My point was that Hoddle will sit there just like the other pundits and slate us, Jj will at least defend spurs, like I said I only know Hoddle as a manager( for Us, Chelsea and England) so I don’t have him in this pedestal like others, but I’m told I’m ment to do asking where in the pecking order he is.
? thanks for the laugh, no one being brave here, it’s a forum for people’s opinions.
I don’t remember seeing him on TV defending ‘us’ once, but like I said I don’t hold him on a pedestal like most on here
This makes my eyes bleed.
I am only 32 so didn’t grow up during Hoddle’s years, but he is a bona fide club legend.
I have my first kid on the way soon and he will he told about Hoddle by me. I can’t even imagine being a Spurs fan and not adoring Glenn.
Just shows what is wrong with new age fans, created by social media and lack of knowledge about their own club.
Wow.
This.This makes my eyes bleed.

Wow.
Poch isnt a money man. so he is not going to take a step down.

Except it's not a step down. Don't understand why so many seem to think that Utd's currently poor form suddenly means the Spurs job is more prestigious. Other than their current league position, Man Utd are a vastly bigger and more prestigious club than us in every way
Worse stadium, worse facilities, worse squad, worse fans, worse men in charge.
Man Utd used to be a great team, so lets go there ? Spurs used to be a great team.
They have both the money, FFP compliance, and reputation to sign virtually anyone they want, so even if you think their squad is worse than ours that's something that can be rectified quickly.
As for worse stadium and worse facilities, they're both older than ours but I don't see how they're significantly worse enough to be a deciding factor. It's not like they play at the OS or some tiny 25k ramshackle ground, it's still a massive stadium (75k I think?) and one of the most famous in Europe. And again, at the end of the day, they're still Man Utd, so players (and prospective managers) aren't going to be put off by how new the stadium facilities are.
Regarding fans, I couldn't possibly say whether they're worse than we are. What I will say is that nobody in the premiership has much atmosphere and hasn't for years now, so any difference is rather negligible IMO. They've certainly got vastly more fans than us though
As for the men in charge, well, Woodward is clearly not very competent at the footballing side of things but he's not exactly some kind of Cellino type who's just impossible to work with or going to make life miserable. Most people would tollerate him perfectly well if it meant they could get one of the top jobs in football. And managers would rather work with him than Levy I'm sure.
Also your final point makes very little sense. There's a huge difference between a side who dominated the game for decades but have had a couple of rocky seasons while they transition to a new manager, and a team that had several brief and sporadic successes over the years, most of which came before most people were even born. And besides, it's not even just about being a great team, it's about being a massive prestigious club. Yes, in the early 60s we won the league and were one of the best teams in Europe, but we never have had anything even close to the level of prestige and global power that Man Utd have, even with their poor season.
Agree with all this, but I'm still not sure he is going to jump ship just because Man Utd are bigger than us.
The job may be more prestigious, but that doesn't mean it's a far greater proposition for him currently. He's already at a club that is still growing on and off the pitch thanks to 5 years of his and Levy's hard work. Will he leave all that unfinished only to start again at Utd, only under more pressure and scrutiny? I think it'd be an extremely difficult decision were he to leave.
Maybe being flippant about him turning them down is a bit stupid (or suggesting the Spurs job is better) but just expecting it to happen 'because it's Man Utd' is not much better either IMO.
Madrid wanted him and he chose to stay. Madrid are arguably a bigger draw.
For what its worth one of the top guys at BBC Sport Phil McNulty said today that he thinks Poch would look at both jobs right now and think maybe it's better to stay put, and he's not a Spurs supporter.
For what it's worth I don't think he'll leave just yet either. I'm just saying this idea some of our fans seem to have that taking the Man Utd job is somehow a step down from being the Spurs manager is just nonsense.
Not a step down but maybe not the best career move at the moment.
Why? United can really only improve from where they are. It is not as if he is following Fergie. Can negotiate a large amount of control of transfers and will have huge funds at his disposal. Will be given time as long as the product improves on the pitch, which seems almost guaranteed. Poch is doing a great job here but has been let down by the board who are going to claim they have a stadium to pay for for at least the next five years. There really isn't a promise of near term investment or improvement. From a footballing stand point, it doesn't seem like there is much upside here. If he waits until the summer, I can hardly see a Spurs supporter holding a move against him. United seems like the smart move to me, as much as it pains me to say it..Not a step down but maybe not the best career move at the moment.
