Financially it’s lose to impossible to sell both Woltemade and Wissa and bring in a new striker this summer. Might as well just replace Howe and get a new head coach

and? Would you buy a CB that cannot defend for 40m?

His defending is fucking shit.

I do think so and I won’t be surprised that Maresca is genuinely under consideration.

I don’t think that injury is THAT bad. It’s more about his attitude. if that injury has such an impact that makes him a totally different player, I dont think Howe will immediately start him and drop Woltemade back at Dec. It doesn’t make sense.

It looked sensible = we ignored or didn’t realize all the risks behind.

I have a second thought today and try to think in PIF perspective. My conclusion is the recent message is real - if Howe can’t get us back to Europe competition spot he will be sacked. The upcoming seven games will decide everyone’s fate. If the players really want Howe to stay they gotta treat every game as a cup final

Top talents in Brazil cost 20m sounds fair imo

16 Years old? Wow.

I would be honest. You shouldn’t say this publicly, and if you do so, it should be an ultimatum

To be fair IF hotspur can back to doing their basics normally they already can stay up. Doing basic stuff during crisis time is a very underrated accomplishment

Thats a fair comment unless Italy go on and win the WC this year lol

Look back the tune would be completely different if we won the derby. Had we won all the three EPL games (Man Utd Chelsea and Scum) we would be saying Howe has turned the corner. instead now not only NO here, but everywhere including the management is casting serious doubts over Howe. That’s why you can’t lose a derby, nevermind twice a season.

We can have a full reset and if that’s the case we need to give Howe time to train the new players. and imo I think if we keep Howe we won’t do it. He simply won’t want to let anyone in the core leadership group to go. In fact I think he might be missing Lacelles already

And btw he played a completely different role for Italy. I don’t think he intentionally hide when playing for us. sometimes I do wonder what’s exactly the division of labour for our midfield 3 under Howe

I don’t know who can we get as a “great replacement”

Explain how the lose of Isak make us having the worst defence record in Europe? you really can’t defend for Howe re our defence problems. We always able to score goals first. Just we will gift it back to our opponents. Surely this can’t be related to Isak right?

It is genuinely a very difficult task to find someone better than Howe IF the club only need to play 38 league games per season. the only reasons why we might need to find a “better” one are 1. We have to perform better in the season with Europe competition 2. Howe is not “functioning well” now and need a break from football

you know what? The worst part of the transfer is you didn’t realize it’s a gamble and you simply couldn’t spot the risk behind this is not direct to you btw, but all those who thought “ah it’s ok 55m is just a steep price for guaranteed goals” no, as proven by fact

You can choose not to boo, it’s your choice. But for this week, after two shocking derby performance, people have every right to boo.

Being done a double by a promoted team is already bad enough, and it’s the Scum. Seriously? How can you blame those who boo the team on Sunday?

Thats why most club now hire “head coach” rather than “manager”.

No fucking way 55m is “slightly overpay”. And you have to think more than that. What’s really wrong is the nature of the “transfer”. If we are talking about getting the rats replacement, we got Nick already. The reason why we paid that 55m was we are gambling Wissa could bring us instant success. It is purely a gamble. No fucking way it’s for anything else. Now tell me, who asked for the gamble, who sanctioned the gamble, and who should be accountable for the gamble? if this is other business or industry like Investment Banking, I guarantee you such kinda gamble 100% would result in discipline action.

I mean I appreciate the hard work done by all the people involved in the process, I really do. But if the current setup or approach has deteriorated to the point that we allowed such ridiculous transfer to happen, we need to change it. Wissa should never be signed at that price, even if we badly need one (and in fact we already got Nick at that time).

Burn and Trippier were great transfers because they were available for 15m-ish with more than 3 years of services left for us. The cost and performance were great. Wissa at 55m, 29 years old? This transfer should be banned at all level and yet it went through. if this doesn’t cause the club to change the whole process and reallocate the power, this is fucking unprofessional
