I meant last season, they were crap and he was never going to improve that team without new players.

I mean they have a sporting director, so his only job to get the best out of what’s there.

Na, he has won stuff everywhere as a player and as a manager. The fact he comes across as a nice bloke but obviously has the mean streak needed to be a top manager is credit to him. Some appointment for a midtable side who has nothing in 25 years and only 1 trophy in over 30.

That sporting director signed Iwobi. Says all we need to know.

Spurs not in a great position really, could make a somewhat compelling argument that City, Pool, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves,Everton and Leicester are all better than them this season. No chance of top 4 and top 6 also looks dicey.
Do wonder when Kane says "**** this" and asks to leave.
He is 27 who has constantly smashed it for years but has won absolutely zilch.

Only thing I disagree with is Leicester as with europe to contend with and not having a huge squad they may struggle due to amount of games in a shorter season.
Is it me or does Kane seem way off the pace since he returned from injury? Hope I am wrong but could he be in an early decline like Owen had due to the amount of injuries. Pray I am wrong.

Nope definitely heard other people say he is not as explosive as he was a few seasons ago. He is obviously a slow starter to a season but still...
I assume he is thinking "give this mob another season and if Spurs in limbo leave"............but few teams will be able to afford him and those who can surely looking at Haaland or Mbappe instead.
Younger and probably not that much more expensive than Kane when you consider the Levy factor.

I feel like this post would have made more sense 2 years ago. At this point it’s pretty clear he’s become a good but not great striker, like post-injury Shearer. 27 isn’t even a late decline.

Mourinho reckons the Spurs players aren't fit enough. That's usually an excuse used by a coach when he first takes over.
Anyway a nice start for PSG - two leagues games, two defeats, seven players with the virus and three sent off in one game.

Test events are going to continue but with 1,000 fans. While it would be good for the fans to get back in it's not really testing anything and will cost clubs more than empty stadiums if the refreshments and concessions aren't trading. The only people inside will be season ticket holders who've spent their money already and need policing. The Premier League have already said they won't join the test events until a viable number are allowed in.

Elboomerang has signed a new three year contract at Arsenal. He must like playing on Thursdays.

Norwood's on Fire
Yeah I would hazard a guess there's maybe ten clubs in the EFL with less than 1k season ticket holders so it causes more headaches than anything

Macclesfield have been wound up in the High Court having been tossed out of the League through points deductions.

10 EFL games with 1,000 fans this Saturday - assuming Morecambe can raise that many who want to attend. 1,000 at Middlesbrough seems pointless.

I really like Emi Martinez, and he did a solid job when stepping in for Leno at the back end of last season. Was quietly very impressive. But selling a backup keeper who was very clearly never going to displace your true number 1 for £20m seems like a very good piece of business. Just today's market I guess.

also Aston Villa are rapidly taking over from Leeds as the dumbest run "large club"

Villa give Exeter money, hence they are good. Actually genuinely don't think they've made terrible signings, expensive ones but not bad.
Luton have pulled out of the aforementioned trial because they weren't ready, you'd think the EFL would have asked them that before they put their name on the list.
I also don't get this 1000 thing at all it just seems a remarkably stupid and arbitrary number, obviously, all smaller stadia could hold, but ya know bigger spaces may be able to hold more, I know I'm probably being too scientific.
Just like most things covid related a mish-mash of nonsense. I'm quite glad we're not one of the experimental clubs whacked in the petri dish.
