Feels like the journo's are all throwing shit at the wall and waiting to see what sticks.
I agree with others on here that our lack of technical players, especially in midfield is a worry and one that could affect how well a coach like Enrique starts. Tuchel makes a degree of sense and I don't think he's as awful as some make out. His Chelsea side went toe to toe with most top clubs in Europe. They were awful up top but then again what's changed under xGraham Potter?
Poch just has too many red flags for me. There were great times under him but there were also bad ones. We all have our theories as to why, but the fact is we were ineffective in attack and struggling to break teams down under his tenure too.
I don't know enough about the others. Gallardo intrigues me greatly and I think he'd need the fewest signings in order to get his brand of football flowing. The one thing about him is he feels like de Zerbi at Sassuolo. If we take a punt on him we could be rewarded.

For me, this all hinges on how persuadable Kane is with respect to signing a new contract.
If Kane remains open to staying at the club, then for me we should go for Tuchel. He's the kind of big name that Kane could get behind, while also having success at clubs like Mainz and Dortmund where he wasn't provided with big signings of ready-made stars. Tactically flexible and capable of playing in different formations to suit the players in his squad. A proven winner at the highest level whose methods would not be incompatible with our transfer policy. Were it not for the Chelsea association, I'd say he ticks every box.
If Kane is leaving, on the other hand, I'd like to see a project manager such as Gallardo. We'd need to accept that we will be taking a massive step back as a club and will need to rebuild from the ground up.

Yeah definitely a risk.
I would say there's a slight caveat with Gerrard though. His assistant manager was widely known to be the brains of the operation and it only went fully tits up at Villa after he left to manage QPR in the summer.

Think it’s what best for Spurs not Harry Kane.
“If Pochettino does not return, Tottenham would draw up a shortlist that is likely to include Brighton & Hove Albion’s Roberto De Zerbi, Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou, Lille’s Paulo Fonseca and Sporting’s Rúben Amorim while former Spain and Barcelona boss Luis Enrique would also be interested if approached.”

I think most of the Tuchel worry revolves around him arguing with various club boards, and we have a certain someone at the head of ours..

It is obvious to me. That is why I expecting us to return to CL not earlier than in 5-6 years.No manager is going to do anything successful if the owners don’t invest in areas that need it

I don't really care who the next manger will be.
But, I do care that the club take steps to ensure said manager can be successful.
There needs to be an upfront discussion and agreement with a new manager over the type and caliber of player needed to play that style of football. There needs to be a time-frame committed to achieving that squad.
There is no manager who is going to come in and get this squad playing well - we need changes - both in and out. Fans need to have a bit of patience - but that has to be earned by the club in showing they are committed to taking the right decisions to improve the long-term success of the club.

There is that, but there are plenty of posts on here about his football style not being what we want. They had our number at Stamford Bridge this year (who hasn't though) and completely dominated us.

There's a massive amount of overlap between those two things though. Look how fucking poor we were without him in the cup. He's by far our best player, and realistically is irreplaceable with Daniel Levy signing off on all recruitment decisions. If he leaves then we are looking at a multiple-year long project before we'd have any hope of competing at the top.
If we can persuade him to stay by hiring the right manager, then it's in our best interest. Key word being the right manager. Obviously there's a limit to this principle (I wouldn't suggest hiring Mason if it would placate Kane, for instance), but we're talking about choosing from a list of top managers here.

The most important word, and one that I’ve seen in pretty much every article coming out today, is “likely”. It might be an educated guess but I think pretty much every article I’ve read today have all been guesses.

Disagree strongly with the conclusion.
We look like we are in for a "project" with or without Kane. The best way to fund that project is by selling Kane - lord knows ENIC are not going to fund it.
So, if our option is one more year of Kane, and he walks for nothing, or we sell for anything north of £80M this summer - I much prefer selling an asset rather than throwing it away.

Worse? Yes we could re-appoint Nuno. It would be a disaster to appoint Ange Postecoglou. If we're considering him then we might as well try for Steven Gerrard while we're at it.
This for me, we can go round and pick any manager that’s trendy, we’ll be back here in 12-18 months.No manager is going to do anything successful if the owners don’t invest in areas that need it
that alone is why I’m all over a Poch return, he knows what he’ll have to deal with

Journalists are just guessing now. Tells me nothing is leaking out, nothing is advanced or the club are nowhere near sacking Conte.
