I write about #thfc and German football and have a soft spot for iconic sports photography. Before that I founded Rabona Magazine.

Mousa Dembélé is sold to Guangzhou City midway through a season in which we would reach a Champions League final.

The day the decay set in.

Manchester City and Manchester United are now run by people aiding the rise of the far-right in the UK. We need to talk about billionaires but we also need to talk again about who we allow to run our football clubs www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...

I'm not a fan of international coaches being offered new contracts shortly before major tournaments but in the case of Thomas Tuchel I'm willing to make an exception. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Have just seen a snippet of the Postecoglou interview on The Overlap.

"When you walk into #thfc what you see everywhere is 'To Dare Is To Do'. It's everywhere. And yet their actions are almost the antithesis of that."

Inject this into my veins.

An interim option may have just opened up; Dyche could be ideal for the 12 games #Spurs have left.

That's right. I'm calling for #thfc to replace the man who replaced Ange with the man who replaced Ange.

Maybe we just shouldn't have replaced Ange?
Nottingham Forest have sacked head coach Sean Dyche after four months in charge.

Dyche’s last game with the team was a 0-0 draw with the Premier League’s bottom side Wolves, in which Forest had 35 shots.

I only set up this account half an hour ago to vent about Spurs.

5 minutes later, Frank is sacked.

This club 😆

In my view, Pochettino is the only PR win open to the Spurs board right now (short of selling the club, of course).

The Glasners, Marescas and Alonsos of this world are not realistic options.

Lock in Poch for 26/27, bring in a firefighter until then.

Thomas Frank has been cut loose then. The board just need to fire themselves now and we might have something to work with #thfc #coys
