cos apart from the financial state (which is important, I know) I'm struggling to find a positive. We seem to have:
* A manager who doesn't know if he'll still be in charge day-to-day who, in that, position cannot properly demand the respect of the players/give players a dressing-down when they're under-performing.
* No captain. No-one on the field to kick players up the a*se when they need it. No-one to carry out the managers orders on the pitch. Hell, no-one to even rally the troops to play for them, the club and the fans even if they've lost support for the manager.
* Players who are either not just not good enough (Bent, Tainio, Malbranque, Zakora) either do not care about the club (Lennon? Chimbonda? Berbatov?) or simply do not have the mental strength for the fight (Dawson, Jenas)
* A training regime that is clearly failing. We conceed the same goals week in, week out. Every team seems to know exactly how to undo our tactics and is fuly aware there is never a plan B.
Don't get me wrong, I will always love Spurs and nothing will make that change but I really need something to cling onto in what I can only see as dark times ahead!
