***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

Vinai & Lange conducted the managerial search in the summer, both were front and centre with all the press regarding the appointment, talking up the process wrt finding the right man.

Lange was promoted to DoF after Levy had been let go.

The idea that the CEO cant step up and in is laughable also.....if you think Jan is going badly and you spot things younact, you dont just say "well its noy my role, I am staying out of it". By default its always your role too.

Same as was the case with Levy, buck stops at the top

I know you know this, but it's what they do, it's what they're paid to do. They don't know brick. Gary Neville got sacked after what, 4 months, of coaching Valencia? Their blabber club is just "content" (filler) for people to rest their eyes on because there's nothing else to look at. "Oh, football related, must be good" - no, it's not. Look at your carpet for a better experience for your eyes and mind. Every time I spend five minutes watching The Overlap or similar, I just feel fooled. "Why am I watching this?" - and I go see some Youtube videos on Tool or something instead, and feel a lot better. The pundits are completely and utterly pointless - we just like getting riled up, for some reason - and they're good at doing that, unfortunately.

Amen to that.

Love how we adopted the “Tottenham away ole ole” chant. Has to be a mainstay next season when we stay up for away games.

He has to be judged, especially if the talk around is remotely true.

- I have no issue with the Frank appointment (as bad and as obvious I thought it was), the issues was sticking with him
- It's very similar to the January decision in that way.

As an executive at this level you make calls, it's always risk/reward, you get paid to make unpopular decisions,

- Reality is he was wrong (even if it was under advice) both times, so badly, it's been catastrophic.
- If the rumours of one of the nepo babies is who stepped in both for Frank out, and to insist on RDZ, he's a dead man walking.

I just think it's a combination or all of the following for Vinai and John:

- they were trying to copy Arsenal's story and viewed Frank as the "next Arteta". He's here for the long term and there's nothing wrong with the negative football despite short term setbacks in our results.
- they were holding to the same old you can't build anything without continuity, results will eventually come flimflam. That also aligns with how Arsenal were being patient with Arteta in his early years.
- they were behind Frank's appointment and letting him go that early would reflect really badly on their judgment.

And no, don't ask me for any proof.

I don’t want our CEO making football decisions. I want him leaving those to person at the club who’s role it is to do so.

The CEO making football decisions is why you end up with Santini instead of Jol or sacking Poch to bring in Mourinho.

If Lange is still DoF after this summer I’ll start to get concerned.

So you also dont wanna see a CEO to act when there are signs of performance distress or negligence within the ranks? I find that a really odd take TBH.
