Poyet Outright Favourite To Manage Toon

Agree HH, Poyet should come out and say he's not interested, although it is the Tottenham way to keep quiet until a move has been sealed.
What are your thoughts on Campbell "hinting" that he can't wait to get some experience ready for next season with Rudolph and the Rat.
I for 1, was willing to give the lad a chance, but coming out with things like that before he's even played a game for us, not good.

He'd be mental to take that job. If Ashley sells the club he'll be out on his ear. I reckon he probably doesn't even need to entertain the idea.

One thing i would say is that "sources" have said we won't give them permission to speak to him. Well we've heard that before. If they bung Levy a tenner he'll bury his principles no probs

Afternoon harry first time post here,been reading for a long time and finally decided to jump in love ur work by the way .Well he can go one of two ways, carry on his work with the magic juande and achieve something great and become even more of a legend! or he can join the poison dwarf up at the northern zebras and tread the same path as psb and bebabotoss as a disloyal c**t!!!

Ohhh how exciting the first to comment!!
And only the second time I've ever posted on here- I normally just enjoy and quietly agree or disagree to myself but this does concern me abit.
I remeber a few months ago Gus being tipped as Old Red Noses new assistant- something he came out quickly and put to bed. This time he hasn't been so quick off the mark.

Damn right.

I'd hate to lose Poyet. He's vital to the character within the club. If we lose him then it would be another big blow. Maybe Sheringham as the new no 2?

If it ever did happen... Which i can't see? Then Sheringham is a great shout as a No2 Mike, he is future management material also imo.

It's not gonna happen... The Geordie fans have already got it in for Wise, so i can't see him (DW) getting in his pal Poyet? It would be a PR disaster of massive proportions! I understand what you are saying Harry, about Poyet commenting on this... But the truth is he already said how happy he is at the Club, when Maunre were linked? If he had to comment on every bit of speculation he would go mad! Mark my words he is going nowhere.

As SpursDude mentioned, I am also concerned by Campbell's comments regarding looking forward to his united return.
Problem is, I thought we had turned over a new leaf with the Robbie & Berba saga in only keeping players commited to the clubs cause.
Now as a result of the last minute transfer scramble we have a loan player who already has his mind on Man united. Switched one United wantaway for another.
The rumours that Fergie practically ordered Campbell to take the spurs loan move makes it even more concerning.
I say keep him on the bench unless required and give Pav & Bent time (it may well take a while) to build up an understanding.

Very good point about committed players only, who should be at the Club, hopefully this is only a short term problem, which is swiftly resolved come January.

ITS ALL bs
if he leaves or doesnt who c a res

if he wants to go we should let him and just get some money in cos he aint that good anyway.
as for that man utd reject, should we not just let the little cnut have it, and maybe try to make a stand against little p*icks like him pulling on our shirt or are we going to do what we have always done and do nothing??
i for one will not be chearing the little p*ick when he gets a game!!!!!!

personally i feel our ideal number 2 in command should be able to speak spannish and english, so therefore i would like to nominate gloria estefan, after all, who in their right mind would not want her underneath them.

I hear he actually goes by the name Teddy

Lets give our own youth a chance and leave cambell to rot in our reserves as he obviously cant wait to get back to manchester.
I am sure our own home grown talent deserves it more than cambell ( and that name by the way ................ )

We should definitely have Frazier on his back, as someone rightly mentioned on here the other day!

Any news on how Gazza is getting on???

My vote is yours.......

If I were Gus, I wouldn't dignify all the spec about Noocarsul with a response, who in their right mind would want to manage that mess?


On a side-note, I can hereby judge, according to the lad on loan's comments, that we've got another cunt called campbell playing for us.

Let him play in the stiffs for the season, I don't want him sent back to OT "a better player".


Jumped up little prick.

Unlucky 3rd! never mind one day it might happen

25's my favorite number

Cheryl Cole to take over at Newcastle. Cheryl & Ashley MkII. A match made in heaven.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a mate of Wise's will take over, but not our Gus. Zola, Gianfranco that is; not Budd.

Harry don't be hard on those 'bs' guys. They are pissed off and very upset with all the nonsense we have seen in the last few weeks, as I am. Now we have the manu kid talking like Berba and poyet has not made a statement. If Newcastle get the Indian than 6th place is the only one up for grabs behind city united arse chelskie, neuk. When you lose something so dear to you.... dont you feel like 'nothing really matters, nothing really matters to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

'anymore'

Now as a result of the last minute...

1.) Hertspur, Pav is cup tied. We can't just leave Frasier C. on the bench, he needs to be in the mix and build a relationship with Bent as well.

2.) The papers say ashley will sell the club and Keegan might come back, that's what the Barcode fans want. I think it possible that Gus would take the chance to be Manager if a new owner come in, but I doubt he would go up there under Ashley or a second fiddle.

3.) If he does go, Wendy had better take some English classes. The Manuel the waiter image is not good for Spurs from a PR stand point or on the pitch.

Or as david pleat's case, he payed for the first fiddle, and expected to have second one on the house.

Sheringham would be ideal. What with his cross eyes, he'd be the only assistant manager in the league who could sea the whole pitch from the dugout.

The bloke could look a hammerhead shark in both eyes at the same time.

I don't think we should assume Citeh are nailed on for a place in the top 6, not this year anyway. Certainly if the Cartoons get taken over they'd need about 15 players to make the top half and so I'm not overly worried.
The problem will come down the line especially with our wage structure if teams will offer double the £60k max they'd get from us we could be left behind.

1. Gus needs to know that the management/board/we value him. He knows he's onto a good thing at Spurs, and from his last statement when linked with the Manure No.2 job, he stated this position. Now whether its an improved contract, or whether a word in private - Gus should be made to feel there is no other place to be. I for one, see him as eventual successor to Ramos - a long way in the future I hope. But lets not kid ourselves, staring with 11th and 1 cup in the first part season, and (hopefully) the champions league by the 2nd/3rd season and more cups, will have people clamouring for Juande's signature as the new boss of their club. The fragile thread that holds us all together is some strange belief that we can work wonders with this board-management-squad-and just enough £££'s and wins to keep it glued together. The moment the £'s don't seem enough, or we don't win enough, or the faith in the board-management-squad starts to waver - thats the end of any team/optimism. At every opportunity this has to be reinforced and words from Gus would help of course, unless he's actually feeling undervalued?

2. When you're young, you tend not to know when to keep your trap shut. This comes with maturity and being aware who your audience is, If he was naive enough to think that he was just addressing ManUre fans, then FC was mistaken - how ever much he tries on the pitch.

Interviewer: "Fraizer, how do you think the Spurs fans are taking to you? Is that a bit of red on your shirt?"
FC: "Yes. Blud"

3. Ultimately the most sensitive souls are we the fans. No news is good news? Possibly, but rarely so for us YIDS. We worry if there is a lack of any sign that everything is well. The lack of news of key signatures, the lack of any word re-iterating that they love Spurs - a possible player, an existing player, a manager, Doris the tea lady! We need to know or else our worries will come to the fore again.

I'm so bored of this international rubbish. i hate it in fact. Maybe its because i'm Irish, with a choice of two very bad teams to follow. i live in teh North, follow the south. Twisted, but that's life. And anyway, they are both useless, so I should follow neither.
Really looking forward to the footie kicking off again for us tomorrow week. Hopefully a home win against Villa, followed by another home win against Krakow on Thursday and, fingers crossed, a hat-trick of home wins against Pompey on Sunday (at least I think its Pompey).
Imagine, this time two weeks we have 3 wins under our belts? 3 wins, 3 cleans sheets, and a new hero in Pavlyuchenko

Wigan actually our 3rd home game in the week, even more of an opportunity to make it three wins in a row.

Someone was talking about Jose Dominguez on another thread.... how about little Jose for assistant? Unlike the Scab Sheringham, he didn't leave under a cloud. In fact, IIRC, the fans loved the little fella!

Is it really possible that Poyet will leave? How could he countenance moving on so soon, and leaving the project at Spurs half-cocked?

He and Ramos both quit clubs for Spurs. I don't know if we had permission to talk to Poyet. I assume Sevilla would have said 'no', had we asked for permission to speak to Ramos. So we did it anyway.

Anyone who changes sides once can change sides again. I'm too long in the tooth to believe it can't happen, but still too sentimental to hope it won't. I'd regret him leaving, as I suppose him to be a nucleus of energy.

Correct me if I'm wrong. As far as I understand it, THFC were not required to get permission to speak to Ramos, as he was in the last year of his contract.

Yes, the whole affair was all a bit shnidey (mainly in the way Jol was treated), but we did't actually break the rules.

That bit is something made up by surrey united 'fans' to call us hypocrites and therefore feel better about 'their' farway club.

Oh yeah, not sure about what happened with us approaching Poyet...

Anyway, COYS!

I didn't know that, frontwheel.

In a funny sort of way, I feel less 'complicit by association' in the recruitment of Ramos. I know the episode remains one of our yuckiest - especially the treatment of Jol - but, if we observed proper respect for the rules and regs, then we're legally in the clear.

None of us can put himself in Poyet's head, but Toon seems a tinder-box ready to ignite. A new owner may sweep away the administration, but the burden of history and expectation will remain.

I'm sure the club reads this blog and other sites. It seems a logical inference to make, as valuable insight can be gained into what issues are significant to fans, and which need responding to. The internet is a powerful tool.

So, if you're reading this, Gus, do us the honour of staying and assisting in taking us to the top four. We like you. And your work here is not yet done.

Legalities aside, he'd be absolutely barking mad to take that job.

He'd go from being practically adulated at the lane to being hated up in the toon.

I don't actually mind the barcodes, they love their footie (blah, blah...) and they keep on even though they've won fuck all since before colour tv came out.

They deserve something better than that wanker Wise getting his mates in.

It's also a shame that Gus is his mate, but I was taught years ago that you can't tell your mates who to choose as their other mates.

Part of me still worries that he hasn't publicly distanced himself, like he did when Rudolf wanted him as his number two.

Hopefully he just doesn't feel he needs to give credence to the whole thing.

If Gus is were to join the Toon Army at this moment it would suggest he is stupid so we would be better off without him.

Amen to much of the above.


Who, Prison Councillors to oneside, would want to 'work' with Wise - TWICE?

Black cabbies?

Blue Peter gardeners?

Hello Harry

Been an avid reader for a while now and finally decided to join in the banter.

Regarding Poyet from the Beeb: Everton boss David Moyes and former Juventus coach Didier Deschamps are among the names being considered, BBC 5 Live's Jonathan Legard understands.

But Legard believes a link-up between Wise and another former Chelsea team-mate, Gus Poyet - currently assistant manager at Tottenham and the bookmakers' early favourite for the job - is not on the cards.

Lets hope so as old Gus has the potential to be a legg end!

P.S this is definitely the best Spurs blog on the web & the one with the best wit. Keep up the good work.

Good post mate, I agree we are perennial victims, how ironic we are called the Yids!

I think you're right tho' Gus would be mad to go to Newcastle, either he's working with the crazy gang or he'll be out the door when India or Dubai or some other rich third world despot decides that their multi million dollar investment needs a Sven or a Jose to make them cosy at night.

I'd really like to believe that he actually does have the badge next to his heart the way he did when he played.

Would it be unkind of me to point out that in the 'clean sweep' at Toon that Pictionary has managed to survive the cull?

Unbelieveble. That biy is like sh*t on a blanket when it comes to saving his own skin.

bottom line. If he takes the Toon job. He's a fuuuuuckin' idiot. Someone that stupid, we can do without.
