I didn't see this coming but it isn't a surprise what with the amount of coaches we've had in so short a space of time. I shook my head when Mourinho was sacked just 4 days before a final and was struck dumb when Ange was sacked for Frank. i read that Ange didn't compete on all fronts so they hired Frank whom they thought would. Brain dead.This will be the second time I've seen Spurs relegated if it happens and I saw them escape relegation in season 73/74 or 74/75. I still feel that if they win one they'll have a good run. But...............yet another sending off when we least need it and that's done me.
It's like, before the game, the players have a meeting and decide who is going to do something really stupid to cost us the game. Yesterday was VdV's turn.
My cousin (God bless her) was at the game last night and was watching the warmups and said she had no idea what the coaches were doing, it was all chaos, the players looked clueless and confused.
I feel like this is just more catnip for the media, to fuel their endless appetite for Spurs-in-crisis stories. These days I'm staying away from football news and websites, mostly. It does your head in. Our owners persisted with Frank for about 2 months too long probably, and now they're going to act again after 3 matches? No, for better or worse, we're sticking with him. If we do go down, it won't be because of him. To appoint someone else would just add to the circus.
I stand by my statement then, and I maintain NOW that, for the good of football itself, Spurs must appoint Big Sam to battle bravely against relegation.
Wherever Big Sam has gone, it takes him about 8-10 games to drill his system into the players. Then he starts to get consistent results. We don't have that time.
I agree with this. Dyche seems to make the most sense. He seems to have a good track record as well. At Watford in 49 games 1.37 PPG. While at Burnley in 425 games a 1.34 PPG, at Everton in 83 games 1.23 PPG, and while at Forest in 25 games 1.4 PPG. That is at least pretty decent.
I would play better for Dyche just to ensure he wouldn't talk to me with that voice of his. Mate, clear your throat.
Bah, with the international break, that will give Spurs the requisite time to grasp his concepts of football. There are names in the history of Britain that inspire the hearts and minds of her people: Nelson Churchill Allardyce
Wascally Woy Hodgson has been appointed Bristol City manager at the age of 78. Now that was one name that wasn't linked with us. I guess his cardiologist and insurance company would have discouraged him from taking the Spurs job.
The inevitable Poch rumours have been swirling about the blabbershpere, despite the small matter of him being the head coach of the main host of this summer's WC. However, it seems our Yankee cousins are not as enamoured of the Argentinian as much as we are. I saw with great amusement that a Fire Poch thread on the USA Men's forum is up to page 158 and counting. And that the thread was started before he had officially been announced!
The man's rested and ready. https://www.givemesport.com/tottenham-shock-england-manager-replace-igor-tudor-sam-allardyce/ Just make the call.
It's official, Tudor gone, yet another flop appointment from our inept ownership: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...4-days-with-club-mired-in-relegation-troubled
In his last two gigs, he came in and took West Brom and Leeds down, respectively. The Baggies job should have been enough to say 'that's Big Sam done, then'. They were awful. But it wasnt, and he got another last gasp salvation attempt at Elland Road. They managed a single point from the twelve on offer. That's Big Sam done, then ... surely?
Yup. I was thinking, just a few minutes ago, about what the most absurd upcoming appointment might be, and you know, nothing seemed beyond the pale. However daft something seemed, there was a little voice saying, 'yeah, i could see that'.
