer have world class attackers like kane and son who can create and score goals despite being totally outnumbered. We need to create 1v1 scenarios and that only works when we get enough bodies forward.

Whatever way you want to dress it up. It's all down to the manager and his approach. Our best spell against Liverpool came when we were 2-0 down and down to 10 men. We threw all his defensive cynical tactics out the window, pressed up, got the fans onside and gave Liverpool a very tough final 20 mins!
 
So the players are the ones who gave each other a rocket at HT
If I was to guess, Pahlinha, VDV and Spence. Maybe Davies, Tel and Danso. First 3 are the emotional types, 3 more reserved but intelligent.

Good idea until he says he only comes if Greenwood comes with him.
 
Think we'll sack him today and will be official tomorrow morning.
If the rumours that its going to cost 20m to sack him are true then I've an awful feeling that the club will persist with him. Say what you like about Levy, but if he was here then he'd be swayed by the crowd and would sack him now. I don't think Vinai does. He has no affiliation with the spurs fans, he would have hated us for years! And he prob thinks we are the problem.

I've an awful feeling that this is going to get alot worse and that the divide between the fans and the people running spurs is going to grow much worse. They need to sack him now or this will get very ugly very quickly
 
I'm still of the belief that we need a rebuild. But we need someone who has respect and understands spurs. We need our club back. We need our identity back.

My first preference would be Poch. But appreciate that's unlikely unless we wait until the Summer and I don't think Enic will ever bring poch back anyway. Apparently Levy was always pro Poch and constantly overruled.

So my next preference would be McKenna. He might not have the credentials of the others but he gets spurs. His football is better than Frank's. He will understand the importance of hating Woolwich and he'll have us showing up in Derby games. He's also the perfect rebuild manager in my opinion.

That's where I'm at. I think de zerbi will be too extreme and nearly similar to Ange. It's not sustainable football. I don't think Glasner would come and I'm not sure he'd be a good fit anyway. Iraola would be my next choice but I really like McKenna. I think he'd unite the club. It might be underwhelming for the likes of VDV and Romero who could force and move but we need a rebuild manager. We aren't there yet and are years away. We just need a manager who loves us and can unite everyone and create momentum. If it takes 2/3 years then I'm fine with that. I just want my spurs back and Frank has taken that away
