    Our season is an utter fudging disaster mate, even if we win EL (and yes, I know that will be controversial). We are going to need to hit a huge reset this summer and the accountability may need to go beyond the manager (as I've stated elsewhere). Our failures this season will probably set us...

    Ange in or out?

    There will be, it's the same as United will take years to recover from OGS (they drifted for 3+ years) It's why I wanted Ange out, even if it meant Mason/some interim for 15 games, it sent a message of accountability.

    I'd argue if they don't win something this year, it's a failure of process/strategy. This was their season, City, Chelsea, us & Saudi Sportswashing Machine out of frame, Liverpool having a manager transition. - 5 years & ~$800M+ on a manager that has won nothing in any of the full seasons he's been in charge...

    Ange in or out?

    - He's had a system that has worked for 29 years at every level below this - Previous setbacks/hiccups have been resolved by doubling down on said system - System does not work at PL level So at one level - He believes it will work. it's just injuries/luck/getting players aligned/whatever But...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v LiVARpool - Sunday April 27th 4.30pm

    But my point is, if there was no reasonable candidate lined up at Xmas, that in itself is a reflection/judgement on Munn (and others), unless, unless there is a candidate who has agreed (or is far enough down the road) for summer (if not, see point about reflection/judgement) No doubt re...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v LiVARpool - Sunday April 27th 4.30pm

    This, it was so obvious what would play out. it just wasn't worth the pain, first game for me as well that I have skipped 100% in years.

    I think your are mixing up a few things - Just spending money with ambition - Bad/poor decisions with lack of ambition or nous (easy example, Ange is a mistake, hiring an attacking coach who had won trophies and backing him financially is not lack of ambition) - More importantly where does this...

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

    Lack of variety, emphasis on players doing exactly the orders, focus on athlete's, lack of specialization (yes, aware a little paradox statement), not sure it improves the game. The question becomes does it limit the room for the truly mercurial types and is that a good thing?

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

    Possession became a thing because of Pep (not solely but heavily influenced), similar to play out of the back. It's been an era where one of the overarching goal of most systems at top level was to gain/keep possession. Hence a lot of people put a lot of emphasis on it. Interestingly there is...

    Ange in or out?

    I think he's tried to be more pragmatic, but simply lacks a a genuine plan B, a way to switch the system to. I also think while he hasn't lost the dressing room in the classic sense, the players are lost, their belief/confidence and maybe more importantly their motivation to give everything to...

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

    Ahhh .. got you, misunderstood Personally, not interested in Frank (really not a fan of his style of football), Iriola, Silva, Glasner or even someone from elsewhere I'm ok with (prefer top 5 league with European football experience) I'd give you a challenge, there has been a common thought...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v LiVARpool - Sunday April 27th 4.30pm

    No chance mate, 24 years of decisions will say Levy makes decisive calls, managers imploding or not, no one has been given the leeway of 19 losses. The only thing that has changed is we have a football structure now between Levy and the manager (Munn), the only reasonable answer is Munn took...

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

    ? We should have the next manager already lined up, anything else is criminal negligence at all levels We should also have a fair view of who we push on, vs. keep at this stage - Pretty clear Richi is broken, pretty clear Romero wants to move on, players like Bissouma, Bentancur, Son &...

    Let me start with, do I believe Spurs should have won more under current ownership in last 20 years? yes. However what you painted above is too simplistic a view, lacks nuance and misses out stuff - Clubs successful periods are cyclic in nature, years/decades of success, followed by...

    After a max number of sold on games, you should simply not get loyalty points. There are time/scenarios where someone may take a job or have a personal change that means they may for a year or two not be able to attend as regularly and they want to retain the season ticket, fine, but the reward...

    Ange in or out?

    AI view Under Scott Parker, Burnley's playing style has been characterized by a strong defensive foundation and a pragmatic approach. The team has excelled in maintaining a solid backline, conceding very few goals throughout their campaign. This defensive discipline has been a cornerstone of...

    I'm stating a fact, not passing judgement .. Burnley's turnaround is absolutely an achievement
