Absolutely, especially since no other team has been affected by it.Re: Naglesmann that's what I mean by "he wouldn't". I don't think it's generally a good idea for someone that young to be in this league anyway, as AVB seemed to show just how eager the media can be to undermine a manager that is young that some players. If he wants an easy ride he'll hang on for a big job that practically does itself, like your PSG/Barca/Real/Juve type things.
I think Jose has taken on the same issues at spurs as he did at United. Can't play too attacking, because the defence is too bad. Can't play too defensive, because the results will suffer.
It's a weird season, and if Jose goes he'll always have COVID as an excuse.
Give it Ledley King till the end of the season!Wonder if Levy might consider bringing Scott Parker back
Course you could. I even put money on Spurs dropping out of the top 4 when they top in October. This demise was obvious because Mourinho is the worst manager in the league currently, he’s so past it.A dramatic fall from grace, even the hardest haters couldn’t predict this after they were «title contenders» a bit earlier. They never were of course. Joke of a club, they hate trophies, absolutely hate them.
Probably not. But that's not my point!
Don't think David would do that. Maybe PR reasons only. Football reasons, nah.More like Inter Miami if he keeps this up.

Gentleman, I give you two words, one name: Jermaine Jenas.Give it Ledley King till the end of the season!
He won two European trophies with Porto too. He was obviously a good manager.The thing about the past, erm, decade of Mou is that I now genuinely question how good he was. It's not like that Chelsea team wasn't the most expensive, and easily best squad in the league when he was in charge. They also won things without him.
Inter feels the most impressive, but the way that team played and the reliance on moments of serious fortune...I dunno.
I wonder if tactically he was ever all that.

I think he was all that. His Chelsea side were incredibly efficient. Beating his side was a rare occasion. Remember he went something like 5/6 years without losing a home game. At a time there was no one better at spoiling a game a preparing his team for a match. People forget Roman also gave Ranieri money but he wasn't a patch on Mourinho.The thing about the past, erm, decade of Mou is that I now genuinely question how good he was.

"Not my fault."
"Not my fault."
The generally feeling from the 'fan' side, reading opinions throughout the saga, is that someone like Potter or Parker is the type of guy that should be next - not a big name. A young manager who has a good style of play with lesser players (basically what pre-Spurs Poch was).
Parker's a little too wet behind the ears though, as Frank was, but I think Potter has a good CV. Unlikely to be available in the short term.
Allegri and Nagglesman seem to be itching for a chance, but I think Allegri said (when he was linked to Utd) that he wouldn't take over mid-season, and JN wouldn't (I doubt), so the only option would be a caretaker imo. It just depends on whether they'd give Sacramento or King a go of it, or blow the cobwebs off David Pleat, or even get Ryan Mason to cover. Who knows.
My general feeling is that nothing will happen. What's different here is that he doesn't seem to have lost the dressing room or anything, and I imagine Kane wants a trophy and will feel that Jose is his best chance or it.
Our issue is that we have a comedy show at the back, rather than the same complete lack of effort/passion that beset the last 6 months or so of Pochettino that people wistfully forget about. He went a good 10 months of this form in the league, with more worrying signs - not just 6 games.
Yeah but his objective is to have a go at Eriksen. Bringing up players you've had success with in the past is not the right way to motivate new players who are going through a tough patch. Not only that the tone is far too serious.
Or this mister
Potter would be a mistake I think. I don’t think his first team is that bad at all, yet, he has only won 5 games all season.
Spurs can’t take that risk and could well find themselves mid table under him.

He's lost his edge and football has evolved past him. His personality makes unbearable when things aren't going his way which seems more and more the case these days.
But don't take away from him that between 2004-2010, he was arguably the best manager in the world.
He was great until 2010 and even very good until 2012/13. After that it has been a steep decline.The thing about the past, erm, decade of Mou is that I now genuinely question how good he was.

Levy really drank the kool aid.The Athletic say there isn't a break clause in his contract. Seems like Spurs will have to give him a massive pay off even if they win nothing and miss out on top 4.
Key signings that summer Cech and Robben were both Ranieri signings weren't they?They'd have still won the league with Ranieri despite Mo being the better manager.
The only teams that can afford to buy him, won't, and when he was with us he lived in a hotel so he could keep commuting to his beloved London.He will be off to Germany soon. Its so open over there that a shithouse like Jose would thrive because they can sit back and be assured of success on the break.
