I think Levy's plan has been successful. At this point, I just want a manager. Anyone will do, really. It can't get worse.
Yeah, in the past I've been more patient...but the season effectively ended for me in March so now it just feels ridiculously overdue.Me too. I just want someone in. Time's wasting away. There's less than three months until next season starts. It would be real nice to have at least two months in which to pretend, that we're making a fresh start and have hope. Before results start rolling in and reality sets in
Everything other than both being Dutch and both winning Eredivisie.What's the difference between Slot and De Boer?
Naglesmann all day and every day. Bayern have gone to pot without him.
Is it your opinion that every player in Qatar not wearing their armbands are bigots too? Or is it ok not to wear them if you replace "God" as the authority telling you not to do it with "Fifa" and the punishment isnt eternity in hell, but a yellow card?You seem to assume that their belief in Islam is not a choice. I understand that children are indoctrinated so I have some sympathy. But your beliefs are your choice and you have to take responsibility for those choices. That’s part of being an adult.
If your God is sexist or racist or homophobic then he is not worth following. You’re not following a good person. There is literally NO good reason to discriminate on the basis of natural characteristics. None.
So there is no reason to fear going to Muslim hell for him any more than there is Christian hell.
Perhaps you can harm your fellow man and behave immorally for selfish reasons but don’t expect any respect for those views.
I’d be happy with either one tbhThis is the worst thing about them dragging shit out.
It gives fans time to get a feel for candidates as well and eventually no Candidate has a unifying effect.
Nagelsmann last week did. Slot last night did.
Now neither of them do.
Nagelsmann hive wake up! (again)
A well thought out and reasonable post. Although you're over looking one, crucial constant in our never ending cycle of rebuilding. Levy / ENIC
Even if Slot was given time and the fans remained patient, history shows that if he eventually built the team into a major contender, Levy would pull the carpet from under his feet as soon as he got within touching distance, and the sorry cycle of failure turns over once again
He'll never take that extra step involving financial risk that's needed to achieve and sustain success.
Other than new owners with new ideas and real sporting ambition, I really don't think there is a suitable appointment for our predicament
First of all, ManU will be playing Champions League and you guys will be playing Conference League at best. ETH is a completely different coach than Arne Slot. Comparing them by just being Dutch and coming from Eredivisie is really thin, you get that right?Arne Slot would be a HUGE mistake. Let's face it... the Dutch League is not a competitive league and the jump to the Premier League is just too big. I mean look how Erik Ten Hag was annointed as the next great manager and he's been hugely underwhelming. Manchester United fans are already complaining how ETH's tactics are getting worse and worse and how they play boring football.
Go ahead and watch Feyenoord's games in the Europa League - teams that are at or near Feyenoord's level. And they played really bad. Sarri's Lazio dominated them and same with Roma in the quarterfinals.
Not to mention that Slot does not uphold Tottenham's values. He encourages hooligan behavior - it's no surprise that both AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord fans have exhibited unsavory behavior since Slot became manager.
We need Ryan Mason, someone who understands what Tottenham is all about and has players fighting for the badge. See how the players fought against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, how they came back against Manchester United and Liverpool this season. We don't need Arne Slot aka a fatter Peter Bosz.
Whoever comes in is going to have an unbalanced squad, a bunch of players returning from loan that will make it even more unbalanced, and relatively little money to spend compared with the problems.
A lot of us want Slot here. I hope we get it done this week and i would prefer him to Naglesmann now. It feels like a better fit. I think the person you're replying to is on a wind up. No Tottenham fan wants Ryan Mason as manager.First of all, ManU will be playing Champions League and you guys will be playing Conference League at best. ETH is a completely different coach than Arne Slot. Comparing them by just being Dutch and coming from Eredivisie is really thin, you get that right?
In the quarter finals against Roma, Feyenoord won the first match. The second match was won by Roma in the last minute. Roma has a budget that is 3 times higher than Feyenoord and players as Dyballa, Tammy Abraham and Smalling. Feyenoord lost really unfortunate and AS Roma was celebrating because they felt they won from a really organized and quality team coached and build from the ground up by Arne Slot.
Oh yeah, and Feyenoord became not only champions but achieved that with brilliant football, tactics and won the title by a landslide. We call it Slotball at Feyenoord. We are 13 points ahead of Ajax whom invested more than 100mln Euros last summer.
Complaining about his values is just utter bullshit. You don’t seem to speak Dutch because he condemns is it in every possible way. He is a really decent guy. At Feyenoord there hasn’t been much incidents (and there always been some of it, nothing to do with coaches) and at AZ… really?? They guy left 2 years ago and now there was a riot and you blame it to Slot. Your thinking is completely off here.
last thing, reading all these kind of complains here on your forum tells me that you guys don’t deserve a top class manager as Arne Slot who can bring attractive/offensive football combined with success and developing players to a higher level. You guys want more of the same as last couple of years… great to see you at place 8 if that is what you want.
Admin gooner on board. Might want to clean this one out.Arne Slot would be a HUGE mistake.

I'll just settle for the wine.Can Jesus Christ be added to this list please as I think we need a miracle.
