AVB or Favre seems a bit of a no brainer for now. Turning teams around are both managers bread and butter. Likewise Favre working with youth and a quick attacking style. The comments of some here that followed Dortmund would be concerning though considering how terrible our defence looks right now. AVB's temper maybe a problem too. What he did in a short time at Marseille was impressive and had he had better backing in the transfer market who knows where they would be. Not convinced with Fonseca at all. Reportedly interviewed poorly at Spurs and his sides are usually worse defensively than Favre's.

Agree, he seems like a big bully manager that will fall out with players.

It's like the guillotine had a malfunction and they are working to repair it. Everyone is just standing around waiting. "Well this is awkward.. sorry about this Steve."

Within 5 mins of coming on he had stopped tracking back, well in fairness he was nonchalantly walking back just not running or even fucking jogging. Both fouls were unnecessary. He will be better under and actual coach but everyone will be. He is an utter liability and a waste of potential. First out the door in January. Some poor set of fuckers will buy him.

No one has a clue. They only just reported we are only targeting managers out of contract. It's a big appointment. Of what is realistic and out of contract, Favre, AVB or Fonseca seem the best gattuso for the big gamble. Whether they gamble on no premiership experience is another question. AVB would he good in that regard. Favre seems like a great interim or placeholder. Fonseca could be shrewd or a flop. The horrible looming presence of Lampard is grim. Would be another year or more of press pals and pundits blaming the fans and their expectations rather than lampards short comings. If the new owners have identified someone for the longterm I don't think in or out of contract will make a huge difference. They will go for it if the feeling is mutual.

To be fair I thought Manquillo was abducted by aliens on and off throughout the game the amount of times he was missing on spurs attacks. Whether he was ever going to be good enough or not Lewis's confidence must be absolutely non-existent. I love Bruce hammering his defence. If only we had a manager that new something about defending. His comments before the game about only doing management because it was the closest he could get to playing was as ridiculous as it gets too. "not a day I don't wake up wanting to be on the pitch rather than the dugout but this will do." Certainly not the buzz of coaching players, seeing them blossom or learning more about the game. Guess he will never know having never done that in 1000 games.

Tmrw. The whole ground was calling for his head with the new owners there. It's incredibly simple now.

He was verging on England discussion under Rafa. Had we pushed on and upgraded around him then who knows. He was an absolute shambles today though they all were ASM aside.

Irony is he looked like a changed man for all of a couple of minutes.

Literally so surprised we can manage to be this passive we are so passive.

Lascelles is a disgrace today

Absolutely perfect for the owners to see first hand. 3 points needed but no one can be in doubt now.

Off the hook

Pen?

Wilson off. Gah. Probably sensible but who the fuck is up top lol. Willock too lol

ALL THE ATTACKING PLAYERS. BRUCE GIVETH YOU WHAT YOU WANT.

If he doesn't make eye contact with anyone they can't tell him he is fired right?

Fuck me. Shelvey you have only been on less than 10 and you are walking back to defend. Twat.

"The uncertainty with my role certainly hasn't helped this week." Nailed on. Don't worry Steve. Pretty sure they will be fixed tomorrow.

Yeah. Or poor by the player given what happened and there is nothing wrong with him. Even the spurs player looked up the pitch to see if an attack was on before putting the ball out of play. As the commentator said. If he is in that much pain can he gesticulate and shout at the referee like that? Still felt maybe a bit poor not to knock it out.

Commentator laying into the spurs player for feigning injury there in consideration with what just happened with the fan. Amazing that the supporter is away and talking. Best news.

Dazn coverage has been very good. Credit to those spurs players too. Didn't think this day would get more emotional. I'm an absolute mess. Prayers to the guy.

Yikes, thoughts and prayers here.

Has Bruce even talked to the players since they came off? The contrast with Nuno speaking to all the players and all our players going to different coaches is bizarre.

I don't believe our defenders are THIS bad. Looks like they ALL need binning off though. Unbelievable this is the same group that were the better part of our squad under Rafa.
