I don't feel too sorry for him. Spurs were very poor all season and although he won a trophy, it was the worst cup final I've ever seen with 2 poor teams

I'm liking this theme of very ordinary teams winning a trophy but their managers getting sacked within a short period.
I know it's well-paid but you do wonder why any ambitious manager would want to go to Spurs. You're on a loser there: winning trophies isn't enough, getting to the Champions League isn't enough, so you're going to get sacked within a couple of years and may or may not bounce back.
You have to work with the most tight-fisted chairman in the PL, one who doesn't even seem that keen on football, and have to put up with the most entitled set of fans in England. You don't even have a cheese room any more.
Someone like Frank may earn less at Brentford, but he's going to have a much more pleasant life

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Frank will take the job. Potter turned down Spurs when he was still at the Albion, didn't he?

Maybe Roberto could be persuaded
That's true but if it's not Frank, it will be someone like Silva or Iraola. Someone on decent money with a supportive board and supportive fans.

Silva has offers from Saudi again, after he tried to accept one of their jobs a couple of seasons ago and Fulham said no. Iraola will be getting paid pretty well at Bournemouth so he may like the easy life there.
It would be objectively hilarious if all three of them declined the Spurs job.

Juve also looking at Silva.

Glasner if Palace get booted out of Europa?
Now, that would be funny ... and Glasner too.

Getting into the champions league isn’t an automatic £100m. £21m for qualifying and then it’s up to them. £25m for winning the Europa League. If they had claimed 4th spot to where they are that’s £40m extra PL money not an insignificant sum.

Yep, all depends how far you go into the competition.
Have you seen how much Levy spent with Ange there, it's a nonsense to say he doesn't spend.
If Ange had finished 8th-14th and not lost 22 league games he would still be there
It's not a struggle to understand why he's been sacked.

Hmmm. They sacked big Ange because they won a trophy and finished 17th in the league.
I can't imagine Levy is going to be all that excited about a bloke who won a trophy and finished 12th in the league.

Anyway, the next big question is: how long before Big Ange is appointed as The Leeds United manager?
I'll go for 24th October.
I'll go for 24th October.
iraola is one of, if not the lowest paid PL manager
Offer it to him again ! Double dare!

I see that a lot they have CL money. Firstly you have to get out of the league to start earning or previously the group. If you go on a losing streak you won’t get much more than £21m.

Such a shame, Spurs were awful, apparently their worst PL finish. A guaranteed 6 points for us next season had he stayed. They might actually get someone who knows what they are doing.
