Yeah I thinks he enjoys the ambassadorial side rather than the stressful rigours of coaching.

I think it's just horses for courses. He has strengths and weaknesses like us all.
Think he got man of the match too at RB. Good to see him have success now that he's been given games. Seems to have taken Mears' place at RB.
Coincidentally, Mears replaced Yedlin at Seattle after we signed him.

I'm not criticizing him. He just likes what he likes. Plus as fans it's nice because he's always out and about at Spurs related events.

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting you were being critical. I don't think it's necessarily what he likes though. It could be that he doesn't have the attributes and personality to be a coach and is much better suited to his current role.

I wonder if Trevor Duberry is any relation to Michael?
Also I played Futsal with and against Aaron Cato a few years ago and he's one of the most skilful players I've been on the pitch with. Glad to see he's stayed in the game in some capacity.

Yes, is he in a picture somewhere?
Just saw him on OS .Are we expecting development squad to be cut at all,it's pretty large numbers wise .
Great clips cheers.TOB is so dembele like it's freaky.And Eyoma looks class .The one for me is Roles ,it's said a lot about others but he does remind me of a young gerrard just his build and the way he arrives in the box.Really exciting crop of kids .

On the coaches list it lists Scott Parker as the main Under 18s coach. Big shout giving him that role isn't it???

What competitions are the development/academy squads involved in this season?
U23 Development League
Checkatrade Trophy
UEFA Youth League
U18 Premier League
FA Youth Cup
Any others I'm missing?
That will be a lot of games. I cant see many of the development squad being sent out on loan.

with the 1st year intake we'll have around 20 in the u18s and then around another 20(even accounting for loans) in the u23s so we should be fine.

Not really I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd walked straight into a managers job.
