Its 9 managers in 9 years under Abramovich and presumably 10 before season end including Ray Wilkins 1 game caretaker role

I wonder how long before RA pulls the plug. As they were saying on 5 Live only just now, he's clearly lost the love affair he had when he took over. Hes rarely at games anymore.

Not sure you can even count Gus Hiddink within that as it was always a short term thing and not someone that was turfed out because he failed. If Arry takes the England job you'll be on your 6th at the start of next season (within the same time frame)

On a more general note - yeh, Spurs are third, but it's merely papering over the cracks. We're only where we are because Liverpool, Chelsea and, to a lesser extent, Arsenal, have been so shite this year. It's not fashionable to criticise 'Arry if you're a Spurs fan, but then again, I've never really given a rat's arse about what my fellow yids think. What I do know is that 4 points out of a possible 21 against the other four teams in the top five this year is little short of atrocious.

Yes, but that's down to us beating teams this year that we should ordinarily have been beating anyway.


I'm no fan of 'Arry, as you will have surmised - not least because his tactics are often found wanting. That said, I want him to stay on for now because of his man management capabilities and the players he will bring into the club. For example, we have a far better chance of getting Hazard with 'Arry at the helm.


Spurs are probably three players away (not counting a younger keeper) from challenging for the title. Hazard, Vertonghen and Leandro will do nicely this summer if we can pull all of those off.
