I think I am picturing the one you're thinking of... Except I am looking at Neil Sullivan in it. 😂

In what sense is this 'retro' it has nothing to do with anything Spurs have ever done ever‽

100%, it's really what I was getting at when I said that one can't truly exist without the other. Just a silly thought experiment.

Although I might just be looking for something that isn't there, I've read, but not watched. So I've probably made some incorrect assumptions.

No, but it's a not so subtle inference if you talk about still believing in the old manager's approach and say nothing to suggest you're on board with the current man.

I always bitch about the people I work for indiscreetly in the company of interested journalists and without specifying assume that it's totally off the record and will go no further.
Seems totally normal to me.

The timing is certainly interesting... Especially since he is one of those who has had a more visible moment of friction with Frank.

Obviously it's a bit silly, because the manager and squad are a bit dependent on each other to have come into existence. But Mourinho came along thinking he could turn that squad (which was mature a bit like his Inter team) into winners, but he couldn't.
What would Poch achieve with this squad...

There is another way of thinking about this.
What if...
Specifically, what if x manager had the prime Poch era squad.
If Ange had them, what would he have achieved? Probably a number of cups, but less consistent league form. If Frank had them? Probably much less fun football and worse results.

Think of Operations people in any business. It's the guy in charge of people who do all the admin, from contracts, to making sure the team bus is in the right place at the right time.
Obviously this is someone who's to of the pile, but they are in charge of implementing, not deciding.

I think very little.
An appointment (the role, not the specific individual) that has been planned for some time and is someone whose role is Ops, so implementation and process, rather than decision making around direction etc.

Deliver. We also need a plan which is bigger than one man, so if they leave, if it's gone stale, if the time has come to change, there is a clear plan to continue with what we're doing as a club.
Is Frank that man? Can he ever be?I wish he were, but I can't ignore the evidence of my own eyes.

Remember finishing about 17th constitutes improvement... Surely no fan thinks that is our watermark.
I too want consistency, I want us to find the guy and stick with him. I want us to build that person a team. But that has to come from someone who we can broadly back, who has a plan and who can

As of today, we have no idea what Tottenham Hotspur is about. There is no consistent message and no correlation between what the manager is saying and what we're seeing.
He says he wants positive football but the team is so far from that. The club wants to build and be more, but then we're told to

Approach to playing football and from the wider leadership in terms of squad building.
Arteta had a serious early rough patch & Pep won nothing in year 1 at City. But their clubs persisted because the plan was clear.
I think that's the issue we all have with Spurs, not just now, but since Poch.

I think it's complicated.
When a manager goes into a club, What's the process...
Some have an instant impact, Harry Redknapp did, even Conte did (albeit very different season 2 trajectories!). Some build, like Poch.
But always, there should be a plan, both from the manager in terms of the

And that's what's so concerning.
But the thing is, there were stages that teams worked us out under Poch, but the quality of what we were doing was just too much... Because there was a plan.
I really fear that we spend so much time thinking about the opposition that we don't know who we are.
