Unlike LVG who's never fallen out with anyone
LVG has even managed to fall out with himself he is that mad.
Louis Van Gaal appointed Man Utd manager.

I don't think there is a football ceo in the world who wouldn't have a say in where £100m is spent. Maybe fernandez and look where that got him.
Levy will hear the opinion of the scouts, the manager, the dof, finance and would then sign off. Levy doesn't sit at home playing fifa and then goes out and buy's a player because he scored a hattrick last night. These are multi million pound investments. We do not leave it up to one person. Because that person may be wrong/biased or just fuck off tomorrow.

You could probably also argue that the times Levy has sat back a bit and gone with the judgement of others are the times when we have arguably fucked up the most.

Exactly
I doubt it.
Top managers are, by nature, brimming with self belief. They will be confident that they can succeed where others have failed.
The Tottenham job is one of the most prestigious and well paid in all of world football. We will never lack for quality candidates clamouring for the role whenever it becomes available.
And besides, for all that Spurs has a reputation for going through managers like they are going out of fashion, the club is little different in that respect from the majority of other clubs. The likes of Ferguson at Utd and Wenger at Arsenal are the outliers - not the norm.

Besides the fact that for some reason, people like to trot out the longevity of their tenure as the cause of their success, saying "look, United gave Fergie time and look how he has done". The reality of course is that the length of their tenure is a consequence of their success, if Wenger hadn't won the double in his second season and created the invincibles, would the board and fans have put up with 9 years without a trophy? I doubt it.

Even if LVG is our next manager it will not be announced soon. It will be done in the usual spurs format.
Season ends, we hear bugger all.
Sherwood leaves, we hear bugger all.
World Cup starts we hear bugger all
World Cup finishes we hear bugger all.
Season drifts towards August we hear bugger all.
LVG finally gets announced, no new players yet
Last week if transfer window, Danny rose leaves, everyone flaps about lack of signings and we go into new season with roughly the same squad and sit 8th after first month.

Who let the optimisitc guy in here?
If we haven't heard anything by the time Sherwood leaves 1/2 our supporters will be looking for a bridge to fling themselves off and the other 1/2 will be split debating about the positives of bringing in LvG or Ian Holloway

We are fortunate to not have the 533 million fans that Liverpool do, as there would be a war.
That would be because og good work by LVG if we could be 8th without a recognised LB.

Yes and each of those fans spent less than 50p in supporting their club last year.

Think that's why we got broomfield back. Levy trusts him.

I really, really don't get all this flavour of the month thing being attributed to Pochettino. I judge on what I see, not hiding behind little cliches.
There is a very clear way he has Southampton playing, and they're totally consistent in that - week in, week out. That is very much down to the manager and that's what we should be judging him on - the evidence on the pitch.
Its not like a bunch of quality players being man managed very well, and each week its a bit of individual quality that gets them the result, then I could understand it.
Far from it, they have a collective identity, a very discernible playing style that is very pleasing on the eye and and is also dam effective. That's down to the manager, and what's even more impressive was how quickly he was able to get his ideas across.
Flavour of the month? Not a shot in a hell for me.

I just hope he puts as much trust in the next manager he appoints. I'm glad we've got Broomfield back though and I'd hoped his appointment would make Baldini's position redundant.

we have a squad that needs to be scared. Scared to dare put less that 110% every second of every session. Not Tim "we hear you but dont respect you" Sherwood scared but Louis "Oh my shit this geezer has won everything and is chasing me with his ball sack in his hand" Van Gaal scared.

Agree and its why I think we should also consider Capello.
