Would be a good description of him yeah, teams are incredibly well organised and hard to beat and very fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We failed to beat Watford, Wolves, Leeds, Aston Villa and Southampton. With a different manager, especially in the circumstances of that game. I think Spurs is winnable for anybody generally, except us and Norwich. Edited November 1, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Wonder how long Spurs will take to bring a new manager in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace walloped them 3-0 and Arsenal 3-1 in their 2 away games leading up to us. From memory everyone viewed that as a good opportunity for 3 points and yet 2-3 flattered us massively. They'd beaten Watford, wolves and Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of thing I mean, we've clearly been interviewing possible candidates, who knows, we might actually be holding out and pushing for the one we really want and it's taking a lot of convincing? Nah, they're obviously just sitting about with their thumbs up their arse. We aren't the same prospect as spurs/man u etc, I'd fully expect them to be able to attract their targets quicker than us.

LV Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 If we end up with Emery before the weekend then I would say the owners have done a good job of recruiting. He’s the best appointment we can make at this time and rather exciting given his track record. Ideally I would have liked him in weeks ago, but at the international breaks gives time to work on things properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 People really comparing us hiring a manager at this moment in time, with spurs in their position? Seems people have forgotten what a mess of a club we where left with thanks to Ashley. Wait for the manager to be appointed and then base any criticism of that.

Hhtoon Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Spurs have clearly been plotting in the background plus had probably done most of their homework during the summer recruitment process. Obviously going to make a quicker selection than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Emery would be the ideal hiring, because his teams are very well balanced and organised and they are decent to watch too, and we'd be a threat to at least threaten to win a cup the quickest with him. He's basically a younger Benitez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mess in their new manager hunt and a mess of the Kane situation. We need to be aiming to be better than Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs always release the name of a manager through the airwaves soon after firing one, only to then go and hire someone completely different. Goodness knows who they will end up with. If they do get Conte that would be pretty impressive. I'll believe it when I see it though. And if he does join them I'll start the clock on it going tits at some point.

If the kebab lord hadn't left us in such a state we probably would have given him a shot at it, but ultimately Emery is a top class hire that is an echelon above the Fonz, and I too was a fan of the idea of the Fonz coming in and instilling some fantasy football. Emery is next level though, would be a top notch long term appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
