Next Manager?

there it was!
 
Yep, that's what I saw.
The first one there should be no problem with. He's actually very restrained there.
The second, shaky ground. But back when he said it, of course, contextually the culture of the game, profile of women in football was not as far along as it is now, only a few years later.
 
What’s with this faux outrage lifestyle these days? “Unacceptable and wrong” for someone to have a different opinion to me lol embarrassing.

I just pasted the tweet - I dont know what that guy has seen!

still shouldnt be our manager given his crap record
 
Not even Levy is this dumb. In the end, he'll have the final say. He won't just sanction anyone. Gattuso - it's just not happening. It has to be agent gonads from Mendes. We're not this fudging dumb.

Don't want to turn this into a different discussion, and not saying Gattuso necessarily are these things - but being racist, misogynistic and homophobic has no place anywhere in the year 2021 - it's got fudge all to do with opinions. It's about very basic respect for fellow human beings.

Complete mess isnt it? If we walk away from Gattuso, then presumably we start from scratch again if we've said no to Fonseca

I don't think that either are compatible with being Tottenham manager and the club's previous support of women's football and Proud Lilywhites. You can't have a bigot as the face of a company that supposedly supports diversity

I can see us walking away from Fonseca if we have someone "better" lined up, but Gattuso? It just can't be real. Levy simply can't afford the fan backlash.

No worries, I should have been clearer I wasn’t complaining about you :) Just this culture of getting attention by being constantly “outraged”. I don’t understand it.

Anyway, don’t want to derail the thread!

For me personally, I just want a manager that seems to care about the club…I don’t know if that’s Gattuso, but it def wasn’t Mourinho and Mason is a really nice guy but seemed primarily focussed on not looking out of place.

right, but if we walk away from gattuso now, as we should, then I guess we're starting from scratch again. Can't see why fonseca would want to come to Spurs now if we've already said no to him

And wait for the next wanabee on T wa TT er to post another crock of brick to get the natives all wound up again.
 
It's less so the manager that's the problem but more the total lack of plan, I thought the DOF provides a structure that puts in a certain style of playing and signs players and coaches to match it. Fonseca and Gattuso don't strike me from what I know of playing the same type of football.

If Gattuso comes in then can anyone really believe he's going to stay for 3/4 years building up a nice squad with the aim of competing at the top end.

I agree 100%. But my confusion is the enthusiasm many Twitter users have to claim people are guilty of those things even when they are not…

But anyway, sure there’s another thread I can find for this :)

Yeah, I reckon he's gone. Supposedly in talks with Fiorentina now.

I sure hope we pull ten Haag or Potter out of the hat.
 
It's what gattuso does. He's as reliable a figure of 'casual fascism' as Richard bloody littlejohn is here. His favourites are:
- calling out black players who have been racially abused, telling them to 'man up' and there's no such thing as racism in Italy
- a woman's place is in the home, not the football pitch
- Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve type comments on gay marriage

Just wait till British journalists start translating some of his historic comments over the next day or two
