Yeah, our transfer windows are always fire fighting rather than planning. Along with everything else we need to think about Son, 32 this summer and just think we need to accept one summer of having a major spend. Then if we do well hopefully we wont be in this situation for a while and can concentrate on adding 2 or 3 as a refresh in future summers. £100m NET this summer wont cut it even with top scouting.

Conte lost the dressing room because he was a twat.
Do you think Pep or Klopp weren't/aren't stubborn?
Stats don’t begin to explain yesterday and they don’t get to cover up reality. For example wasn’t it about 58 minutes before we had a shot on target yesterday ?
And Goons managed to be 0-3 ahead at the same point with only 2 efforts on goal…
Yesterday, coming off Newcastle and two weeks of “training” is no cause for optimism.
ENIC didn’t sell me my season ticket with the caveat that it’s reduced this year because we could not be expected to pay for a functional team when it’s an experimental one.

Should he be sacked? No
Will he be sacked? No
Does he need better players? Yes
Will he get all that he needs? No
Will it end the same way as it usually does with our managers? Yes
I honestly cant think who else we could get that would get far at THFC, it is just such a difficult job.

If we where being ruthless and also willing to go for it then sell the likes of Son and Lo Celso and bring in the likes of Williams, Goykeres, Eze and get the squad to match profile and ability of what we need. More likely we will get one top player then a few randoms hence the hope will be on Lange and Paratici cooking top draw bargains.
How ruthless and ambitious this new set up is will be very clear this summer with the window.

The man is the Ossie Ardiles of modern day managers except he doesn't have being an exceptional player for the club to fall back on. He doesn't care about defensive structure, he doesn't care what the opposition do and how they're set out, he doesn't care about defending set pieces.
Bare in mind, he fixed it second season...
Celtic fans literally told us all of this when he joined us...
It's the same pattern at every single club. Trying to establish a way of playing first and foremost at sacrifice of pretty much everything else. And it's rectified second season when he's at his most successful.
Man needs time.
Give him £100m this summer and top 4 next year likely secured.
Give him £200m this summer and we’ll challenge.
Firmly believe that.

If we use performances against Forest, Brentford and Palace as metrics of success or progress this year then I genuinely do think that what was Tottenham Hotspur has gone.
144 years to put in a half decent performance at home to Forest, a team that can genuinely be relegated. And if you know your history…
( Not digging you here mate just how I see it )

Another myth busted
Eh?
What kind of link is that?
I’m with on the bullshit about set pieces but he’s clearly protecting his coaching staff.
If he doesn’t move Mason on and get a set piece coach in the summer I’ll be concerned
I'd be interested to know how that change occurred. My one concern with his game at the moment is this area as that's where we're being targeted.
Despite being rattled by yesterday's result, I do believe in the guy. Very interesting window and pre-season ahead.
I’m not saying they are metrics of improvement any more than Villa away was or the recent shit results are the opposite.
I’m just saying progress isn’t a straight line and it’s always bumpy. We are addicted to sacking managers as a fanbase. Need to break the habit. For better or worse.
Who cares anyway? We are in a permanent range of nothingness between 4th and 8th. Managers come and go but that never changes.
I think the board are addicted to sacking coaches and coaching teams.
Given the roller coaster ride I can’t quite appreciate now, why any of them have been sacked. We are not better than Poch’s end, Jose’s middle or Conte’s start. And it’s worrying that Ange on current form is Nuno levels.
Despite whomever gets sacked, the board is the board…
What would he do with 300 million ?
Pay for a better anti racism course for you.
