I feel sorry for Stellini, it isnt his fault he was put in this position. Yes he accepted it but who wouldnt if you were offered more money and a potential bonus for CL qualification. He comes across well at times although has shown that he isnt really a tactician

He's been dealt a bad hand to be fair. We're stripped to the bone by injuries in key positions and the players seem to have given up. I'm not completely surprised tbh given the dire football they've been expected to play for a few years now. Giving him the caretaker job was a big mistake though being as he's exactly the same as Conte without a few key ingredients, and Conte had already lost the dressing room. I think Stellini has to go and I think Mason would at least change things up a bit for the time being. This season is already in the bin and Europa Conference is probably as high as we can get, and missing out on that isn't a catastrophe.

Is there any evidence for that, apart from the fact that he was a better player than Mason? Not saying you're necessarily wrong but people seem to overrate coaches/managers based on their playing ability which is completely irrelevant to the job at hand.

Don't think we have a great choice for the next few games.

At least he played and won titles and was under title winning coaches , surely he picked up some coaching knowledge, short term nothing to lose.

He was a beast of a player and would certainly get more response out of this sorry lot, probably more than Mason who has been part of the coaching team and would make little difference imo.

Call for Harry Redknapp
Click to expand...
Daniel Levy is sitting on a white throne in the halls of Minas Tirith. His lords implore him to light the beacons, but he refuses again and again. Meanwhile little hobbit Ryan Mason races through the streets getting higher and higher up the citadel until he reaches a beacon, he tosses in a match and it’s engulfed in flames.

Beacons start following suit all across London and then down the M3 all the way to Sandbanks.

The doors of Redknapp castle burst open and in rushes Jamie!

“Father! Father! The beacons have been lit! Tottenham calls for aid!”

Harry looks up from his racing post, hang dog eyes filling with emotions.

“Triffic.”

Is this the biggest shambles yet under Levy?

It certainly feels like it. We've imploded previously with 2pts from 8 games under Ramos with Fraiser Campbell and Bent as our strikers, we got hammered 6 and 5 by City and Liverpool under AVB, Redknapp and Sherwood to the rescue on those occasions but when you consider how much of a mess our squad is with about 8 RWB's and no decent CB's, our GK's aged 35 and 36 and one or both likely to leave in the summer, our top goalscorer 1 yr left on his deal, Danjuma and Kulu's loans due to expire, a director of football who has been banned from football which 'surprised the club' a ton of injuries and an assistant manager to the sacked manager continuing to lead us I'd say this is the biggest shambles yet under Levy.

There is no quick fix to this at all unfortunately but as A&C says there are some very good managers out of work right now, just agree with one of them and get them in ASAP as this is an utter mess right now and giving this mess to Mason won't solve much, I don't think Redknapp and Mason together will fix it either but at least Redknapp would be an outside voice for a few games but ideally we just need the new manager agreed ASAP to give everyone some sort of lift.

Stellini IN.

We need to burn this shit to the ground and someone needs to light the match.

Our Italian hobbit is the man for the job IMO.

Parker till end of the season and Nagelsmann from July announced sharpish would do me. Not sure Parker would agree to it but it would be a decent scenario.

Maybe we should not have a manager for the rest of the season as a message to the players. You can't work with anyone so see how you do without anyone.

Surely Simon Davies is the best bet?

Managed Anderlecht when Kompany decided he needed to be a player rather than player manager for half of his first season there.

Has managed City u21s and youth teams, is now Head of methodology with us.

Mason and Powell as assitants. Vorm as GK-coach. Rest of the staff from within.

Edit: Some research - he was care-taker and later manager for Chester City 08-09 and won 4 of 29 games. He managed Anderlecht for 5 games and won zero. So maybe not the best idea.

Actually he sounds like he'd fit right in with that record!
