Thanks to the CO92 and his friends and our impotent board. He should have been relieved all of his duties to avoid this. He is a dead man walking and everyone knows it. We aren't going to magically get someone in 3 weeks if we don't have 1.
That’s a really good shout, that.
I think they are talking to Xavi to be manager. Besides I think Ten Hag will end up at Newcastle if they get Overmars.
I probably should have read the Tweet first eh
In that case, nooooooooooo! feck off Barca!
Yeah. Though currently it sounds like they’ll be going for Xavi. I’m more concerned that our club isn’t even interested in Ten Hag and really only have eyes for Pochettino tbh, more so than competition from Barca.
You have to laugh.
This is what supporters (or ex-supporter?) of Ole have come to now. Bemoaning the negativity around the club after being thrashed 0-5 at OT by our biggest rivals. The negativity is very much required and is here to stay until fundamental changes are made (changing the team management to begin with; make your peace with it or log off from every forum).
I have another word for that.
. I browse Spurs forums occasionally. Based on what I read, the gist of what they think of Poch’s reign is as follows:It's a deeply ironic state of affairs given we don't associate toxicity with Ole, but with Jose, and yet both have created a form of toxicity surrounding the club.
Poet?
He is a coach at least, unlike Ole
- Good at coaching a structured possession-focused, high pressing system based on a lot of hard yards by players
- Good at improving individual players (lots of them credit him with Harry Kane’s rise)-
- Needs time to implement his system (have to live with poor performances for longer than the likes of Pep, Klopp until things click)
- Not great at in-game management (substitutions etc.)
- Final season attributed to totally burning out his players over the years and not being allowed to refresh his squad even though he had been calling for it.
But yeah, I really hope we go for someone better. I don’t trust the board at all though, so I’m trying to find positives in the likely scenario that we end up with Pochettino.
A caretaker is the only thing that makes a bit of sense in this whole fiasco, unless Conte comes in and it sounds like the board have reservations making that appointment. If we can bring in someone like Blanc until the end of the season what's the worst that can happen? If Ole, who came in in December managed to elevate our results for 3 months then I'm confident another caretaker manager could keep the ship afloat until the end of the season.
Nothing bad is gonna happen, but you're placing your bet on chips that are unlikely to fall in place. For one, if the deal is to wait for the summer for Ten Hag to come, what guarantees do we have that he will come? Furthermore, it is a risky appointment by itself. I welcome it, but we need success now, not 5 years from now or whatever. And If Ten Hag doesn't come, what do we do then? Keep in mind that PSG might be gunning for him, or City (depending on whether Guardiola stays or leaves at the end of this season). We don't have the resources to compete with the sheikhs. While we dither Conte might get snatched and then we're going to be in big trouble and have to gamble it all on someone like Graham (who I do rate highly, but it is a massive gamble nevertheless). We'll also waste a shit ton of time that could be spent on Conte fixing the system, seeing what works, what player he needs, etc.
Adds up.
Which is why someone like Blanc, in my opinion would be a good choice. I think he only has 6 or 7 months left on his contract so he's accessible. Maybe not a top quality coach we'd need full time but as a stop gap he wouldn't be the worst choice.
