Re: Football Season 2012/2013
Looks like Sigurdsson is going to Spurs. I always find it strange when clubs make signings when they have no manager. Who's making the decision? Do they make the decisions when there is a manager? Maybe it would put off potential managers and it can't be good for the player if he doesn't know who he will be playing under surely?

Yeah but Spurs have operated in this way before. Daniel Levy makes the decision and it's not the first time he has done so, Van Der Vaart was pursued by Levy although he did first confirm with Redknapp before making the final bid. Levy wants to go to a Director of Football model if reports are to be believed so this isn't out of character.

Not really sure why any player would chose Spurs (a team that have reached their peak and will probably do no better) over LFC (a team that are on the way up after a bad league campaign).
Particularly when this player already knows the manager of one club whilr the other club doesn't even have a manager!

Realistically they won't be going any lower than they did last season. Spurs will be lucky if they finish in the top half.
