I often hesitate when answering this question, but my view on this season’s Tottenham is quite clear. The poor quality of the club’s fit available players is the main reason why the team is stuck deep in the relegation battle. Pro football works just like a company. Great employees make or break the business and a group of elite players has way more impact than any single manager. The players are the ones on the pitch playing not the coach. Let’s be real, at least half of this current Spurs squad isn’t even Premier League quality. Take Bergvall and those cheap signings we gambled on last season, for example. These deadweight players are the ones who ruined the campaign. The manager’s role in all this is less than 30%. However, this only applies to Tottenham. For teams like Chelsea and Arsenal with fluctuating results, I would be more inclined to blame the managers.All in all, I think it is hard to find a standard answer to this question.   submitted by   /u/HuckleberryTani [link]   [comments]
