Dear New Manager
Dear New Manager of Tottenham Hotspur,
I’m just writing to say hello and welcome from the Spurs faithful. I have no idea who you are, if you are Portuguese, French or even Scottish, someone may need to translate this for you.
Spurs are a club with a fine, rich and deep history rooted in success, great football and legendary players, read up on us, understand our history on the pitch and our fans. The weight of expectation is upon you to build on this legacy, make us stronger, play the best team you can from the squad you have and make your time here successful.
Now I’ve covered the very basics above but there are a few pointers that will ease your path. You are a manager, you can offer an opinion but try to avoid lines like…
‘My wife could have scored that’, players low on confidence don’t tend to see the funny side. Similarly it sort of goes without saying branding your own supporters as ‘idiots’ is unlikely to garner a lot of love from the fans.
‘I just told them to run about a bit’, this shows a deep lack of tactical nous.
‘They did well today’, you’re part of a team, try using ‘we’, you may not always feel loved but you need to show you’re part of Tottenham Hotspur, not just to share the glory but show your responsible when the brown stuff hits the fan.
If you are successful don’t start flirting with other jobs, at least not publicly and if you’re asked about a job with England or some Oligarch’s Play-thing of a side, you say this word for word, ‘I’m commited to Tottenham, anyone who would want my services would need to speak to the club but in the meantime I love being here and want to see the club where it belongs, which is in the top 4 and in Europe every season’ – you can cut and paste that bit. The chairman won’t be impressed if you start trying to negotiate via The Sun.
Now all of the above sounds a bit of a minefield and Spurs is at times, for a fan it draws you in and it makes you love them, despair and makes you a little crazy. You will experience massive highs for bringing us success and sharp criticism for failure and a number of people ‘who never wanted you anyway’.
Speaking personally, all I want you to do is the right things, set us up to our strengths, we have this tremendously talented left winger who seems to drift all over the place, we have a really classy brazilian centre midfielder who really should have got a bit more game time last season and we have a couple of great players sent out to loan who would look just perfect on our hallowed turf wearing our beloved shirt.
So in summary, good luck & love the shirt!
Please Daniel, Get the Scottish One.
Scottish one for me too
Pkease Daniel get the Portuguese one
Please even
Your sad and gay tottenham have never been a big club and never will get over it lol Europa league loool. Bye bale bye modric lol. Gunner 4 life real history lol bye Harry loool no. Managers want to go tere lol maybe tony pulls u played good football for 3 months lol so did Wigan lol arsenal and Barcelona r the on.y teams who play the beautiful game sorry lol relegated looool
Max could you get another LOL in there? lol what an absolute Muppet!!
Lool I’m the muppet that’s gonna be watching champions league football at the emirates next season u dullard lol
another 16 year old who’s been watching football for a couple of years from outside the pub window whilst his alcoholic old man pisses away the benifits …. football knowledge of a house brick……
lol lol cant you get anymore in there, an beautiful football from the gooners ur having a laugh lol lol, an its ONLY lol lol
C*NT – No other way of looking at it – an ignorant and uneducated one at that too…
The real history that the Gooner franchise had to move accross London to chase the success and interest there was in North London? The beautiful game which spurs learnt abroad while touring and introduced to Britain with push & run football in the ’60s – along with reaching new heights of success both with domestic trophies and european (how’s that been going by the way)?
The beautiful game you had no idea how to play until Wenger showed up? Or the beautiful game you still try to play, which actually become pretty damn boring the more you watch it.? It becomes a little tedious sometimes…
If you are going to criticise one of the greatest teams in Europe if not the world in terms of history and playing style, please can you do it in a more informed and coherent way and without butchering the English language. Also Barca play much, much better football than is played in that library of a stadium, and I don’t mean library in terms of books, so don’t worry, no reading is required.
Have you got your head out of your rear end yet?
History of bottling it looool dear manager looool are u 4 real r u a man lol
Oh look we have another LOL, please dear god leave it alone. you gooners make me laugh.
Yet another South East London Woolwich Wandering Nomad who clearly lacks keyboard and grammar skills! Do yourself a favour, go back to school, get educated and think about what you type before doing so.
And if I was you I would concentrate on RVP leaving you rather than worrying about Bale and Modric you pathetic little runt!
Top Notch, you heard the Yid. Get back to school you idiot then maybe come back with a grown up debate. Or you could just do one, which would best suite me.
Pathetic little cunt more like.
COYS

what a dick i’d love to meet you in a sound proof room
Adam tottenham r shit get over it u fuckin virgin nerd go pop ur cherry loooool answer my question r u always below us yes or no huh huh looool dullard
Obviously your mother kept the wrong part when she gave birth to you! If you read the actual post you’ll see this has nothing to do with Ars*nal. Correct? NOW, why don’t you toddle off and get back to smelling the vintage stench out of your mothers gusset while listening to Jls and One Direction.
If we’re Virgins, then yours has healed up with a lack of activity
I think there is something wrong with your brain Max.
Adam. Well said sir.
Max. What “real history do you refer to? Is it the one which tells the story of how your beloved AFC has changes it’s name and moves across London more times than I have hot dinners. Great history, one to be proud of.
I don’t think English is Max’s first language, Typical
The ‘them’ in ‘tell them to run about a bit’ was actually a ‘him’. And was a responce to Pav’s interpreter asking if Harry had anything he wanted him to tell Pav. And saying they (the team) did well works both ways. You pointed out the negative that it can deflect failure, but what about the games we won? It must have deflected all the responsibility to the players and not himself? That’s good for the players in my opinion. Hopefully Moyes gets the job and in a few years time we might get back to where Harry had us. The alternative Ramos-esque tenure is unthinkable.
Ignore Max he’s always like this when he’s not had any cock lately
Btw my names not max u dullard lol
Lmfaro.
max, how do fancy getting kicked to within an inch of your life you little prick.
Tottenham always below us loooooool I’m gunna rape all yids mums looool chai gotta go u fukin computer nerds I’m on iPad btw lol chow
Classy – it that because you’ve never known yours?
She was too busy around mine – she didn’t care much for you anyway. Hence the lack of effort put in to teach you how to spell.
I really wish Arsenal fans who comment on spurs blogs were older than 10 years old. They they might actually know a time when they were pretty shocking and renowned for always playing the “Arsenal Brand of Football”.. Long balls, boring as hell and all their players junkies.
iPad? More like Etch-a-Sketch!
Max, you are a Nomad loser who cannot type/spell/think. And your club has no base, no history, and they should also go to back to south London. You have a gay goalkeeper who fancies john terry!! Enough said. I HATE ARSE*AL…..
Mate….when god gave out names for football clubs he put ARSE in yours for a reason !!!!
The only people that like you are Man Shitty because you lot are their feeder club – oh and don’t forget to take your books back on time when you visit the Emirates !!!
When did spurs last win the league before any of u so called supporters were born say no more and don’t reply pls because I won’t see it
To be fair to max and his friends, they present a very convincing case for late abortion.
When you say late do you mean aged 15 :)
Yes
In fact im 14 and i know more about football than you
In fact I wasn’t talking about you but the brain dead twerp named Max. A 15 year late abortion is ok in his case but wasn’t a generalisation. And you’re right, Bale has said he can’t wait to kick off at the Barcodes!
Great synopsis of what we need in a new manager …
I do have a good deal of trust in Levy – I was sceptical of Redknapp as manager and he proved me wrong. I just hope we don’t get a Ramos or Gross … AVB or Blanc for me. In fact, I’d take Martin Jol back in a second for some unknown reason…
Did he say bye bye bale and modric well if you loook at other stories bale said he cant wait to play newcastle at the start of the season dosent sound like he wants to go. And modric for 50 mil yeah happy with that we bring in a young goalie another CM and a clinical striker aswell as adeyboyor
Wht can’t spurs be more like arsenal and keep a manger for more than five minutes kmt sad to say I look upto them there everything we are not
Pthetic attempt to pose as a Spurs supporter. I look up to them reminds me of the Two Ronnies sketch but they were INTENDING to be funny. Where did the manger come into football? Presumably Sam can’t read or he wouldn’t have posted such a garbled comment.”kmt?” and there rather than they’re gives away a true gooner -illiterate and english not their first language. Transparent trolls breed in the Emptycrates.
ahh little gooner twats gone to bed
good article hope we dont get avb though
Tottenham r garbage. Man city rule no talking lets just see next season we got billions baby
Yeah your club got billions but i’ll bet you still live on a council estate and live off benefits. Any jobs up north? No, ha ha. Now stop commenting on blogs that don’t concern you and get back to living your SHAMELESS lifestyle. Man city skum bag
To Max the gooner,grow up,and get a brain.for God sake if you really need to come on this site,try and give some grown up comments,and not these rather idiotic ramblings of the village idiot.Sorry,no im not apologisingI just remembered your a gooner.And we all know where your brain is.Yes thats right up the Arse.Never a trurer word spoken in jest.
