Conte’s already rejected us mate, or so reports in Italy say. So it’s either Potter or ten Hag. Potter will cost more as Brighton will want a fortune (and rightly so) and ten Hag would need serious convincing and backing to want to leave a club like Ajax for us at the moment. I think we could get either if we offered them their worth but I just don’t see it happening. And so it’s then scouring around for people out of work because spending money on a manager isn’t seemingly on the agenda. Fonseca then jumps near the top of the queue I’d imagine, hard to think of too many other realistic targets. Valverde? Zidane? Garcia?
If you hear somebody yelling "Gallardo!!!", that's r/coys and their belief having a manager who doesn't speak English isn't an issue Alternatively, Paratici remembers the Bundesliga exists and looks at the likes of Lucien Favre or Domenico Tedesco, both of whom are available
I know exactly what we’ll do. We’ll go for Fonseca, for all the reasons you said, and the fact he’s a “realistic target”. (Whilst simultaneously grovelling to him about why we pulled the plug in the summer when his family were packed up and ready to move ) But this “realistic target” route, is basically the easy, cheap route. And it will be exactly the same crap we’ve seen.
Talk that Mason could be interim until Christmas, albeit it seems to have stemmed from Footyinsider so take with large amount of salt.
ESPN have also said what other sources have in that senior figures at the club were surprised by the hostility of the fans towards Nuno and the club in general on Saturday. It really does show those at the top are seriously out of touch with things. As if results and performances weren’t already concerning, as well as social media ranting on the major platforms which I’m almost certain Spurs monitor (Twitter/ Facebook/ Insta), let alone the fact the THST called for a meeting and went public with things, the signs should’ve been there at Burnley away when the crowd started telling Nuno to make a sub. When fans start getting onto the manager like that the club has to start realising the discontent if they’ve not already spotted it elsewhere/ been oblivious to it. Yesterday’s reaction really was merely the next level of anger but it should never get to that, not at a supposed big club anyway. I was truly surprised he wasn’t relieved straight after the game. To think this club sacked a much loved figure at half time, it’s surprising that someone who’s been as dull as dishwater and even worse than the previous incumbent has so far managed to last a near 24 hours after yet another shoddy defeat. And what’s worse is that most of us here are more or less expecting another underwhelming appointment. Sometimes I wish football didn’t exist and I could just solely stick to MMA, that rarely disappoints (props to Glover Teixeira by the way, new UFC LHW champ at 42, what a story!).
How could the club be surprised at the discontent of fans...did they think they were dozing off mid way through the first half as a show of contentment?
surely the spursofficial twitter admin reports to their senior? How is it possible to be out of touch with how the fans feel? It’s ‘000’s of posts each week moaning!
I suppose one way they potentially look/ looked at things is if say 10,000 people on social media are moaning but 60,000 are turning up to games they somewhat brush it under the carpet but when a large amount of those 60,000 in the ground (or about 55,000 if we minus the away fans) are going batshit at manager, players and chairman then it probably hits home that sometimes social media can be an accurate measurement of the fanbase's feelings and should be taken into consideration when necessary.
Approx 50 000 fans are season ticket holders...their choice is to ... 1. Just not turn up (unlikely as that is the equivalent of throwing your money away) 2. Sell it back to the club (unlikely as most fans ain't paying a small for for travel, tickets, food and a drink to watch the dross we are playing. 3. Turn up and boo etc. Pretty obvious what was gonna happen really. A key sign was how few people have attend the home ECL games....they club ignored it by pretending it was all cos the competition is ****e rather than how appallingly boring we are.
Even on here where we are usually split on our views I haven't heard anyone saying we should keep Nuno.
Option 2 is a ****ter too because unless you're facing a big team like Utd, selling the ticket back to the club isn't always a guarantee. I couldn't make Villa as I was in Devon and my ticket didn't sell in the days I had it on exchange. Yet my mate couldn't go Utd yesterday and only stuck his ticket on exchange Friday afternoon and it had sold when he checked in the evening. As for ECL, that's completely their fault anyway, regardless of the football. If they charged between £5-£10 for matches I will have gone to them all but £25? **** off, seriously **** off. The 3 game package was semi-respectable at £50 but that's still £16.50 a ticket for a third tier competition.
Good point. Me and my girls would have gone to at least 1 of the ECL games but no way am I pay £75 for the 3 of us, plus travel for us, plus food plus a couple of coffees...would be lucky to get any change from £150 ... to watch dross football.
