    He does look odd. Made me think of Steve Buscemi in Con Air.

    Looks ominous for our first game of the season. The first few fixtures have not really been kind to us but I think that the three teams who will struggle will be Norwich, Brentford and Brighton - the latter will implode if they lose White. I am looking forward to Saints starting the campaign with a totally refreshed squad.

    I don’t think Brighton will struggle, and if they lose White, they’ll have £50m to spend too.

    If they manage to get a decent striker I'd expect them to finish above us tbh.

    Exactly. And it looks like they’ve got £ to spend without selling anyone. Oh, those heady days <doh>

    How many times can one club miss out on a managerial appointment in the same summer? At this rate the only option left to Spurs/Levy will be to stick with Mason.

    It is quite amusing.

    Mason's a better option than Gattuso, who is a weapons-grade dipshit.

    Nagelsmann, Rodgers, Flick, Ten Hag, Pochettino, Conte, Fonseca, Gattuso...have I missed anyone? This is beyond Spursy.
    At this rate they will be getting Tim Shearwood back <laugh>

    My prediction is that Levy will start the season with himself as manager. After all, how difficult can it be, once you've got your 'Roy of the Rovers' manager's manual?

    Now we've reached the "Jurgen Klinsmann, unprompted, calls Levy to express interest" stage. Man, it's one thing to be desperate, it's another to be so hard up that Jurgen Klinsmann thinks he might catch you in a weak moment.

    Spurs search for a manager just keeps getting funnier and funnier.

    It seems that no one wants to manage in the premier League at the moment. I'm guessing for foreign managers the covid situation will have an affect as they don't know whether or not they would have to isolate going back and forth.

    It's more to do with money I think. Favre wasn't happy with the transfer budget he would have been working with.
