News is breaking that Ryan Mason will remain in charge of Tottenham until the end of the season.
This clearly means that the sacking of Jose Mourinho was not pre-planned with a replacement lined up.
It also means that the club is probably not that confident of landing the likes of Julian Nagelsmann who is likely to end up at Bayern Munich.
There is also this rotten Super League to contend with simply because no one has an idea what competitions Spurs will be in next season. What right-minded manager will take a job with a club that could possibly be thrown out of the Premier League.
It may also be the case that Daniel Levy has his eye on one or two potential managers but they cannot come before the end of the season.
That would then possibly rule out the likes of Max Allegri and even Maurizio Sarri.
That said, it could be anything and the only thing we know as a matter of fact is that Ryan Mason will lead the team out against Man City in the Carabao Cup at the weekend.
