That’s what they’ll want people to think but honestly, from what we’ve seen from levy et al before, it will just be chaos behind the scenes. Nagelsmann seems too smart a guy to jump into our job.
I commented your post.what?
Why is Mason a future Spurs manager,I don’t see it.Stellini and Mason have an audition for the rest of their career now.
Surely Stellini has to have one eye on a head coach role for himself. He could use this as a spring board.
Mason is 100% a future tottenham manager. When that happens and where he goes first could shape that.
The week before he had black smoke coming out of his earsDidn't you spot the white smoke coming out of his ears during his post match rant at Southampton?
That was the signal he was giving to Stellini as his successor.
A slightly positive musing if an old cunt ;The thing I don't understand is, why say that Stellini and Mason are taking over for the rest of the season? Why not just say that are taking charge 'with immediate effect' or something like that? 'For the rest of the season' is surely pretty much confirming that we won't appoint anyone else between now and then. I hope to god that that means we've already got an agreement in place with one of our very top targets and just don't want to implement it yet (for whatever reason), but I fear it means we've not recruited a successor and yet and don't intend to until the season is over, by which point our key targets are likely to have been snapped up elsewhere.
Does anyone have any proposed positive spin on this particular element of the saga?
He's a Spurs fan, academy product, clearly set his sights on a coaching career, knows the club and the hierarchy.Why is Mason a future Spurs manager,I don’t see it.
..."You'll never sing that"Been one of the cheaper sackings this one, the only staff member needing paid off is Conte's brother...
And Stellini loses nothing by staying on. If we manage to secure top 4 he has that as a feather in his cap if he ever goes for another head coach job. If we don't he was just an interim and it was still good experience for him.A slightly positive musing if an old cunt ;
There was absolutely no way that Conte could have kept his job after throwing the board, and more importantly the players under the bus.
I'm assuming that the more senior players would have had their views taken into account re Stellini, meaning that the players would be happier.
Stellini knows he'll only be here until the end of the season and will then reunite with Conte in his next job.
Mason will stay on as coach.
Levy/Paratici will be talking to, and negotiating with potential managers from now, with a view to starting at the end of the season.
They certainly won't wait until the end of the season to start the process.

Nah, there's no way he's keeping them on.I wouldn't say certainly. Knowing Levy, he'll have one eye on how Stellini and Mason do.
Could save a fortune if they win more than they lose.
It should be the norm for the players to follow the coaching staffI commented your post.
There'll be no reaction mate. You know it, I know it and Levy knows it.The carrot of Nagelsmann must have been too much for Levy.
Anyway.....thanks Conte.......don't let the door hit your arse on the way out....
But also thank you Conte for speaking some home truths......let's see what the reaction is.
It's how Martin Jol got the job mate. He didn't do too bad.There’s zero fucking plan with this club. Stellini is only coming in because they don’t know who they want. Summer will be the same once Poch takes another job and we end up with someone utter shit after wasting the whole summer because nobody wants the job.
Can see it coming a mile off.
It should be the norm for managers not to throw the players under a bus in press conferencesIt should be the norm for the players to follow the coaching staff
