Hey, if you think this is the right way forward for our club, that's your perogative.

For me, when you add this to his casual defence of Greenwood ('a good guy who has paid a heavy price') then I find myself strongly hoping we don't wander down that path.

Is there a successful football head coach/manager out there that isn't an egotistical self-confident, arrogant c*untface?

Saying that, one of the articles you posted: "the players feel the times they arrive for training are under constant observation"....so he pulls up players for beimg late for work....what a bastard...

The victim statement with the audio and video and text is enough to know how vile he is. He needs to repent and show remorse. The moment we condone this behavioir the incel culture continues to flourish. And thst culture is a danger to our society at the same level as Islamic extremism in my view.

Incel culture

Im guessing you'd have also wanted Ferguson out of our club for kicking a boot at a players head?

We are talking about an industry entirely dominated by alpha males outside of a handful of athletic writers and YouTubers…..this guy is too much. Make it make sense.

If you're OK with him potentially being our manager, that's your opinion and good for you. I have mine, and good for me.

Mate.
I don't like him.
I never have.
I think he projects as a massive c unt.
My opinion.
Sharing it with this forum.
You obviously disagree.
Great. All good.

As for Ferguson, I think what he did with Beckham in that moment was very poor. I think what he did with the young players he had for many many years (and how he treated everyone at Man Utd) was exceptional. Based on his history, I would absolutely give Fergie a pass. So yeah , you've got me wrong on that one.

Gazza?

 

[tommysvr]

What about if his standard was also losing 22 league games, would that help sway you?

Well done carl, as ever you wildly miss the whole point.

 

[thfcsteff]

Gazza?

As interim manager? Not a chance mate, sadly mentally-ill and far too unstable.

 

[tommysvr]

Ok mate. Minds made up. I get it.

Yes? My mind is very fudging made up. I don't want people like him at Spurs. I don't think he's a good manager either.

But you're the guy who has seemingly spent his Sunday arguing about this with strangers on the internet.

Come on you understand the question. He’s a hero of yours just like most of us and the accusations against him are not only stronger than Greenwood, he’s the actual culprit.

Had Walter Smith got the job over George Graham in 1998 would this be the reaction?

 

[thfcsteff]

We are talking about an industry entirely dominated by alpha males outside of a handful of athletic writers and YouTubers…..this guy is too much. Make it make sense.

Oh dear.
Really?
So being tough, demanding discipline, wanting structure, demanding high standards, raising a voice and working hard/insisting on hard work and general standards is all about being an 'alpha male' is it? Can you not be/expect any of those qualities and attitudes without being an 'alpha male'?

Do you really believe that? Do really believe that only 'Alpha males' get to show strength? Wow.

See, here's what I believe. You can be ALL of those things, NOT be an 'alpha male' and most importantly, not be a c unt. It's a simple concept to grasp.
Guardiola. Klopp. Southgate. Pochettino. All examples of tough, uncompromising managers/coaches who demanded standards and laid down hard terms. Their working environments not only responded positively, they speak highly of these men in all senses. Safe to assume they are not c unts. Or Athletic writers or youtubers for that matter.

I understood implication, always better if you just ask the question though.

And I am also not into suddenly having to answer to everyone's moral fudging compass because they disagree with an opinion I expressed over a C UNT like De Zerbi.

Gazza is not a huge hero of mine in fairness. Of course I love what he did for us, but my Tottenham Heroes are (as players) Glenn Hoddle, Chris Hughton and Dele Alli.
I'll answer your initial question regardless. His actions with regards to his ex-wife are wholly reprehensible, and he should have served jail time for sure. I find that his admission of guilt and subsequent attempt to get treatment for his illnesses and demons have somewhat softened my attitude towards him, albeit I do not want him working at the club and I will always find his behaviour beyond reproach and reprehensible to the core.

Football specifically is an extreme alpha male environment. As are most forms of elite sport and the behaviour of your average footballer, along with the way coaches interact with them would not be acceptable in most modern work places.

Appreciate the response.Respectfully, I think DeZerbi is a top coach and I am excited for him to be our manager.

He may eventually break the dressing room but its just not realistic to except a coach to stick around for more than 2 seasons now anyway. Every single club he’s been to he’s improved and the club has played attacking possesion football in different formations.

Critically for me, he has also shown an ability to get players not known for being highly technical to improve and contribute to a team that plays that way. A perfect example would be Hojbjerg, deemed not the right fit for Ange due to his technically limitations, he rankes very high in passing stats during DeZerbis time at Marseille.

I think you're missing my point on your observation.

If he becomes our next coach (I hope not) I believe he will prove to be a devisive and highly over-reactionary presence. My football hypocrisy will force me to grudgingly bear witness to it, in the hope that he would bring some success to the club.

So we have taken a week to part ways with Tudor (albeit for a very good reason) but during that time we have failed to line up his replacement, and our desperation for a quality replacement is now playing out publicly, throwing even more shame and ridicule on the club and the manner in which it is run.

We have become an absolute pariah for any self-respecting manager, which is incomprehensible considering the size and history of the club.

Not sure what the Lewis family are waiting for at this point but the current incumbents in charge simply cannot be allowed to continue any longer.

This is a ppint I made on the pod too; who is going to look at the people 'in charge' and feel any sense of support or 'plan'? It's shambolic.

It’s insane isn’t it.

Every time I think it can’t get any worse, it finds a way of mocking my reasoning.

There is nobody from within who has an inkling of what it means to be Tottenham, and everyone from outside would rather watch it all burn down instead of running in to save us.

We can’t even attract the likes of Sean Dyche for Christ’s sake.

Heads must roll.
