    As much as im disappointed he’s left he won’t be the last to do this, what’s a bit annoying is the fact he taking the coaches and even the analytics guy with him which doesn’t leave much continuity, I suppose Odea and McManus could step up into first team roles and help out the new guy but starting a whole new back room team is a bit difficult to get done quickly which is what we need.

    then what does this mean to the players, is he coming back for Kyogo or any other of the players we booked a tour of Japan to show off our Japanese connections and it would be a bit rye turning up with half of them left and the good half at that.

    also does this unsettle the likes of CCV and Jota’s we kind of knew that Abada and O’Reily might be leaving this window but if we lose 6 or 7 where does that stand us, I was quite contented that we could replace the manager and possibly one or two first team players but all the back room staff and half the first team starters would deffo be a bit of a push

    so where is Desmond, the Lawell’s and Nicholson how come we don’t hear a thing saying even though the manager is off we are looking at replacements and will be speaking to them, we have a handle on the situation and it will be resolved in due course but to get nothing but silence does not fill me with confidence.

    "Whether it was actually Tottenham’s decision not to interview Nagelsmann is up for debate, to put it mildly. But the upshot was clear: he would not be the next Spurs head coach. All Spurs could do was press on with their first-round interviews for the candidates who actually wanted them, and these took place in early May. This stage of interviewing was conducted by board members, who above all wanted to check whether the candidates were the right fit for Spurs. This was all about ethos and culture, about whether they had the values that everyone at the club could rally behind, and whether they could speak convincingly as the public face of the club. The football specifics would come later."

    "In the second half of May, Tottenham were conducting their second-round interviews and with candidates other than Slot too. If the first round was about ethos, the second round, led by Levy himself, was about specifics."

    "The Celtic manager had been in the process since the start, and was a popular idea at Spurs even back in April, when most public speculation concerned Nagelsmann. Crucially, Postecoglou ticked so many of the boxes for what Spurs were looking for. When it came to creating a new ethos at the club, improving the culture, and being the public face of the whole institution, there was no better candidate in the race than Postecoglou. These demands are precisely what he delivered at Celtic, taking over a club at a low ebb and bringing the fanbase behind the team and behind himself more than had been the case for years."

    "He was the candidate who offered the best promise of the cultural improvement and alignment that Spurs had been looking for all along. By the end of that week, Tottenham had decided they wanted him to be their next manager.With the decision made, the only issue that remained was Celtic having one game left in their season, the Scottish Cup final on June 3 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle."

    Do you really need a statement from the club to tell you we'll be looking for new manager after the old one leaves?

    what I would like is an acknowledgement of the situation from the people in charge, i would have liked to know that we have contingency plans for this happening and that we are not just reactive we actually forward plan.

    I work with the same designers and contractors on loads of builds but when something not quite right happens they still expect me to come along and explain the path through the issues, in reality they don’t need me too but it’s expected it also gives people (client) confidence that you know what’s happening and how to fix it competently

    What's that.... two clean sheets and wins when everything was on the line?

    Some distraction that, some would say during any other season that was us grinding out wins like real champions do despite how poor we were.

    I will laugh my bollocks off if that happens.

    He's not going to see much in the way of silverware again by * off to Trophyless Tottenham. These days a good season for Tottenham is making it to a European spot.

    Hearing he actually hasn’t managed us in the last two years it was all Callum McGregor and Tony Ralston as his assistant HH

    £5m compensation on a one year deal.

    They only got £4.25m for Slippy G and he had 3 years left on his deal.

    Spurs feeling generous or paying us off so we don't cause a stir about them tapping him up?

    Funnily enough, that is actually him.

    He was over on a skateboarding expedition in 08 at the four corners with his nephew, and thought he’d stop by the worlds most successful club for a view of the world famous marble staircase.
