Premier League 2020/21 Thread

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.

Well they're too late to get Pearson.

avid Moyes has been named Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards after turning West Ham from relegation contenders into Champions League contenders.

The Scot has been recognised for the brilliant job he has done at the London Stadium and saw off a shortlist that included Emma Hayes and Thomas Frank to claim the prize at a virtual ceremony on Tuesday night.

 

West Ham are just three points off fourth sport and Moyes is also likely to be up for the LMA Manager of the Year award along with managers including Pep Guardiola and Brendan Rodgers.

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

Clubs should be solely focused on getting as many home fans in for their match in May.

 

Focus on away fans for next season, home fans are the only priority now.

When you come to her door with flowers and a ring … and she responds by grabbing her boyfriend and heading off to the bedroom … that would actually be a rejection, yes lol

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?

Championship with a bit of luck :D

Would tend to agree, despite my jesting at their expense, and with regards to the Super League, I wonder what Poch would have done were he still manager at that point. He seemed principled, but guess you never know. :dunno:

Okay, so another big day of football ahead of us today.

Here’s what I am hoping for:

Man City V Crystal Palace - Palace win, let Man Utd go into their game with Liverpool still thinking there’s a slight sniff of Man City bottling it.

Leeds V Brighton - Leeds win, Leeds still have an outside chance of reaching 7th spot, get a win today and fire them up to do over Spurs next week.

Chelsea V Fulham - Come on the cottagers - snatch a point from the rich kids down the road.

Everton V Villa - Come on the Villa!!! They play Everton twice, Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd if they can get some end of season form, they can really help us out.

Anyone know when Grealish is back?

Bielsa to Spurs if he doesn’t extend at Leeds

Are you quite mad?  He's done this with every contract forever.  Big suggestion he may sign for two years this time though, which would be something he's never done.
