The Managerial Merry-Go-Round

[Yid]

Oh and might I please fucking add....

We potentially, will have to start the season without our club or team captain from this season, as its quite fucking obvious they're both sick to the fucking guts of this shit...

And we'll probably have the YTS boy still at the helm as no other cunt will work with Levy and/or with the shower of shit players and back room set up we at the moment don't fucking have...!!!

And to top this turd with a tampon, we will have to watch Poch in the dug out of fucking Chavski and they hiss at us... as one of our local rivals fucking embarras us on every fucking level.

Yep, the best manager we have had since I've been a Yid, who was available and only needed to be fucking asked... managing them despicable cunts just a few miles across London.

Fuck you Levy, Fuck you very much.

 

[ClemFandango]

You just know the footballing gods will be giving us a massive fuck you by making our first home fixture of next season against Poch’s Chelsea ..

 

[BrooklynYid]

I really didn't want Nagglesman, but we seriously have really shit options at this point. If we couldn't win with Mourinho or Conte, we sure ain't winning with Glassner or Mason. There was really only one choice for manager, and Levy dicked it

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

If Mason wins the next three, will be happy with him. If he wins a trophy next season without spending a lot, will be triple happy

 

[ClemFandango]

I suppose you could argue that Conte got this current squad in to the Champions League and topping the group at his first attempt so, despite the shit football, he was performing minor miracles with what he had.

But I did want Nagelsmann. He's young with a modern, progressive approach to the game and would have had us playing the kind of attacking football we saw under Poch.

The never ending irony (and absolute fucking aggravation) is that whoever we hire will be touted as a "coach" who favours attacking football, the Spurs "DNA" and likes coaching the younger players.

Which we could have fucking had all along with Pochettino.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Levy’d.

Fucking grub.

 

[ClemFandango]

I'm gleaning this from a number of quotes but I'd wager it's probably the closest you'll get to what's happened.

Apparently Nagelsmann was fine with joining the club but he wanted assurances over the DoF position and whether or not he'd be backed in the transfer market. He got neither so he pulled out.

That's when the leaks started to appear that we were never interested in him and had never made contact.

I still think Graham Potter wouldn't be the worst choice. He'd certainly be a better choice than Brendan bloody Rodgers.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

Without CL and FFP closing in, we can't sensibly make big money promises
I want a manager who can improve us with low budget signings and inspired coaching

A manager is half the fucking battle...

We've got no backroom, youth development or scouting setup of note... none that can compete and give you the tools you want to see employed by an up and coming manager who makes sides look better than the sum of their parts...

We've never replaced Mitchell, or we did with a plastic DOF who was basically a broker for players agents and we lost our edge and reputation for giving players the chance to grow and become world beaters.

What you want is what Brighton have and we had in the early Poch years...

Levy didn't see us at that level which is why we looked at super managers... why he thought that "That Cunt" and Cunté we're the next evolution, completely missing the point that 1 superstar doth not maketh the title... and he is going to learn that for sure, the hard way, in the summer, when that one shinning sweetcorn kernel in the steaming pile of shit that is our first team, is plucked out and placed on someone else's plate...

BURN IT DOWN.

 

[Dave]

With the greatest respect to Ryan Mason, I really hope he doesn't get the job. He needs to go and learn his trade in the lower leagues and then have another go in a few years.
You can see there is no urgency or fight in the players. Strolling around rather than pressing aggressively. If Forester wasn't in good form we'd be already done here.

 

[ClemFandango]

Exactly. And I doubt there’ll be any major changes at half time either.

I know he doesn’t like it when people claim he picks his mates but this is what it seems like.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

I'm afraid Ryan has failed his audition, the players have to take a lot of the blame of course

 

[ClemFandango]

Urgh. I still hate this even though we knew it was coming. Romano has declared "here we go" on Poch to Chelsea

This is sickening. Levy had the opportunity, with the club in crisis, to bring back our most successful (and by far most popular) manager in the PL era. And it really looks like he spurned him to go after Nagelsmann, who just told us to fuck off.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

I just want a manager who treats all competitions seriously including LC and ECL. If we won a trophy next season and finished 8th, I would be delighted with that

I'd love to know if that's how it played out.

But then you know Levy's approach would have been more about getting the fans off his back rather than employing a young, ambitious coach.

You can just imagine the initial meeting ..

JN: "I'd like to have a say in transfers, a sizeable transfer budget and a DoF I can work with to turn the squad around"
DL: "You what ?. You'll get what we give you"
JN: "You can fuck off then"

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Gutted.

Totally agree. But IMO we have the resources to compete for the cups and higher up the league table.

 

[Yid]

I, would argue that a manager, a coaching system, a scouting network, a DoF or some other contrived job title and adequate palyers... would be considered resources...

We do not have those things, we so not have the resources...

IMO.... obviously.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

Totally agree. But IMO we have the resources to compete for the cups and higher up the league table.

We should have, but do we? Often it seems the cups get sacrificed because our Team B isnt up to it.

 

[Dave]

Just having a think about who we could actually get, and who'd be interested possibly..who knows the league and being realistic...I'd go for Thomas Frank. Think he's taken Brentford as far as they can go. Well respected and would seem like a good fit to me tbh...

 

[J.spurs]

We should have, but do we? Often it seems the cups get sacrificed because our Team B isnt up to it.

Yeah, I guess I'm saying that even without breaking the bank we have the money to put together a squad that can compete on multiple fronts with some wise recruiting.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

Well, you would hope so. But if you think about all the money we have spent in the last four years and what we've got for it....

 

[ClemFandango]

Rumours that Donna Cullen is “pushing hard” to appoint Brendan Rodgers .. ugh

Although if we do that, we could always start the season terribly and appoint Nagelsmann in October .. just like last time

 

[J.spurs]

I don’t think Rodgers would work out. Decent manager IMO, but if you’re looking for the “next Poch,” as they are supposedly doing, why would you appoint him?

 

[ClemFandango]

No, I don't think he would work out either. I think he's got a decent philosophy on how he wants the game to be played but I think he's another one who's reputation has been artificially enhanced by success in Scotland.

 

[J.spurs]

Apparently we’re getting close to whatever the time span was between sacking Mourinho and hiring Nuno. And even some of the journos who are supposedly close to the club have been pretty honest that they have no idea who we’re going to go after now. Years ago, maybe Levy would’ve gotten the benefit of the doubt—people would’ve been saying he needed time to get the decision right—but not now. This is looking like a true fiasco now more than ever.

 

[ClemFandango]

I read it was 71 days between sacking Mourinho and hiring Nuno and I think we're about 52-53 days in so far, so only another 3 weeks before we pass that "milestone".

The most ridiculous thing I read earlier on is that we're apparently down to a shortlist of 3 for a new DoF but that one of them is "Unnamed".

And what makes this situation even more farcical, if you believe the rumour, is that we're supposed to have known in January that Conte wasn't going to be signing a new deal.

 

[Yid]

Let's state some facts in order to maybe answer the question of who would want this job...

• THFC's team Captain is leaving.
• THFC's star player and club captain is stalling on a new contract (fact) and is widely expected to leave in the summer (currently, speculation).
• THFC have not backed the last 4 managers in the transfer market.
• THFC do not currently have a DOF or anyone organising transfers outside of the direct control of Levy
• The THFC squad is unbalanced because of that lack of investment and requires new blood throughout, just to start competing with mid table clubs again.
• European football is more than likely not going to happen (I conceed, not a fact yet).
• THFC back room set up is not working from coaching through to player development.
• Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool will out-spend, outbid and out-pay THFC, for valued players.

Feel free to add more facts to the list if I have forgotten any...

If I was an established manager I wouldn't touch this club, with Levy at the helm, with a fucking barge pole...

If I was an up and coming manager I wouldn't touch this club, with Levy at the helm, with a fucking barge pole...

That leaves us with journeymen and never have beens...

Enjoy the ride Yido's because until the deranged pipsqueek is relinquished of control (he has stated that any sale of the club will have to agree to him remaining as chairman indefinitely),this is the scenario we will find oursleves in.

I think we've peaked... I think we're heading back to mid table fodder with a decent domestic cup run once every few years...

We can't compete with the clubs at the top (or we can but we wont),and that's OK because it still meets the business model for profit...

As long as the pints are still being poured from the bottom in large enough numbers, as long as sports tourists keep filling the club shop to buy half and half scarves, as long as you can click online to buy a novelty spurs gnome or other landfill for the far away supporter who still carries a glimmering light for a creature that has been crushed by a mega-corp, this is what we are going to get.

The Spurs fan, and dare I say it the Yid is becoming extinct. We've been pushed out by the club that we care for and replaced with shiney new customers who's pockets gingle as they enter the venue.

It seems futile to write Levy Out because its never going to happen... not until he fucking dies.

My apathy is complete.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

I've been ENIC out for over a decade, the arguments I've had over it. I wonder how those who defended them feel now
