    I agree with what Anthony said about there Lennon leaving something to be desired from a tactical standpoint though.

    No it's not, it makes it less impressive.

    Much easier to progress through to the second round of the Champions League when you can rest the big guns and cruise through the league in 3rd gear.

    I don't see why he'd be compelled to stay with the Hoops over a mid-table EPL team at this point either. When Forster bounces for Man U in January, this team is going to be hard pressed to even qualify for the CL group stage in 2014.
    Forster is trying to dislodge Hart and make the World Cup squad for England, why would he go to Utd to sit on the bench for the most important six months of the season?

    And Lennon will be compelled to stay because he's guaranteed a league title (which mean he' guaranteed to coach in the Champions League every year) and should easily be winning one of the domestic cups alongside it each season. Much better than going to Cardiff or Fulham and getting sacked after 8 months when Citeh put 7 past you and getting knocked out by Brighton in the 3rd round of the League Cup.

      Forster has been flirting with an EPL move since the summer, and Moyes is supposedly a fan of his.

      I think Forster understands that facing one or two shots a game in the SPFL is never going to be enough to overtake Hart, and with one year left on the contract the Hoops don't want to let him walk away for nothing in 2015.

        No way Forster is better than De Gea. If Moyes thinks so, he's a moron

                    and Spurs lose @ home to West Ham

                    Just have to stay close to the top in the premier league and keep treading water until the team can figure itself out.

                        My cunt roommate was making fun of the Spurs for losing to West Ham, clearly the kid doesn't understand the importance of team cohesion and a manager. Then again he's an Arsenal fan, so he probably doesn't know much about the management side of things anyway.

                          Actually I'd argue that Arsenal fans know a good deal about management. If it weren't for Wenger's skill as a manager Arsenal would've faded long ago.

                            Double edged sword, my friend. He's likely never known another manager at the club besides Wenger, meaning he takes it for granted. It's alot like College BBall in that when you have a coach for 15+ years you tend to forget the struggles of adapting to management changes and the effects of lack of leadership.

                              Meh, I wouldn't say that, unless your friend is a moron.

                              I've been through Houllier, Benetiz, Hodgson, Dalglish, and now Rodgers. Hopefully we stick with Rodgers even when times get tough.

                                I think its one of those situations where he's thinking "Why don't they just go out and get a Top Flight A+ manager" when in reality AVB led Tottenham to their highest point total ever last season. I question his knowledge because he thinks Tottenham, while they've never been relegated, is in that top tier with Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool, and Chelsea, despite only once having a top 4 finish.
