Right put the kettle on, get comfortable because this is a long read but it is probably the one of the best football articles I have read this year.
The idea of progression and expectation is not just a debate discussed by Spurs fans, so I warn you this is written by a dipper with dipper players used as examples but if you were to do a find and replace with the dipper names and change them to Spurs players he might as well have written the article about Spurs, or any other club for that matter.
I have stuck it in this thread because it covers the topic of progress, what is it and what to expect. It covers every topic of judging a manager on his progress and covers the arguments and expectations that limit the manager, team selection, squad rotation/lack of etc. etc. etc..........Bollocks, if you've got 30 mins just read the fucking thing.
