    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    He has a clause that he can leave Feyenoord next summer for a limited sum that was set when the contract was signed. There is no such clause for this summer, which means that Feyenoord can ask whatever they want. Of course, it doesn't quite work that way - if Slot really wants to leave, then...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Yes, based on what I have seen from Feyenoord in the last two years, this is exactly the reason why I think we should give Slot the job. Just goes to show that some fans have a much sharper view on the how and the why than many of the professional hacks. As if we didn't know that already. I'm...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Nothing much to report here that hasn't been reported already. De Telegraaf, the country's biggest (populist) newspaper - who are usually ITK about things Ajax and Feyenoord - says that Wednesday will be crunch day, when Slot's agent Rafaela Pimenta (Mino Raiola's successor) meets with...

    New New DoF Poll (The Less Grease More Ethos Edition)

    Interesting news in the Netherlands this morning. Dennis te Kloese, DoF at Feyenoord, claims he has rejected an approach from Spurs to become their DoF. Link here, in Dutch: https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/te-kloese-legt-uit-waarom-hij-tottenham-hotspur-heeft-afgewezen A strange one, because Te Kloese...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    And maybe, for the non-Dutch speakers here - quite a few I suppose: in the clip Alekaras is posting above, the question is asked: "Have you already spoken to Spurs?" Answer: "Next question" (i.e. not "no").

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    More questions for Slot on Spurs at today's press conference before the Feyenoord-Emmen game. Link here, in Dutch: https://nos.nl/artikel/2475689-slot-weigert-nog-steeds-te-praten-over-toekomst-engelse-tv-ploeg-zal-teleurgesteld-zijn Main takeaways: Slot does not want to talk about it at all...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Word here today is that Slot - I'm translating a little literally here - "because he still has two years left on his contract, is not allowed to speak to us himself unless we formally ask Feyenoord for permission". In order for that to happen we would have to show our cards, which is not in our...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    There are calls here to 'spend the club's entire CL windfall on a new contract for Slot'. Yesterday, Slot emphasized that he 'still has a two-year contract', but more as a mantra than as a commitment of any kind. Feyenoord is making the obvious noises in the wake of an unexpected title success...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    And maybe just to add to that: it is very likely that Levy would regard him as a good fit. At Ajax, Ten Hag and his successors have spent very lavishly on players - Tadic and Blind in 2018-19, Klaassen, Bergwijn, Bassey, Berghuis in subsequent summers. They even bought back their own former...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Common knowledge - no. But it's possible for sure. He is quite straight in his communication, which is why talking around a question like the one Dutch journalists are currently asking him about staying or leaving is so unusual. And he knows what he wants: he was sacked by AZ midway through the...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Here in the Netherlands in the last few days, there was persistent talk of Slot joining us. At a high-profile punditry programme, they even asked him about Spurs. He said he would not comment on any speculation right now, certainly not on individual clubs being mentioned. But he did everything...

    Poch to Chelsea still not announced. Any chance that he is still waiting for Levy to change his mind?

    Top 5 Great Games

    For those of us who are not privileged enough to go regularly, it's often a matter of luck - hoping that the games you can attend turn out to be classics. That has its charm too. Looking at the ones I happened to attend (which included many miserable and so-so ones - the recent game against...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    We also still have the likes of Reguilon and Lo Celso on the books, who are not bad players, and may blossom under Poch. From a new manager's point of view, it might just be a very good moment to step in. I voted for Poch, never wanted him to leave in the first place, even before I knew that...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Not so sure about that. With the games at home to Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Liverpool, and the away games to United and to Forest for the League Cup, and the difficulty we had to beat Leeds who were going through a bad spell iirc, it was pretty clear that we were not having that good a season at all. We...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I am just trying to think of games this season in which we did play well. Maybe Brighton away? The second half at home to Liverpool perhaps, and part of the game at home to Leeds. And then Emirates Marketing Project at home, and that's probably it.

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    This is not a bad spell. It has been a bad season, papered over by the occasional fluke result. Even our best results (Frankfurt at home, Marseille away, Chelsea at home) were achieved in games when we did not play well.

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I agree completely. The uncertainty around Paratici is an additional complication for Levy here. You just know that he has texted Poch already to ensure that he is available, as of now or in the summer. But if Levy sacks Conte now, and I hope he does given the kind fixture list that we have...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Reading those Poch comments from 2020 again in our current position, I cannot imagine that Levy will look any further for a new manager should Conte leave in the summer.
