@JonnyJohns7 I think he's the best out there right now for us. He will rattle a few egos in the dressing room for sure Mark.
Hope you are keeping well mate.

@talkSPORT Dear Talksport please get Martin the help he clearly needs. He's having a mental breakdown right in front of your eyes.
I'm not even joking.

De Zerbi at Spurs: What It Really Means
1. Spurs Would Get Extreme Football Identity – Quickly
De Zerbi’s strongest message is non‑negotiable identity.
At Spurs, this would mean:
Build‑up obsession from the goalkeeper
Positional play, small overloads, courage under pressure
No compromise on how Spurs play, regardless of opponent
What it means for Spurs:
You’d immediately see a clearer footballing identity than anything post‑Pochettino. Training, selection and squad planning would all be filtered through one worldview. Players who hesitate in possession or default to safety football would be exposed fast.
✅ Upside: Spurs finally “stand for something” again
⚠️ Risk: Early chaos if players aren’t technically brave enough
2. This Is Not a “Club Project” Manager
De Zerbi left Brighton not over money or transfers, but because he couldn’t see the next ambition. He needs momentum and escalation.
At Spurs, this translates to:
He will expect a clear multi‑year sporting vision
He will push ownership and leadership hard
He will lose motivation quickly if progress stalls
What this means for ENIC:
De Zerbi would constantly challenge them. If Spurs drift away from the ambition, friction is inevitable.
✅ Upside: Spurs stop being passive
⚠️ Risk: Fallout if ambition ≠ action
This is not a “safe hands” appointment.
3. The Spurs Dressing Room Would Polarise
His “no working by the clock” line is crucial.
At Spurs:
Players who live football (Maddison types, Romero types) would thrive
Comfort‑zone professionals would struggle
Reputation, salary, or status wouldn’t protect anyone
Expect:
Intense training blocks
Direct, emotional man‑management
Publicly ruthless sub‑text if standards drop
✅ Upside: Mentality upgrade
⚠️ Risk: Short‑term blow‑back from players not wired that way
This is closer to Pochettino 2015–17 than Ange’s egalitarian calm.
4. Spurs’ Atmosphere Actually Suits Him More Than People Think
De Zerbi thrives in volatile, emotional environments – Marseille, not Brighton.
Tottenham’s:
Nervous atmosphere
Emotional swings
Desire to “mean something again”
…actually lines up with his personality.
Key difference:
Spurs fans are impatient but not anarchic. If performances are coherent (even without immediate results), he’d get runway.
✅ Upside: Emotional reconnection with fans
⚠️ Risk: Heavy defeats early on would amplify pressure fast
5. Recruitment Would Need Total Alignment
This is the biggest single issue for Spurs.
De Zerbi needs:
Technical defenders comfortable stepping into midfield
Press‑resistant midfielders
Intelligent wide players, not pure runners
If Spurs recruitment:
Chases “value” over suitability
Buys profile players without tactical fit
…it will fail.
This is why the Football Director appointment matters more than the manager.
✅ If aligned: Spurs become one of the smartest tactical teams in the league
⚠️ If not: Burn‑bright‑then‑burn‑out scenario
6. He Would Raise Spurs’ Ceiling, Not Their Floor
This is the key strategic decision.
De Zerbi:
Increases chances of Spurs becoming elite
Also increases chances of short‑term instability
He is not:
A damage‑limitation manager
A vibes‑first stabiliser
A “get us 6th quietly” appointment
He is a swing for the upside choice.
Straight Answer: Is De Zerbi Right for Spurs?
✅ YES, if:
Spurs commit to a multi‑year football plan
Recruitment is system‑first
Leadership accepts creative tension
Fans accept turbulence for growth
❌ NO, if:
Spurs want calm continuity
The ambition remains top‑four‑but‑safe
The club structure stays fragmented
Final Verdict (TL;DR)
Roberto De Zerbi at Spurs would be bold, volatile, demanding and potentially transformative.
He could take Tottenham closer to elite football than any coach since peak Pochettino — but only if the club grows up around him.

Whoever comes in, just get behind them for the off.
It really is that simple.

@trussliz @SuzanneEvans1 @RachelReevesMP You were sold out by spineless colleague's and the Bank of England Liz.
These of us know, you were trying to get us out of the doom loop.

@SuzanneEvans1 @RachelReevesMP It was never about the Gilt rates!

Government borrowing hits 4.8% under @trussliz. @RachelReevesMP says Truss was ‘reckless’ and put the economy in danger. Government borrowing hits 5.6% when Reeves is Chancellor, and she says: “I’ve put out economy back on a firm footing” and implies she’s an economic genius 🙄

@benonwine I've never watched it, millionaires trying to shame people on the breadline to give money they cant afford. It's disgusting gaslighting at its finest.
