Straightforward lie
They really do treat us like a bunch of fucking mugs.
If he wants to come to Tottenham to build something worthwhile as he appears to be saying, then pay him what it takes, get behind him and let him get on with on it. I think he's exactly what our players need. 112 international caps and/or a fast start in management might not necessarily mean much in isolation, but he's gone from winning on the pitch to winning off it without seeming to break stride. He should have their immediate respect. From FdB's side he would inherit a young, undoubtably talented squad with which to establish a coherent system where players roles are clearly defined to themselves and to each other. That obviously hasn't been the case this season, but why shouldn't he bring that about pretty quickly? They are good players, he's a good coach/manager who knows how he wants his teams to play. It's only my opinion of course, but it just feels like a good match.
If the rumours are true, and he is going to talk to the club, Levy will have to convince him that the board will back him in trying to taking us forward. If he can, which might not be easy, and he does commit to Tottenham, then I confidently predict 7 years of unbroken success, culminating in our Champions League victory (after 3 titles and 4 FA Cups) beating Real Madrid 4-1 in the Bernabau, (Bale 2 o.g.) in the 2022 final. That ain't gonna happen either.

Not sure how reliable this is but:
Imagine how sick it would make the scum feel if Bergkamp was our assistant manager. I don't know how happy I would be though, supposedly a spurs fan though?

De Boer should take over at Spurs and hand Ajax over to Bergkamp.
Sorry to piss on the circle-jerk here - but how is this man any better than AVB?
Young, largely unproven hipster kind who's been desperately trying to drum-up (potentially non-existent?) interest from a PL club?
Didn't we establish the club needs a proven, experienced name with solid track record and an actual spine, as opposed to the latest coat-wearing youngster whom we'd want sacked after 2 losses and a draw anyway?
Not my first choice by a long shot although far better than Pocchetino, imv - granted

Maybe he isn't better then AvB, but he is very different imo.
• AvB won the Portuguese League in his first and only season. (Cup and UEFA final as well)
• FdB:
- won the Eredivisie 4 times ... In a row.
- 2 times KNVB Cup
- 2 times the Johan Cruijf cup
- Is actually a well respected footballer.
- Knows how to use Eriksen and Verts at best.

Plus, during the 2010 World Cup, he was the assistant of the Netherlands national football team under Bert van Marwijk - they had 100% win rate until they finished 2nd...
We have a better one, mateI'd take Pochettino. Look at that for a player-coach relationship.

As well as the fact he worked with youth as well, knows how to develop players.
Coping with the loses of Eriksen and Vertonghen with academy products is very impressive, no matter what league you are in.
The problem is, can anyone think of a proven, experienced name that is available and would be interested in taking the job at this point that WE would actually be interested in as well? I can't really disagree that there are more experienced managers out there, but I just don't know who else would be in our sights.
He has kicked a football in his time. For me he starts a better place then AVB on the road to coaching maturity. He has to be better, if not the short time, over the longer period.
The guy has a reputation for playing sexy football, and his Ajax side has routinely upset powerhouse sides in the CL season after season.
Good enough for me, and that's before figuring his relationship with Eriksen and Vertonghen.
