Would honestly love too have seen vardys numbers with the supply Owen, shearer,Henry ,and many other great strikers had . And this great striker still doing it . But I’m very happy think he will still be here it two seasons scoring . His desire is insatiable. 😉😎🤞🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 18 February 2021 Share Posted 18 February 2021 (edited) Spurs are in huge trouble. As someone pointed out elsewhere it'll cost them £30m to sack Jose and we won't let Rodgers leave for anything less than the same amount. They're also in the biggest debt of world football (£1bn+) which is why they're having to take out huge loans. But they're also capable of making financial **** ups like paying £300k a week to a player who's clearly lost interest in playing not to mention a hell of a lot of his quality. Obviously when things open back up they'll start to clear that debt and profit from the stadium and non-footballing events again, but that's still a while off. But there's something that Puel said last year, about a conversation he had at Spurs in his last game there in January 2019: “The Spurs sporting director said, ‘You have a fantastic team with young players. We tried to find young English players and develop them for the future, but now at Tottenham we have a team for now, but not for the future. You have a team for the future’.” As far as I'm concerned that's still true. Their oldest XI this season had an average age of 28.7 (ours was 28.5, but had Kasper, Fuchs, Evans, Albrighton and Vardy in it pushing the number up). Their youngest XI was 26.5. Ours was 24.3 against AEK. We also have a number of players with high sale values and a very good history of replacing such players. The older the likes of Son and Kane get, their value drops as does interest from elsewhere. Selling one of those next summer would be a big deal for them IMO. But I can see Levy still refusing to sell. If they're not careful, they could fall into the trap that Leeds did after their Champions League season and end up going down. Not likely but I'd ****ing love it. Edited 18 February 2021 by urban.spaceman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 18 February 2021 Share Posted 18 February 2021 There's conflicting opinions. I've read that Levy will go to get Rodgers at some point, others say Rodgers wouldn't want to work for him and elsewhere that Nagelsmann and Hassenhuttl are the main contenders. It's definitely not a given he'll go to Tottenham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post King of Gipsy Lane Posted 21 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 February 2021 One of the Top 5 managers/coaches in Europe ! what he has done for so many of our squad is frightening ,they have all improved and look better players for his leadership and coaching genuinely sick in my tummy that we can’t be witnessing this amazing moment in our history , enjoy him while we can because this man is a super star coach ! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's anything other than realistic to believe we wouldn't have been relegated the following season, had he not been replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 He's toughened us up hugely in the past two months, one defeat in that time and even then we didn't play too badly. We've managed to grind out wins and get draws from less impressive performances as well as the impressive victories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both disappointing runs towards the end but both times overall he achieved more than what was expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Rodgers wouldn’t get on well at Spurs. They have the worlds tightest chairman and to get where they want to be they will need to spend money which they wouldnt be able to do as it would cost them 70 million to sack Jose and pay us off for Rodgers. Their fans are a million miles more entitled than ours as well. We all have a moan when he slings on 9 defensive minded players against Villa but most of us recognise he’s doing a brilliant job, just with a few niggles.

I totally agree, for me I will support a manager untill he loses the dressing room, if that happens he's clearly not a great manager, to change us to a passing side was a huge task, Ranieris failure was not capatisling on the transfer window summer of 2016, maybe it wasn't his fault, but for that 1 season he was a legend amongst our managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeTheFox Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Having one great half and then one bang average half has happened too often this season for it not to be deliberately surely. Think that's where Brendan has excelled over others (like Klopp). He has managed our energy so well allowing us to win games without running ourselves out too much. I said during our game against Liverpool that they will run themselves out and I really think they did. That balls to the wall style they had isn't feasible this year and Brendan has adapted us really well 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure he needs it if a big club came calling but i wouldn't blame him for putting his feet up for a few more months. Now, If you keep mourinho for the season then to me you stick with him next season. If you are going to fire him then do it now and get that new manager bounce while you still have a shot at qualifying for champions league. Will be interesting to see of kane sticks around our his agent starts to out feelers out. Oh and Rodgers is not going to spurs. Real Madrid, maybe .

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 I don’t get the BR to Spurs talk. Yes they might want him, but ask yourself where he will enhance reputation more? We are on the cusp of building ‘success’ (and we can discuss what that means) over a prolonged period. The club are being taken to that next level (training ground...) and Rodgers has a hugely exciting young squad to work with and improve. I’d go as far as saying it his ideal job in terms of his strengths. Sustaining us in the top 6 and a cup here and there and he’s a legend (and I think he can do better than that). Whereas that is the least of Spurs expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that came from the players or Ranieri himself because the way I remember it he started trying to set us up defensively and encouraged a passing game but the players didn't take to it. Ranieri. Was trying to change the players style and they didn't buy into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
