No 5pm statement. Booo.

Was thinking half a chance when they did the Garner gone announcement early in the day.

You would have thought that after nearly 3 weeks of yanking our chain they’d throw us a bone as soon as they could.

Even if it was just the current players that are re-signing.

I would love Mason, was a class above when he played here and has obviously got the chops being allowed to look after spurs for a few games and running their yoof bits until becoming first team coach. Would he take the step down to L2? I think so, if he wants management as a career.

My only negative I think as I hit the thirties and I'm just about coming to terms with all the players being younger than me, is if the manager is also younger than me I'll have to get over that as well. Nightmare.

Shit yeah. In which case, firm no to Mason.

Remember the first Town XI that was all younger than me was a cup game when I was about 24, which felt very unfairly early. 32 would be no age to be older than the manager.

Edit: this game. Branco is a few months younger than me, he was the oldest player on the pitch at 24.

Its when players you watched as a nipper start retiring that it hits you first. We should be comfortable with it now, to be fair.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. What a class player, good guy to boot, and obviously has something about him coach/management wise or a club like Spurs would have chosen someone else to caretaker. If not Micheal Flynn, I’d be delighted if we took Mason on. I think, objectively, it’d be good for his career too.

Spurs have a hell of an academy too and we'd do well to repair the relationship after the Luongo/Gladwin to QPR fiasco.

It was when we had players younger than my son when I started to feel old

Can't remember the last time a manager was older than me!
