That's not a bad shout at all actually.

I wonder if they might be the first club to take a serious look at Pochetinno as well.

I get the impression that both managers would bring something close to the vision that I think the Spurs board have of the football they want to play.


I was thinking of Pochettino as well actually. Argentinian as well, might be able to get their record signing playing.

On the subject of Pochettino, can he actually speak English now? Surely he can't be using a translator still for team talks etc.

There will be an 'interim' coach until Klinnsman is available after World Cup


Why would he be available?

Signed a new contract 3 days ago to take it through to Russia 2018.

I think the Klinssman is meant to be loving California isn't he? Remember him being criticised for managing Germany whilst living there. Heard today that he (and Capello) are meant to be extending their national team deals. No way Capello is leaving his current massive contract.

Can't see Spurs going for an interim, I don't think they're ready to give up the season. Only 5 points of fourth.

Why do people keep saying AVB set Spurs' record points tally. It is a complete meaningless statistic. It's high because only Man Utd had a really good season, and their were two really bad sides at the bottom. And I would say a poorer than average mid-table.

Amazing if Laudrup gets a big job in the same week Clarke gets sacked. Shows how daft football can be. Laudrup has taken 3 more points than Clarke in the past season and a half. Talk of Pochettino is bizzare, he has been at Southampton less than a year and hasn't even done anything yet.

Anyway if Spurs want a manager who can work besides a director of football, has European experience, can mould a squad of technichal foreigners into a cohesive team and mount a challenge for the top of the Premier League. There is only really one manager that Spurs can turn to;

And a Newcastle fan should know how the Europa League disrupts your league for, especially for clubs like Newcastle & Swansea.

Yeah, Swansea kinda gave up when the qualified for the final and were stuck in mid-table. Their points tally this year is a bit misleading

I hate that excuse - footballers should be able to play in both.

Plus the teams we were putting out in the early rounds of the Europa League were different to those in the Premier League.

One of Pardew's biggest excuses that and I hate it.

True. But 2 points more and a League Cup. That being difference between the sack and getting a big promotion, seems a bit daft. Especially considering, Laudrup seems to have more control over transfers, and has spent a lot more in the summer. WBA also had a really bad summer imo.

And yeah that stat WBA released justifying his sacking seems to be totally misleading. It's obvious WBA will slump towards the end of the season. Them (and Swansea) were miles off Liverpool and Everton above them, and comfortably above the mid-table/relegation battle. It's extremely likely their form will trail off, couple with teams who do need the points will often be desperate for a point against WBA.

Tor-Kristian Karlsen is pushing for Spalletti as Spurs next manager, basing it on his ability to organise an attacking game as he argues that was the main weakness of Spurs under AVB.

Now, I haven't seen very much of Spalletti at Zenit, but based on what he did at Roma I definitely agree with Karlsen's reasoning. Spalletti turned a Roma attack led by Totti, Mancini, Taddei and Perrotta into the most innovative and one of the very best in Europe. Now Spurs don't have anyone near the genius of Totti, but they have about half a dozen players as good as or better than Taddei, Mancini and Perrotta.

As limited a manager as Spalletti is, watching him manage Spurs would be genuinely fascinating.

Spent a fuck ton of money at Chelsea and made them worse, spent a fuck ton of money at Spurs and made them worse.

Again, AVB did not spend a "fuck ton" of money, Baldini did.

Now, you could blame AVB for not getting the most out of the players he was provided, but you could just as easily argue that Baldini bought the wrong players.

Just stuck a cheeky tenner on Solskaer at 79/1. I really don't know who will get the job but I can't see it being any of the favourites.

Who are you referring to?


Levy was willing to sack Hoddle, so unless they've became bff's recently?

Hoddle spent about £11m this summer on strikers Helder Postiga, Frederic Kanoute and Bobby Zamora after Spurs could only finish 10th in the league.


Clearly ill suited to get the best out of Lamela and Soldado then.

Pardew was Ashleys personal friend and didn't really get the job on footballing merit and that hasn't been the worst appointment in the world

And aye apparently they've became very close recently.

Would be a good suggestion if not for the fact he's already employed by a much bigger and more ambitious club than Spurs.

Honestly though, he started so well, then faded badly - and when you're bad at Arsenal the fans don't treat you well.

Why even bother telling him that? He's never going to resign. Just sack him and get it over with.

Also, +1 on Tan being a monumental bell-end.
