Unbelievable! I've just heard some Mouser on Talk ****e venting his spleen about Spurs fans, and bleating on about how we never give our managers time to settling in; and the muppet of a presenter let this twat get away with it! He could, so very easily, have put the cheeky Mouser back in his box with two words... Roy Hodgson. Why is the world full of hypocrites?
Money is money, whether it was the direct money or not we ended up with Suarez for less than half the money we received from Torres. If you deposit money into a bank account, do you receive the exact same notes you deposited out the cash machine on a cold Monday morning? It's all swings and roundabouts mate.
Aww Hiag, you'll be able to give Woy all the time you like when England sack him and he comes to manage you. Then you can show that mouser how patient you are
We shipped five goals against Man City at home a couple of seasons ago for similar reasons - a midfield that couldn't tackle. On Sunday it was because of AVB's idiotic decision to play Paulinho further forward whilst playing a clearly injured Sandro, against City it was because Sandro was out, we were too busy haggling to get a couple of million off Parker's fee, so we started with Kranjcar in defensive midfield. Don't you get it? We pretty much gave you the midfield with AVB's idiotic team selection, so it was never going to work out at all well with Coutinho on the pitch - and your form nosedived when he was out injured, so don't try the "we won without X, Y or Z" line when you had him and Suarez playing, because without them you would've probably only got a couple of goals based on our haplessness. As I said, we'd have lost to Sunderland or Palace with that line-up. The fact is the 6-0 loss to City was the worse result, not based on the score but because we picked a strong line-up who didn't turn up for the first half then gave up in the second. Against Liverpool it was like we sent eleven random players out there to die, so it was never going to be pretty.
The point was that Dalglish wasted the Torres money not about your profit and loss. Had we not bought Torres you would not have bought Carroll for starters; ergo he wasted the Torres money. Suarez would have signed regardless of the Torres deal and therefore completely irrelevant to the point made. Suarez was a brilliant signing of course and if we'd have bought him instead of Torres we would probably be top of the league and you'd be fighting for 8th with United!!
I would say City or yourselves will win it,but both still need work on the teams,The Gooners will fade IMO
When you appoint your next manager that will be a total of 40 managers in your history compared to our 20. Roy Hodgson getting the boot is not our usual style.
You appear to be counting caretakers and repeat appointments for Spurs, but not for Liverpool, for some reason.
Utd had one manager from 1945 to 1969 and one from 1986 to 2013, during which periods the club was the most successful in England. Utd had six managers in the intervening 17 years when success was elusive. Good reason to stick by a manager.
Fergie ended his time at Utd the most successful domestic manager in England but he was playing catch up for a lot of years before he achieved that status. Sir Matt.
I would say Spurs tried to buy trophies like United but bought some right dodo's,including managers! I would say that since the mid 80's United got their players (and many were very good!) because they were well paid. I believe Spurs went back in time to between the wars by trying to keep their money and scrape the barrel.....and you can see the result in their post mid 80's record! Funny thing,I do have this feeling that Spurs 2013/14 season may have a happy ending............
But we Spurs never claim that "this year is our year," as you know full well, Ozzie. Or are you merely using this board to wum?
