Horrible, terrible injury that will last the exact length of the international window.

 

some ailments can only be cured by relaxing in the Maldives or wherever the ultra rich go to lounge in the sun

 

Don’t need Rashford when you have Foden, right Gareth?

 

Absolutely adore this man and what a quote this is.

 

Yeah that's a brilliant quote

 

You can see the night and day differences between Konpany’s managerial approach to the lacking cliches of Gerrard and Lamps

 

I mean I almost feel like that vibe could be gathered when all of those guys were playing but I could be wrong there.

 

I think it’s more just the fact that just like in any sport some ex players think they can coach on pure vibes and coast off the excellency of their playing days and other ex players realize what it actually takes to coach successfully

 

It is even something as like me reading that Kompany speaks like 7 languages. That to me is already a sign he is willing to learn something new and not be afraid of a challenge. I understand that multiple languages is more common for Europeans but something as simple as that kind of gives me an outlook for him as a person and as a manager.

 

I get that. Some players exude that energy in a way others definitely don’t. Out of the United squad I’d say two that jump out for me in that regard would be Bruno and Casemiro, Varane perhaps.. I always had the impression Case was a bit of a head case despite being an incredible footballer and that couldn’t have been further from the truth. Do you see anyone in your current squad that fits that bill?

 

I totally see Bruno and Varane from your squad.

If I had to guess probably Gundo and Bernado maybe? I think Gundo is already got some certificates and is helping coach in our youth setup. Then maybe one of the CB's, could totally see Dias but that is a bit easy prediction as I am kind of going with the Kompany formula there.

 

Are we playing Spurs soon ffs

 

We’ve fired four managers in four years. Levy has to get this right because this is ridiculous.

 

Ryan Mason expected to takeover for remainder of season.

But also wouldn’t be surprised if Poch is named shortly after Conte is gone.

 

We drastically needed to rebuild, which Poch had warned us about, and our moves were Jose and Conte, two managers that are the opposite of what you want for a rebuild. The taste of the CL final got in Levy’s head and he thought we were ready to be at the top. Clearly we are not.

Hire Poch who actually likes being at Tottenham and will develop the young players, let him have more control, and just be patient lol

 

The Athletic podcast today was saying the board at Spurs don’t want to go for Poch as they realise the optics make it look like either a regression or an admission they were wrong all along

 

Yeah, it’s not going to be Poch. Would be shocked if it was. I keep seeing Tuchel’s name pop up in many different places. Idk. I just want someone that actually wants to be here and is adaptable.

 

Do reunions in football ever go well? Feels like it always ends in tears.

 

@crystalpalacefc

 

I mean, they were.

 

This was pretty accurate, it turns out

 

They’re going down

 

Heynckes at Bayern 2011-2013 wasn't too bad I think.

 

Really sorry for your loss, hope you're ok
