Tottenham Hotspur 2022-23

[Zapp Brannigan]

Predictable and inevitable. Thanks and good wishes to Conte, could see exactly what he was trying to do but ultimately it never chimed with the fans.

Nagelsmann is an interesting one, but ultimately I want Poch back. The same squad but with just a few upgrades (Spence for Royal, Udogie for Perisic, someone like Hincapie or Max Kilman for Lenglet, Henderson or Pickford for Lloris) and most importantly play with the handbrake off; a higher press, more adventurous wingbacks, quicker to get the ball up the pitch.

I know I'm dreaming a bit, but a Pochettino signing press conference with a surprise appearance by Kane to also put pen to paper (recreating those ace "Pocettino in a suit with a player signing a contract" memes) would have the place absolutely buzzing.

You know you'll get another Christian gross

BBC Knows.

Obviously the article runs through the runners up first:

Luis Enrique
Thomas Frank
Oliver Glasner
Ryan Mason
Julian Nagelsmann
Mauricio Pochettino
Marco Silva
Cristian Stellini
Roberto de Zerbi

Before settling on the clear favourite:

Zinedine Zidane

Sol Campbell's looking for work.

Keep looking

 

[tommers]

Frank and Stevie G both available.

Joint managers?

 

[stavros]

Not specific to Spurs, how important is it that a new manager can speak passable English? Looking at this speculative list from the Beeb, we know that Frank, Mason, Poch, Silva and de Zerbi can, but can Enrique, or Zidane?

 

[tommers]

Joint managers?

Now we're talking. Imagine the pashun!

Sarri didn't at Chelsea, don't think Bielsa did at Leeds

 

[tommers]

Director of Football banned as well? This is starting to look negligent. I mean, it's all relative, you're still 4th or whatever. Hardly a crisis.

This, to a degree. There are at least five established clubs with more resources than Spurs, plus Newcastle.

2 shots on target
deserved not to win it

 

[Maggot]

I don't see how it can be a penalty if you're not aware of the player you've fouled.

Amazing goal from Keane.

 

[tommers]

Imagine travelling what? 300 miles? To watch your team and then walking out after 25 mins when they are already 5-0 down. Almost feel sorry for them.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Just embarrassing. Today was the day that Harry Kane made his mind up to leave.

Let that also be a lesson to all the fans out on social media who have been shouting for us to play 4 at the back, as if players magically just change systems seamlessly. We're used to a back 3 and our full backs aren't full backs at all, Stellini sent them out on a hiding to nothing. Shambles, utter shambles.

Pochettino in by tomorrow please. Or Nagelsmann, or Kompany, anything but more of the same.

 

[marshall]

Not a Spuds fan - phew! - but feel for Kane, get the impression he desperately doesn’t want to leave, but really knows he should; tbh club should get what they can for him and start again. Actually think you’re in worse shape than Chelsea.

 

[Cerberus]

Well, this has been coming for what feels like years now. Levy/ENIC are now exposed - not just to our support (we all knew) but to the whole football world. Where the club goes from here is anyone’s guess but I’m sure it’s not up!

Lack of any coherent managerial / coaching direction. Knee jerk appointments. Bone headed recruitment of players - even worse is the retention of those who should’ve been shipped on years ago (Levy clearly afraid to lose money). Still, there’s a go-karting track and Beyoncé….

 

[Pickman's model]

ian walker must be chuffed that now people will forget his more abject games

 

[The39thStep]

So let me get this right: Spurs sacked their manager and appointed the manager's assistant and they have now sacked the assistant manager and appointed the assistant manager's assistant?

 

[Cerberus]

That would seem correct at time of typing 39thStep. However, by the time you read this it could be all change again…

 

[Puddy_Tat]

So let me get this right: Spurs sacked their manager and appointed the manager's assistant and they have now sacked the assistant manager and appointed the assistant manager's assistant?

as a temporary interim acting manager?

 

[tommers]

as a temporary interim acting manager?

ASSISTANT temporary interim acting manager.

 

[The39thStep]

and it looks like Chelsea are appointing an ex manager of Spurs to replace their interim manager who they had sacked previously when he was manager

 

[not-bono-ever]

I am not a tots but this really is a shameful way to run a club, but them tot owners have previous for dumping managers frequently.

'we will give everything to put things right?' they had fucking 90 minutes (plus stoppage time) to influence the result and failed dismally
