Tottenham Hotspur

Why wouldn't De Zerbi want it ? He'd be mad not too. A 5 year deal on mega bucks, that he'll probably get the end of the season if he takes Spurs down. He will get no blame," not his team," already down", "done his best" and "not enough time". Moves on and gets another top job. If he keeps Spurs up, hailed as "a miracle worker", probably a massive staying up bonus, massive transfer war chest, no Europe just concentrate on cup competition and try to qualify for Europe. It really is a no lose scenario there, he doesn't have to be great following the last saps.

Won’t get the blame if they go down and next season they’ll absolutely demolish the Championship and get about 100 points. Can see why Dyche was basically whoring himself out for the job and getting his media cronies to push his name out non-stop.

Some wild off topic comments in here. Can we get back to talking about De Zerbi’s haircut and love of nu metal pls?

I think he’d do well because of the Toxicity in the squad

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Only 4 contracts up this summer.
Kolo Muani (loan)
Palhinha (loan)
Bissouma ~ £30M
B Davies ~ undisclosed

Only Richarlison contract up summer 2027.

Struggle to see where and why the rot took hold in the squad.

Being serious for a minute, the problem with that squad isn’t ability or contracts it’s that they have no leaders! Nobody who is gonna stand up and be counted and bring out the best in the rest of the team (apart from Richarlison).
The closest they’ve got is Romero who instead of putting in a big tackle and pumping everyone up will put in a horror tackle and get sent off.

Suddenly makes Moyes wanting McGinn a little more clear (as well as villa tailing off when he was injured). Every side needs it's standard bearer on the pitch, to set an example and lead from the front. Worth their weight in gold.

I`d love to have a peek in his shed too.

I bet it`s done out like the Viper Rooms, with loads of Z list celebs zonked out all over the place on those massive bean bags, off their faces on Joeys super strength, with portable de fibs on the wall just in case.

His fridge. We all need pics of his fridge

Especially yid4life who has been on here for years. Someone must have sent them over the edge and they just couldn't handle this twicky ickle spell they're in

spurs aren't daft*, there's no way they leave themselves on the line with a five year contract being paid up after 7 weeks of failed end of season.
This'll be part of why they're struggling to get someone in, and part could explain jumping for Tudor.
They've backed themselves into a corner though, and with the sands of time slipping by the more their hand is forced.

I expect Everton have learned after the martinez robbery that contract stipulations need to cover every possibility. (how he was allowed to swan off for an international contract whilst having his club contract with us paid in full being a significant kick in the balls).

Spurs want to survive and only reward the person that delivers that so far, but it's a lot of reputation to put on the line for very little reward for whoever accepts that deal.

They've let to many players turn on the respective managers of the time and continue failing to turn up with the goods on match days. It's an apathy that has spread through the whole rotten mess. It's in the couldn't care less stands, it's in the downed tools players, it's in the feckless board, and the endless line of clown managers is the icing on the cake.

To many ideals (and idealism) and not enough nuts and bolts football.

I suspect there's some break in the contract should they get relegated. No way they pay him up 5 years if they get relegated and he gets sacked and I suspect a massive staying up bonus in there too

@Creek bro where you at, you said you’d be here win, lose or draw?

Correct. Funny he was strutting round these pages like a rutting stag after they won the europa league.
Fair weather fans.

I was surprised when I saw De Zerbi's PL record. 26 wins from 70 games isn't fantastic and didn't win a game in first five with Brighton.
