So does that make him more or less realistic than Jose and Pep?

(y) just makes him as unrealistic as Pep,.... I didn't know about the lok moscow deal. there's just not that many strong candidates out there - making Harry's sacking even more questionable now

I'd be very dubious about Bilic in any case. Top bloke, but one season at Hajduk and then international management is not good preparation for the EPL.

One name who i haven't heard discussed at all is Marcelo Bielsa. He's my choice, by a country mile. He's just signed a new 1 year contract extension with Bilboa, but 1 year would hardly necessitate a huge buy-out.

Would want, but not available:
- Jose
- Ancelotti
- Klinsmann

Would want, probably available
- Martinez
- AVB

Do not want, available or not
- Pep G
- Bilic
- Moyes
- Capello
- Pardew
- Benitez
- The rest

....

Would take either of the two in that middle group. AVB is odds-on this evening. So whilst I'd marginally prefer Martinez, AVB would be ok with me, albeit a reasonably large risk.

Seems like its all avb talk now. I only remember how Chelsea looked their age when he was around. Slow buildup and no creativity whatsoever. He is the portuguese version of moyes. Either way we are doom.

How about Rudi Garcia from Lille?...
"On 18 June 2008, Garcia rescinded his contract with the club to join Lille OSC, the club where he had spent six years as a player in the 1980s. In his first season, the club from Northern France developed a stylish and attacking approach, contrasting with previous coach Claude Puel's cautious and often boring tactics. Garcia's novel approach enabled players such as Ludovic Obraniak and Michel Bastos to develop, the latter becoming the club's top scorer in the league with 14 goals. Interestingly, he also gave a lot of playing time to promising youngster Eden Hazard, and the Belgian repaid this faith with some scintillating displays. Rudi Garcia was deservingly awarded the prize for best Ligue 1 coach of the 2010-11 season."

Maybe Lucien Favre from Borussia Moenchengladbach?
"Lucien Favre’s teams play a dynamic, quick and attacking minded football where ball possession and change of tempo alternate. This attractive style of play has brought results in every club he has managed. Furthermore, Favre is very skillful tactically, leaving his opponents struggling to penetrate his well-organized sides.
Lucien Favre is also well known for his ability to develop talented young players and introduce them into the first team."

Just throwing a couple names out there for conversation... ;)

;) Just as desperate as Levy now... the only interesting names available in the poll are,... well,.... not really available.

lifted from a May 2012 blog:

Rudi Garcia (LOSC Lille) - speaks some English I believe. Being the coach of Eden Hazard he surely knows "I won't sell": Oh and he turned Joe Cole into something half-decent, as well.

Lucien Favre (Borussia Monchengladbach) - speaks English.

I went for De Boer for reasons I've stated in other threads. I'd be happy with Blanc, Klopp, AVB. Wouldn't be happy with Martinez. Don't buy into their good streak at the end of the season and they don't defend at all.

He could, but I'd put him in the 'risky' category. However great his season with Porto was, you can't avoid the fact that it's a major surprise when they don't win the Portuguese league; added to that, how many SC members are such close students of Portuguese football that they'd even heard of him when he took over? It seems to me also that it's easy to blame the Chelsea old guard because they're such an unpleasant bunch that we, well, just want to blame them, don't we? This avoids the awkward point that he tried to impose a system without a proper appraisal of the players he had to work with.

I posted in another thread, it's not too difficult to identify managers who would be a safe pair of hands, like Moyes, Capello, Ancelotti, Mourinho, van Gaal and one or two others; the other group—AVB, Martinez, Sherwood—could astonish us, could be a disaster.

That's an excellent point.

It's difficult to see where we're going to recruit someone to do a better job than Harry. 4th-5th-4th while playing attractive football is going to be difficult to top. I hope Levy has a someone perfect in mind. His track record with managers is pretty poor.

If any of you would like to articulate why you think he would come to Spurs I'd be interested to hear
Same with those who voted for Pep G

To be fair It's not who you think will be the manager, it is who you would approach. Probably Levy's number 1 Target would be Mourinho too and I'd be shocked if Levy didn't pick up a phone to Pep.

Almost every new manager would be a risk. Past records at different clubs don't always translate well. In any case I'm not really sure Levy is looking for a 'safe pair of hands' otherwise he'd have just kept Redknapp.

I think he wants a younger coach with modern coaching techniques to utilize the new training facility, someone who will help to push our academy and make us self sustainable.
