Is Tottenham such a bad opportunity? Their main problem has just been appointing bad or unsuitable managers. I don't think there's anything fundamentally broken there. It's not a basket case like Chelsea. They're well capable of a top 5 finish if they get the right guy in.
It’s fucking Spurs!
I can't say I share the idea this Spurs squad are top 5 material.
Additionally financially they're tight at best of times, but since the stadium it's even worse. There's reports there is very little money to spend this summer and both Jose and Conte were crystal clear in that there's a losing doesn't matter culture throughout the club. It's a decent enough gig for someone like McKenna, or a manager with a point to prove, but for Iraola, who is on a pathway to a proper big club, IMHO, then would be a wild risk and a fast way to stall or even destroy any established credibility, IMHO.
I don't disagree that they're not a bad landing spot for most managers, but they're absolutely nowhere near being a top 5 team for me... Who in the top 5 are they going to replace? They should be in the top half, maybe, but that's about it.
Spurs literally finished 5th last year.
Fair, and this year they're 16th... Who do you think that they'll be better than, next year? That's a once decent team that's now thorough broken, and it's not changing back quickly.
Well tbf I didn't actually say that I think they'll finish 5th next year. What I meant but didn't make explicit is that within a reasonable time frame they're easily capable of finishing 5th. But if I was pushed then yes I ALSO think it's entirely possible for them to finish 5th next year just like they did last year.
You ask who they might replace in a year and one month without seeming to realise that the top 5 is in flux OVER THE NEXT MONTH, let alone over the next 13 months. There is no established top 5 to break into! Beyond the top 3 and bottom 3 the league is vey competitive and fluid.
But to spell it out: I could see Spurs finishing above any of Villa, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Forest.
Well, fair enough. Not for me.
I don't see them making up 10+ places in such a competitive league in just one season, but we shall see.... I understand that the top 5 is very fluid as we speak, but Spurs are just too flippin' woeful for me to think that they're gonna approach any of the teams that you mention, never mind replace them.
With Kane gone and Son aging out, they need a big refresh up front. And at the back. And in midfield. And in the dugout.
What about in the stadium?
Stadium's alright. Well, except for all the Spurs fans.
I agree - he seems the obvious choice for them.
Chelsea will probably be after him too when they sack Maresca.
Arteta next please.
Nah. He won’t get it. They’ll already be deep in the summer plans based on him staying. But could be a great shout for first next season.
Trying to work out who Thundercunt is?
Arteta?
The thunderbird looking cunt....the thundercunt.
Fair.
I prefer Legoheadedcunt… and as someone who fucking loves Lego.
But I can live with and respect Thundercunt too.
Anything with cunt in it will probably work.
Artetachoke seems to be the latest trend out there thanks to our good friends at Paddy P (not the 1 that looks like a scrotum).
& it goes hand in hand for someone like me who fucking hates artichoke.
Spurs have a foundation for growth they have a net goal difference of 6 which is remarkable for a 16th place team. Ange is not the man to make it, but get a more tactically astute manager, they could make top 6
