Paulo Fonseca in advanced talks with Spurs. Jesus he must of been what their 5th choice… Likes of Naglesmann, ten Hag, Pochettino and Conte all wanted/approached before him.

Hope their managerial search keeps going for a few weeks yet. And the longer it does go on, the even more likely that Kane will leave them I think. Conte or Pochettino were probably the only 2 managers on that list who could encourage him to stay or at least have a higher chance. 

Even that big lump Mido that used to play for Spurs in 2004-7 is tweeting criticising Daniel Levy questioning him and saying he’s more interested in making money than bringing Spurs on another level. 🤣

Apparently Fonseca is the main choice of their new DoF Paratici.

But overall, Levy has been one confused man in all of this. He said last month that he wanted a manager that plays attacking/entertaining football and uses players from the academy but then suddenly tried to get Conte, even though we all knew that it will never happen for obvious reasons. At least the other names sort of fit into that bill but whoever takes that job is gonna have a tough job on their hands.

I mean he’s not done anything particularly interesting in his career. Its not always a fair barometer of how good a manager he is but again underwhelming spells at Porto, bit better at Braga, good spell at Shakhtar then a meh spell at Roma. It looks very middle of the road.

Its more the circus of how they’ve gone from looking at 2/3 top class options to scraping the barrel for someone, who’s just been replaced by the man they sacked also 😂.

 From Pochettino to Conte to Fonseca who ? 😄 Bye , bye  Harry .

Spuds things .

After failing to land Conte, Spuds should have taken a punt on Potter, a young, hungry manager with potential who might turn out to be as good as Poch was for them.

Fonseca is about as uninspiring as they get, so sometimes I have to feel a little bit sorry for those long suffering fans who never get to see their team even win an egg cup.🤣

TBF, Fonseca had a good reputation before he went to Roma. Not sure his reputation has really gone south after the stint at Roma but on paper at least, think he fits what Levy wants at Spurs. And given what Spurs can and can't afford financially, they were never going to attract a top class manager and they have always been a club who build up good teams but never have enough about them to go on and win titles.

One change that will result from the thicker lines is that broadcasters and TV viewers will no longer see the process of drawing the offside line, just the final result.

wtf

How will this work?When both lines get thicker,it does not make a difference. if both lines or rather stripes now are still the same width, the edges of the lines will still underlap if there is an offside. The only sensible thing would be to make only the blue onside line that is drawn along the defender thicker so it overlaps the red offside line.

What did you expect my friend, its all bent, as if this new way would somehow eliminate manipulation. If they were legit and not bent then we would see and hear how they came to whatever outcome, they would be mic'ed up, and the refs allowed to be questioned and interviewed........fucking corrupt bastards. Just wait for next season if they can see we are going for the title, you'll see.

What happened to giving the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team on a close offside call!?
