Summary

Oliver Glasner has set fire to his own ship at Crystal Palace, so imagine this - which old reliable strigiform is ready to swoop from the skies and extinguish the blaze? None other than Roy Hodgson of course! Unfortunately for the Ramble, that probably isn't going to happen. So if they don't break glass for Hodgson, who should they get instead?


Luke and Jim are on the Mailbag to tell Marcus that Sir Gareth Southgate might not be the answer to that question either. Plus, which manager from past or present would we most like to suckle on the teat of?

0:54.1

We're going to start with this gentleman from BigCon on Discord.

0:57.7

Hello, Big Con. He's always around Big Con. He loves it old Big Con and we love him. Should Spurs try to capitalise on the situation at Crystal Palace by sacking Thomas Frank and tempting Oliver Glasner away? If not, who should they go for? I can't imagine Glasner will be up for that but not the worst idea

1:14.6

Jim and tempting Oliver Glasner away. If not, who should they go for? I can't imagine Glasgow will be up for that, but not the worst idea, Jim. I mean, he's a very, very good manager. He'll, you would imagine he'll be on short lists anyway. It could be an opportunity where they go, we need someone, this isn't working, consider the rest of the season of free hit.

1:44.5

And I do see areas where actually that could work.

1:47.0

Because if you got van der Venn in a back, with the 352 and I look at the squad spurs have and I do see areas

1:44.5

where actually that could

1:45.7

work because if you've got Van de Van

1:47.9

in a back three

1:48.6

the pace that he's got

covers the gaps
