Reports have it that the Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, is back in the mix not to become the next Spurs' boss. :wink:

After narrowly missing out on Poch, Conte, Alegri, Nagelsmann and Erik ten Hag, Tottenham have now focused their attention on another elite manager.

Paulo Fonseca. :?

Convince Van Gaal to come out of retirement. He's only 69 I think and should have a few good years left. :idea:

Tomorrow's headline, 'Spurs turn to Fonseca's mum'.

Becoming a joke now.

Not the Premier but this is funny. Some top notch goalkeeping. The slo mo really does it justice. Sign him up Levy! :D

I’m not sure BB would quite agree with the valuation?

I think he'll joint Man City. Then most likely bang in a hat-trick against us in the first game.

Edit: Just realised I'm pushing 40 and never looked into why they call it a 'hat-trick'. I'm guessing all the old farts on the forum (how to make friends and influence people, chapter 3 :laugh:) already knew the reason.

'A player gets a hat-trick when they score three goals in one game, but the use of the term actually didn't start on the football pitch. The phrase came from cricket, and was used when a bowler took three wickets from three consecutive balls. The club would give the bowler a hat to celebrate this achievement'.

Well, there you go.

Tottenham's move for Fonseca has collapsed. Who's gonna be next on the list. :laugh:

This next season's gonna be interesting. Noone wants to come manage us. Noone wants to come play for us. Kane off to greener pastures. Good stuff!

Apparently Levy saw a little old lady struggling to carry her shopping. He approached her and kindly asked, "Can you manage?".

"I don't want the bloody Tottenham job!" she replied.

:D

We're becoming more efficient at striking managers off the list at least. Less than 24 hrs this one. :laugh:
