Gutting if we don't hang on, but if 'pool can manage nine on the bounce to finish the season and sneak it then you have to say fair f**ks to them.
Much as I despise them.😖

Leeds and Everton going down would be great banter.

Really hope Leicester stay up because I don’t Harry Souttar back in the Championship, but they look like they’ve got the hardest run home.

Nah Forest toughest run.

I think Forest, Leeds and Southampton will go down. Forest have the worst goal difference and I could see them losing all 3. I fancy Leicester to beat west ham and Everton to beat Bournemouth.

So it’ll be Coventry vs Luton for a spot in the Premier League. Coventry havent been in the Premier League for about 20 years and Luton Town would be one of the smallest clubs to play in the Premier League if they win.

Unbelievable.

Certainly is. For the earlier rounds Coventry were going horrible and we’re dead last for some time. Then something clicked and they started climbing the ladder. We went with them after our poor start but they kept going after we stalled.

Both teams have the number 2 & 3 top goal scorers in the league.

Aston Villa did us a big favour this morning. United only need one point to secure 4th. Home games against Chelsea and Fulham to come. It could of been worse for Liverpool but Firminio has kept them in the race………just.

That was some freaky goal by Casemiro this morning as well by the way.

Yeah and Spurs fans are kicking off about it. They definitely do not want him. Its deja vu, I remember Celtic fans were doing the same thing when they got Ange, now they’re all licking his boots.

Haha yeah I had a read on their forum too, it’s quite humorous how arrogant/entitled some of their fans are. Tottenham are harping on about getting a big name such as Naglesmann or Luis Enrique. Look at the past big name managers they have had recently (Mourinho, Conte, AVB, Ramos), none of them worked out. I’d say Poch was their biggest success and he wasn’t really a big name when they signed him.

Also, they keep saying his achievements in Scotland are moot because it’s a two horse race yet Naglesman who they want so bad had Bayern running second in a league where Bayern had won it every year since 2013.

I’m not sure if Spurs is the right move for Ange though. Their squad isn’t particularly good and level of patience might be low. I’d like to see him go somewhere like Palace first to establish himself in the Prem. They have some exciting players that would suit his entertaining brand (Eze, Zaha, Olise) and Hodgson will probably retire. He would get more time there and the expectation wouldn’t be as high. I also selfishly don’t want to have to support Spurs.

what forum are you referring to? , im on just about all of them and know locally what the bulk of the fanbase is harping and calling for ,
what you are saying seems like the exact opposite tbh .
Spurs biggest problem is their chairman and he has been for years.
i don't want Ange anywhere near tottenham but thats based on the chairman and him being a massive bellend ( control freak ) and us not having a DOF .
Luis enrique would be a disaster and the fanbase know it , nagelsmann made sense but why appoint anyome without a DOF?
DOF has to be the priority
What you've written seems so far off the mark though mate
Apart from our fans being entitled and arrogant which i 100 percent agree with
I hate our fan base with a passion but that's purely because they are weak as piss
Please lets not call AVB a big name manager when trying ton poke fun though lol
Tottenham are a mess but finally everyone is waking up to the problem and that is one Daniel Levy

Management - Next Manager Poll (poll reset 11/04/23)

It was always nagelsman or slot for me, anyone else is just underwhelming.

If you take a look in this thread, there are heaps of people shooting down Ange and making it out like Spurs are completely out of his league. I disagree with that.

AVB was a big name manager at the time you signed him, he was touted as the next Mourinho. I’m not trying to poke fun mate, I was being serious.

Also I don’t disagree that Levy is part of the problem. Doesn’t take away from what I’ve mentioned though.
