Afternoon Scribe,

Yeh agree its a strange article in a way but has a very valid conclusion.

If Im being honest I have never been an HR fan so I guess my view has always been the same of him.

So a big 24hrs coming up. In talks with Cahill and would love that to come off and looks like Parker is nailed on aswell. If we can add another striker to go with Adebayor then it would be a decent window.

someone should show this to levy.
You were right, it was a bit of a long read. But having the memory of a goldfish it was good to read about last year.
Someone earlier posted the stats comparing him to ramos. Combined with the stats since feb its like we've gone backwards .
Vdv out for 7 months . Its the 1st time i've heard about that (stuck in paris).
As for training and scouting WTF, seriously WTF.
19 hours to go COYS.

Makrel I havent read that about VDV hopefully he wont be out long.

Scribe,

Funny that Ive done something similar over lunch and this arvo calculating players out and in as you say on Champ Manager would be very easy lol. I would love Cahill whilst Samba is a man mountain I do think he is a bit prone to a mistake or two aswell.

Fair play for the impartial views a few of my goon mates (yes I do have friends that support them they are of the opinion that Wenger leaves end of season and get Bergkamp in.

Thats the thing with Arry very similar to a certain Keegan great man manager 99% of the time but tactically very weak. I put the AC result down to input from Sandra she is the one that pulls the strings we just dont see her.

Good old Champ Manager cant beat it lol.

I done a post yesterday about potential managers and Ancelotti came up trumps really. I would be happy with that proven in Italy and the PL could do well with our squad. As for a british manager Owen Coyle stand out candidate for me. Done wonders at Bolton they actually play football now. David Moyes has gone stale not really his fault as Everton are skint but they dont really play great football either.

Moyes has done very well on limited funds but I reckon he would want a break if he left Everton and I dont think he could attract real big names.

Coyle would be a risk but how are younger managers ever gonna get the chance in England to manage a top club. Good point how would he and Moyes cope if they had money to spend.

Ancelotti would do me aswell. I can see him at Spurs. He would use the way he was treated at Chelsea to motivate him and he would attract top players.

I was grilled when I suggested Ancelotti last season because I suppose he managed a rival. Nobody at Spurs had anything against him when he was in Italy and it's an attitude all supporters should ditch."We can't have him because he played for or managed so and so" If it benefits Spurs why does it matter who he managed or played for etc etc? I've also said since 2008 that Harry does well at first and then fades. I'm not saying that it's happening just yet but it will do(for sure as Harry likes saying) and we should think about it. he's also ruined clubs financially and for me he's ok in small doses. Neither Moyes nor Coyle are high profile enough for Spurs. A top name will keep us at the top and it's not much linger Harry. The whole front line must be replaced(I said that too last season and now everybody agrees) and if we have to up salaries then so be it. I for one won't be sad to see Harry go,it's thanks Harry and fare thee well.

Longer not linger.

I was constantly defending Harry to a couple of other spurs fans who have said since the start that he'd go this way eventually, however I can't any more. All his gumpf in the press took me to the edge.

Playing Niko and Ratboy in CM against Man City (and dropping Livermore who'd done better against Utd than Niko) was what took me over the edge.

have read this article in 2 or 3 different plances now.

although many of the points are very valid, and views shared by myself, the more widespread this article gets, the less beneficial for the football club in my view.

levy already knows all of this, and will no doubt already be shortlisting replacements for redknapp next season.

most of the fans are already feeling negative at the moment, so the last thing we need is this article going any more public than it already is in my opinion.

my take on the summer now,has more and more become that darth levy won't sanction any big money targets that redknapp has flagged up.

ads he don't see HR being in it for the long haul,and that he will either leave for england next year,or be sacked or for another job,and son't wanna be left with big money players the new guy don't want.

someone posted on here(may have been g&s,apologies if not)that darth levy had a confident on targets he was getting advice from.....

that man?!

This is a crucial time for the club and like matches the right decisions must be made. Often if a team has a run of draws and then a defeat then a bad run follows. On the other hand often after a run of draws if a win comes then a run of wins comes and it's that time for us now or very soon. I'm talking as if in comparison. Jol built the foundations and Ramos just stayed put and Harry built us up. Unless the right decisions are made this club will sink or swim,a run of defeats or a run of wins.

This was posted on here yesterday - it makes depressing reading but I can't help but agree with much of it (as did several well-regarded posters on here).

Ancelotti has a great record but I've seen Chelsea fans question his tactics and team selection, just as this article does with Harry's.

posted on 31/8/11

Yes, read this yesterday and agree 100%.

I'm also not commenting off the back of 2 bad results - never liked him and you know what......he doesn't like Spurs.

He never talks of the club as we - it's always they or Spurs. He's not a Tottenham man (fair enough, I guess) but he hasn't even seemed to develop an affection for us.

Contrast this to BMJ!

Bring in Poyet at the end of the season!!!

Few managers get it right every time Oyster. I bet if Vilas-Boas is a flop Chelsea supporters will say "Come back Ancelotti,all is forgiven." I would prefer a great record than an occasional tactical mistake. I say approach Ancelotti,he'll get us to the top and keep us there. Right now I'm waiting for a 3 goal home win to set us off and running.
