    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach The abuse of Sherwood started BEFORE he even took charge of a single game! Please let's not pretend that all this stemmed from what's happened since, because that's easily falsifiable by simply clicking to the front of this thread. Our new manager made a bit of...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach What's also funny is that our coach has been 1st or 2nd best in the PL in the last month and isn't going to get a single word of praise for it from the majority on this board. In fact, it'll be another cause for abusing him. Now that's funny.

    Next Spurs Manager v.2

    I'm surprised Kluivert has turned himself into leadership/coaching material. He managed the end of his own career rather hideously, and showed a lot of immaturity over the years. I guess maybe he's grown up and got his sh1t together. In which case, fair play and good luck to the guy, I just...

    Next Spurs Manager v.2

    I totally agree, which is why picking a manager in between the ideal candidate and Sherwood is such a mistake. Ideal candidate = multi-season project we can all buy into. Money, faith, hope, trust. Balls to the wall support. Sherwood = 12 month contact with the hope it'll go well, but...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach a. Sherwood clearly doesn't rate Townsend at the moment b. Nor do most people on this forum c. And rightly so, because he's been pants a lot d. And Townsend was never, ever going to make the WC anyway e. But the lad will still be upset f. So Tim is saying...

    Next Spurs Manager v.2

    The only things I've ever argued are predictive - in the loser definition - are a combination of CV, experience and intangibles/x-factor. Are you telling me that's unreasonable? Because I have no idea how else you judge a potential hire otherwise. Throw the 7 or 8 or 10 variables out there...

    Next Spurs Manager v.2

    Nothing is predictive of the success of a manager. Neither an immaculate CV at one end of the scale, nor some intangible notion of an x-factor at the other. You throw it all into the meat grinder and try to judge whether the sausages at the other end will be tasty. When I throw de Boer's meat...

    Next Spurs Manager v.2

    X-Factor is born of other factors. It's the sum of the parts, if it's there at all. FdB - Current Head Coach of Ajax - 500 games Barca/Ajax as player (6 league titles) - 112 Holland caps - 3 years Ajax youth coach - 2 years Holland asst./RU WC 2010 - 4 years Ajax manager - 4 titles won...

    Champions League thread 2013/14

    Ok, thanks. Very, very hard to judge these things isn't it? Sometimes a coach just kinda walks into a perfect storm of good luck. In fact, I'd say that's probably a more common explanation for a sudden uptick in a team's performance than a coach suddenly emerging as a genius. (No judgement on...

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach Scara, that is farcical and you know it. Do you give the guy money knowing the next coach mightn't want any of the new players? Do you get the coach's whole support staff in? Do you let him get rid of players from our squad he doesn't want? When this guy signs...

    How good were AM before Simeone came along? Has he totally transformed them? And are these players home grown at the club or purchases?

    Re: Northumberland Development Project Thanks Steve, looks quite a significant difference. Closer the pitch than anyone and steeper banking.

    Paulinho

    Re: Official - Paulinho I don't really believe that story. Doesn't really add up. He doesn't seem a particularly Jose player, and it's hard to believe anyone has been so impressed by him this season that they'd actually splodge almost doubt what we paid and be gagging to get the deal done asap...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Re: Northumberland Development Project That's a relief. Two quick q's. 1. Do we know the capacity for the south end Kop? I believe the Südtribüne at Dortmund is about 12,000 when configured for seating. 2. How much steeper/closer the pitch are the stands at new WHL is v. the Emirates...

    No, the point is neither of them has any X-factor. None. Zero. FdB does. That's why I never mentioned this when discussing P v S - the question only arises when you have a proper big name. It's not a relevant point in a P v S discussion. I've said over and over and over again in these...

    Hamburg are a mighty club lying 16th in the Bundesliga. Why not go there and grind them up to 2 top 10 finishes in a row? Get a buzz going at the place, get the fans positive about their club again, and see if there might be some money to push on for a European place in your 3rd year. Restore...
