This Week’s Manager Watch: Ryan Mason

[mil1lion]

Chris Powell is too busy on commentary

 

[cockerel downunder]

Yeah, it's odd Chris Powell isn't on his coaching team.

I suspect he’s putting together a coaching team with one eye on his next gig

 

[jpascavitz]

I finally (don't know why it took me so long) got around to listening to the high performance podcast he was on a few months back and can't recommend it enough if you haven't listened yet. I feel like it was good timing because when everything has been shit at the club, listening to how someone is so positive, driven, and upbeat after what happened in his career really allowed me to remove myself from a lot of the club's negativity.

It was fascinating to listen and just makes you want to run through a wall and root for him all day long. Even if you don't think he's the right choice, he deserves all of our backing and support undoubtedly.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

“Arguably Tottenham's most successful season came with three at the back. That's just football. The fans buy into and connect with the feeling they get from players. Not so much the system or formation."

Well that flies totally against the oh woe is me wrist wringing about 3 at the back or whatnot by match thread intelligentsia

 

[rabbikeane]

Even though Arteta and Xavi didn't have loads of coaching experience, in my opinion, Ryan needs to cut his teeth somewhere else to have a chance of the job. Even a season in the Champ would make a tonne of difference.

Only if he hand pick one of the best jobs down there and get positive results. Go to one of the standard clubs down there and he'll just drown in their mediocrity.
Manager careers are shaped by which jobs they take. The result you get reflects on you and it's not as much down to your own qualities as it is the players you have.
People mention historic Spurs name coming from within, more up to date you can also take Guardiola. We still don't know how he'd do if he didn't have the absolute best players.
Couldn't win CL with Bayern, haven't yet with City. Didn't look special with City until he got the players he wanted. He'd never win the league if he had been at Spurs, he wouldn't have got CL with Aston Villa, like everyone else he'd be relegated with Burnley. Take over Bristol City and he'd probably decide to retire.

If Mason go to QPR and deliver ok, no one will ever look at him of the top clubs and he'll have 15-20 hard years to potentially graft himself upwards to a job like Spurs.

That’s not what you said. You said ‘if the players want him I don’t’. You think overall the players didn’t want Poch and SAF to be their manager?

The players shouldn’t pick the manager. But appointing a manager that the overall squad want to be manager is a good idea. Any manager worth his salt will want to move some on

Disagree but it's all opinions

 

[Swalien]

Best of luck to Ryan. I would love him to become our manager. We should back him and allow him to build an identity for us. We could potentially have our own Nagelsman or Tuchel or whichever shiny continental / foreign manager is the current must have item.

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

Mason drinking a yop in the dugout gets my vote for him to get the job permanently.

 

[slartibartfast]

Sack him

 

[Spursmatty87]

Sack him

Levy does love a half time sacking

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Give mason the job! Best we’ve played all season with the exact same players

 

[Navy Spur]

Well done Ryan

 

[Tucker]

Huge improvement. Very much expecting a hiding on Sunday though.

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

Judge him after Sunday.

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

Give mason the job! Best we’ve played all season with the exact same players

No need to exaggerate, the first half was absolutely awful and we had a better game against City.

It’s an improvement on the past few games though, and that’s what matters.

 

[Yiddo100]

For probably max 2 days on the training pitch that wasn’t half bad, get liverpool out the way and hope for a more positive end to the season.
Feels good seeing a man who properly loves Tottenham in the dugout.

 

[Shanks]

No need to exaggerate, the first half was absolutely awful and we had a better game against City.

It’s an improvement on the past few games though, and that’s what matters.

You could see more effort, even in the first half.

still, mistake after mistake made though, difficult to gain confidence for anyone with such little time

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Done well, sensible management which is good to see seems he’s a fan, we could have chased the third but I’d imagine we’d have conceded

 

[Russ1201]

Give mason the job! Best we’ve played all season with the exact same players

Was a very good 2nd half performance but still think to early for Mason. Would like him to be a future boss but not while we are in this mess.
Anyway atleast i won't have to listen to the United fans gloating in work tomorrow COYS

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Has changed a number of things already to be fair got rid of contes pre match routines and staying at the lodge for home games, meal at the stadium for the game was previously at the lodge must have been things he knew the players didn’t like
