He just has taken them forward. He’s won their fourth European trophy, the last one being 41 years ago. They last won the league 64 years ago and they’re not going to win it any time soon, irrespective of who their manager is. Slow and steady progress is the key with Spurs but, like most clubs, they just will not wait and want more success now. I’ve got news for them. They ain’t gonna get it. He told them he’d win a trophy in his second season and he delivered. A good trophy it was too.

In their ‘corporate-bullsh!t-statement’ they say Ange was sacked ‘after significant reflection.’ Pull the other one. Absolute disgrace after what he has just achieved for them. Perfectly sums up the English game and the need for success and the need for that success now. Or in Spurs’ case, the need for even more success now.

More attendance shockers from the mid 1980s

Wow, that’s some statement. Thankfully, it’s incorrect. Have another go.

Good find Halo. If anyone ever wondered what corporate bullsh!t looks like, just read that load of utter garbage. Bullsh!t of the highest order in its full glory. They forgot to mention that the applicant will have to have knowledge of power washers, as the stadium needs a good old clean from top to bottom.

Great article. What we wouldn’t give for someone like Tom Wagner at the helm.

Attendances in the mid 1980s were dire and weren’t much better in the late 70s, especially in the old First Division..Three weeks after the Grimsby game, I was a married man..😳

I did a walk at the nearby saltpans last year and must have driven a couple of hundred yards from the training complex without realising it. We also do a walk at the nearby Cabo Roig. The club mention Benidorm in the report but Benidorm is some 80 miles (or 128 kms) to the north. I know you’ll know that but I’ve mentioned it in case folk are thinking of staying in Benidorm.

Bryan Douglas, one of the best and 91 years old today. Cartoon strip nicked from a Blackburn Facebook page..

Make it the East End and you’ve got a deal. 😂

For all the ‘pea brains’ who are in denial about Rovers ever being taken over, Livingston have just announced Calvin Ford becoming the majority shareholder there. He is the great-great grandson of Henry Ford and said to be worth ‘billions.’

FA Cup Final today, at the ridiculous time of 4.30pm. Gone are the days when the English and Scottish cup finals were on the same day and at the traditional time of 3pm. One used to be on BBC, the other on ITV (or vice versa) and I used to flick from one to the other for scores, updates etc. It’s difficult to want Palace to win anything, any time, for obvious reasons but I always opt for the underdog. I detest Citeh with both their oil money and obnoxious, Neanderthal support and with the added Wharton factor, it’s Palace for me.

Yes, I probably worded it incorrectly but was meaning from a Director of Football perspective, something you alluded to in your final paragraph.

You could write what those two know about football on the back of a postage stamp. Neither of them are fit for purpose and genuine Rovers fans, who know the game, would be delighted to hear that both of them had been sacked.
