Why is he an idiot.

 

For sanctioning the spending they did this summer, and his record appointing managers is woeful

 

Rumours alight now that he's been sacked

Redknapp did well for them. Jol took them to fifth. AVB for some reason has a huge reputation but has now failed at Chelsea and Spurs. You can't blame levy! he's backed his man to the tune of £100m. His manger hasn't lived up to his billing.

This is a big game for our top 6 challenge, we really need to get back onto the winning train asap. Can't see past a home win but it will be close. Saints to win 2-1.

 

I find it impossible to drop Davis after his recent performances so my team would be

 

Gazza,

Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw,

Morgan, Cork,

Davis, Lallana, Jay Rod,

Osvaldo.

 

Up the saints!

That some reason would probably be winning the league\cup & European cup in 1 season with Porto, he had a 85% win record with them... incredible.

 

He had a 47% win ratio with Chelsea and has a 55% win ratio with Spurs, he has the potential to be a top top coach.

Although their net spend this season is less that £5m

Quite. Which is all credit to Levy for not going mad and spending money they don't have. Not really quite sure why people are having a go at him for sanctioning the spending. They didn't go mad and he back his manager. I don't really see what more people want from a chairman.

Seldom though do ambitious chief execs, or chairman allow a manager or coach the time to fulfil that potential though do they ?

That would suggest there's a replacement waiting in the wings?

 

Someone who knows the club probably. Jol/Hoddle & George Graham all immediately available.

As are Gerry Francis and David Pleat. My choices if I was a spurs fan.

There's a man who might claim to have unfinished business around the streets of North London.

 

Or perhaps Avram Grunt, probably a perfect fit for spurs.

Which would mean NC is not to blame for some signings we've made that haven't worked out.

Pleat has more kerb appeal.

Can't decide whether this is gonna be a good time or a bad time to play Spurs!

 

I'm all strangley kinda "meh" about the season at the moment. The injuries have put us in our place regarding depth of squad, we now have to concentrate on clawing our way back. Right now it's a game to game sort of feeling and waiting to get a stronger team out. It's great seeing our youngsters come up and seize the day, but it's still a bit of a lull for me in a way that seems unfair to the valiant efforts of the team.

 

What the hell. Let's stick it up 'em! They don't like it up 'em! :D

A few more injuries and a sending off v West Ham would not go amiss on Wednesday, good if they turn up battered and bruised on Sunday, please fat Sam.

 

All I want for Xmas is 6 points, COYRS!!!

Their away form is better than at home - WWLDW and LDLWL respectively and that away draw was at Goodison.

 

Their 5 away wins have been Sunderland, Fulham, Villa, Cardiff, and Palace. The only other 'big' team they've played away so far has been the Arse, which they lost.

I think that at present the two teams are pretty much on a par and we should make home advantage count.

I've heard from a few spurs fans that avb has gone.

wishful thinking more likely than not, can't see them sacking him this side of Jan 1...too many games before then.

Very hard to hold onto a player who wants out and is refusing to train, while someone is waving £80m at you

 

Agree its a crazy decision to fire AVB though

Cue improved performance at the weekend. Damnation

 

don't see why, they still have the same problem areas at the back, they've definitely lost Paulinho and no doubt Sandro so barring some miracle from Lamela I can't see much room for improvement in the short term. They were playing well but not scoring enough, bit like us really. Playing Capoue at CB is a stupid thing to do though, he's not that great in CM but a CB he's a disaster waiting to happen. Chichires, Vertonghen and Kaboul must be injured I suppose.

Seems to me that AVB struggled at both Chelsea and Spurs to gain the respect of his players and lacked authority as a result. I suspect his relative youth played a part in that but his personality always came across as rather aloof too.

 

However that said I think the players themselves were pretty disgraceful at Chelsea in particular in undermining the chap.

Difficult to see them losing consecutive home games even if they have lost their manager...despite their problems they still have some quality players who can hurt us

 

Their next game is away... :)

Still think it's a strange decision, Liverpool were unplayable yesterday, incredibly quick and incisive, shows just how much that old carthorse Gerrard slows them down. They'd have handed out a drubbing to anyone on yesterday's form.

Home to Wet sham in the league cup this Wednesday.

 

The post I commented on was referring to their next league game but I'll give you a point anyway :)
