David Ginola on coaching Andros & Spurs

Just read this. I for one would love to see Ginola involved in coaching at Spurs. Not No.1 but definitely have him in, with the prospect of taking the reigns in the future.

His points on Townsend are spot on too!!!

 

[Macspur261]

He sometimes appears alongside Alan Brazil on the Talksport breakfast show, and a few weeks back he was talking about how would love to be involved with Spurs, maybe even manager one day.
He was very passionate about us and clearly has a lot of affection for the club.

This would be a great move by the club IMO. Former club legend, has played in other countries, attack and flair minded in keeping with the Spurs tradition, previously played with the club's current coaching team, loved by the fans, is intelligent and speaks wisely and informatively when working as a pundit, etc. etc. etc.

I would love to see him working at the club and progressing his way through the coaching setup.

I think there's a few who could learn from him, and maybe add a bit of continental flair to our british minded coaching team..

Dembele, Eriksson, Lamela, Townsend, Lennon and even Soldado could learn something from David..

And bless him, he's trying really hard in promoting himself to get a role at our club..

 

[danielneeds]

Does he believe in holding midfielders though?

 

[Legend10]

Could you imagine, he would be shredded by the tactical geniuses who've won countless Premierships on FM.

I'd love to see Ginola given an opportunity as a coach with us. Not only would he be able to work with players like Townsend, Lamela, and Eriksen, his enthusiasm for the club would also be important for the players to see.

I am completely biased towards Ginola. I was born in 1988 so have pretty much spent my entire childhood supporting spurs when we were really shit, the first game that really got me into football was the 6-2 vs Wimbledon where Klinsmann scored 4. Ginola really was the sole ray of light in our team for a couple of years, so for that I will be eternally grateful.

A winger who could score goals, beat his man with ease, and was also a deadly crosser of the ball (the amount of Ginola chances created that we never converted was shocking!). If he could teach wingers half of what he could do on the pitch then we should get him in as our ball control, skills, and technique coach.

Indeed, this is another aspect I didn't think of. But it appears as if a number of our shiny new imports don't quite appreciate what it means to play with the cockeral on your shirt. He would be fantastic with regards to promoting the importance and passion required to play for Spurs. In essence, he perfectly embodies the motto.

To Dare is To Do!!!

Yep I think it's important for the players to see the impression our club has left on other footballers. I suspect that's one of the main benefits of having Freund involved.

Most of our players probably see us as nothing more than a waiting room before they go to a higher or lower level.

 

[Main Man]

It is just my opinion, but Ginola has never struck me as somebody who would make a successful coach or manager.

He has never even struck me as someone who would even try to be.

 

[yido_number1]

Would be great, I could just imagine him on the bench at the lane doing this to Wenger or more likely Sherwood!

On a serious note, everything he says about Townsend is right, it would be great having him amongst the staff... Can't imagine Tim would be too happy, he would definitely be seen as a threat to his future...

 

[theShiznit]

Does he believe in holding midfielders though?

He believes in holding anyone that will hold him back.

Eriksson,

Sorry mate, could not help myself , but it's Eriksen. He's danish, not swedish.
Nothing personal

 

[eddiebailey]

He is correct about Andros' decision making, but when he returns it will be interesting to see if under a different coach we see him shooting less.

 

[mark87]

Great read. David has pretty much said everything that so many of us have already said about Andros, his finished product isn't good enough or making bad decsisions with the final ball, shooting instead of passing. If David can help him with his decision making with his final ball we'll definitely see a better player in Townsend.

 

[ajspurs]

Damn he was spot on with almost everything there, especially this:

I haven’t really seen anybody doing anything really special for Tottenham this season, said Ginola. Emmanuel Adebayor, perhaps, in terms of scoring goals.

But not somebody getting the ball in the middle of the park, going forwards, taking the danger into the last third of the pitch – I have not seen that much.

Tottenham haven’t bought any players capable of doing something like that.

We saw them struggle against Manchester City and if you cannot compete with the best, how are you going to be among the best? said Ginola. That’s a problem.
You could see the limit of signing a lot of players in the summer. Against the best, Spurs have struggled.

I have man flu, nothing's quite as it seems at the moment.. Forgiven?

 

[balalasaurus]

SIGN HIM UP!!!!!!!!!




















And I'm not just saying that because I've got him as my profile pic.

 

[Legend10]

Sherwood has already said previously in an interview that Andros needs to think about his decision making and take less shots and that he and the coaching staff would be working with Andros on this.
