Welcome MO PO. 5 year deal, I give him til Christmas.


Hopefully he'll help kickstart Lamela and Soldado's spurs careers and bring some of the young talent through- particularly Alex Pritchard.


Vertonghen has committed to the cause, hopefully Lloris and Eriksen will do the same.

it goes through lulls, and god knows we've been responsible for predicting 'this time..'


I mean there's plenty of life in it, its just there's not alot interesting to engage which is giving us regulars apathy which has crept here too.


I mean Glazer dead and nary a peep?!?


Anyway, come the world cup hopefully we'll all cheer up a bit!!

And I meant it with love, not scorn really


If I was a spurs fan I would be excited about this appointment too. But would I be confident? A great job at Southampton to be sure (although he inherited a pretty good squad), and there have been boardroom shenanigans to navigate there as well but, but.


Levy + a not majorly experienced manager at top level? Could turn out to be another Brendan Rodgers* or could turn out to be yet-another-spurs-manager


* I harbour some doubts as to wether Brendan Rodgers will be so well regarded this time next year

Personally I think the jury is out on Roy Keane - he failed at Ipswich but got a promotion at Sunderland. I'm not sure I want him but I'd prefer him to Coyle who turned it down before. Other more ambitious targets are also likely to say no.


In the 1980s Celtic were finishing 4th and 5th in Scotland - the job has to be done and done well. Only fools take success for granted.





Keane's bumpy ride


Sept 2006: Inspires Sunderland to a 2-1 win over Derby in his first game as manager.

March 2007: Leaves three players behind when they are late for team bus to Barnsley.

April 2007: Carlo Edwards scores a great winner over Burnley to put Keane on course for promotion and title.

April 2008: Premier League survival ensured with a 3-2 win over Middlesbrough.

Oct 2008: Sunderland fans dance in thestreet as they beat Newcastle for the first time in 25 years.

Nov 2008: Keane says he may quit after abject 4-1 defeat by Bolton. He walks away four days later.

I'm not convinced by the idea of Pochettino at Spurs. His famous double training sessions might have gone down well with the young aspirational Southampton squad, but, the likes of Adebayor will be less keen. I guess he could ship a load of players out and bring in a fresh batch; wouldn't that have an element of deja vu for the fans?

I agree that Pochettino did well at Soton but didn't perform miracles. They weren't doing too badly when he arrived and they had a habit of producing great young players that bigger clubs poach long before he arrived. If he can take one or two of them with him that would help - and he should get shot of the Billy-Big-Bollocks.


Wish we had him though.

Is ending an opponents career by busting someones leg on the pitch really necessary?

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
