All he seems to do is get Frank his coffee for him!

Again though, if you're trying to defend the performance of the scouting department, then referring to a chunk of the players they've scouted as "the shit that clutters your squad" doesn't seem like a particularly strong starting point...
Your final line makes it seem as though you basically agree that they've been poor, so I'm not so sure why your so staunchly trying to defend them.
The only thing I can say in their favour is that it's not necessarily their fault if a player doesn't succeed here, the scouting could have been perfectly sound but they have no influence over how a player progresses once signed. And maybe they were pushing hard for players like Scott and Wharton but weren't listened to by the decision makers, we'll never really know.
I’m not trying to defend them at all.
My point is that their failures aren’t in trying to sign younger prospects (which is probably their remit anyway) but in their more expensive signings (which is worse because they’re much harder to move).
I agree that once a player comes in, it’s entirely down to the management and coaching staff to ensure they progress and are used properly.
I think that we are more or less in agreement.
The greenwood link had passed me by so fair enough, no de zerbi either
Where is he? We couldn’t stop seeing him in summer, gooner twat

Why did we hire this cunt?
Reckon he’s in trouble with Frank.
Levy could hire and fire with impunity. Vinai can’t because he’s replaceable.
Frank was his first big call and it’s been a disaster. If he asks the board for money to sack Frank and hire a new coach, his position under the Lewis family will be almost untenable. He’s holding onto Frank for dear life.

It's who we are...
We can't have anything good...
No even a chairman or CEO
Yep... two cunts cuddling in a corner until the inevitable happens and someone takes the decision out of his hands.
I thought Frank was a Levy appointment?
Definitely Vinai
Either way we really should be appointing an experienced DoF and delegating recruitment decisions to them, both player and managers.
Succession planning from Levy?
He wanted to make sure that if anything happened to him we'd keep on suffering in his absence
Yeah, don’t hire Gooners. Not difficult, is it?
Regardless I still think Vinai can pass it off as Levy
It's his one get out of jail free card, he can blame Levy this time and have a reset - but only this once and so he'd need to get it right
Levy had 25 years of chances and resets under ENIC. Why will they suddenly be so quick to pull the trigger on CEOs now? They haven't had a sudden change of heart about on-field matters. They've done nothing to indicate they care
I mean it's his chance to make a move without it obviously being on him
He can blame Levy, give himself a chance to get it right and get the fans inside
They were against Levy years ago, this is Vinai's last chance at a clean slate
Yeah but like I say, why does he need to shift the blame to Levy? Top 6, Top 10, top half, bottom half, sacked manager, wrong manager, I dont think ENIC give a shit.
If you could leave your football club like you could leave a job or a partner, Spurs would have few fans left. Sadly, they don't do anything to keep us, because we are fans for life, but in all seriousness, this club is rotten/toxic and needs a hell of a workover to bring back any enjoyment.
Quite a few not turning up these days. 57k last night. Take away the 9k Villafans and that’s 48k of ours turn up when it’s £30 . Without 42k ticket holders, who probably feel,obliged to turn up if they can’t sell their ticket, as they have already paid. If it was like the 80s we would be getting 20k like we did in those days.
2 wins are definitely required in next 2. West Ham and Burnley. If not we will be just above West Ham by end of Feb. Nightmare fixtures in Feb.
