Leffe absolutely loves mentioning that Spurs don’t spend any money whenever other big team’s finances are brought up :lol:

 

Yup - it's one of my key functions on here :lol:. There are a number of trigger phrases to which I am required to respond.

I reckon he wanted to sell Pogba in January, they realised they’d be taking a massive hit on his transfer fee, so they weighed it up against Jose’s pay off and thought it would be cheaper to do that instead.

 

The timing is strange. Like, why put a caretaker manager in for the majority of the season. Who’s in a job right now that wouldn’t jump ship? Do they not need to try and ensure a top 4 finish?

Why would they go to the bother of appointing a caretaker when Carrick could just do it and there's probably as much chance of him being decent than Solskjaer

 

Yeap, I'm wondering this as well.

He never seemed happy with their buys.  Yes they spent daft money as stupid as it sounds other than Matic how many were his first choices?  Watching them play their midfield doesn't work too many 6 footers who just run and tackle a bit.  No finesse trying to remember his Chelsea midfield did he have a playmaker alongside makelele and lampards?

How much have they had to pay him?

 

£18m. :anguish:

 

No wonder he was smiling on his way out of his sordid little grief hole

 

Living like some bloody tramp in a lay-by

Have you got your big plate, José?

Quite incredible that such a horrendous, painful, embarrassing period included them winning two of the competitions they featured in last season. How the other half live, eh.

 

Certainly not denying that this season has been disastrous by their standards, by the way. As everyone has said, he's been outdone tactically by more progressive and modern managers, and he's just never really seemed like a good fit for that club. Meanwhile the character traits for which he's been famed aren't useful or entertaining any more; he used to be cocky and would ruffle feathers with it, now he just seems constantly bitter and clinging to previous achievements that he's never going to replicate.

 

I was sick of him ages ago but still kinda hold a bit of hope for him in England. It would be interesting to see him build something with more typical resources at a club that doesn't expect immediate success. I'd even take him here in some circumstances; say if Rafa had moved on but we had new owners who wanted to build the club around a particular vision.

 

Hopefully he isn't finished but hopefully it's the last we see of him for a while.

He can cancel his booking for Christmas dinner now anyway.

I'd hate to have him here.

 

Can you imagine the stroppy look on his face when he first met the players and realised that he had to keep that team in the league?  We'd get beaten AND our manager would be a cunt.  At least now when we get thrashed, we have a manager who is likable.

 

Ironically I think he needs to find a club like ours to be able to reinvent himself.

Essien and Ballack are the only other two I remember

Tiago too. Tiago was still playing in CL finals up until a couple years ago iirc. Great player.

Don't disagree, but please not ours.
