Can't we just cancel the rest of the season? Let's just stop playing the games. That would at least be more entertaining.

Brilliant tactician, and could be a figurehead with his strength of character.

But there's as much chance of his appointment being a disaster too, and he may not bring too much stability, something we're in need of more than anything else.

We won't get stability while Levy is here.

All managers will get pissed off eventually that they can't get the players they want in the door.

To be honest nothing would really surprise me now.

If I had said in the summer that we would play the Chavs in March 2014, with Walker in MF, Lennon behind Ade and not one of our magnificent 7 even on the pitch, everyone would have thought I was mad.
Welcome to reality, whatever that is !

From Ali Z:

Some info on some of this -

LVG deal on the table not done. 4 others in contention, LVG is chairmans first choice but he always likes to play poker, doubt this relationship will work. Prandelli, De Boer and Jurgen all interested. I want De boer or JK, though our chairman falls out with them all sooner or later, then spins it to blame them.

Baldini gone in summer. Will be blamed for Bale sale and wasting money.

Sherwood and his mates gone too. He knew all of the things he said today before he took job and still took it, he was offered players but refused. He knew he had to get top 4 hence today's outburst, though some truth in it, some of it is about self preservation.
What was his outburst as for Sherwoods mates, Ramsey and co have done a good job with the youth team, why get rid of them?

I don't think it makes any difference as to who we have in charge, the end result is always the same.
Had enough of the whole transfer window madness/new manager links.
Same shit, different season.

You're not wrong, as he's the one constant in the running circus. Although going by some of the players AVB reportedly wanted, I can't blame him in that case for saying no.

Moutinho was very gettable,Pissed about and went for Dempsey and dembele instead:dead:

Not sure if we could've done better with villa

There was talk that we could've gottn hulk on loan but we refused to pay the loan fee, signed Chadli instead.:nailbiting:

It's probably not nice having players you don't rate dumped on You. Probably why levy wants LVG, hoping he'll perform miracles with the younger players

Look at yourselves before you blame Levy. A number of Spurs 'supporters' constantly believe the grass is greener, that a new manager will get us top 4. It's as much of a commercial challenge as a footballing one, yet we won't get there because supporters won't give the hierarchy time to get it right. We have a chairman of proven quality who happens to have an itchy trigger finger, just don't give him reason to use it.

I'm sorry, but I just can't take Prandelli serious as a candidate. It's not his managerial ability, it's because he reminds me of Kenneth Connor. I imagine him having a conversation with Levy, how he is going to get our great club moving again, and it going something like this:

How much did Moutinho go for to Monaco? Wasn't it about £35m plus big agent fees? I might have that wrong but I think he may have been too much for us.

No no, before that. Andres first season he was ours, fee agreed with Porto. but levy fucked about At the end of the window instead of sorting it early, leaving us not enough time to close out the deal with the 3rd party

Some say he left it late as he never had any intention of having the deal go through
