    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don't think anyone's been impressed with the way the club's run this season. But I also think everybody's way past the point of talking about a Top 6 or long-term strategic planning. We've been circling down the drain for quite some time now. If we stay up, we can always hope for a better (or...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don't know why people are so upset about the contract length. Nobody thinks he'll be there in 2031 - it's all about the next seven games. If he keeps us up and, as a bonus, gets us to a respectable mid-table position when he (inevitably) implodes, it will be money well-spent. If he doesn't, he...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    There were rumours that they were willing to break the wage structure to make us more competitive - if we survive this horrible season. The contract length is meaningless - it just means more money for him when he does get the sack. Whatever we pay him, it will be less than the money we're...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    I've been thinking about this a lot for various reasons, one of them being a friend of mine who's a professional politician flirted with the idea of joining/making a deal with a far-right party. When the idea was up in the air, I wondered what I'd do if he pulled the trigger. If people went up...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Since this is no longer about football, I'm taking this opportunity to ask a question that genuinely intrigues me: if you don't want De Zerbi at the club for moral reasons - which is fair enough - do you apply the same standards to writers and musicians, for instance? I should add that I have...

    For that to happen, though, you need to stick with the manager through the tough times. If you changer managers every 18-month or so, nobody will ever bring us an inch closer to having a clear identity on the pitch. As luck would have it, the only time the board actually back the manager... I...

    Didn't Slot and/or Ten Hag have an interview with us? Not sure I agree with @Mikey10's statement though. The manager can be a problem, but there are plenty of quality managers out there who'd be happy to join us IF we had a clear direction as a club. We offer a lot of money which in itself is...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    It's quite incredible that pretty much everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong this season. If you put yourself in Tudor's shoes and someone asked you to make an (quite) important decision when you just lost a loved one, you'd feel they're being unfair. But, unfortunately, our...

    If they want to make a change, they'd better do it fast. We have some time before the next game; the longer the new manager gets to prepare the team for Sunderland, the better.

    To be fair, a few people were calling for VDV to be played at left back. Also, when you have a player that is low on confidence, it might be a good idea to stick him into a winning side and... I wouldn't say a lot of people expected us to beat Forest, but we were certainly more optimistic than...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur Football Club v Nottingham Forest***

    This one is a real kick in the teeth after two good performances and results. Refereeing didn't help either - again. Don't know what to say, except that we can't let our heads drop. Being pessimistic won't protect us if the worst happen. We have to keep the faith. The situation is dire but it's...

    Rest assured that once he's come and gone, it will be Ange. 'Only manager to win something for us in a decade', etc.

    As is so often the case, it's probably a mix of different things, although we will never know for sure. If anything, Frank's failure and this season's results show the quality of Brentford's set up. I remember reading an in-depth feature about it a few years ago. Apparently, it's based on FC...

    Igor the Departed

    We even had a few good results at first but nobody could ever tell what the project was. We weren't outrunning the opposition. We didn't keep the ball well but we weren't a good counter-attacking team either. We weren't that good at crossing. We couldn't pass the ball. Then he lost control of...

    Frank is a very special in that he's the first Spurs manager in a long, long time whose profesionalism and ability look questionable. Some of the others you liked, disliked, some lost control of the situation or were just plain wrong but at least, you could see what they were trying to achieve...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid ***

    I agree with @Robspur12 that it's too early to get carried away but still, credit where it's due: a) second good performance in a row and b) let's face it, we've been a laughing stock ever since Tudor arrived. If we slag off the players when they let their heads down, we also have to tip their...

    Micky van de Ven

    There's a reason why we were able to sign him in the first place: he's got a very specific set of characteristics that made him well-suited for Angeball (until he got injured at least). It would make sense for a team like Barcelona to sign him. He might even do well there, if they continue to...

    One of the positives from yesterday is that Tudor admitted he simplified things. It's not necessarily good news in the long run because you'd expect professionals to be able to use his system but credit to him to be willing to do what it takes to get results, despite not having his assistant...
