‘He’s Interested…’

P00009 - El Jabato #90[2]

Hammer Horror

At a time of year when the great kickball experts of the world are putting together their end-of-season reviews and slapping a final coat of lacquer on their reflective, all encapsulating think-pieces, it was generous of Spurs to make the task that much easier on Saturday lunchtime, by presenting a comprehensive study of their campaign in ninety short minutes against West Ham. Flashes of excitement interspersed with cowardice and big, dumb defending.

That’s Tottenham that is.

The summer can’t arrive quickly enough for everyone involved with the club. Daniel Levy and his minions will steward yet another period of mass upheaval with replacing the coach just the start of it. Even the chaps manning the official Twitter feed might be watching their backs this week after signing off for the holidays with a 140-character-or-less smackdown on the side 15 points above us. Still, at least they’ve managed to keep us in good stock of pictures of Ledley King shaking hands and smiling over the course of the year. They’ve certainly managed that.

Bye Bye, Charlie

As Tim Sherwood prepares for his final hurrah against Villa at the weekend (the usual routine of twenty minutes of Angry Manager Face in the mirror while setting fire to a copy Inverting the Pyramid) the candidates for his replacement look to be emerging from the thickets. The most recent of those poor bastards to be linked is serial Spanish Pot Hunter, Rafael Benitez.

According to Jamie Carragher, the former Real Madird B manager would love to dip his toes in Premier League waters again. Despite just winning the Coppa Italia with Napoli, and having long since secured Champions League entry for the Neapolitan club, the hushed word in Football Town is that the Spurs job is one he’d be interested in.

There might be some folk uneasy with idea of employing another Chelsea (trophy winning) reject, but when a coach with a CV such as Benitez’s even flirts with the idea of managing your club, the very least you should do is show a bit of leg back and let him know you’re interested, too. Do the right thing, Daniel. Show Rafa a bit of your leg.

Show it.
