After reading through but a fraction of todays posts I think my left testicle is going to explode.

And now we're back on pee pee fucking gee?

Fucks sake Levy you stunted, three toed, egomaniacal bald headed, saggy pissflapped dwarf ****, sign someone up so I can at least start to get this thread back on some sort of track.

As long as the right's OK, you're laughing.

Dear Mr Levy,

Nine times previous you have been faced with the dilemma of installing a new shiny manager of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. And arguably each and every time you have managed to get things wrong. Now having employed nine different people into the role and ultimately having to then sack these nine people raises many questions.
Just by law of averages for instance it seems very unlikely that all nine could be the wrong man for the job every time. You have attempted to bring in every kind of coach there is on the planet for gods sake.

So why are we constantly on the look out for a new manager?

I think its relatively simply. If you start acting like a man who trusts his judgement and actually back the man in charge to actually buy his players and mold his team, we may find ourselves onto something.

Lets stop pretending we're Mr kim Jun Levy and let the next manager of our great club live and then ultimately die by the sword of his own doing.

Who knows, even number 10, Mr Pochettino may be a success.

Optimistically yours

I take it you're 100% sure it's Poch then, matey.

Bang on! I multiplied wins by three, added them to the draws and divided by two. I then multiplied the result by 100.

Simples! (Eek!)
Only problem with that is it doesn't really reflect what would have happened.

What it does sort of show though is that we've been useless in the league must years lol.

Don't think anyone can prove either way for FDB or Poch who is going to be the bigger success or not. Both have positive records, both have their risks, both are relatively new comers in various different fields.
These are the only 2 managers at the minute available, who are probably the best we can attract on paper, don't get the anger towards eachother in this appointment, if its looking likely to be Poch. Lets just get someone appointed, and get behind him, and lets concentrate in getting a squad he would like to work with on top of the exisiting quality he already has. I am excited, just want it announced and just thankful that its not Sherwood.

Sorry missed a lot of the thread today. Can people please let me know, if we do sign Poch should I be happy or sad? All this PPG and comparrisons of leagues etc.. has me confused.

All I want to know is will the team play nice fast attacking football scoring goals and can we win a trophy?

Because it was half a win instead of a third?

It's a constant, isn't it, not a variable? I think we need a mathematician or statistician here.

In 1967 we won 24, drew 8 and lost 10. Last season we won 21, drew 6 and lost 11.

73 points would still be the best points haul since 1981.

If we had ITK that 1.69 points per game in 1832 is better than 1.68 points per game in 1998 or whenfuckingever, I could understand it. But we haven't. And we ain't likely to either. Its bad enough all the manager bollocks without this completely fuck all drivel being dragged into the place.

So I dropped a heavy hint about this PPG shit but no, that did no good. So I spent 10 minutes pondering how I could put a stop to it. "How can I stop them ****s polluting this thread with that shit?" I asked myself……And there it was, staring me in the face the whole time.

Right, i'll give it a few minutes to sink in and then i'll open this up again because i'm a softy. A softy with an old chap like a vim bottle with a sheeps heart on top.

But if I see a post about, or with the letters PPG or disguised varaints thereof, the words will magically transform themseves in my eyes to read "A&C, i'm tired of the ITK forums, please ban me" and i'd laugh. I'd laugh just like Vincent Price in Michael Jackon's 'Thriller' video. Picture me doing that as I pull the plug on you.

You don't think it would be a major cause of concern for Levy and Lewis if attendance figures dropped significantly, and many of those that did attend spent their time booing the team?

If anything was going to cause attendance figures to drop it would have been the monumental hike in ticket prices over the past 20 years.
