Is it top 2 in each group then the 4 best 3rd place teams? Seems harder to get knocked out the bloody competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Over a year of qualification plus 2 weeks of a tournament and there's still 16 teams left in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You deny he's a winner? FFS just look at his record. I am sure if he delivers a trophy of two to Spurs they'll be erecting a statue of him outside of the new stadium. As they are my 'London team' after the Muamba incident, I hope he is an outrageous success for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As they are my 'London team' after the Muamba incident, I hope he is an outrageous success for them. Used to be a winner when at top clubs. Not in recent years. And I dont think he's managed a club that wasnt already a top 4 club in that country so he cant be judged like a Dean Smith or Eddie Howe or Wilder who've taken clubs from nowhere and made them successful. I'm not criticising his early/middle career at all, just going off what he is now, and the juries out. On a smaller scale Pulis, undoubted top manager of recent times, nobody would touch him now. Mark Hughes, Van Gaal, Martin O'Neill, Pardew, Moyes, they used to be good and nobody's going to take that away from them, it doesnt mean an ambitious club wants them now. Just my opinion but Spurs should be going for a more progressive manager to suit their brand of football. But bring it on, its going to be a great soap opera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
