    Guys, for those of you who watch the YT streams, you'll all know the BobSpurTV channel. Bobby's a top, top bloke who I know personally. Earlier this year, he lost his brother to illness, and then a couple of months later lost his mum as well. He had to have open heart surgery too, so he's been...

    FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

    Without meaning to get into a 'no, you're missing the point' back and forth.... you're missing the point. :) The point is that Levy interfered in a footballing matter when we were reliably informed that he wasn't going to do that anymore. Obviously how true that is we can't say for sure, but...

    FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

    That's kind of you to say, old chap. But what I would say in reply is your attention is focused on the specific player, but that's not the point that I'm being critical of. I'm not arguing the merits of whether we should have signed Traore specifically; I'm arguing about the inappropriateness...

    FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

    And, as happened, at the time, some are still confusing what the actual issue was. The issue for me, and most, wasn't that we failed to land Traore - it was the fact that Levy interfered with a decision made by Paratici and Nuno, in contravention of what was suggested would be the case after...

    FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

    It should be noted that Jol's eventual succession was Arnsen's plan, not Levy's. You're right on the fact that Jol wasn't deemed big enough (ironically), but Arnesen and Jol were tight with each other and Jol was encouraged by Arnsen to essentially work around Santini, even giving contradictory...

    FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

    Sorry, Loco, but I'm not having that. I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree. The fans are tangentially responsible for Nuno's sacking, but it was the chants of 'we want Levy out' that stung our chairman. It's also been reported that Paratici had run out of patience, with his reaction to...

    The Manager Search 2: Search Harder

    Posit that idea to the rest of the footballing world and you'd get a very different perspective. Brighton are ten times the club we are right now. They may not have the fanbase or the history, but they are a solid, tightly-knit, exciting side who are liked by pretty much everyone except Crystal...

    Tottenham stars 'unhappy' with Nuno as dressing room mutiny on the cards

    We want to disincentivise mawspurs from posting Football Insider articles. Locking him in Chick King is the opposite of that, unless he's allergic to chicken and chips.

    Spurs reject request to meet with worried supporters over concerns about running of club

    I'm a member of the Trust and I was at the meetings where all this was discussed. They specifically mentioned that they refused to meet and why. The website post specifically said an 'informal' meeting i.e. not minuted.

    Spurs reject request to meet with worried supporters over concerns about running of club

    And as for a reason why the club should meet with the Supporter's Trust - how about they are the only properly constituted organisation that represents the supporter, you know, the supporters that are the ones who ultimately fund the club - those supporters that the ESL shower showed so much...

    Spurs reject request to meet with worried supporters over concerns about running of club

    Again, no they didn't - they refused a meeting where no record of the meetiung was to be kept - contrary to every single meeting they had had with board before.

    Newcastle buyout

    It's not an Arab thing, it's a nouveau riche thing. These regimes are essentially like Lodsamoney, that character Harry Enfield created in the 80s. Recently (in terms of world history) rich and vulgar in their flaunting of it. It just so happens that the place where this wealth bubbled to the...
