After a long, hard and ultimately disappointing season for Tottenham Hotspur, we have a busy summer in store now as we look to both sort out our managerial situation as well as strengthen the group via the transfer market – as massive question being Harry Kane’s own future.
Whilst we’ll hopefully have our new manager in within a few weeks (or maybe our old manager given the Mauricio Pochettino rumours) it’s unlikely much will happen on a transfer front until we see the culmination of this summers European Championship competition.
In a world still dealing with Covid, personally, I think international football is slightly ridiculous at this moment in time, but money makes the world go round doesn’t it – Spurs fans will however have a natural interest in the tournament given the players and former players that should be on show.
If nothing else it’ll be a distraction for a few weeks – so anything Euro related can go in here VSers.
Niall….I would happily take Mancini over anyone not named Pochettino. 🙂
TQ I’d take either, currently.
We are in a real pickle.
Will Nuno be a no-no, nano, Nunu or nana? Or will be be the answer to all our prayers so we can fall in love with Levy?
Must see

ww,
should Daniel hire Nuno Espirito Santo, I suspect it will be a bit difficult to recruit world class players from coming Spurs, so we will stumble along until Poch can arrive, if he still want to. This clearly will not bring about a love fest with Daniel. We know we could do worse than the Holy Ghost–we already had our year and a half with Mourinho.
Breaking Bad!
I mean Breaking News…
Spurs are set to announce the long awaited appointment of their new Head Coach on Monday 28th June.
He is the young, dynamic but controversial coach, recently fired from the Dog and Hare pub (Watford) 2nd Eleven..
It’s….. Billy Burkinshaw!
Welcome to Spurs, Billy Boy. You’ve nothing to lose, but your dignity and your pride…
Discuss….
I suppose I could get angry, like a lot of Spurs supporters are at this time.
But when I see headlines, articles and reports, that we are about to sign a mystery “unnamed” player, but only as long as our (invisible and unnamed) new head coach approves of him. Then I can only find the whole damn affair, bloody hilarious…
Unnamed players? Unseen managers? Goes well with all our non-existent trophies, don’t you think?!
I’m still miffed that we missed out on Jack Grealish when Levy would not pay £25 million. He is now sought after by Man C. at £ 100 million. Typical Levy.
Just for the record a deal was done for Grealish, he was excited to come to Spurs, but the new regime who took over said to Levy n Spurs he is not for sale, simple as that, the rest as one says is history.
HT,
the recent ride has been so crazy that I no longer can differentiate between proffered sarcasm and reasonable reporting. The new stadium is going to be converted into a Pentacostal Church on alternate Saturdays? I’d bite. Sol Campbell to be the new manager after becoming a pastor? I’d bite. I’d be organizing the resistance before it dawned on me that such would be implausible. We’ve already seen the Holy Spirit as a serious candidate.
No guarantee jack G would of turned into the same player he is now, he many not have developed as he had with villa with less pressure etc, bigger pressure for a top4 club he may have faded into the easy lifestyle the spurs players like to have and it would of been another waste of money by levy.
Watched the Italy game tonite, what can I say, it was almost like a Poch team versus, a Mourinho team for large swathes of the game, the Austrians nearly took it at one stage, but Mancini finally woke up and put his better players on. I suppose we can look at it two ways,
It’s the first decent team Italy have faced and we’re struggling
Or I suppose having won 30 in a row you’re entitled to one poor game, but still get the result, you decide.
I’d still take Mancini for manager tho’
This is what we have become reduced to: deciding on a daily basis whether or not we would accept the daily name on offer as Spurs manager.
Mancini. okay we’d take him.
Gattuso, no, hell no.
Espirito Santo, well, okay, I guess, but with a boat load of genuflections that he won’t be a thorough embarrassment.
God help us. Either accept the job as Spurs manager, please, God, or strike down in wrath the one who has put us in this position and name you Son as manger. Jesus, we could use a miracle right about now.
Mind you TK, we listened to you on an almost daily basis for a year and a half wanting Mourinho out,
So we’re not to talk about prospective managers or prospective players,
Nice weather we’re having for the time of year. 😉😊
My point Niall, was that we are bombarded on a daily basis with a new prospective manager, but never with a new manager. The daily arrival of news of each new prospective manager is met my an outpouring of yeas and nays by supporters, only to recede as a new name arrives the next day. The process is beginning to feel like the theatre of the absurd, a sort of waiting for Godot, who of course can never arrive because he in likelihood never exists.
Thus I requested “God help us.” Perhaps we can settle on a final choice for manager if God Himself is named our new manager. If not God the Senior, at least God the Son can be named the new Spurs manager. Jesus, that would be the miracle we need to escape the current pergugory.
Fixing the Spurs should be child’s play for God in comparison with his long standing project of calling for Peace on Earth. Indeed, we may not need the Father or his companion, the Holy Spirit. He can send his Son. He’s said to have done this sort of thing before. The project was cut short after 33 years–a short time in God’s time– but some sort of resurrection of the project was started, but was cut short after only three days. That’s a lot longer, however, than is the average news story of a new flesh and blood Spurs manager.
As for the Mourinho departure–I still am giving thanks in my daily moments of prayer. It took a while to exorcise that demon. But thanks I give for the success of the exorcism.
As the the weather, I’m enjoying the temperate temperature of the tropical winter in Pernambuco. It’s 27 degrees now with a hint of light winter mist in the air. Might hit 30 degrees tomorrow. Nice weather for the time of the year.
It has gone quiet on the managerial front in the last couple of days – it makes me think something is about to happen in the next day or two. I wonder who the poor muppet will be. Once appointed we move on to the circus of buying and selling players. Believe me, this will take the club to a new level of incompetence.
Similar over here TK a warm yet windy 23° but unusually for here we’re promised a good week.
Back to football, with the Euros all we can expect at the moment, I suppose, is speculation.
As I said I trust/hope if we do sign a player, it would be on his league form rather than 3 good games in the Euros plus I hope we don’t get hit for top dollar payments on the back of a good Euro performance.
See Sissoko and Dumitrescu (spelling).
We have been stung before.
Wish we were being linked to Renato Sanchez rather than his Portugal midfield partner.
TQ hard to judge players when they play for their country on the big stage, compared to week in week out at club level, some play above their limits and would never reach that at club level week in week out. Def going to be interesting who we sell and buy.
123….he offers something we don’t have, he can carry the ball forward from deeper midfield and frightens the crap out of the opposition doing so, makes a change from the sideways and backwards progress that we usually make. A midfiels three of Hojbjerg, Sanchez and Ndombele would put the sh*ts up anyone! 🙂
True point, didn’t realise he was the guy on loan with Swansea and didn’t do to good, so maybe he has improved and def an upgrade on what we have.
