Poor start but has recovered really well. I'd prefer to see him stay at Leverkusen tbh to see what he can build next season. Also Spurs doesn't seem to be a job that enhances managers' credentials right now.
neither is staying at leverkusen. it's all about rep building and taking the right chance at the right time I expect. I'd love to see that guy do well but I quite fancy that a lot of former clubs have one eye on his progress. it's too early to jump ship where he is but equally he can't gain much staying very long as a club like that won't fund him and he will have injuries and end up looking weak. I'd say a jump to a Porto or benfica type and a title would be his next step
I'm not saying he should stay put, just that Spurs is a big gamble for anyone that wants to enhance their reputation. The prize would be to turn a club with internal conflict and what seems to be institutionalised inconsistency into a functioning successful unit - but the booby prize is to be another also-ran who couldn't stop the silk purse being a sow's ear. I'd say failure is a career-killer, but then I remember Frank Lampard...
Its a hiding to nothing at spurs as they not only won't really give the backing, the chairmans seems to want to pick who is bought. you are right, it is what conte said. A institutionalised basket case. theres bascially too much to do with the money from selling kane. Son is 31 i think? the other lad i think is only on a 2 year loan. the midfield is ****e, theres no cbs and the keeper is well... lloris. Thats might be a tad harsh but it really is down to the fact the fans expect to win something every august and then the same things happen. Its fine to rememebr lampard but he started with derby. Failed. Got thrown the Chelsea job. Failed (far too soon to be taking it), somehow landed the everton job, failed. And is reduced to a laughing stock as caretaker at cheslea again. Its a strictly downward spiral. .you might even call rafa a failure. All managers fail but rafa left us, then went to inter, failed, went to cheslea (they never wanted him), went to napoli and did ok, went to real (who's fans never wanted him) and failed so all his clubs since are basket cases like newcastle, everton and some chinese outfit. Or mourinho who was on a stellar trajectory until joining man utd and since then its spurs and roma.
My heart agrees with you, but my head says catching Man U is unlikely so diminishing the threat from Brighton is more important. It's a game we can't lose though - whatever happens.
As I said, my heart agrees. I'm just thinking that if Utd lose there's still a long way to go to catch them, but Brighton edge closer to us, and we could even lose 5th. Hmmm, can you catch pessimism from an internet forum?
If they lose, they'll start to feel the pressure too. I don't see it happening but I won't give up hope until it's impossible
