I have reservations about McKenna. If we poach him now, then can't help feeling we'd get what we deserved if he proved not to be up to it in the Premier League. No better than Chelsea taking Potter. When we brought in GPot, he'd only really shown some potential.
This is true. I have an inkling though that he might loosen the purse strings a bit one day for a manager who has us going well that he trusts to stick around for a while. Let's face it, De Zerbi's volatility always suggested this would particular relationship would end in tears - and probably...
No concerns at all. I think Bloom will make enough funds available to bolster a brilliant young squad and keep it competitive. What he won't do is pay huge fees for established stars, breaking away from the model that's got the club to this point. That seems to be what De Zerbi expected, judging...
Over a barrel I suppose. RDZ says he'll take a break. Let's see how that pans out. Bottom line I imagine is that no matter what compensation clause you put in a contract, there's simply no point keeping a manager who's not fully committed.
Push on and progress from a top 6 finish? Sure, that would be great - but you could break the bank trying and still end up mid-table if not worse. There are a minimum of 9 clubs with far, far greater resources. We've got a structure that makes us competitive which is an achievement in itself -...
For all the money they’ve spent, can only scrape a 2-1 win against our patched-up team. With our full XI available and on form, would still fancy us to beat them. Happy with that. Played very well considering.
Just when you think you’d get rid of it, Michael Salisbury turns up - the clown that was the VAR at Spurs last season. Incapable of making a correct decision without some help. In games like tonight, you appreciate how VAR has probably levelled the playing field slightly when you’re playing the...
Good to see Dragusin celebrate that clearance so passionately. Despite Sky banging on about the 'strange' match, I don't think it is at all. Spurs' players seem to be up for it. It's just the atmosphere that's strange. They must feel a bit let down by an almost silent crowd. I'd be well peed off...
Any Spurs 'fan' that wants them to lose tonight because it helps Arsenal is pathetic. On current form, there's every chance Palace will beat Villa at the weekend. If so, only Sheffield United would stand between Tottenham and Champions League qualification. Hopefully, those two results will...
This. Going for Ashworth indicated Ratcliffe is aiming to completely restructure the place. Whether they can do it without breaching PSR I'm not sure, but the aim is surely to rip up the squad and start again. Potter's reputation might not satisfy the fans but it'd be surprising if Ashworth's...
I’ve got a feeling Potter will end up there. Maybe Utd are just waiting to get Ashworth through the door. It would seem logical for them to work together again and GP reportedly turning down a club of Ajax’s stature suggests he has something lined up.
Now Enciso has shaken off the rust, you can see just how much we've been harmed by the injuries. Would Newcastle have got a point from that if we had a choice of 4 from a fully fit Enciso, Mitoma, Pedro, March, Welbeck and Ferguson? Seems unlikely.
We're never going to have alternatives of the...
