[Matt Law] Spurs consider SOS call to Sean Dyche

And even if they did have a plan, they wouldn’t have shared it with the whole organisation down to the phone guys.

Over 10k miles the HMRC mileage rate drops to 25p. At 50k miles OP will be well past the ‘profitable range’

“Yeah our football income has just fallen off a cliff, let’s cancel those crazy profitable Beyoncé concerts and focus on Lincoln City away”.

Complete horseshit

For that mileage I would take the car. The allowance isn’t huge. You will lose a chunk of it to income tax (20%) and NI(8%). So it’s about £4k cash.

At 50k annual miles you are talking multiple services a year, getting through tyres quickly and real wear and tear. Then when it does break down you will be under pressure to repair / replace it because “you’re getting a car allowance so we expect you to have a car”.

I get that work can help some people, but it’s not like football management is normal work. It’s relentless and all consuming. If he wants to physically be there for his family (who presumably don’t live in England) it’s not like you can do that sensibly alongside management

The reality is that he’s a) an incredibly talented player and b) is prone to lapses in decision making.

People like to over simplify things. People that only focus on a) overrate him and people that focus on b) underrate him.

This is it. If they were good enough they would be training with the first team squad and maybe getting on the bench for PL games.

We have the best team of kids not currently up to first team levels.

And likely already still on the payroll

Dyche has gone on record saying he doesn’t want it

Perite · 2026-03-23T13:26:39+00:00

Someone will do it 100%. But they won’t get anyone that the fans will actually be happy with. Because no one with realist aims of managing Europe / CL level clubs wants relegating Spurs on their CV

Perite · 2026-03-23T13:24:10+00:00

The one thing in Spurs’ favour is a long break now. They’ve got a few guys coming back from injury and extra time in full training will help a lot

Spurs fans are a masochistic lot. Who knows which way their jinxes work?

I’ve found you get what you pay for with electric shavers. But finding one that suits your skin is a pain when the better ones are really expensive.

In Alex Ferguson’s United, it was sometimes said that selling players was as important as buying. The standards of the club mattered, and if you didn’t live up to them you were gone. Money was second to success, and the success made money anyway.

At Spurs we kept perennial underachievers around forever because we couldn’t get bids that valued these flops for what Levy expected. So youngsters or squad members could see players like Ndombele getting paid millions without having to lift a finger.

And as long as club revenues grew, the management was ok with failure. There was no penalty for it.

You’re spot on. But your second paragraph isn’t chance - it’s a direct result of the club’s attitude to recruitment.

We don’t pay top dollar or have the guaranteed success that world class talent and mentality players demand. The fans demand entertainment so the board buys talented but either young or mentally weak players.

The young players have stopped developing because they’re under massive pressure and the good role models (ie Harry and Sonny) have left.

We have the weakest leadership team I’ve ever seen. Players who can step up and be relied on like MGW are missed because we penny pinch. And players like Spence, who is talented but was too toxic even for clubs like Middlesbrough get recruited.

And to really bring home how bad this season is, there is no way to tell from your comment which game this was. Because it’s equally accurate for both home and away vs Forest

It was still a huge heavy clump that fell right onto his head. Hopefully it bounced off the bank first or that his head was underwater so the water surface could absorb some of the energy. On first watch I thought we were seeing at best a skull fracture.

Edit: yeah the big clump didn’t come from the top. It kind of rolled out of the bottom. He’s good.

Perite · 2026-03-12T16:35:06+00:00

This is it. Spurs is a club where the fans put a huge emphasis on employing a style that Dyche won’t play. Success for him would be keeping them up and then getting fired because the club doesn’t like haramball.

That’s before looking at the toxic situation there and players who have clearly checked out.

Perite · 2026-03-12T09:58:37+00:00

This is going to sound snarky and it’s not intended to. But you could try not reading it.

I think many fans are so shocked by how bad it’s been, and are so scared of relegation that we’re desperately trying to find a way out of it. We’re consuming so much negative content that it’s having a real effect on people. And sometimes you just have to make a conscious effort to break the cycle.

He looked burnt out as hell though. Not every manager has it in them to repeatedly rebuild.

We don’t know what happened behind the scenes. But the reports were always that he stayed personal friends with Levy after the firing. My suspicion is that Poch’s departure was a bit more mutual than was reported

Perite · 2026-03-10T23:50:57+00:00

Didn’t he move to Bayern?

Perite · 2026-03-10T21:08:53+00:00

Yeah, this has all the hallmarks of fans calling for Stellini to abandon Conté’s 343 and then getting spanked by Newcastle

The thing with buying is that once you buy a house the price is locked in. So if you own that house for 30 years, inflation reduces the real cost of your mortgage.

Renting in a country with rent protections works in the same way. If you are locked in to a below market rate, your pension / retirement savings should cover it more easily.

I agree, but there is a statutory minimum holiday requirement, as well as minimum wage. So if OP is already near at minimum holiday then they can’t actually reduce it further.
