Any top Manager is going to look at the money Pochettino has been given to spend and the results he’s got and conclude that this is an impossible job.

Who is £100 million not enough for then? I don't agree with the idea of managing THFC is in any way 'an impossible job', not with the squad of players we have available and with our infra-structure. Where do you get the idea that last season's Champions League finalists present an impossible job for anyone to manage? Sorry mate, but that's just nonsense.

Seriously?
Mourinho spent about 300m or more at Man U and publicly complained it wasnt enough to compete.
Granted he's a dick though.

For the most part, Mourinho complained about the squad quality (quite rightly), and was given very expensive but poor quality players.

This is where people shouldn't judge success/quality on money spent, but the quality of the signings themselves. I recall he wanted a few of ours over the time he was there (e.g. Rose/Alderwiereld/Dier) and Ed bought players in the likes of Bailly, Dalot and Fred instead - none of which he seemed to actually want.

Dumb question but you’re Daniel Levy and you currently have a manager in the middle of the season, why are you meeting a potential successor in public for all to see and destroy whatever goodwill currently exists between high level folks at club? I don’t buy that he met with Ancelloti.

Or maybe, he is just meeting with him to discuss a variety of other things. Ancelloti is a very experienced and respected football dude. So they could be chatting about other stuff, like youth development, scouting networks, previous players he's worked with. That's even if they did meet. I wouldn't make assumptions.

He did the very same with Ranieri when we considering bringing in a new Manager many Managers ago.

With the complete rebuild we have to do, the little money that will come in sales, no CL revenue and Daniel Levy as chairman who would snap anyones hands off for 200m for Kane to fund the rebuild and leave us worse off since he’s allergic to actually investing in the squad, it is an impossible job. Levy’s negligence has left us in such bad shape for the future

He really wouldn’t. The only way Kane leaves is if Kane pushes hard for it imo.

Or at least I hope that’s the case! If this season continues as it has gone so far, and we lose Kane at the end of it...I’d happily lead the fucking riot!!

there's no way in any universe kane would be forced out, even for 200m. the stadium would be empty, or burnt to the ground, or both. levy would be strung up from the nearest lamp-post.

The Moura thing is actually quite easy to see.

We’ve had similar players through the years. World beater every now and then, is a total passenger at other times. One thing Lucas Moura has never been in his career, is consistent. I don’t think Jose or Ancelotti for that matter, would play him anymore than what Poch does

Totally agree he appears in some games and vanishes in others

One situation to watch is what's going on at Napoli.

Carlo Ancelotti is in charge, in his 2nd season I believe, but things aren't going too well at the moment.

Napoli's form hasn't been great, currently 7th in the league, although likely to qualify for knockout stage of CL. After a recent 0-0 draw vs Genoa, the owner's son came down to the dressing room to demand that the players & manager head straight off to a training retreat to help try and rediscover their form. This led to a heated altercation and the players essentially ignored the request and went home. Ancelotti didn't argue and he and the owner have publicly disagreed with each other in recent weeks after previously having a good relationship.

Italian Ultras are notoriously weird and take football WAY too seriously. As an example of this, Allan, one of their best players, had his house broken into whilst his pregnant wife was home and another player (Zielinski I think) had his car vandalised. The owner has had an offer from the middle east to sell the club so if he does then this probably resolves the situation. If he doesn't then there's every chance that Ancelotti leaves the club, along with most of their best players as it's been perceived that the squad has reached the end of a cycle and needs to be blown up - sounds familiar doesn't it?

My chelsea mate said Ancelotti was brilliant for them. He loved him and the football they played under him and never understood why he left Chelsea.

IMO he'd be an excellent appointment and actually, we could do a lot worse than looking to sign players like Allan, Zielinski, Fabian Ruiz. Equally Ghoulam the left back is very good.

he’s the session musician of football management. Not very exciting but really good at what he does. I’d have him

When that list of managers got voted on with all sorts of names on there, where was Lampard, Pep or Klopp? I mean we're just as likely to bring any of those three in as Wenger, Pleat or De Boer who only lasted four games last time he tried to work in the EPL.

(And with that, Spurslove turned all the lights off, locked all the doors and windows and went and hid in the broom cupboard).

.

I don’t know if anyone remembers this but it’s been in my head while people were busy rolling around laughing at what a failure he is after two games: Lampard, unfortunately, has a really high IQ.* i know. Appalling. But true. That doesn’t make him an astute manager, or detract from the abysmal taste that characterises the way he talks about things, nor does it take away from the fact I will always regard him a disgusting piece of shit for the time he announced that it makes him ‘angry’ when people say footballers earn too much and they deserve every penny. However, since I found that out I started filtering out his godawful estuary-gone-flat, and between the stinging cliches he‘s much more articulate than any other footballer, and if you watch him, he‘s very internal, absorbs things and when they emerge again from him they’re reshaped by unusual consideration. Normally, while he’s doing this the dead air is being filled by rio and the rest‘s hooting and bellowing.

*I couldn’t believe it when I first heard this but they ran various mental tests on footballers in order to investigate the potential effects of heading te ball all the time, and were surprised to find, incidentally, frank has an extremely high iq - not just high but anomalously so, so I’d imagine 150 or above. The researcher doing the tests said it was higher than his. This at least proves intelligence has very little to do with qualities I think more worthwhile (intuition, taste, feel..) as he’s a fucking cabbage and probably the archetypal met bar patron
