    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Lange evolved into a data driven football person. Let's be fair to him. In 2009 he started a coaching career and was mostly tagged as an assistant manager for many years. He did the hard yards in coaching way before the recent transition to building these database of players. He is more than...

    Next seasons squad

    Admittedly, I don't know too much about Senesi but you would have to believe he would join because he's a first eleven player. Otherwise, as a free agent and 29 years old, you would find a place where you play. Also, play out the scenario that Romero leaves. Where is he going and for how much...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    But how do you remove roles and responsibilities of an acting CEO before you remove the actual person? Surely, up to that point Levy is in control of all decisions. He's too smart just to step aside, especially as a true financial stakeholder himself. I guess we will never know.

    Next seasons squad

    Yep, the better question is how do you keep them both happy when you only have domestic football and Spence is no longer utilised as a LB? Ditto with Romero, VDV, Danso, Senesi and Vuskovic which I've seen in some scenarios? Each season poses it's own unique challenges. RDZ seems to be all...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Nope, I think Levy's thought process was "why can other clubs go for so many seasons with one manager when we can't?". That became the shift in thinking so he had a look around and saw Frank as the strongest candidate. Previously, e.g Eddie Howe, he would have just dismissed Eddie as not being...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    I can't substantiate this but I think the Frank appointment was a Levy fixation and call, more than a Lange blind spot for his fellow countryman. It was yet another example of Levy not acknowledging his own lack of football operational DNA but overpowering his team to go with what he felt was...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think most people know I would always give massive credit to Ange for winning that cup. Our club needed that and he delivered it. Fair play. I've also said I would have loved him to just adopt one philosophy across league and cups for the final third of season regardless of the eleven that...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    What's also being forgotten is that we got more points this season. This season was unprecedented in the amount of points you could have and still finish 18th. You didn't have the comfort blanket of knowing that there were 3 awful teams who were getting relegated and every game from about March...

    Transfer thread

    Personally, I don't think either will be big difference makers to Spurs. I think you called out a player that perhaps could though. That is Ndiaye. Last season I called out Joao Gomes as one that would have made a massive difference to Spurs. I still stand by that.

    Transfer thread

    Just shows that these managers aren't grounded in reality and think money grows on trees. They say what needs to be said in their interview to get the big fat salary and then play the blame game on their employers forever after. All we need is a manager who understands what it means to take the...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I just hope RDZ works to the conditions that were set out when he accepted the role. It would have been clear what sort of budgets he would be working under and what our transfer strategy and process is. He would have known what empowerment he had within that overall structure which should all...

    Cristian Romero

    I think it is a massive shame that we would have to move a player on because of PGMOL. I would rather our club act on those reasons and hit Howard Webb's team with everything we've got. That should start today with a public statement of discontent on our official website today and a request for...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    With RDZ in charge, I think we have reasons to become optimistic about next season.

    The we are staying up thread

    Shouldn't this thread be renamed "We stayed up"?

    *** The official 2025/26 Premier League thread ***

    It feels good to be staying in the PL. I still think we should put the very public formal complaint into the government regulatory body, the FA and the PL about PGMOL though. I think we need to hit them very hard in these next few days. If we had been relegated, it would have been positioned...

    Cristian Romero

    With captains, I'm way more into the part of the role that is on the field. The bit we can see. For me, Cuti is way more of an effective on-pitch captain than Sonny was. He also plays in one of the best positions to be a captain. Take the EL final last May. Danso and Sonny came off the bench...

    Cristian Romero

    There is a massive psychology difference here between the 2 players though. Davies has been unavailable for team selection consistently over a 5 year period through injury and even when fit knows he is most likely on the bench. He is also in the twilight of his career and with that comes...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Because I didn't realise it would actually come out as his name. I thought it would have been like Ghod, Sexy and all the other auto-replacements we have. One of the mods needs to get that changed pronto.

    Cristian Romero

    I guess you have to ask the question whether all boxes can be ticked by Romero. I completely understand that the international team and winning the world cup is way more important than his club side. When you think about it logically, it absolutely should be even for the English who have been...
