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

    You might be right re direction specifically - Not sure if it's just me, but the noise re Iriola seems to have cooled just a little (intensity model too close to Ange?) Re the players, I think we have a team that can play most systems, from 3 atb to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, have fairly flexible FB's...

    Ange in or out?

    Bingo! You want Romero coming out to shut down attacks, not running backwards trying to catch someone You want Son running into space with option to turn inside to shoot, not constantly asking him to operate in overcrowded wing spaces. You want Solanke to be a poacher (his heatmap last year was...

    First option is more likely, nothing unusual, company has outgrown the one guy doing many hats era. I also think it's having a slightly bigger working group to make key decisions on, e.g. manager. Still some question re Munn and the noise re Paratici as well

    Guglielmo Vicario

    He was actually 2nd worse keeper in PL re errors directly leading to goals (3, worse was 5) last season (Vic had zero as comparison). This season he has a good save percentage but so does Sanchez at Chelsea, and in the saves against expected goals, Vic is better than him. Edit .. they have made...

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

    Never said that mate, what I did say is - Ultimately he now has the title of all things football - We have deviated from norm (any other manager in Levy's tenure would have been out in Oct) - Us sticking with Ange, had to have been supported by Munn (if not directly proposed) ^^^ none of that...

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

    It's not the one decision - it's the decision to stick with the decision. - This is very normal, you create a plan, you have a check in, goals/kpi's are red, you present a view of why - Ultimately, the answer in those meetings is some variation of continue, stop, change, etc. - In this case we...

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

    Purely speculation on my part, but my experience in bigger companies than Spurs says - Munn is part of team that had input on Ange - Munn is ultimately responsible for football operations - Levy hasn't suddenly decided not to give a fudge about results - There was likely one if not more "review"...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Aresenal fan perspective on reddit -> Arsenal fan here. He was ceo during covid up to last year. Everything has improved at the club; commercial opportunities have increased, club finances are healthy, on field performance speaks for itself. Even fan engagement has drastically improved. He's a...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Raya is garbage, go look at any review of Arsenal's issues and his name comes up, GK is a priority signing for them in summer Spurs fans are falling for narrative here, I had to listen to the American commentary on the game, and they couldn't shut up about how Vicario is a problem for Spurs...

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

    The next manager won't, because backing Ange showed everyone that giving a manager who is poor, or in an extended death spiral changes nothing. Hindsight says, Nov/Dec would have been par for course and the right decision. My expectation is Ange goes, highly likely Munn goes with him, new...

    Ange in or out?

    It's Bielsa Mk2 - Tore up the championship with Leeds - Surprised everyone in initial spell in PL - Got found out and destroyed His system has hit a ceiling, the specific issue is at this level, if you give up 4 high quality chances in a game, you get punished, at lower levels, teams may not...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    While that is true (I've commented on it before), and no one falls for the false narrative more than Spurs fans, it's a very big difference between - Your club spending 16 years between 6th - 3rd places, getting to multiple cup semi finals and finals, with players like Modric, Bale, Kane, Son...

    Ange in or out?

    Copium mate, if we don't win by 2+ goals today we are fudged. He should have been gone in Dec, buy hey, he might win the League Cup, ok, but hey we might win the FA cup, ok, but hey we might win the Europa League ??? and it will be hey, we lost the first leg but we will win an away leg in...

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

    Football is 80's style .. Frank gets results but it's fudging route one stuff, classic works well enough against the chaff in the league, fails against anything above Brentford wins - Palace (x2), Southampton (x2), Wolves, Ipswich, Bournemouth (x2), Leicester (x2), Saudi Sportswashing Machine, West Ham...

    Ange in or out?

    Super difficult, this is pressure/burn out, it happens in high profile jobs. Really hard to pull someone back once they hit this mental stage, often a job (and company) change is required to reset. Ange is here now, Conte hit the same place, even Poch (not to derail but this one of the pieces...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt

    Mate, Leicester turned us over .. European matches are notoriously difficult, on our form it's literally delusion to believe we are going to win a 2 leg tie. Yes, it's football, but I for one will be absolutely shocked if we made it past them.
