The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Tuesday, July 2

good morning!

It’s July 2, which means we’re a couple days behind recapping all that’s happened in the EFL Championship from June.

Thankfully, not much happened.

I guess the most pertinent thing for this blog is a certain player from a certain club possibly joining Tottenham Hotspur. But we’ve covered this plenty, so why add that again here?

There was only one real notable development from last month, which is that Sunderland finally appointed a manager: Regis Le Bris.

I know all us fans here bemoaned the Spurs managerial saga a couple years ago (lol remember Nuno?) but that pales in comparison to the 100+ days Sunderland hand to go til they finally landed on their manager.

I don’t know a darn thing about this guy. I hope he does well, mostly cus I want Jack Clarke to do well. Gotta root for the Spurs boys wherever they are (unless they’re managing Chelsea - which they’re not).

The EFL Champ preview will come in due time. But let me give you a preview of the preview: I don’t expect much from Sunderland this year. They were seriously dreadful last season adn I don’t understand why they’d be considered top-six contenders this season.

But that’s for another day. Til then, let’s just enjoy the pics of Micky van de Ven whilst we can.
