1 point ahead of us and giving it large.![]()
The comment wasn't aimed at Spurs prospects this season, I am not confident of us matching last years performance. However, I am pleased that Arry left because of his choice of player targets.
My comment was aimed at the set up at Liverpool where they have employed a manager with a long term plan but have failed to provide him with the necessary playing staff to cope with the short term requirements. Your problem is compounded by having the Europa League to deal with as a couple of injuries could leave you dangerously short.
I don't think any team, including Spurs, is going to get much change at Sunderland, I think MoN has done a good job strengthening their squad whilst ManU with RVP are beginning to look formidable. Chris Hughton did a very long apprenticeship serving as a number 2 under a number of Spurs managers and is doing a fine job at Norwich. Following a poor start they are beginning to gel and by the time you play them they will be well organised and difficult to beat. I think that there is a possibility that you will get nothing from your next three games.
How long will it be before your owners decide to press the panic button? Times have changed since SAF took over at ManU. Managers no longer get a 3 year period of grace before the win their first trophy.
The same goes for AVB at Tottenham, an improvement must happen relatively quickly or calls for his head will gather momentum. However, in the Spurs situation, were Daniel Levy to get rid of AVB, many Spurs fans will point the finger of blame at Levy rather than AVB because many did not want AVB appointed in the first place. After Santini and Ramos, a third disasterous managerial appointment would reflect very badly on Levy so I expect AVB to get a little more time than the Frenchman and the Spainard.
