Spurs

[dockers_strike]

Stevie being linked with the Spurs job if early reports are to be believed.

[Redder Lurtz]

Steve's going to get linked with every job going but why would he want to go to Spurs?  

[Babb'sBurstNad]

They'll end up with Eddie Howe.

[suzy]

Poor old Nuno, he did well with Wolves. Ironic that we didn’t get Ole sacked but they have got Nuno sacked! Funny old game.

[El Rojo]

Completely broken club at this stage, even Arsenal are beginning to look vaguely functional next to them. 

 

Won't happen, because why would he, but Simeone is exactly what they need. 

[Pidge]

I think they want someone who'd get them playing attractive football. Simeone would just be another Mourinho for them.

"They" being the fans? The squad? The club as a whole?

 

Simeone is about a thousand times a better manager than any of the attractive football types they might be able to get to the club but he would probably just end up battering Levy and leaving after a few months.

You're probably right, although he'd do much better than the Mourinho of recent years. 

 

Advanced talks with Conte apparently. Surprising that he'd go there, but hilarious too that one of the picks of the bunch would be out of the reckoning for the Man United job.

I know I’ve said it before but Spurs could do so much worse than bringing Graham Potter in.

[Bjornebye]

I hope they get Conte. He isn't turning them into title challengers, it won't last anyway plus it stops him going to United. 

[angie]

Didn’t Spurs reject conte in the summer because they realised he had ambition and they couldn’t be doing with that there. Now they’re going back to him and it won’t be long until there’s a massive fall out.

I agree, he is. He's ambitious and would probably see it as another test of himself. Id rather he went to Spurs than newcastle.

He would eventually, can't see Skipp and Winks being a great defensive screen for them, mind. Don't think Simeone has any desire to manage in England, mind you. Even if he did he would be at loggerheads with the media from day one.

The fans and Levy, I think. The style seems to be the sticking point as, after all, he is only just out of the European spaces with a decent run of games coming up.

I do wonder how much those first few wins might have flattered them a bit. Essentially, I don't think the sacking is quite as harsh as it seems.

 

Levy and Kane have fucked them. The former seemingly didn't have a plan beyond "He stays unless arbitrary figure is met" and the latter has clearly chucked his toys out of the pram because he didn't get his way in the summer.

They're about to get Conte, and they had Mourinho and Nuno before that. You might not get 3 uglier managers than that. Surely the people inside the club don't care about style if that's who they go for. 

 

Nuno was sacked because he clearly wasn't good enough and was initially their 3rd choice. They could barely create a couple chances per game.

I genuinely believe Kane's legs have gone. He is like Torres. Obviously he would score in a team like City with all the chances they create but he can't even get space these days. Levy should definitely have cashed in

[TheHowieLama]

Simeone is a fucking legend in Madrid - leave that to come to England? To manage Spurs??

Right, but these things take time, probably as much a matter of Levy not really wanting him in the first place. 

 

Conte is negative as well, yes. Must be expecting a big January if he joins.

Son has wasted his career at Spurs - probably a couple of years too old to get a move to a big club at this stage.

Yeah, I think the time to get rid was in the summer.

He is on record as saying he has always wanted to manage Harry Winks and play in the UEFA Conference League.

Levy ruled him out initially because he was going to demand too much in salary and in transfer market.

Being the shrewd businessman he is it will now cost them even more money.

Exactly this. Spurs will always, always find a way to fuck up anything good which comes their way. 
 

However, any hope United have of quickly jettisoning Rice Krispy for a credible football manager just plummeted.

[TheHowieLama]

Spurs debt is almost as much as the club would be worth innit?
