The Premier League Thread

Poachers turned gamekeepers.

 

That puts a sixth of a £20 million fine into context.

 

Should be £20 million each, transfer ban for minimum one year and a 10 point deduction for start of next season. That might make them think ……

 

Oooh I bet they're terrified of paying that combined £20m should they go at it again

 

The worst part isn’t the weak weak weeeaak fine.

It’s that a 30 point deduction is a completely weak deterrent, what the hell does it matter in their b-team competition?

If they do it again the punishment should be immediate expulsion from the English pyramid.

They cannot be allowed to do both.

 

This

 

Pathetic 'punishment'

 

How long do we think Fonseca will last at Spurs?

 

Wasn’t he linked to us before we hired Puel? Or am I thinking of someone else

 

Yep he was. It’s a deeply uninspiring appointment, for me

 

I don’t really know enough about him to comment.

Not sure who else they could go for who realistically would take the job. They could go 2 directions, first is find a manager who can persuade Kane to stay and potentially win something in the next season or 2. Other option is accept Kane is gone for big money and find a manager who you want to back with that cash and give them a couple of years to build the team.

I assume Levy would want option 1

 

Wasn't that Rudi Garcia (once of Roma)? Or was Fonseca also linked to us?

 

Both, I think. Man, we've been linked with a whole lot of managers. Remember when Thomas Tuchel was being talked about...

 

Moyes in process of agreeing three year extension to his West Ham contract. So that's Everton out the window.

It's interesting how much Everton/Spurs are struggling to get a manager worth their salt. Puts it into perspective a bit for those that want Ralph out.

 

It's entirely possible that the only person who talked about Tuchel was me, though.

And I'd have reconsidered if I'd known how much his receding hairline would make him look like someone who ate the entrails of co-eds on a Saturday evening.
