That was a good watch. They said pretty much what I've been saying so clearly they are men of some genius.
Mason definitely needs to move on - or to be moved on, if it's not a voluntary departure. He's part of the Cosy Club who we're paying high wages for poor end product. This is our best opportunity for a proper root & branch clear out of the dead wood.
If Ange fails to do this, his project will also fail.
Admin, somebody's hacked intobrumspur 's account and given me 3 hahas in 24 hours. Needs sorting - could be the tip of an iceberg.
Someone must have moved the disagree button next to the smiley button

Mason is not 'dead wood'. Don't be so harsh.
I do think he's got potential and needs to get a managerial position at a lower league club now though, and I hope he makes a big success of it.
Would love him to be successful and come back to manage us one day on merit, once/if he's proven himself.
Love Ossie but him and his fucking spelling.
Fucking signed Ronald rather than Ronaldo.
Incorrect on both counts.
Postecoglou did not seek to renew his contract, he was not sacked. He had been in that job for as long as he felt he wanted to be and desired to move onto bigger roles in a senior setup.
If you actually know anything about Craig Foster, the guy 'interviewing' Postecoglou at that time, you would know that he is seen as a really good guy (was a decent football player too) but a bit of an idiot when it comes to football punditry. If you watched (and more importantly absorbed) the interview, Foster is bang out of order and misrepresents what Postecoglou told him about the failures of that team. In addition to this he proceeds to continually talk over him and refuses to let him answer the questions put to him. All this in addition to not having done his research. And if you know anything about our youth setup at the time Postecoglou was 100% correct.
Further to this, I am sure you also haven't noted that the same Craig Foster who got it so very wrong 20 years ago was one of the first people to publicly endorse Postecoglou for the Spurs job.
But I guess, much like Craig Foster in that interview 20 years ago, you did not do your research and did not know any of this.
Here is the interview.
And here is the same Craig Foster yesterday (noting again that he has not done his research)
Craig Foster: Ange Postecoglou move to Spurs 'a match made in heaven'
Craig Foster believes Ange Postecoglou's potential move to Tottenham is 'a match made in heaven' and says the manager has proven his ability at every stage of his career so far.www.skysports.com
First impressions of Craig Foster are that he is quite possibly a cunt.

Fucking hell.
You're right. He's dead twig.
I'm glad we haven't got Nagelsmann. He's an ugly fucker.
Since when was a 'hot prospect' who was an assistant manager or Vincent Kompany who's won one trophy in the Championship after a pretty poor spell in Belgium better than a manager who's experienced, won trophies at every club he's been at and just come off the back of managing one of the biggest clubs in the world winning 5 out of 6 trophies in the process playing by all accounts excellent football?
It's like when fans use the comparison of Steven Gerrard being successful in Scotland, he won one trophy out of a possible 9 available.
Shit dress sense too. I can see why players hate him
This Arteta love is getting on my tits.
Two seasons in a row he's managed a team which shat itself when push came to shove. Pissing around with lightbulbs and shitty drawings and telling his players he loves them all the time? He's just an odd man. Yeah, 2nd is better than they'd have hoped for at the start of the season but they blew an almost unassailable lead.
They've had their glory season, it ended with nothing. The big boys will get their shit together next season and squeeze them out probably, they'll be fighting it out for 5th or 6th with us.

His Celtic teams look good. Not just the results but the football looks really easy on the eye. My concern is, its one thing to turn Celtic into bully boys as most of the clubs aside from Rangers can punch back. But in this league, forget Woolwich, City, United, Liverpool Newcastle, teams like Villa, Brentford & Brighton can all throw punches.
So were going to play attacking and direct football, brilliant, I hope we have a plan to deal with opposition transitions and phases of the game where we wont have the ball, because something tells me when we play City, Woolwich and Liverpool, we wont be dominating possession. Where at Celtic, they dominated every domestic game by virtue of being inherently stronger than everyone else, and most of the other teams couldn't muster up a robust counterattack to save their life's.
