Just couldnāt survive finishing 17th, one place out of the relegation places and the worst league points haul in 90 years.
Or losing Harry Kane
Iād love to see him get a top team somewhere, heād do very well somewhere like Juventus where theyād have the biggest budget and he could impose that style. Ultimately at Spurs, after a good start in the transfer market, he didnāt buy very well and there were too many gaps in quality in the squad.
Theyāve two or three fantastic young players, but thereās a nice few lads in that squad who are very injury prone, inconsistent and probably a bit overrated.
Son is finished, I donāt think Kulusevski, Madison and Solanke are the real elite level over a season for one reason or another.
The back 4, Bergvelt, Mikey Moore and the young chap from Leeds are all potentially exceptional.

What was his net spend there ? Losing Kane and also the amount of injuries seemed to go against him . Still spurs most successful manager in nearly 40 years

Tis probably for the best for both of them
The Yanited job will probably be available by November if he wanted to hold tough for that.

I saw the second leg of the play off against Coventry and theyāre going to find it really tough. Potentially record points low tough. Itās that bad the Bellingham fella is getting out before. The coach could be another fella who the worst thing he did was getting promoted
Sunderland is a BIG CLUB. The expectation will be to stay in the division and because theyāre Sunderland I think they have every chance. Burnley will go down because theyāre Burnley and because they have Scott Parker who will get sacked after three games.
Ange would be a good spiritual fit for Sunderland. Thereās a grand history of people with Celtic connections being appointed Sunderland manager. Big Mick McCarthy, Roy Keane, Martin OāNeill, David Moyes, Tony Mowbray etc. Even Peter Reid was spiritually of this type. Chris Coleman is from East Wall. Ricky Sbragia is a Tim. Gus Poyet as we all know desperately wants to be Irish.
Occasionally it works the other way and you get a Terry Butcher or Dick Advocaat or Alex Neil or Michael Beale type but thatās always a disaster.
The time will soon be be right for Sunderland to appoint another Fenian.

Sunderland and Ange would work Iād agree. They might spend heavily as well which will help. What I saw that worried me was Frank Lampardās Coventry dominating the ball against them and really pushing them back, but thereās more than one way to play football.
Take it to a Sunderland thread.

Have been a Tottenham fan 45 years, have seen lots of ups and downs, have loved Levy and all the work he has done for the club. IMO this is the worst decision he has ever made. You can critsise Postegogleu for lots of things but he has always been a breadth of fresh air.
Where do we go from here. Is Frank an upgradeā¦ I donāt think so

He doesnāt realise that Tottenham were those years competitive mainly due to Kane. You can have all the degrees in the world, but you need to know ball. Kane and Kyle Walker and the chronically underrated Dembele. Just another owner.
Agree, Poch had a superb team and won nothing, much as i loved Poch, he had better players than posted ever had and he won nothing. Hate This club at the minute.

They never replaced Erikson, Rose, Walker or Dembele really in that era. Alli went off the rails, then there was just Kane and Sonny
It does seem harsh, especially as he actually won something with the flakiest team in British football history.
Levy is an undoubted cunt, but is he simply avoiding the inevitable in October and not making the same mistake as Man Utd did with ten Hag?
Postecoglu seemed a very decent bloke, but is not cut out for the nature of the Premier League.
