    Nuno Espírito Santo and his coaching staff have been relieved of their duties.

    "The Italian manager was known to be interested in replacing under-fire Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, it is Spurs who will be now managed by the serial winner." ....all because we lost to them and saved Ole's job? Conspiracy theories anyone....????

    Conte wants big spending spree in January, has requested several players

    Its possible - not likely, but possible - that Levy & the board have finally accepted that big spending is objectively necessary, based not only on the dire situation on the pitch and the number of managers we've chewed up and spat out but also on the changing situation with Newcastle...

    COUTINHO

    What's so bizarre about the suggestion Poch didn't rate him? He was great for Liverpool but has now failed to really make a proper impact first at Barca and now Bayern. Doesn't mean he is rubbish and still wouldn't hate it if he came here but its clear that not all managers love him for...

    Which is fairer? Coronavirus implications

    There's no question that voiding the season would be a BEST outcome from a Spurs perspective. Not only do we get back in the champs league but we also get a reasonably normal offseason and give Mourinho a proper chance to prepare for the 20/21 season. Quite aside from how awful a rushed end to...

    Jenas: The transfer window is too long

    Agree that its an interesting perspective in the article. Obviously I hate it when our best players leave, but there is a pecking order in the world of football and it would be silly to try and deny it. And frankly, if I had anything like the same level of restriction on my own career that we...

    Watford withdraw interest in Benjamin Stambouli

    I think it was mentioned in another article somewhere that he helps PSG with their quota of home-grown players, being French. But I also think that Levy was within his rights here: if a deal is already agreed with Watford at a certain price then anyone coming to the table later has to beat...

    Match day protest to target Tottenham fans over new stadium plans

    Of those 3,000-odd homes scheduled for demolition, how many of those demolitions are a direct result of the stadium plans? Probably less than 1% if that is my guess. The protestors are playing fast and loose with the truth. Yes, there is a acute housing shortage in London and its only getting...

    The Case For Frank de Boer...continued

    I agree that all three options have some element of risk about them. In many ways Benitez is the most proven and will almost certainly bring us some success but equally he will almost certainly not be with us very long for one reason or another. Pochettino is EPL-seasoned and seems to have...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Copacabana Edition 16th May 2014

    After several years I've finally worked out how this ITK thing works. The people close to the top brass who really are ITK are feeding utter porkies to the rumour mill to create a smokescreen. The people a little further removed are repeating said misinformation with various additional twists...

    The Tim Sherwood appreciation thread ...

    Include me amongst those who were completely mystified by the level of hate. Don't get me wrong, I agree that he was too inexperienced to be the man long term, but do we honestly think we would have done much better this season with anyone else? You're dreaming if you are. Changing managers...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Aero Edition 9th May 2014

    Much as we all love to hate Sherwood, personally I blame the loss of Bale for the issues this season. Last season he bailed (no pun intended) us out of a number of games we were going to lose - it was happening so often I was worried that we were going to get in trouble with the FA for...

    Sherwood has gone!

    I am willing to believe that Tim might not be as tactically astute as the top prem managers. However I am NOT willing to believe that he is less tactically astute than the idiot who started this thread......quite how he can be so certain of all Tim's shortcomings after just a couple of games is...

    Redknapp Out; Villas-Boas In

    Honestly I don't think I've ever heard a bigger load of nonsense in all of my life. Yes, we're all disappointed that we haven't done better this season, yes we have some problems clearly but give harry a chance to fix it! Last season was our best season in the premiership EVER. Think about...

    [Update 364] Nicko:Update on Chimbonda

    I think that the reason for that is that clubs really do put the news out there as soon as its all done and dusted. These deals take a long time to tie up, and some never truly make it, hence all the rumours in the meantime. Some people just think that the ITKs aren't really ITK because of...

    We're almost there...

    I agree with most of what you're saying, but I have to say the biggest thing we need from here to the future is STABILITY. After yet another offseason of upheaval we've yet again found ourselves with a bad start, and dropped points which could prove crucial in the race for those 4-6 spots...
