New Era

OK.  Well I just watched a fantastic game of football where the spurs were able to win against Liverpool.  Imagine that, the team at the bottom of the table beating the top team in the league.  What a difference a week can make.  So, I figured this would be a good time to post some new thoughts.

As for being able to fire a manager at any point, why not?  I mean, I can understand that players need to have some security for contracts as they can get injured and no one can play their best every day.  But a manager is completely different.  Their sole job is to make sure that the team executes as they should.  If a team is not doing well, especially when they have potential (example: finishing top 5 2 years in a row), you can't expect to fire all your players and hire new ones.  But you have to be able to change something.  The coach is the logical choice.  Ramos was running the team poorly, and as you can see, they do have potential.  

I am not saying that a team should not have loyalty to their managers, because they should. However, it should only be given when it is due.  Ramos was coach for all of half a season.  Someone like Sir Alex should absolutely be given loyalty from Manchester.  He is a knight after all.  I love Redknapp.  Jamie used to play for us Spurs, and there is some history there.    From what I am told, their was a bit of a language barrier for Ramos and the team.  (It would be a whole other post to talk about the fact that a coach does not need to speak the same language as most of the players on their team).  

Well, I guess the moral of the story is that managers should be up for review at all times.  That comes with the territory.  Hey, as long as Tottenham keep on winning, they can have anyone manage them.  Welcome Harry and the new era of Tottenham football.
