Easy decision to sack him. Contracts up in a few months so Levy won't need toupée him much to get rid now
I think they fell into the trap of thinking a good, big name manager will make their players better, forgetting that these managers usually have good players to work with.Kane most likely gone at end of season, Mason as manager, Son in decline, defense a joke. Where do they end up next season?
They need to give up on superstar managers that are used to managing teams full of top tier players. And get a manager that is good nuturing academy prospects and getting young players to give their all. That is also willing to play a bit more of an adventurous modern style of football.
There is always Big Sam for 10 games!If they sack him now, surely it's arrivederci CL next season.
They need to rid Levy. But with him having equity in the organisation it would be difficult.They need new ownership stat. Otherwise, they might get a manager like de Zerbi and it might make them plucky underdogs for a couple of seasons before they have to go through the same cycle again.
They already tried this with Nuno.Kane most likely gone at end of season, Mason as manager, Son in decline, defense a joke. Where do they end up next season?

Why, though? They've only got backwards under him. He's done a terrible job. They should have a decent shot at improving once freed of him.If they sack him now, surely it's arrivederci CL next season.
I can't see the hair punHe'll never get a job in England again...
No.If we win Europa do Spurs get CL whilst being 5th in the league?
https://www.premierleague.com/european-qualification-explainedIf a club win the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League and finish in the top four, their qualification for the UCL through their league position is not transferred to another team.
I would not really consider Nuno's style of football as modern and expansive. He is more of the Jose school.They already tried this with Nuno.
They've finished 4th last season which is a very good achievement considering their situation, I don't think he did a terrible job at all. I'd say decent to good job.Why, though?

This is if you ignore the regression on the pitch, the number of times they had to rely on come backs against far lesser teams etc. It’s on a downward path and they’re right to sack him.
You make good points.Kane most likely gone at end of season, Mason as manager, Son in decline, defense a joke. Where do they end up next season?

Given what they have available (current squad and possible spendings) and the competition in the league (with us and Arsenal back to normal) there is no coach in the world that could guarantee them 4th place and KO in the CL.They've finished 4th last season which is a very good achievement considering their situation, I don't think he did a terrible job at all.

He's not saying it for the benefit for the club or the fans. It's pure self-preservation. It's like a bat signal to future employers that whatever has happened at Spurs is because it's Spurs. He's absolving himself completely, which is ironic because he's talking about selfish players but what he did here is the height of selfishness. Yes on some level there is truth to what he's saying so I can understand when you say it's brilliant and it needed to be said but for me he's taking the cowards way out and it's genuinely diabolical behaviour.I think this is brilliant, genuinely. He has called out the owner, the club and some of the players for just being happy to do ok and don't want the pressure that comes with really challenging. He is 100% right and I'm delighted to hear him say it. He is probably gone now unfortunately though but I'm glad he is going out swinging because this needs to be said .

But then you wonder why Conte is going ballistic. He took over a team that has finished 7th the season before and were struggling before he came onboard. They’ve already improved significantly in that time. He can’t surely have thought they’d be title contenders already? It feels like he just wants out and has decided he can do better elsewhere.
The thing that would worry me is the new manager bounce will take them in to the CL next season. Longer he stays the more damage possible.If they sack him now, surely it's arrivederci CL next season.
If good managers, not world class, like Conte and Mourinho failed at Spurs then their only option is to hire a modern, emerging manager but that can work both ways. I also believe Tuchel won't work there.Given what they have available (current squad and possible spendings) and the competition in the league (with us and Arsenal back to normal) there is no coach in the world that could guarantee them 4th place and KO in the CL.
I’d say Tuchel is the only one who could probably get them results as good as what Conte gave them. He’d probably do better in the domestic Cups (you need luck as well).
But I don’t believe Tuchel would be interested after what Conte endured there. He can wait for better opportunities.
@balaks will still tell us all he's a great appointment.But... guaranteed trophies?
Will I now? Anything else you want to tell me about what I think or will say? Takes all the stress out of life if somebody else just does all this for you.@balaks will still tell us all he's a great appointment.
Conte is a dinosaur and it was always going to end in tears. Sure, they won the "Finished in the top 4 one season which no-one will remember" trophy but that's always papering over cracks.
