    :-), got it. Maybe just a few key ones?

    Ah yes, re: Danso I am thinking back and you're right. I suppose you'd still have to give him credit for at least being alive to the right gazumping if you know what I mean! I think it's going to be tough to fully evaluate his contributions based on the age of player he works best in profiling...

    Got it. Just for the record, it was wrong to detail Lange as being part of VdV ;) ;) Agreed on the second point, they were in the right area and in fairness did the right thing in backing that manager's personal choice, so positive on both counts. However, the manager/head coach will always...

    I think the biggest doubt there is the 'electoral support' thing. Sadly, it feels like instead, the usual agents of misfortune are taking advantage of an increasingly impoverished and downtrodden society by throwing up the usual screens and bafflers as 'the reasons' rather than the fattening of...

    I'll be more specific. The committee wanted Tapsoba. Ange wanted VdV, despite the relative inexperience. His preference was backed. Whether you believe what I'm saying in this specific incident is obviously yours to decide mate. BTW, we signed VdV in August 2023 and Lange joined us in November...

    ...it feels a lifetime ago that all that was going down. I often wonder if people who voted for Brexit now feel they actually got what they wanted? Has it all been what they thought it would be?

    American politics

    Observer just following this discussion (and finding it hard not to involve LOL)...could I suggest you actually define what current political ideas feel 'to the left' for you (again in 2026 context)?

    As I said to Billy just now, I heard at the time from a very well-placed source as to why Postecoglu wanted him specifically.Yes, Tapsoba was the better known and 'rated' option. VdV was not proven.

    I can say unequivocally that Ange pushed for VdV as he was both rapid and left-footed. He was insistent on the left-footed angle. I heard directly from a source at the time. He was backed (obviously).

    BTW, I love that he keeps speaking out AND think the club have to show some cajoles/structure and fine him, as otherwise they are absolutely allowing an inmate to run the asylum (which whether you like the message or not is not healthy)...

    He'll be leaving Tottenham in June for the US and World Cup. I think we'll struggle to keep him if I'm honest...I also do begin to wonder exactly what happened at HT last weekend. Illness? He was apparently ill in Frankfurt? doesn't look 'at the door' here, albeit I wouldn't argue that I am...

    If Phillips is ever going to get a chance to show he has something, it would be in a Frank-Spurs where speed is not of the essence. I think as a pure defender he's pretty decent. Dorrington is another. Of course neither are where we should be aiming, but I agree they're decent enough to be...

    The 'committee' wanted Tapsoba in that window. It was Postecoglu who insisted on VDV. Danso was an excellent pick-up I must say, one I certainly never saw coming (his freak injury is a big big loss for us right now).

    Transfer thread

    I am unsurprised and feel sorry for Frank. We whiffed at the chance to get Semenyo in the early summer, and between MGW and Robertson, we seem to be getting stuck in 'transfers' which then fall apart for 'intangible' reasons. I think the biggest 'crime' of this window happened in Oct/Nov with...

    That's probably about right. Folks like me do put stock in communication (probably a little more than is necessary) AND I agree, they appear to have gone about it in this ham-fisted "chatGPT" fashion. The art of communication is timing as much as anything; saying the right things at the right...

    So, what happened today?

    What an incredible story. That lad is beyond superhuman in many ways. In fairness, the family have pulled a blinder being able to stay alive 9 miles from shore too. Madness. All of it. WHAT a hero!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Debates about his style and suitability will continue on and on, but I think one thing perhaps we can all agree on is that he has been left in an appalling limbo by Lange and VV. For weeks this guy has been 'one game away' from the boot, has not seen any external public support save a very...
