Good news! He was just getting his feet under the table. He always wins something in his 2nd season.

Levy is a don, I love this guy. Got rid of Mourinho on the cusp of a final, binned M-Ange just as he's won something. Brilliant to see the chairman's formular for financial success.

Keep the club destabilised and ensure he and the board can keep racking in the share dividends.

One more rival in a rebuild without deep pockets as they're not a big spending club with huge debts from their Stadium build.

They're going after Glasner at Crystal Palace or Areola from Bournemouth, possibly Thomas Frank.

After the Mourinho, Conte - worldie route, Spurs have accepted they're a mid-table also ran. Subsequently they're targeting a manager of that Ilk.

The new man, whoever it is, won't get much of a budget looked at Levy's MO. He'll be expected to compete in the UCL which none of the 3 candidates have experience with, whilst competing to maintain a European birth via a solid league campaign.

That kind of step up is more than likely beyond the likes of Glasner or Frank, however Areola looks like he might have the chops to be a decent manager with the ability to level up.

Not fussed by the Lilly Whites. They're nickname is apt. They are cowards. This one trophy will be their last for another 30 yrs.
