When I asked about why, quite rightly pointed out he’s done well everywhere really he’s been at he’s overachieved in a sense or been shot in the foot.
Estoril he got them way over achieving
Sporting done well got them their first trophy I think in a long while then got sacked for refusing to wear the club suit as the club had secretly gone about getting Jorge Jesus in
Olympiakos done really well, but didn’t enjoy it there and left
Hull got them playing amazingly well unlucky to go down however wasn’t a big fan of the rugby ground share stopping his team playing football.
Watford - who lasts long there? Well I think he’s lasted the longest of the bunch in recent years, was doing very well then Everton tapped him up and they fell off a wagon.
Everton got them to 8th despite the club being a clusterfuck Everton fans will openly say sacking him was a mistake
Fulham well yeh they are doing very well, and at each and every one of these clubs he’s got them playing amazing attacking football he’s also got a good eye for a player, he can also make his tactics suit a players limitations.
He’s got premier league experience he’s used to London now, won’t take any time to bed in and get the best out of squad and can play a variety of ways and formations to suit certain player.
I can see where his shout was coming from that’s before you find out that he’s apparently a terrific guy, super good coach and tactically immense. He’s United Fulham and turned them from a yo yo club into a threat.
I didn’t know this but he was looked at for both the arsenal job before arteta and emery as well as the Chelsea job before potter and after.

Agree, I found it a great read.A great write-up (and a reminder why I still have a sub).
Part that struck me was this quote:
“I’d have to get to know the club’s model and culture,” he says. “You cannot ignore the history of the place where you’re going to work and live. That part is incredibly important.”
Him choosing us would be as important as Spurs selecting him. And that would be that, he’d be there for the long haul.
Though him getting to know our model will probably only end one way
Yeah that’s the thing, he’d have to be mad to pick us BUT if he did he would be here to build. There’s just something about his views on the sport I find genuinely inspiring. For such a long time I’ve felt there has been a mental block with the players that has constantly held us back and I just feel his views on that side of the game alone could have a big effect. I know attacking football would also improve things I’m sure, but I feel like it’s deeper than just tactics. Idk, ether way he’d be a great pick imo.

We tried to lighten the load for him this season...his back up scored two league goals equating to zero points.
He secured 38 points this season for us by his winning or equalizing goals.
I'm convinced we will struggle next season with the current set up at Tottenham Hotspur. A fish rots from the head and we've been rotten for quite sometime.
Hope I'm entirely wrong

How often did his replacement actually replace him though?

This is it tho, thing I worry about is if there’s actually truth to the rumours we are more looking for a head or recruitment rather then a DoF. Essentially someone more focused on players rather than helping to build an overall vision. I’ve probably used the word “vision” more on the last few months then I have in the last 5 years but the lack of direction (and the desire to find a direction) is really quite shocking and we are seeing the results of that yet again.
I really feel like the Levy and the board took so long to come to Slot that now he’s gone they are in shock, panicking and not convinced by anyone. This will no doubt result in us widening the search and interview everyone to a point where 90% of the candidates are fed up and back out whilst we will be left with the last man standing regardless if his style of play matches the remit.
(and thank you for the kind words. It’s nice to know my ramblings make some sense now and again)

If we have the longest managerial search in football history and end up with some fat dork from Scotland I'm going to lose my shit.

Was going to say, it sounded like they wanted head of recruitment which would levy still in charge but just being spoon fed who to buy, which sucks because that means that he will just turn em all down and piss that person off until they leave a la Paul Mitchell. Also didn’t we go through that exact situation and ended up with the great nuno. Got a weird weird feeling he ends up just giving it to mason after being turned down by everyone and claims it as a win by promoting within. Plus mason wouldn’t have the nuts to call him out publicly like many manager before him has. This club is so freaking soul draining. It pisses me off to no end that it seems like the only reason he doesn’t want nags is because then he would get choice of DoF and thus increasing leverage and power that levy does not want to give up. The more I read and hear about Levy the more I think he’s just a con man, created this massive persona about himself as being the tough negotiator when in reality it’s just here’s half of what he’s worth and if you don’t accept it I’m gone

It’s funny, I was just reading Mason’s quotes on Levy from the press conference before I read your reply. Not that I criticise him for taking the focus away from Levy, he undoubtedly wants the job and is obviously not going to rock the boat. But I think you’re right, if he did get appointed I’m sure he wouldn’t stand up to him at all.
I still don’t truly believe we will end up with Mason but I do also think with every day that goes by he becomes just that little more likely to get the job.

"lighten the load?" Kane has the 3rd most minutes of all outfield players in the league - behind two defenders, Tarkowski and Gabriel. He is averaging 89.5 minutes per game over the first 37...

You're still ok with a fat dork from Australia though, right?

But seriously it's responses like that which annoy me most. Ange isn't Scottish, and using fat as an insult.. how old are you?
