The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[URZZZZ]

Nuno surely on the brink

Such an awful appointment, desperation appointment in fact. They should pursue Graham Potter imo, like what he's doing at Brighton.

Do feel a bit for him as he’s clearly been hung out to dry, but it was obvious he wasn’t the man to lead them on

They didn’t like Mourinho’s football so they appointed someone (A) more defensive and (B) a worse manager. I know he wasn’t their first choice but surely someone somewhere could have realised this

Said before though, too many deadweight players in the squad. Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Alli. Never really rated Lucas and Bergwijn flatters to deceive. Until they rip out these mainstays, they’re not going anywhere

[Dirk Gently]

I think the fundamental problems at Spurs are at a higher level than the manager - Levy seems to have had a to-do list that said "Build new stadium" and now that's ticked off there doesen't seem to be any plan, strategy or direction.

He did have a second one … make myself ‘look’ like a hard nosed negotiator

Still think they should do what it takes to get Conte. They need a manager to shit up the players who haven't shifted their weight for years. Like Dele, Winks. And now Kane it seems

I agree he is the right man but I just cannot see Levy giving him the finances he'd demand. Conte would need well in excess of £100m to get the Spurs squad revamped, just cannot see him getting it with Levy. Would like to be proven wrong as I think Spurs are a sleeping giant who could shake the league up given the right circumstances.

The time for huge investment was in the summer after the Champions League final, Levy blew it big time.

All needs to be paid for. Debt is running well into the higher hundreds of millions. Stadium cost £1.2 billion.

Nun-GO gone from Spurs.

Loads of talk in the Italian media that Conte is nearly done. Not much from the English side but probably no smoke without fire.

[Hendo]

Should've gone all out to get him in the summer, Spurs just wasted 3 months and a bunch more cash paying off a manager, who was pretty shit by the time his stay at Wolves ended.

[Brogue]

was inevitable, spurs management recruitment has always been a bit iffy, this had a Christian Gross feel about it from the start. Conte would be an excellent appointment, however.

Just what they need if they can get it done, certainly won't be seeing their players strolling around the pitch like it is a charity game each week which is what they need initially. The likes of Kane, Son, Lloris really need a rocket up their backsides, Kane especially. We all know he is off at the end of the season but there is no excuse for his recent "efforts". He puts a shift in for England (normally) so it must be a club issue with him.

Barnsley sack Markus Schopp. Lost their last 7 games and are in a Lidl bit of danger of being relegated.

Yep. It's time that Spurs pulled their finger out and actually started acting like a big club really

They'll be lucky to find another Ismeal but also wouldn’t rule it out.

Be hard pressed to get them as high as Ismael did, losing Brian Mowett really killed them. No creativity at all in their side and there are a lot of games between now and Januray. By the time they can get players in it might be too late for them.

Interesting reaction from Spurs fans; not much blame of Nuno and really turning on Levy. Thing is, if you look at Levy's 20 year tenure, Spurs are in a far better position than when he took over, but the past 3 years or so have been a catalogue of errors.

They had a top quality manager committed for the long term, but they didn't back him in the final 18 months of his reign when the squad needed a refresh. They then made a big mistake with Mourinho and gave him the transfer funds that should have been given to Pocchetino. And now the Nuno recruitment process was a farce and their squad is a mess, while the decision not to cash in on Kane looks like a bad decision for Spurs and England.

I still think their run to the Champions League final was a bit of an aberration; the decline had already started by then and it was Pocchetino's last hurrah. But they really had the opportunity under him to push on and become regular title contenders, and they have utterly ballsed it up.

Pochettino’s summer spend 2019: £95 million
Mourinho’s summer spend 2020: £55 million
Approximately

Without disagreeing that Pochettino wasn’t backed enough in the transfer market, £25 million for an average Sessegnon and £55 million for N’Dombele have been two really poor pieces of business

Losing Alex Mowatt was a big

So you're saying that Sessegnon isn't the next coming after being constantly reminded at how he was only 17 by Don Goodman 100x a game? Imagine my shock.

Jumped ship too early. Wasn’t as good as was made out to be at such an early stage. Still a fantastic achievement at such a young age but looking at this stage like a waste of potential
