    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Potter was the outstanding candidate in the summer. I can only think that Poch's sudden availability threw Levy on a complete red herring which bizarrely then seemed to cause a reaction of appointing a DofF having previously indicated that they didn't need one. Potter not only seems an...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Although Nuno was a Mendes client none of the players we signed in the summer, or even many of those we were linked with, were in Mendes' stable. I don't think he holds any power within the club.

    The Game Is About Glory - A Bad Plan, Poorly Executed

    Last Word on Spurs' USP is that they're usually the first to record to drop but unless I see that Jason McGovern is on its just a load of ranting and knee jerking. Hope you'll get more out of us though and Kenneth Branagh's cameo at the start will set the tone!!

    Harry Kane MBE

    It strikes me that over the last 2 years Kane's relationship with the club appears to have become more of a transactional one than a relationship of deep rooted feeling and emotion. i.e. you pay me well and I'll score lots of goals for you. He's felt like Harry Kane the World Class Striker...

    Next Manager?

    This is a really interesting point - I remember Sherwood was announced just as Arsenal v Chelsea kicked off on a Monday Night game! I thought at the time it was Levy way of trying to steal their limelight but probably it was to sweep it under the carpet?!

    Next Manager?

    Purely from a PR/Comms perspective today (Tuesday) would be a good day for the announcement - enough time has passed since the England match on Sunday. Tomorrow morning is fixture release day and by Thursday it will be the build up to England v Scotland which will then dominate coverage Friday...

    The Game Is About Glory - Danny...Danny Rose

    Glad you enjoyed the pod. I think the difference between Rose/Kane interview is the timing. Kane's exasperation was largely all shared by the fans. Rose's interview in 2017 came just weeks after we'd recorded our 86 point season, had just come off an emotional high after the WHL season and I...

    I don't buy the FA Cup gives you momentum argument - teams either win it because they've got such a great and deep squad that they can deal with a sustained cup run - or they win the cup at the expense of league form and progression - Look at Woolwich - 4 FA Cup wins since 2014 yet they've got...

    Next Manager?

    I know very little of ZZ and his motivations but he doesn't strike me as a 'Project Manager' who's going to drop even to the relative depths of a Sevilla or Villareal. I would say that PSG, Juventus or Bayern are probably the clubs he'll next end up at.

    Next Manager?

    Of course we will never know the in's and out's. However, I'm sure Santini was appointed and was expected to be in role for far longer than he was. Therefore, Jol taking over when he did was a reaction to an unexpected event. It's funny that Santini's appointment followed a 9 month process from...

    Next Manager?

    Under ENIC 9 permanent managers have been appointed (though I have included Sherwood who was given an 18-month contract but we all suspected it was a glorified Caretaker appointment). Three have been Summer (off-season) changes - Santini, AVB and Poch. The other six have, have been mid-season...

    Next Manager?

    I get the feeling that there has been a thorough process in place that from mid-April until about a week ago had gradually whittled down candidates - of which the conclusion was that whilst all have their credentials there probably wasn't an ideal candidate. Then some dialogue has taken place...

    Harry Kane MBE

    Every single professional footballer and especially those playing at the highest level possess infinite amounts of 'winning mentality' - the single minded focus to break into what amounts to about 5% of their peers who even make it into the elite funnel is incredible. From that point onwards...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    What's the saying....football is the most important unimportant thing in the world? I'm mildly embarrassed that as a 40 year old with good job, education, house and lovely family that I was still awake at 3am with all this going through my head and still can't shake it off!

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    Sorry to bring you down even further and into the darkest corners of my imagination but I am quite frankly dreading Sunday afternoon - I genuinely think 23/5/2021 is going to go down as one of the most humbling days in our recent history....it will be the culmination of 2 years of significant...

    It's happening. Why must it always happen in the most heartbreaking manner imaginable on the final day of the season?

    PODCAST - The Game Is About Glory - I Can See You

    It was exactly that summer. The only reservation I've ever had about signing Bergkamp was whether he'd have been a compatible strike partner for Teddy who ostensibly fulfilled the same function. In fairness Armstrong and Teddy scored nearly 50 goals between them in 95/96.

    PODCAST - The Game Is About Glory - I Can See You

    Hi Dave, do you know that was my initial thought but I decided I couldn't mention a Woolwich Wanderer! I was just about able to distinguish between him as a Woolwich player and as a Dutch player - that goal he scored against Argentina in World Cup '98 remains one of the best I have ever seen.

    European Super League - Dead on arrival

    My instinct here is that I'm appalled by the proposal and as a traditionalist I don't want us to be involved. I'd far prefer that we return to a European Cup for Champions only, 3pm Saturday kick off's and no unnecessary wearing of change strips! However, lets wait to see the detail. I get the...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2020/21

    My reading is that the FAC SF the week before will just be local residents, Brent Council workers etc. I suspect not many of these will be supporters of Leicester or Southampton (which is probably why they chose this game rather than Chelsea v Man C). However, that report in The Guardian...
