    Next Manager?

    The last couple of games and his general demeanour suggest to me that the camp is not yet mutinous and that Jose can still get a reaction out of them. I think Levy will be concerned by the overall showings this year though.

    Fixture & Ticket News 2020/21

    I'd imagine that's exactly what will happen - after all there's barely any gaps so yes I'm sure we'll now play Villa that weekend - it will follow Europa R16 second leg which hopefully we'll be in. It looks like w/c 2 March is a free midweek so wonder if we'll play Southampton then instead...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    You make some really important points - as ever the devil is in the detail and you also have to try and recall some of the circumstance and context around each situation. I've tried to pick up some of these within the retrospective narratives for example under AVB the style of football was dire...

    Next Manager?

    Great point....you see this with England managers and to an extent Prime Minister's - the person selected is often the one with the attributes the predecessor did not have. We're certainly no exception to this: Mourinho replaced Poch....who lacked experience of winning trophies and one-off...

    Next Manager?

    All managers carry a degree of uncertainty and risk. Generally the worst managers we've appointed have been those without any prior experience of the Premier League (Gross, Santini, Ramos) - Jol was the only exception though he had a minimal playing career in England. I actually went to bed...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    Following last night's result we have now gained 9 points from 10 games and thus recording 0.9 pts per game. This has been our worst return over a 10-game league period since April 2012 (the 'mind the gap' period under Harry). Going back through all ENIC managers' records - it has happened...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    Cheers @mkspurs - I've added in their appointment date to get a feel for how long into tenure they were. If I'd gone back before that you'd have to consider that the 1-6 home defeat to Chelsea in his first home game began Christian Gross' Lame Duck period! Prior to that Gerry Francis lost the...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    PART 2... Harry Redknapp appointed October 2008, sacked Summer 2012) Harry is something of an outlier in this list as he is the only one who was replaced during the off-season which perhaps dilutes his appearance on a lame duck manager list. Clearly there came a point that Levy felt Redknapp...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    Sorry - this is far too long for a thread but gather there is no longer a blog feed. In need of some cathartic reflection last night I have explored when Levy has pulled the trigger on previous managers. With just 9 points from the last 9 games Jose is getting perilously close.... I’ve always...

    Next Manager?

    This is a far more immediate situation than I'd have entertained 24 hours ago. However, the smart money is on Jose staying for the rest of the season at least. As much as we despised George Graham I think even his biggest critic feels that he would have been best placed to lead us in the Semi...

    Next Manager?

    Its as much about the type of manager as it is the individual. I can see the logic in the Jose appointment; this was a squad with most of its players at their peak that needed a new message to get over that final hurdle. It wasn't the moment to bring someone in who would rip up the current...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    As per the comments on this twitter feed - this picture is a best inconclusive - it doesnt actually prove that he handled the ball outside of the area as we can't be sure where the contact with the hand first occurs and remember the line is the area so if he touches the ball when it is hovering...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    I'm a big believer in stats and they certainly tell a story but devil is in the detail with this particular one... Of the top half sides we've played at home - Man C, Liverpool, Leicester, Everton, Woolwich, West Ham.......we were ahead within the first 15 minutes in 3 of these games (Man C...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    On further reflection I was happy with the first half. We created good chances for Son which 4 weeks ago he'd have scored and on another day been shown to be onside. I didnt feel Liverpool possessed any particular threat - yes they overran midfield but we defended the box well. The paradox to...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    Hard to imagine how last night could have been any worse (bar Liverpool going on to score another 3 goals at the end). Firstly, let me just regurgitate my usual trite about 'fine margins' - it may seem irrelevant and trivial with hindsight of seeing what panned out but Sonny's goal stands...

    The Game Is About Glory

    Well done Podders....a really good listen and actually quite refreshing to listen to some well considered Spurs chat not about the immediate hear and now of the most recent match. I was really impressed with the range of seasons covered in this episode. 1981/2 and 86/7 were just before my time...
