    Bayern won 8/8 in the CL this season including 7 clean sheets.. twice against PSG, Barca & Inter.
    I was referring to the points dropped domestically. They’d usually have the league won by now.

    But those Champions League stats….. It was a feeble PSG performance and 2 other teams who are not at an elite level this season.

    Interested to see how quickly they improve under Tuchel

    As MW said maybe as simple as losing the best goal scorer in Europe and not replacing him.

    What elite team was he supposed to beat? Barcelona, Inter and PSG with no goal conceded is exceptional. No question about that.

    Yeah fair comment - theres just something about him I’ve found unconvincing. Interesting to see how he does if he moves to the EPL

    Graham Potter would have been a better fit at Spurs than he is ever going to be (IMHO) at Chelsea.

    No manager is a good fit at Spurs, because the chairman thinks he knows best.

    Poch knew the squad needed refreshing and gave the club his plan to do it. Levy ignored him. Insane decision making.

    Would be a terrible move for Naglesmann. Should wait for a club with ambition.

    Spurs are a basket case of a club with an owner who thinks he's a football guru.

    In what sense?

    Does their league position not roughly reflect their budget?

    More or less, but the 20 point gap between them and The Arse, won't be going unnoticed.

    Did you watch the documentary, Levy is too hands on and a lot of the signings have been bang average. Yes a lovely new stadium but they've become stale and happy getting 4th or 5th due to the money they get,a problem a few clubs have in the Premier league, too comfortable.

    Their wage bill is higher than Arsenal I think.

    Always thought Spurs had delusions of grandeur. A big club, but on par with the likes of Everton, Villa, Newcastle etc. Think they have won 2 FA Cups and a league cup in the last 40 years (add another 2 FA cups if going back 42 years to be fair) and last won the league in 1961. Yet they are always spoke about and defined against winning something, or not. Challenging for top 4 is about right IMO.

    I'm not really a follower of English football but my ignorant opinion of Tottenham is that they're a bit of a soft touch and seem to settle for under achievement and mediocrity. Ironically how many people view Hibs. They once had a player that did an odd thing with his hand when he scored, which was nice.

    Spurs have a massive and affluent fanbase. That stadium is a license to print money.

    They also have an extremely rich owner.

    The problem is that the owner and chairman don’t actually know how to put together a winning team, but think they know better than anyone else.

    It’s embarrassing how empty their trophy cabinet is given the circumstances.

    I don't envy the next spurs manager btw , previous spurs manager's have had easier times with big clubs like arsenal, Liverpool, Man United being poor, these are all improving , Newcastle United will also improve and be in the mix for top 4 as will Chelsea and city too . 7 teams fighting it out for a top four finish ! Somebody's going to be disappointed.

    Always interesting to see an outside view and this is the Aberdeen job as seen from Denmark.

    Aberdeen are keen to make Danish coach Jess Thorup, who was sacked by Copenhagen in September, their new manager, but the 53-year-old is unlikely to accept the job as the Pittodrie outfit have become a club in chaos. (Ekstrabladet)
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    They completely mismanaged the stadium build and that cost an awful lot more than it should have done. Typical of Levy knowing best...

    He's a good manager, but Leicester should be doing better. They have been dragged into the relegation dogfight now. Leicester is a good job for someone to take.

    Squad is bang average and haven't strengthened in the last 2 windows, been let down badly by the owners.

    Yes, he can certainly argue he has been let down, but Leicester shouldn't be in danger of relegation, IMO. So often EPL clubs sack a manager the moment relegation becomes a possibility, which is because so much money is at stake. Palace did the same thing with Veira just the other day.

    Likes of Maddison, Barnes, Daka, Tielemans, Pereira, Ndidi, Castagne, should be nowhere near relegation as you say. Squad is well above average.

    Rodgers signed the vast majority of the squad. Big wage bill, big transfer fees.

    Nagelsmann ending up there seems quite likely. Potter will probably end up at Spurs.
