Season objective was to finish 4th. Job done. And lets be honest. For a long part of the season Spurs were playing probably the most attractive and entertaining football seen in a long while by any team in the league until that idiot from Wales got a big head anyway.

Couldn't care less who manages Spurs to be honest provided they play good attacking football that is also entertaining to watch and we beat the Gypsies from Woolwhich.

give him a target to achieve, he'll probably achieve it, then he'll get sacked.

the possibility of replacing mini-croat & bale is a bit scary for spurs. they always get their purse out, and this year should be no exception. if they're serious about playing champos, they need to be spending on a bigger overall squad with better depth. all it takes as the squad stands is for 2-3 players to be injured and the team is awful.

Spurs are ripe for massive investment, they sit in a similar situation to Chelsea before Roman turned up.

Why would they need to sell out?

Joe Lewis (born February 5, 1937 in East London) is an English businessman who currently lives in Albany, Bahamas.

Lewis' total wealth is estimated at $3.8 billion, and he is listed as the 290th richest person of Forbes’ List of billionaires (2012). Forbes reports Lewis is the seventh wealthiest person in Britain.

Just a rumour I read on a number of different sites. The rumour is gathering pace across the UK sites. This Liverpool one I read has all these people going off worried about how Liverpool will now compete, etc.

As you guys pointed out there are things that may go against what the club stands for and who currently own them, but i thought I would share it with you regardless.

I'm sure money turns heads, and any club would welcome a money pit owner.

Can't see it happening to be honest. Levy and Lewis run a tight ship. They are also not on the stock market anymore and are now a private company in part to prevent being taken over imo.

Whilst it was well know that the guy was on his last legs. He couldn't train but Ledley King announced his retirement today.



LEDLEY CALLS TIME, BUT IT'S FAR FROM GOODBYE

Notable high points came with the lifting of the Carling Cup in 2008 after victory over Chelsea at Wembley, with Ledley steering the team to Champions League qualification for the first time in our history in season 2009-10.

His performances for the Club were recognised on the international front and he made his England debut against Italy in March 2002. Ledley won 21 international caps in total and appeared in both the 2004 European Championships and the 2010 World Cup.

"Ledley has made a magnificent contribution to this Club - as a wonderful player, Captain and ambassador," said Chairman Daniel Levy. "It has been well documented how he has battled against injury over the years and it is testament to the character of the man how he managed to sustain such high standards of performance on the pitch, while providing such fine leadership.

"It is in an ambassadorial capacity that Ledley will continue, playing a crucial role in supporting the Club's work in the community and the ongoing regeneration of the Tottenham area, whilst also being a hugely positive role model for our younger players.

“I have been here since I was a boy, I have always considered it my Club and have always found it hard to imagine wearing the shirt of another team," reflected Ledley.

“I know that being a one-club man is a rarity these days, but I have always enjoyed being part of the set-up here and the challenge of putting this Club up with the elite where it should be.

“I would like to say thank you to everyone at the Club and to the fans. I have missed a lot of football over the years, but the Spurs fans have always been patient and incredibly supportive with me during difficult periods. Sadly my injuries and inability to train have now finally brought an end to my career.”

"I have been in Tottenham for around 17 years, having started at Spurs when I was 14. It is a second home for me and I pleased that I can continue to work within the Club and for the local community, especially after the devastation caused by the riots last year. I am already heavily involved with the work of Spurs Foundation and the new stadium scheme will be a major factor in the regeneration of the area, so I am delighted that I shall be part of that.'

Whether you like Spurs or not, the guy was an absolute legend for the club and for the game.

All the best Ledley!

out of all the players in the world who seem to spend most of their career injured (ledley, kewell, rvp, michael owen, michael bridges) ledley is the only one i have true respect for as to me it seems all the guys that keep getting injured are just looking for the easy option out all the time, whereas whenever there was the slimmest chance ledley could play, he was there. and in fine form. to me, ledley was/is the only always-injured player that seemingly WANTS to play football every week.

it's cool that a club saw the guy through so many hard times, just like your arsenals do with their injured guys, and respect to them for doing that. it's good that sperms are holding onto a club legend too.

That's a very good summary. There isn't many players of the King, Giggs, Gerrard, Scholes, Carragher ilk any more who only play for one club and it is good to see they are looking after him. Great to see a player give his all for a club and the club also doing what is right for him.

You know a study was done on this right?

Of some huge number (like 100,000 or something) of Londoners who support spurs only like .2% or something are actually Jewish, However almost 80% "associate" with being Jewish due to supporting the club. Also the area around Tottenham is actually populated by lower middle class anglosaxons.

Compare this with say arsenal who like 30% actually are jewish, but only .2% will actually admit to it.

The rumours of Spurs Jewishness comes from chelsea once chanting "you have no foreskins" at the spurs away support who responded by figuring out who actually did not have a foreskin and peer pressuring them into a mass cock showing to the chelsea support. The club has no actual Jewish affiliation, unlike say Ajax.

Unlike the Scousers in here making excuses or demanding blood.

I thought Spurs played quite well. Newcastle was always going to be a hard team to beat and without Modric, Parker and Adebayor to only lose to a late penalty away to Newcastle was alright.

The pressing of Newcastle was intense and Newcastle could barely to anything other then lob the ball over and hope to try to catch Kaboul and Gallas to far forward. When Parker comes back, him and Sandro are going to boss the Midfield.

Get a replacement for Modric and a decent striker and Tottenham should look the goods.

There's no doubt in my mind that he will go. And at that price the club cant really say no, and he is stepping up to one of the biggest clubs in the world, so cant begrudge him either.

Levy will drain every last cent out of Real, but not a great deal will go back into the squad. As mentioned previously, stadium funding will be his priority. Maybe there will be one big(other than Soldado) purchase to appease us fans, but that's about all.

Spurs signed too many new players too quickly, sure, but give them some time to blend and get used to playing with each other.

So who is to replace him? Di Matteo would be my call.

Completely agree mate. The short term nature of modern football is killing me. We signed half a new squad in the summer, and dont even let it go half a season to settle in before sacking a manager.

You know what, had Bill Shankly been a manager in this day-and-age he wouldn't have survived his first season. Liverpool didn't perform too well that year.

You are right about short-term nature. It's because modern day fans demand instant success, which they think comes through spending $$. Very few are prepared to wait.

The names i've seen linked so far are Laundrup, Di Matteo, Capello, Balandini (sp.), Tim Sherwood.

Should get Holloway imo. Need more of his post match press conferences. *not a serious suggestion really.

AVB very harshly done by. Beaten by 2 quality teams this year, that happens. This was really always going to be a transitioning year after losing their best player and getting in a bunch of new faces. They needed time to gel and frankly, were doing quite well for a new team. Liverpool didn't perform too well in Rodger's transitioning year. Moyes isn't performing with basically the same group of players that won it last year....

How did Spurs fans on here feel about AVB? I know he's made a few comments in the press criticising the fans, which in any circumstance probably isn't the best move...

He had every right to be critical to the fans but it should never have happened.

My dot points


Why did we have to go and buy so many attacking players when we already had a solid midfield? Ok I can understand the need for 1-2 new signings but seriously why so many?
Why get a new sole striker? Abedeyor is solid and better suited to such a role when his mind is up for it
They got rid of a left back when they have left back issues
Trying to turn Townsend into a new Bale is asinine especially when you consider all the other attacking players they brought it. I'm all for promoting from within, but seriously. When you spend 100 million quid and then keep them on the bench and use a young kid........yeah them some smarts
**** off with the Technical Director FFS. It doesn't work in the English Leagues and all it does is add fuel to the fire when the media are wanting heads to roll
We are still ahead of the team who won the league last year and there was no real need to panic just yet. Despite the floggings we are still within striking distance of 2nd spot.
I have a lot of time for Levy. His turned the club right around and since he has been in full control he has done some great things and made us perennial contenders. But **** me he does some stupid things at times.

Not sure that's entirely them being amazing or QPR being absolute dog shite. Honestly, who would have thunk that 3 lumbering centre backs would have looked immobile against that kind of quick movement and passing?

The mind boggles.

Every 50/50 ball bounced in favour of Spurs in the first half as well. Challenges flying in from both sides and the ball just magically ends up two yards past the QPR defender with the Spurs player running unopposed into their half. Was good to watch. Really hope Ol Droopy Face is the first sacked.

Mate, Ryan Mason has gone from strength to strength (especially in the last month).We really notice the loss of his energy when he isn't out there.
In relation to Dembele, I think he just doesn't move the ball quickly enough for Pochettino's liking. He has great quality on the ball, but he just takes a touch or two too many (every time). I think that the manager prefers that little bit of extra pace and energy in his defensive midfielders as well (hence Bentaleb and Mason preferred). If Dembele is going to get a run it will be in behind Kane, but obviously that's only when Eriksen is unavailable.

Mauricio Pochettino and sustainability
I wrote plenty about the manner of Spurs' victory in 16 Conclusions, but it is important to note that this was a game won in the planning and detail, rather than by fluke or generated by the emotional melee of an intense derby atmosphere. Whilst Arsenal looked tired during the second half (having played 33 matches this season), Spurs seemed fresh. This was their 40th game of the campaign.

It is a hallmark of Mauricio Pochettino's tenure at White Hart Lane. Spurs have won 12 points in the last five minutes of matches, twice as many as any other side. 28% of their points gained in 6% of the match - it's an eye-opening statistic.

"We had a great pre-season," Harry Kane said when asked of the reason for such a record. "As the season has gone on we've got fitter and fitter. We've got better and I think that showed again. We looked stronger and I think we can keep that going for as long as possible. I feel fitter. I feel the fittest I've ever felt."

In late July, Christian Eriksen also remarked on the commitment demanded from Pochettino. "It's been a hard pre-season," he said. "We've been getting closer to where we want to be when the season starts. It is pretty hard. The first few weeks there were times when we went to bed pretty early. There have been double sessions two times a week when we were training at 10 o' clock and then again at 4, so it's a long day. Mentally as well it's pretty hard but it's fun to play football, so it's alright." The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and nothing tastes sweeter than derby victory.

There is also a sustainability to this improvement under Pochettino. Tim Sherwood must be credited with the development of Nabil Bentaleb, but the relative youth of this Spurs squad allows the glass ceiling to be smashed. Eight of the starting XI against Arsenal were aged 24 or under. This team had the youngest average age of any Premier League team this season, and it gave one of the most complete performances.

"This is our philosophy," Pochettino said of his trusting in youth. "It was our philosophy at Espanyol, Southampton and now here. Why not? If you have players with potential for first team, why not? This is our identity. We have to give these players opportunities to show their value. Maybe we are brave." Stirring stuff.

This is Tottenham, so there will be always those wary of one step forward and two more back. Many supporters are focused only on a top-four place, but sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. Football isn't just about the Champions League, it's about fans feeling that a plan is in place, that proaction is being preferred to reaction. It's about knowing foundations are being laid, rather than fancy houses built on sand.

Whatever happens this season, it feels like Spurs supporters are finally falling back in love with their club again. Pochettino deserves immense credit for effecting that transformation in such a brief time period.



This was on Football365 and perfectly sums up my feelings around the current Spurs team.

Pochettino has a big job to do next season with Spurs mental strength. Wait and see what happens over the summer with transfers out, but there is potential they could be like Liverpool a few years ago who never really recovered after nearly winning the league and after losing their best player struggled to ever regain that form. Liverpool still couldn't defend and they could no longer simply rely on outscoring their opponent.

Spurs have had the advantage of playing Europa League the last few seasons, but it can be hard for a player to have come so close and missed out to turn around and do it all again.

And today was just the final insult to their season.

It will be a spicy one, that's for sure.
A few years ago I would be packing darkies about falling away and fading out (and for the 20 years before that I wouldn't be worried because we were pants) but I'm actually confident we will get 'the job' - (of finishing Top 4, the realistic target for us) done.
I'm not as confident we will get the job done in the North London derby, but come the end of the season I think we will be in that 3rd spot.

Because as a coach, are you getting any more credit/love for winning the Serie A and crashing out in the later rounds of the Champs League?
If he stays at Spurs and continues the 'lucky loser' streak that he and Klopp are on dont you think he skates a lot easier with the media and fans?

He cant bring Juve any more success, and if he cocks it up there, any opportunities of a proper 'big job' like a Madrid/Barca etc might then fall away.

Go to one of the other top clubs. Have a bad run or season and you're fired. No job security, no opportunity to build your own legacy. Man U will always be Ferguson. Liverpool will always be Daglish, Arsenal will always be Wenger and so on.

I do get the feeling that Pochettino is not a glory hunter and actually does want to build a lasting legacy at Tottenham.

legit question, would the money be that much better at Juve than Spurs (they can start paying people now that the stadium is done yeah)?

Because as a coach, are you getting any more credit/love for winning the Serie A and crashing out in the later rounds of the Champs League?
If he stays at Spurs and continues the 'lucky loser' streak that he and Klopp are on dont you think he skates a lot easier with the media and fans?

He cant bring Juve any more success, and if he cocks it up there, any opportunities of a proper 'big job' like a Madrid/Barca etc might then fall away.

Juventus wage bill is twice that of Spuds and Spuds won't have any more money for the next 5-10 years whilst they pay off that stadium. Hence why he is posturing to leave. Juve are dining from the top table when it comes to transfers each season. Spuds are ham-strung by their lack of funds.

This UCL run is an anomaly, Spuds were extremely lucky to get out of their group, they are still a small premier league club.

If Poch wants to be considered a great coach he needs to win things. His chances are probably a bit better at Juve than Spuds. No one can deny that. So thats why he would be putting serious consideration into joining them. A single club remembers a long time coach, the world remembers a title/trophy winning coach.

3 things.

They are the 6th biggest club in England. So no, they aren't a big club in Europe. Sorry to burst that bubble.

Also, They don't have a super academy.
5th on total minutes for academy players and 5th in total minutes for players under 21. West Ham and Southampton are above you guys. And of course Arsenal are as well.


Also also, don't put Poch in the same category as SAF and Wenger. They won trophies. You don't become a legend for hanging around putting the pressure on. You become David Moyes. If Poch wants to the next David Moyes he stays, if he wants to be recognised as a top tier coach, he has to leave. Surely you understand that SB?

I disagree. Whilst it awesome to win trophies. How it's done is what leaves a lasting legacy.

Who really won the trophies for Chelsea and City? The managers or the owners millions?

And that's why I highlighted the other 3 managers. Yep they all won a lot of titles but it's the behind the scenes and the work that most don't see is what their legacy is.

That's what Pochettino is doing at Spurs.

Ancelotti, Mourinho and Pep are world class managers. None of them stick around for the project. Trophies don't make you a great coach by themselves, but without them you can never be a world class manager.

Sorry, didn't use my words correctly. I mean when we look back on their careers. At the moment Poch would walk into almost any club if he wanted. But if he doesn't win anything, he will be forgotten very quickly.

Same would go for Klopp. He will be remembered in Germany for the two league titles and the DFB Pokal his plucky Dortmund side won against one of the strongest Bayern sides in history. But if he doesn't win trophies at Liverpool he will be forgotten. Simple as that. If Klopp finishes 2nd for 10 years in a row, it won't mean a thing for his legacy, it will just improve his chances of moving somewhere where he can win trophies.

yeah i dont disagree with your point, its that i think Poch still has a few 'lucky loser' years in him at Spurs. I dont think taking the Juve job will make him any more or less desirable for future prospects. Also,Juve are way closer to the end of their run than they are to the start, and if hes the guy at the helm when things finally tail off it will look real bad on him.

actually your point also raises a real good question.

I'd be pissed if it was one of my players, but you can see from the refs view (the first view I saw from behind Aurier) it looks like a stone wall yellow. Why is he stupid enough to push his hands into his back/side, where the ref obviously can't see it, to slow him down? Aurier is a really really dumb player and he gave the guy a perfect opportunity to go down and get him sent.
