FabSwingers.com forum: So… spurs fans.. can we talk you off the ledge now?

Newcastle and Gateshead

So….. what gives?

It was obvious that conte was trying to get himself sacked after the last tirade (classic by the way)…

So a few questions…

Who do you want next?

When does it stop being about the managers and you look at the owners?

I was trying to think of managers who have improved their reputation by going to spurs… other than poch, who?

I know loads of people are going to want naglesman.. why would he want the job?

And I managed to get through all this without laughing once…..

The owners don’t play pre historic football with no attacking ambition. For the most part he’s been well backed by them I think.

The issue with the owners is bringing in Conte/Mourinho types and not giving them the player profiles they want.

I’m a Gooner and find this fucking hilarious btw

I want Poch back. And Rose, Walker, Aldeweireld, and Vertonghen at the back. Dembelé as the CDM pivot, Dele Alli pulling his tricks. I want to have beaten Chelsea in the Battle of Stamford Bridge. I want to have kept the unfit and injured Kane out of that Champions League final, because if ever a player were on fire it was Moura.

I want Daniel Levy out, and the purse-strings held by someone who is not a Liverpool supporter.

Yes, I want the impossible, the fantastical, the counter-historical. I am ridicule and mockery-proof. I am a Spurs fan.

Passio ergo sum.

23 years of Levys tenure.

5 trophys they've been fighting for.

Premier League.

FA Cup.

Champions League.

League/Carabao Cup.

Europa League.

115 attempts at winning a cup and only a CL semi final and the League Cup (decades ago) to show for it.

A lot of what Conte said was wrong. But a lot was spot on.

They only go for the money, a really true Soccer manager would not go to Spurs , well if he was truly interested in his career as a Soccer manager he wouldn't .

To be fair, Nagelsmann would be an amazing appointment for them. I think he'd not only be able to get the best out of certain players already there but can do well with a few shrewd signing while playing a decent style of football that Spurs fans have been starved of since Poch.

I don't want to make this about United but people were also asking why Ten Hag would want the job when we were in crisis and I suppose the simple answer is that managers are so full of pride, they think they can be the ones to turn it around.

They do like to zip through managers.

You could draw inference perhaps that it might not actually be the managers fault and more ENIC who has allowed the club to be perennially on the verge of success but never quite making it.

In fairness TH does seem to have changed things for the better.

Liverpool result aside, they seem to be going in the right direction.

The latest farce at Spurs.....

I'm expecting Brian Rix to walk in at any moment, drop his trousers and say fnarrrrr fnarrrrr.

Not a spurs fan. But in regards to nagelsmann, after Bayern there's few places to go.

He could wait for Real Madrid. Or go to Paris if he's not really after a challenge.

That leaves the premier League where all the top managers have congregated.

Doesn't look like pep is leaving, unless he wins the champions league and then does call it a day. Klopp is staying. Ten Hag is solid at United.

So that leaves Chelsea. He could wait for potter to be sacked. They're saying they're happy to give him more time.

Do next options would be spurs and Newcastle probably now. Howe looks solid at Newcastle.

There's not a lot of choice at that level. Why poch has just been lurking around waiting.

The gossip pages are suggesting he's hanging on for Real or PSG.

Ancelloti would be a tough act to follow, PSG a dressing room ruled by egos......

Please God Potter gets time at Chelsea, he's a great manager.

I'll admit to

at Spurs....... a lot.
