    Looks like Dier is off to Monaco next season. Pleased for him.

    Me thinks you're guessing as much as the next person. To be fair you do write the word "assume". Levy - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/GmEJorViWZCgqpF5O40rge5g1ZA/appointments 20 appointments Collecott -...

    We've had Jose, Nuno, Conte and now Ange and every time we have done a reset. Every time we have haemorrhaged considerable amounts building a new squad. We've flip-flopped between different football philosophies and paid a heavy price. This is why we must now transition seamlessly from Ange...

    Ange in or out?

    Yeah, I also think that we used to think of midfield maestros in the middle of the park. Now that is where the workhorses are. The maestros either play 10 or tuck themselves into the left of right channel. I could imagine Gazza or Hoddle coming along nowadays and we'd hardly seem them in centre...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    I guess this season we look at it differently as we're not in the mix in the league. Normally we're hoping that the top 4 team win the cups so there are more EL/ECL places based on league finish. We also want top 4 to have more end of season games so they mess up in the league. Now we have 5...

    The John Henry / Fenway Sports Group is actually a great story. I can't do anything but admire what a farmer's son Henry has achieved in his lifetime. Football people are snobbish in that they believe you have to be a sports person to work in football. Henry has proven that running winning clubs...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    Not for me. A high league finish trumps coming second in a domestic cup. I will be supporting Palace in the final though. I hope they get EL for that reason.

    Ange in or out?

    It's a great post. Having conceded 62 goals last season, I was adamant that if Ange could shave 15-20 goals off that and still play front foot football then we'd call that progress. We've conceded 54 from 34 games so the best we can hope for is flat season on season. With the same squad plus...

    I'm not intimate with the Arsenal squad but I'm guessing they are at the point where they have depth in most positions so spending £100m on a single player makes sense if they have the PSR runway. They are well run so probably do, even though they've ramped up the debt in recent years. Then you...

    I made the observation early season how our team has pace but only uses it to sprint backwards. Johnson is the same. When do we ever see him in a foot race with the ball in front of him?

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Personally, I'd still like the club to explain more about all the roles at the club. We are supposed to have a commercial side and a football operations side and I still wonder whether he has oversight on both. That would mean the chief football officer role (Munn) reports into him and every one...

    Ange in or out?

    I don't think this is just your opinion. It is shared by many. What is interesting is that Ange's temperament has come under a lot of scrutiny this season, much more than last. I genuinely felt at the beginning that he had a decent temperament for a very difficult Spurs job. More than Jose and...

    Better squads are City, Pool and Arsenal. I don't see any other better squads. We are easily on a par with the others.

    I think the John Henry Pool story is a good one actually. Very experienced exec of clubs like Red Sox and brought all that expertise to the PL environment. Built out an extensive and competent leadership group to get behind Klopp. They even started with a transatlantic exec whose job was to...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    That is true. I think what is also true is that if the game was officiated to the laws, we'd see way more entertainment. Imagine that famous Maradona goal happening against Pep's City nowadays. He picks up the ball on the half way line and 1 second later he is tripped, or petty fouled whilst...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    I'm wondering whether it is also important for Spurs to find a manager who has a backroom staff that joins with him. Part of the problem with Ange was that he had to impart to his new coaches how he wanted to play the game before they could impart it onto the players. Perhaps they didn't quite...

    I agree with this. I'm hoping we are that club now. Match day revenues, NFL, F1 karting, pop concerts, business conventions etc all add up to the new formula that we should be that club that don't go into crisis just because we spent £60m on Tanguy and it didn't work out. Saying that, I'd be...

    Ange in or out?

    I want to be clear though. Ange hasn't helped himself in all of his many public appearances. Perhaps I was one of the first posters to call him out on his persona in front of the cameras. He has talked down at the journo's and fans from day 1 and acts like he is the messiah and as if none of us...

    Ange will also come up with a new narrative every week. He has a black book of narratives to avoid the tough questions. Clever man.
