    Spurs are an established club with established structures in place, established DoF’s and chairmen etc. Ours is under 4 weeks old. They’d also already spoken to Conte in the summer and have likely been in contact with him since. You can’t draw conclusions and comparisons from this

    This club is in a right state following Ashley’s tenure. The new owners will have so much to do and they are business people, not football experts. They’ve got football advisors but the decision making process is a pretty convoluted one given this is a consortium of 3 parties and not owned by one person. This is all going to take time and we’re gonna have to cut them some slack here. It would have been a mammoth task as it was if things had all gone to plan but they, like all of us, were massively caught on the hop here by the Premier League folding due to the legal pressure put on them and allowing the takeover through overnight after years of deadlock. As well as deciding on a manager and possibly DoF they’ve got to have one eye on the January transfer window too. Then there’s staffing issues (the club was run by a skeleton crew throughout) and infrastructure and Lord knows what else. This is gonna take time and yeah, it might be too late to save us this season who knows. We’re just going to have to ride this one out but let’s be clear, it’s Ashley (and on the football side,Bruce) who got us in this position, not the new owners. They’ve just got to pick up the broken pieces and I’m sure that’s what they are trying to do to the best of their abilities.

    Exactly. They are probably a bit busy.
  4. Yep, it makes this great club even greater when you see things like that

    They could stop us coming back up though.

    TalkSport are fully in bed with the bookies to manipulate odds
  7. I think what’s happened here is 14 years of abject underinvestment in the squad, club and facilities and the attendant affect that has had on the confidence of the players. We’ve been set up to fail. These players have been bought, most of them, to keep us ticking over and stay in the premier league by the skin of our teeth. And that’s exactly what we are doing. The whole thing needs investment and time. It may not be enough this season, who knows. Im not sure any manager would have got us much nearer Chelsea today.
  8. Thought it was the Chelsea lot who cheered that
  9. Wonder how long the Sports Direct/ Flannels shite has to stay up for.
  10. Brilliant display. Legends this lot. Nice one @Heron and all

    How does it look like that? Can’t see it being Martinez

    Transfer rumours

    Schmeichel was also insane in that run in iirc He made some really important game winning saves. And of course Cantona being Cantona.

    Where is this Martinez stuff coming from?? There are no credible links as far as I’ve seen. The journos have no idea but need to fill column inches.

    Do we know for sure that they are set on getting a DoF in? It may all just be paper talk and speculation.

    I think the odds are overwhelmingly in the gobshite camp
