    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    Perhaps not forced to from a pure financial perspective (though we would need to make some extremely serious cuts). However, in the event of relegation I think most of our players would want out. These days it is difficult keeping players who don't want to remain at a football club. Remember...

    Season Ticket Renewal Talk

    Even if we stay up I don't think we will sell out of ST's next season. If we go down then I suspect we'd be able to close the top tier of the stadium for most games. With the challenge to revenues we'll face in event of relegation it might be sensible for the club to offer something like 3...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    It wasn't I agree.... but we did get to a point last season where we put all of our eggs in the Europa League basket and that was a sensible decision because the upside was massive and the downside was tiny (we were never in any potential relegation bother). I saw things under Ange that at...

    This is what concerns me

    That is why a few of us were so invested in the club getting rid of Frank sooner. It was evident a long while back that he hadn't developed any patterns of play that allowed us to progress the ball and create chances. The only times that we didn't look abject was when the players sacked off...

    Still self preservation though.

    ENIC

    I suspect he is now in full self preservation mode. He knows he has fudged up in both his recommendation of manager and the (lack of) strengthening in the transfer window and is now trying to pull out soundbites that he hopes will keep him in a job come this summer.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Remember that footballers are just human beings who are just coming into work and doing their job. In any work situation there will be some people who are all in no matter what and others that need to be motivated. The leadership of any group is extremely important. When a group of people are...

    Archie Gray

    Silly booking that. Left him on a knife edge for the rest of the game. You need to ensure you're not booked for stupid things like or taking your shirt off so that you are still free to make a tactical foul and not get sent off later in the game. I hope Tudor and the coaching staff talk to...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I predicted this lot a little while back (I boarded the "we're rather likely to get relegated" train early!) Sales: Vicario - £15m (Italian club) Dragusin - £15m (Italian club) Romero - £50m Spanish club VDV - £55m (Liverpool) Porro - £30m (top 6 PL club or Spanish club) Udogie - £20m (Italian...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I bet we haven't got a relegation clause in any player's contract (which is bad for us as they usually also include a pay reduction).

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    I suspect a combination of wages (we didn't want to pay that much) and power (we didn't want to cede that much).

    Next Manager Thread (2026 Edition)

    I think it is unfair to put Bodo's success down to their pitch only. Yes, they have an advantage at home but they also get some great results away from home. They are clearly a brilliantly coached team. I was seriously impressed with the way that they progressed the ball against us earlier...

    This is what concerns me

    IMO we need at least a point against Fulham. It's not the actual 1 point that we need, it is just something to break the sequence of losses. A point against Fulham takes a tiny bit of pressure off of the next home game. Lose to Fulham though and I think the combination of confidence being so...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Raya is better than Vic by a country mile. He does absolutely everything better than Vicario does. It is a shame that the hierarchy at Spurs considered £30m too expensive for a proven, PL goalkeeper a few years ago. The fact that we'll end up spending far more than that to (possibly) find a...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Indeed, I'm sure that fans of every team see their keeper make some fantastic saves. I don't think Vic is an outlier here at all. His shot stopping ability (which I'd say is somewhere between average and good at PL level) doesn't get anywhere close to making up for his considerable weaknesses...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    I don't think you can play three at the back with all three centre backs being poor users of the ball. If we are to play with 3 centre backs then I think we need at least two of them to be good passers, otherwise the opposition can just let them have the ball and sit off to ensure they are...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Considering who we have available and back soon and Tudor's preference for a 3-4-3 type formation I think this could perhaps work: -----------------Vic (unfortunately) ---------Gray---------Romero---------VDV Porro----------Palhinha-----Gallagher-------------Souza...
