David Pleat

I see he has been offered a job as a scout for us, any thoughts ?

Anthony Gardner was one of his finds, wasnt he from port vale ? pleat tends to scout around the lower divisions and thats ok as long as this is not levy cutting the purse strings.
If the story is true of course ?

I think the same to Baz, i like his opinion, when he commentates on matches i like to hear his evaluation of players & managers , he is a Tottenham man like him or hate him , and we should as a club always look after our own

When he is doing his punditry he comes across as a man with a real passion for the game and an individual with a vast knowledge of football & a keen eye for it's finer points . . . . . . .

I hope arry stays to be honest with you i like the new look spurs and hey way arry is handling the team selections, i like pleat but i cant see him taking over as temp manager, i seriously think he is filling the void commoli left behind..spotting talent before other clubs do its a spurs tradition :P

Not really lob ! i like the bloke and feel that he knows he didnt fill the potential he had while (main man) manager of spurs all those years ago.
He had put a great team together and those fa cup games against the goons were classics.
I also like the fact that he did look to the lower divisions, many a top player came from the lower reaches of the football league to make a name for themselves, and gardner wasnt a bad cb, he just got injuries too often.
I feel comolli was in a different class to pleat when talent spotting, but he was given too much power at whl, i mean what is a director of football ? afterall its a scouting job when you look at it, but the manager should always have the final say, because he takes the blame for results.
