Roma really are a disgrace...Man Utd are the luckiest jammiest fecking team on the planet. They remind me of the character in the Fast Show who used to say things ,

 

"I just got back from having lunch with the pope. he really like my nobel prize. Wjhich was nice!"

 

or

 

"I found a pound coin and purchased a lottery ticket. Only won the jackpot. Which was nice"

The Times reporting 500 away fans allowed at the last two games of the season. So be Chelsea away for us 

If this was to be true then I would rather not bother for 1 game. Just make it for home fans only, then come next season, get it back to "normal".

They'd better not give any FA Cup final tickets to local residents if two days later 500 away fans across the country are allowed to travel to matches across all the leagues.

Ten Hag has extended his Ajax contract so he isn’t their new man

Actually starting to feel a little bad for Spurs fans.  Not that long ago they had one of the most exciting young squads in Europe, an outstanding young manager, regular European football and were about to move into one of the best stadiums in the world.  Now they've got the stadium but they've barely been able to sit in it.  Their squad's aging without being adequately refreshed with younger talent (indeed their last major signing was to bring Bale in as the 3rd oldest member of the team, 2nd oldest non-GK) and thanks to stadium debt and covid they lack the funds for a big rebuild of the squad.  On top of it all their enterprising young manager got binned off for struggling with the mounting squad imbalance and was replaced with a dinosaur who didn't really improve things but at least reached another cup final... at which point they too got the sack, mere moments after the club had announced its desires to join the mutinous 6 in the ESL...

 

Now after all that and with no European football on the horizon they're finding that no top managers in good jobs want to touch their club with a barge-pole, where do they actually go from here?

Tim Sherwood could complete the job.

Stop right there.

 

Being the league's laughing stock is the only thing they have left.

It's still pretty stunning though, even with all the previous mismanagement from Levy they probably could have attracted at least one of the better managers in Europe this summer regardless of whether Mourinho won them the trophy or got them into Europe. 

 

But then they had that bizarre 24h which has pretty much sealed their fate for the next couple of years with Levy cashing in all his chips thinking he could use ESL status to secure Spurs' financial future and attract the best managers.  Any of their fans that supported the pigheaded ESL move (and from what I've seen Spurs had more than most) absolutely deserve the fallout, but the ones who actually care about football have been properly shafted by their club's ownership. 

 

Now they'll have to settle for someone a bit less ambitious/more desperate and hope they can get the recruitment right to become competitive at the top end of the table again, but with the emergence of us and West Ham, perhaps Villa & Leeds, with Everton improving again, and with the other Super League teams starting to look like getting their act together on the pitch it's beginning to like a big ask for them to remain in the top 10 let alone Europe.  This is going to be a make or break summer for them I feel.
