The inability to secure the services of a second-string coach has left the bulk of fans online in a right fluster, to put it mildly. Quite how Spurs are planning to spin themselves out of this mess remains to be seen. Whilst overseas, reporters cited financial reasons for the talks collapsing, it is no shock to me whatsoever to discover that English reporters are being fed the line that Spurs’ head was turned by Gennaro Gattuso.
Personally, I find this prospect frankly bizarre. As a coach, this fearsome character has won just one solitary Copa Italia to his name. Furthermore, in his eight managerial appointments to date, the 48-year-old has only survived more than a year in three positions.
The circus continues, and a shambolic season now spills into the summer break. One cannot imagine what Harry Kane is making of all this.
A cursory glance at social media shows us that THFC’s credibility is at an all-time low.
