The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th June 2012

[Archibald&Crooks]

​

Nothing much happened over the weekend, the speculation continued, bookmakers favourites came and went and a few shit cryptics. There. All summed up for you as Daniel Levy starts to play..............The Usual Suspects!



THE SCENE: A Police line-up room in the copshop on Tottenham High Road. Several high profile managers are lined up and behind a one way window stands Daniel Levy. On a box, so that he can see.

Someone hands the first in the line a piece of paper and a voice over the intercom says 'No1, step forward and read what is written on the piece of paper'

David Moyes steps forward........'Och, he's a tarrifffek playerrrr, a top top lad' and steps back

AVB steps forward, then crouches down low and says 'He is a triffic player top top lad' before standing back and up returning to his place in the line

Robert Martinez steps forward............'This is a wonderful kloop and i'd like to talk about it'.......A voice breaks in.....'stick to the piece of paper No3' So Martinez shrugs........'Triffic, top top player'

Laurent Blanc is next............'superbe garçon meilleur joueur'........the voice breaks in. 'In English please'......Blanc looks up, quizically, 'Que?'.........The voice repeats..........'In English please'. Blanc shrugs, terrifique player, top lad'

The others start giggling. Daniel Levy steps down from the box. 'I've seen enough now' and leaves. Who did he choose?

We're all waiting to find out.

That's your lot for this morning. Other stuff beckons.

Well, I'm off fishing.

 

[Montasura]

How come fat Sam wasn't in the lineup

Day 1074 in the managerial madhouse and A&C is getting restless ahead of this week's eviction...

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Well, judgement day, as if all the ITK from the back end of last week are anything to go by, AVB should be paraded today...?
I'm not holding my breath to be fair, I think this saga may go on a little while longer yet. Not that I'd complain if I'm wrong and we wrap things up today/tomorrow.
I can't help but wonder if the delay is one of two things. Either, the announcement will be about more than just the new manager, maybe a big signing or two thrown in for good measure with some grand plans for the start of a new dynasty of Spurs domination being announced, and that is causing the delay (also the delay with Vertonghen maybe), until all the parts are tied up to be announce together.... Or, maybe the manager isn't available yet, Laurent Blanc busy at the Euros??, hence the waiting game??

I would rather we got business done quickly, so the manager, current squad, and new signings get a good settling in period over pre-season, so we hit the ground running. But, I understand the need to get the decision right will be given as much time as it needs.

Or maybe Paul Lake, 1990's Man City midfielder.

 

[Mr Pink]

Can only see the recruitment process beginning in earnest today. I don't expect any announcement this week unless its AVB.

 

[WestBelfast Spurs]

[Twizzle]

[Bizness]

All going to kick off today then?

 

[OneHotspur1988]

[max cady]

Suprised Hiddinck has not been mentioned or are we only going down the youthful road.

He must be getting paid an absolute ton at Anzhi tho, which we really can't compete with at all. He would be great for us though!

 

[Gbspurs]

BBC running an article that we have approached AVB to discuss the role and that Blanc was a shock candidate.

 

[JJetset]

Do people know the fixtures yet

 

[rawhide]

Well, I'm off fishing.

Yeah, me too. Never liked it really...

Thanks for the clean thread A&C

I'm expecting a quiet day with no announcements. Go on, prove me wrong! I dare you!

 

[rawhide]

Do people know the fixtures yet

You do, I take it JJ. Anything of note?

 

[mil1lion]

"Hand me the keys to the ITK you mother fucking cocksucker motherfucker, aaaaaaaaaaahhhh!"

 

[Tottenham Tom]

Do people know the fixtures yet

They should be out any second, no?

 

[JJetset]
