Martin Lol Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Know nowt about him. Any of the resident Spuds want to give us the lowdown? From page 1...................... Some spurs fans used to refer to him as 'Clipboard Chris'. Make no mistake about it, CH is a top quality coach. In the days when the Pro badge wasn't a necessity, there were only 3 pro badge holders in the premiership and Chris was one. If he'd been no good at what he did, he wouldn't have been kept on by successive managers. FWIW, Arnesen rated him as good as any coach he'd known, but I think he'd gone stale at the end, it was the right time for him to go when he did. On the Spurs forums he's still got pretty well near unanimous best wishes for the future, which is remarkable bearing in mind he's moved to Newcastle. BTW, I've just had a fiver on Martin Jol being the Newcastle manager for the first match of next season. Probably a fiver down the drain but if things don't go well this season I wouldn't rule it out, there was a huge amount of respect between MJ and CH.

Guest kingdawson Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Know nowt about him. Any of the resident Spuds want to give us the lowdown? Genuinly nice guy and gets on well with the players in a 'one of the boys' sorta way. Like Keegan, he seems a bit of a soft touch tbh which is definatly not what you lot should be looking for. Still hope he does well for you guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a good coach, but I wonder how much Keegan knows about him? Dunno, but I can say for certain that Kemsley had no say in this appointment as was suggested by someone early on in the thread. Kemsley hates Jol's guts and Hughton comes a close second. I think it's impossible for someone to be a first team coach for as long as Chris has and his strong points and weaknesses not to widely known. Maybe he's a bit conservative in his outlook but I don't think you'll ever see Hughton slumped in his chair having given up as Pearson did at a match last season. You can't win every match but Hughton won't give up trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mucky01 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I think for one thing with KK’s lack of recent Prem experience its good that he’s gone with someone with lots rather than take a risk with someone new like Shearer, etc. – 14 years on the Tottenham backroom staff, serving under 10 different managers. As a football fan you never know how good an assistant boss is, just how good a coaching team is as a whole. To many on here hated Pearson because he looked miserable, WTF! I hope that it was Jol’s fault that spuds porked out!!? Speaking of which Michael Owen might move faster if he lost that stone of weight that Allardyce got him to put on?

Guest Knightrider Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 KK is as ruthless as they come. Don't be fooled by his media persona, if you get in KK's bad books that's about it for you. As for this appointment, I see it as a positive one. Houghton shares KK's football philosophies and recently coached a side that had finished in the top 5 twice playing some good stuff. He'll do for me. Furthermore, he has experience working under a continental set-up which is what we now have in place with Wise et al. Could be a good partnership in my opinion.
