Ian Cathro

[JerusalemMan]

It's not a huge surprise that Ian has been appointed as part of Nuno's staff but, as with Sacramento before him, it is at least an interesting choice to have a young mind alongside our head coach.

I liked this interview as I vaguely remembered his brief stint at Hearts and how it was remarkable for such a young fellow to have been given the job.

All to be seen how this works out on the training pitch but I approve of some of what he is saying here.

Well, in line with going the "modern" approach

 

[P.D.]

Never heard of him till just now but I like the interview. Has a lot of experience for someone so young.

In his early twenties, he would run up debt on his credit card to visit Porto regularly and watch former Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas in action on the training pitches.

Slightly concerned that @Baleforce, who has the same qualification, may end up on the coaching staff too.

Let the goalfests begin

Rumour has it @Baleforce wooed his partner with a PowerPoint presentation, showing where he would press, whilst defending the block, and penetrate on both sides.

Spurs DNA ? Certainly fits the budget !

Keynote actually.

And there was no penetration, 7 at the back and 2 holding midfielders. Lamela does the rest.

Didn't mean for you to have to do that! It was quite funny. I've put my quote of your post in a spoiler so it's still there if anyone wants to click on it.

To try and steer this thread back, here's another article.
It's great to read but we know that such fulsome praise and promising history is far from a guarantee of great things manifesting within our set-up. But, again, reading this sort of thing brings hope.
Even, perhaps Boyd's bit at the end which may indicate that Cathro could be willing to settle for a longer stint coaching at a bigger club to properly prepare himself for management, if he still holds that ambition (which I expect he does)
