I wonder if Jamie O'Hara, Chris Sutton and other shock-jocks will call Spurs a "joke club" for sacking a manager after a few games? Or is that reserved for Watford only?

Well considering Watford do it religiously I don't think it's comparable
 
He was never going to be a good fit at Spurs. Needed a rest after not seeing his family for 18 months but obviously couldn't turn the chance down. Hope he comes back and starts playing the way we did in his first 2 years. Was great football to watch.

I really believe he was just mentally jaded from getting us overperforming despite minimum investment for several years. He needed a break but you can't really give your manager a sabbatical in top flight football, so we sacked him instead. It's no accident he then had a year off after that.

Yeah, I can see that. It worked out well for Poch though!

Jamie Ohara accused the players of not trying, if anyone knows about zero effort it's him.

I don't know how he's ended up with air time to talk about football. His career was an abject failure, he could have held down a position in our midfield but he ended up as a mercenary for Billericay. What a joke of a man.
 
It’s no wonder Nuno’s gone. He a player who didn’t want to be there or be allowed to drop him.
No doubt like the Man Utd fans we will now hear the Tottenham way spiel.......
Im just glad those heavy leather balls are played no more.
 
This makes the managerial situation even more interesting.

Newcastle looking for a manger, they now have a pot of cash to tempt the big names.

Spurs looking for a new manager

Utd might be looking for a new manager (they will certainly be looking right now even if they don't act on it)

2 definitely on the lookout, a 3rd possibly, all looking in the same talent pool.
 
Always going to be tough for Nuno being 5 th choice for job , not surprised he’s been sacked especially after Levy said he wants to go back to our attacking style of play and ending up with the complete opposite

Dreadful run of defeats I was never a fan of Jose but some of the tactics and performances of the players were even worse than that.

Silver lining is looks like Levy has Conte lined up.

Does it? Because it looked like that before, then he told us to sod off. He doesn't work without the promise of money being spent on the squad - I'm pretty sure that's where it fell apart last time.

The problem with Conte is he needs assurance that money will be spent. That's why he left Inter and why he wouldn't sign with us in summer. Perhaps if he does sign it simply means Kane will be sold in January and the money spent on the team. Might be the best thing for it now - we've already been linked to Lautaro Martinez who played for Conte at Inter.

Wanna swap Kane for Pogba?

Mind you, I'd be perfectly happy with Ronaldo and Cavani if they can stay fit enough for the next 2-3 years. Age is just a number.
