Obviously getting hammered 5-0 by Liverpool was the final straw.

He wasn't particularly popular any way.

Relieved more than upset.

£100mill spent in the summer and they all look average so far.

In light of this sad occasion I'll be operating a support group for distressed Tottenham Hotspur fans every night this week at the end of the Heugh Breakwater.

I thought that said AVB is a gooner- would explain why he spunked their budget and then kept reverting to suicidal defensive tactics.

To be fair I watched that game last night and Liverpool were relentless. On the other hand he should have done something about his defence when they shipped six at Manchester City. All that money in the summer went up front and in midfield.

Seventh and eight points off the top doesn`t show a bad club though.

No it doesn't. If I was being serious it is a typical modern daft sacking but I was just looking for a cheap gooner joke.

alienlife · **Posted:** Mon Dec 16, 2013 11:44 pm

Some of us left the gooner (which auto corrects to groomer and that's a strong accusation) jokes.

It is a fucking moronic sacking, I hope whoever they end up with is shit.

It didn't help his cause by playing a midfielder in central defence against one of the best forward players in the world. He was chasing shadows all day. Its a big club - don't they have a proper centre-half to put in?

Being on equal points with "You must be" Joe Kinnear does just.

Didnt he have the best win record for any Spurs manager since the war? Is in a better points position than last year but because he isnt playing fancy football and lost two games massively he has to go. Sometimes the board of clubs are mental.

Well I think sometimes the managers are mental.

What possesses them to think playing 1 up front with three holding midfield players at home will endear them to fans?

Football is meant to be entertaining. Some managers have no idea about that.

Its the same with the long ball merchants. It amazes me that Allardyce and mangers like him still keep getting jobs as well.

Compo · **Posted:** Tue Dec 17, 2013 11:47 am

I agree about long ball merchants but can I ask you a question would you rather Pools play "attractive" footy and get beat or play three holding midfielders and win 1-0 over 50% of the time??

There is no reason to play three holding midfield players ever..................unless you are scared.

4 5 1 is a system I always think shows the manager is more scared of the opposition than he has faith in his own players.

So we could win 50% of the games 1-0 playing like that, but I would hate it.

And as soon as the wins dry up, so would everyone else.

And if those wins were away from home with shite home form then Mick Wadsworth would get the sack.
