spurs bluesky becoming such an unenjoyable place right now im gonna deactivate this account. theres enough shit in the world right now, i dont want football to be one of them. so miserable spurs fans: stay entitled, stay delusional and keep adding to your own misery. im fucking done

a terrible analogy imo. nothing on linkedin looks like online football fandom. and having opinions is not the same as those opinions being worth anything. buying a ticket doesnt make anyones opinion more valuable- its not a democracy

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Maybe we dont know/see everything? What is the grounds for comparism? Which clubs board is the standard to which our board are held? Maybe its a lot harder than we think? I realise calling out our fans isnt the best move but im just so tired of the bitching and moaning

Having opinions and demanding managers are sacked are two different things in my book

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

How do you guys square the circle of having no actual informed opinion about what you are watching with who/what a manager (a job you know nothing about, apart from seing them om tv) should be doing?

Im falling out of love with this club. And it has more to do with how the fans are behaving than anything the club is doing. Entiteled, delusional and clueless fans.

This game ended the way it should have, maybe we deserved more. I think people will be making too much of it, the xG folks who couldn't enjoy a win at the start of the year will remain silent as we continue to play the style of football everyone supposedly wants to see but aren't happy with. #coys

Getting visibly with spurs is par for the course. More than half our fans are that right now

000

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

we do. but one is 19 and just arrived from brazil, one is out for the rest of the season and out of contract after that, udogie injured half the time, and lastly spence is so right footed it only makes sense to play him on the right in terms of offence. so now we get an experienced homegrown leader

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

thinking that robertson is brought in as ben davis is out for the season. allows djed to play rb and hopefully get more crosses/passes right. and maybe we dont have to run porro into the ground. plus we get a homegrown leader with alot of experience. a lot to like about this

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

as a spurs fan even i agree with this.

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

having seen us do this under multiple managers, i think theres an element of player choice in dropping off. players also want to win and dont always follow manager instructions. also i dont think it was the plan to give the ball away in good transitions, although we had good chances 2.half

000

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

totally get that. that was also the reason for my initial hesitation. as i say, this was just something my brain got stuck on, and its not really even that important, as youve written a really good piece here.

000

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Ive been following you since x, prof and I dont mean to falsely attribute anything to you. That would be my poor framing (im not on my first language here, so forgive me if i frased it poorly.

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

end) I really did enjoy the article. And I really appreciate your insight. This was just a thing that my mind did. I dont want to waste your time nitpicking a good piece of writing so I will leave it here

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

c) Even “let them play” — temporary or not, is a leadership intervention based on a causal theory about psychology and performance. That makes it analytically comparable, not categorically different. Disagreement here isn’t realism vs fantasy, but which tradeoffs to bet on.

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

b) The tautology appears when one set of tradeoffs (control, risk reduction, structure) is framed as “illusory corporate thinking,” while another set (expression, initiative, affirmation) is framed as “accepting reality.” Both are prioritizations under constraint. One is just morally privileged.

100

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

a) We don’t disagree that tradeoffs exist. The issue is where you locate illusion. No serious football leader believes tradeoffs can be eliminated. That belief is imputed, not demonstrated. Most “optimizers” are choosing which tradeoffs to accept, not pretending they vanish.

100

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Saying “you can’t hack football” while arguing for a different way of leading it is a tautology. Rejecting “optimization” doesn’t remove tradeoffs, it just swaps which ones you prefer. “Let them play” is still a leadership model. Football isn’t anti-management; it’s anti bad management.

so ive taken my time with this out of respect for your work, but it became too much work for a busy dad. so here is a condenced version: /

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

i really dont think its been franks choice to give away the ball 20-30 times a game as a tactic.

110

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

for me, last night underlines the point ive been trying to make for ages: tactics and setup are less important than players being able to hit their passes and getting a rhythm. when our passes come off, the rhythm arise and we rode that last night. that also feeds our luck (margins). /

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

i think we have entered the stage where premier league games are more challenging than european group fixtures (in general). even lower mid table clubs have better squads (not necessarily players) than many european clubs, who have really good 11-16 but next to nothing behind that

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

always thought narration and rhetorical whimsicality where your strengths. but sad news for sure

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

i maintain that dropping off to preserve the lead isnt always down to the manager. this group of players have done that before (both seasons under ange he complained about them being too deep against his spesific instructions).

As one who currently works in law enforcement (not as a cop though) I find this to be absoultely disgusting behaviour from the maroccan police

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Its been a while since the players shower any kind of consistent capability, tbf. And thats including last season

100

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

i get that. that particular issue is more something that bugged me in terms of listening to pods from media productions. loved the way ange stuck his neck out for the club

020

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

im guessing someone has told him what fans think. but we also had this issue with ange, at least with sections of the media- how he was a bit too australian for the medias liking, especially when he lost games.

110

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

completely fair. but also remember, what he views as a risk and what you want to see of risk taking isnt necessarily the same

100

christian huseby @chrhuse.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

no evidence of what? i think he isnt gaslighting because as a fellow scandinavian, its not how we speak. we say what we think (more or less), in a direct way. now, him having a different view of the situation than most fans is to be expected, but i really doubt his intention is to gaslight.
