    Agreed. But getting the right coaching staff in and their methods/tactics/thoughts into the players in the squad, old and newer ones, will be critical. I feel we have not had that all round approach for sometime now.

    Sure Tom, if that makes you happy.

    We were dealing with Levy, KWP was absolutely no where near the 1st team, we would have sold PEH for c. £15m as he was only 1 year from leaving for free.

    KWP was what, Spurs 3rd of 4th choice RB?

    Separate deals. No need for the naive remark either. Let’s not let your power go to your head <laugh>

    It is that rag so lets take it with sack full of salt. I believe the same article suggested they were looking to either replace Ralph or potentially overhaul the backroom staff - which to me would be a better solution. Maybe not overhaul, but significantly add improve.

    And yet we're going to Ralph's home country in pre-season and playing a friendly against a team coached by his son. Ralph is not in any danger of losing his job anytime soon.

    This is just redrafting the statement that the club are backing Ralph with a different spin. Totally made up ****.

    That's a terrible last 6 games though. Good job the 6 before that were better

    He's coached Anderlecht for 4 seasons. At least he would know how to coach the defense. I would rather gamble on him, than have another disastrous season with Ralph.

    In your opinion which may well not be shared by many due to his inexperience and lack of a track record.

    How many disastrous seasons have we had with Ralph though? I must have missed them.

    Come on. This season for one. The clubs coming up, will be stronger than the ones who have gone down. Bournemouth and Fulham will spend money. I can't see us surviving next season.

    This season was a million miles from 'disastrous' - it just had a very poor ending.

    He might be great. I hope he is, because he's a lovely guy. But it's a stretch to say we have missed out right now.
