Is this the right place for this, what are your thoughts on De Zerbi?

Immediate remit would be to stop your lot playing like absolute muppets for the next 7 games, assuming he can do that get you pushed back up to the European spots and then actually challenging like you were under Pochettino.

I actually really rate De Zerbi, I'm not one of those Gooners that wants Spurs relegated, I think the Prem will be worse for it, No NLD needle, no West Ham needle, no Chelsea needle, we need those games. Important for London.

The main sticking point is his defending Rapeson Greenwood at Marseille, which is a hell of a mark on his character

Also the issue of him being best-known for playing 3ATB, as Kendall & Shiv seem to be allergic to hiring anyone who plays a back four

This may, or may not be true but if it is then it's just another reason I don't want him. Club is a shambles..

I don’t particularly want him now but definitely wouldn’t want him in the championship so I don’t think this is a bad thing. The amount we’re throwing at him though is ridiculous for what he is, basically another middling manager.

It’s why if we are going down this route of getting someone more permanent then dyche would make more sense as he would be a good choice to get us out of the championship. The downside of Dyche is that if he kept us up, would we really want him taking us into a new premier league season?
 
With 7 games left, I don’t even think it matters what manager we bring in. It generally takes a new manager a good couple of months for their ideas to translate onto the pitch, ideally they get a couple months in the summer for pre-season too. Whether it ends up being De Zerbi or anyone else, I think we’ll be staying up or going down based little on the manager and their style. It’s gonna be whether our players remember to do the basics; defenders needing to defend, midfielders mucking in with bits of everything and strikers most importantly finding the net - which with our lot, is something I don’t hold much hope on.

I’ve resigned myself to relegation now anyway, something I never thought I’d see or say as a Spurs fan for a long, long time (if ever tbh) but I’m almost at peace with it. I guess the hope to cling onto should we get relegated is a sort of phoenix rising from the ashes scenario; rid ourselves of the incompetent knobs running the show, ween out the players who aren’t truly here for Spurs and have a true club reset. I don’t see Spurs doing a Leeds and spiralling down to League One, I think we’d likely bounce right back and then *hopefully* act like the big club we are, instead of thinking we’re Burnley with a white kit and cockerel badge.

If Man City finally gets their punishment from the FA, it’s rumoured they could face up to 60 points being deducted, which would save us from relegation.
 
It’s hard to know what impact a new manager will have. It depends if the players like him and take on board his ideas quickly.
Michael Carrick took over as an inexperienced manager who had done OK in the Championship, but he’s proved (so far) to be an inspired choice. He’s done well by doing the most basic things;
1. Setting up the team in the formation which obviously suits them.
2. Playing players in their best position - round pegs in round holes.
3. Sending them to play with confidence and on the front foot.
4. Changing the mood in the dressing room by encouraging the players to express themselves, backing them 100% in front of the media and removing any fear of failure.
Utd have good players who, as a result, are playing at the level they should be. He got them there from game one.
Spurs have good players too.

To be fair, Utd at least have players that can stick the ball in the back of the net.... :bandit:

I think most of these were absent under Tudor.

1) Insisted on playing wing backs when we don't have any apart from Porro and ended up shoe horning Spence and even Gray into the role just to make it fit.

2) Asking Solanke to drop deeper/wider was an absolute nonsense that unsurprisingly failed to get the best out of anyone apart from Tel who seemed to thrive having more of the spotlight.

3) Absolutely laid into the players within a week of arriving, basically calling them unfit and badly coached.

4) He handled this part pretty well from what we saw in the public eye. Always came across with a lot of confidence in press conferences.
 
Well the rocket the players truly needed up their arses has well and truly arrived in RDZ .

Whether you love him or hate him this appointment has definitely improved our chances of staying up imo and if we are in the premier league next season with a big exodus and the right players bought in we will actually see Tottenham players not being afraid of the ball and able to string more than 2 passes together.

Of course it will all end in tears probably within the space of 2 years but at least we will start looking forward to games again.
