There is something to be said for stability. Hire carefully, and give your manager 5 years to make something happen – it takes that long to build a squad, get them to work together as a team, and to understand the nuances of your tactics.

When you change managers every 2-3 years, what you get is a mess of incoming and outgoing players, new and old tactics, and a boatload of compromises on all sides.

Jol would've made Tottenham into a CL squad if given another 2–3 years. Allardyce would've done the same for Newcastle (assuming they could've avoided the mess with Ashley and his crew).

O'Neil and Keane will do the same for their teams if they can avoid the sack for a few years…

Wisla Krakow looked a very decent team, and I don't see us getting a result in Poland. Sorry for the pessimistic views, but there is nothing good about Spurs now. Does any Spurs fan realise that in 2 weeks time our season could be over?
