Roberto De Zerbi joins Spurs


Very disappointing that they chickened out of the Adolf Hutter appointment.

De Zerbi is very attack minded as a coach. Will be interesting to see how quickly he can get them playing his way. Could be a great success, or could be the final nail.

"Greenwood IS a bad lad FOR SURE ..."

Hmmm ...

Given that Mason Greenwood has not been prosecuted for any offence, I think that the actuality is that - 'Greenwood MAY HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN a bad lad ,,,'

Also, Greenwood, to his credit, made the following statement - "I was brought up to know that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I did not do the things I was accused of ,,, I fully accept I made mistakes in my relationship, and I take my share of responsibility for the situations ..." - which acknowledges that as a 21 years old he made mistakes, but wasn't guilty of criminality - a fact seemingly supported by the Crown Prosecution Service when all charges were dropped because "... new material came to light ..." and key witness withdrew because they had changed their minds about the events.

My understanding is that Greenwood and his girlfriend are now reconciled and have two children together.

Whilst I realise that the RTG 'Morality Police' are prone to having a fit of the vapours and clutching their pearls at the very suggestion that anyone may not always be (or ever have been) as pure as the driven snow, without the need for actual evidence or the opportunity for the 'accused' (??!!) to present a defence, with the expectation that individuals will always be perfect in every way, the reality is that people can make mistakes, they can atone for those mistakes and move on to live a good life.

What a weird take this is
 
The Spuds will be hoping for a new manager bounce, they will be disappointed I hope.

Some Spud fans are upset with De Zerbi's support of the rapist Greenwood.. perhaps we will remind them of that with suitable chants?

I can take the opinions of an ex pro who has played at premier level or equivalent.
People like perma tanned wannabes who have never played or managed at à high level have no credibility whatsoever

His viewpoint was correct imo. Fk all to do with credibility if someone has an opinion regardless of background.
 
for 5 years contract, what if they go down? To pay his wages, is he willing a pay cut? time will tell.
its a high risk.

Personally, they will go down the way West Ham are in a good form atm.

Won 2 , drew 2 lost 3 in his first 7 games for Brighton. That form could send spurs down.

true but players like maddison is coming back but he aint fit.
With 2 key CB out, right? Keeper is a nightmare.
Very very very difficult to see them to stay up with very difficult fixtures coming up.

When was that? And how did he go to court without being prosecuted?

Youre right, they didn't actually take him to court, several times they brought him in, investigated and came to the conclusion he was an upstanding citizen and let him go.

No, they never came to that conclusion at all.
The conclusion they came to was there was little chance of a conviction as the victims refused attend court to be cross examined.
