The saying "can't polish a turd" comes to mind but with Tottenham still needing to play Wolves (although in good form) and Leeds the new manager bounce (if there is one…) might bury us.

We need to stop worrying about what others are doing and just focus on ourselves to be honest.
The most toxic manager available going to an already toxic dressing room in a toxic home atmosphere does not concern me. I think this will hurt them more than help.
Relegation aside, I hope they run this PoS out.
Nah, we can only control what WE do. Just get as many points as we can in the final matches and trust that Forest/Spurs/Leeds will stumble.
I learnt that Tudor was useless. Maybe De Zerbi will get something out of them. So yes, I’m concerned because there’s so much riding on it for us. But not specifically because I think they’ve made a good choice, it’s just another final toss of the coin.
5 years šššš
Didn’t stay a manager anywhere for longer than two years. I ain’t skurrd.
whatever they do doesn’t matter if we don’t win our games so… no.
I am worried because on paper Spurs are a very talented squad, especially when fit. And for everything with De Zerbi, on paper he is a good manager. You just hope the situation is already shit enough in the dressing room that adding a powder keg like RDZ is what finally blows it to bits and they bomb out the rest of the way
But thereās no sense of worrying about the results of others, the only thing we can do is make sure we maximize the points we get and pray that one of Leeds/Forest/Spurs implode and we take advantage of it
Canāt comment on his Marseilles stint as I donāt follow French football, but going from managing to a team that is competing for the CL, to one which is facing the prospect of a catastrophic relegation will require a very resilient mindset, which is not something I think he possesses. However, he probably only needs to get two or three wins and he has experience of the Prem (unlike Tudor), so Iād be lying if I said I wasnāt a little worried.
Lewis Dunk described his tactics when he first came to Brighton as ābafflingā and it took them a while to get used to it, and it all had to be done through a translator. The complete opposite of what Spurs need rn. Honestly think a few at Spurs donāt want to stay up. It would be more beneficial to some players there if they went down.
