I got a feeling we will go for De Zerbi as the less risky option. I think people are getting carried away with Brighton though. He would jump at the chance to join us. Brighton will always sell their best players. They're just having their time in the sun like Leicester and West Ham did. We've been qualifying for Europe year on year. Even in a bad year we're close to Brighton in the table when they're maxing out. Even with their great infrastructure and the concern with working for Levy I can't see him turning down a big job on bigger pay. Even if it doesn't work out he'll have been paid far more and will just go and join another team down the road. I think we pay up for him rather than risk someone like Slot.

Very Good article on slot here, not sure how to post without the paywall though.

Arne Slot - a champion with Feyenoord and a manager coveted by the Premier League
Arne Slot served a lengthy coaching apprenticeship but, having established his pedigree at AZ and Feyenoord, he is a man in demand

I would even say Rodgers is as well and is less reactionary even though it’s not popular to say having come off a terrible season where they were struggling with FFP and recruitment. Last season or the one before he was really overachieving with Leicester.

I disagree - I think even if we want him he doesn't come. We got turned down by Potter 2 years ago when we were in a similar position and Brighton were doing worse under (arguably) a worse manager.
De Zerbi has too much to lose by coming to Spurs in our current state even if he gets a big pay bump. I think he bides his time and goes somewhere else in a year or two for an equally big pay bump but a more stable project.
I also don't think it's a coincidence that his name seems to be less prominent in recent articles about our manager search, whereas other names like Slot, Alonso and Amorim have been mentioned more. I reckon the club know it's pretty unlikely we get De Zerbi, and also very expensive to pay off Brighton, so are looking elsewhere.
Would love to be proven wrong on this one, though.

Levy is the boy who cried wolf many times with our club and we are NOT a great prospect for the future of any manager.
Probs get pulled up for this post but this IS the here and now with us.
We can’t just ‘go and get (insert name of good manager here)’.

De-Zerbi has done brilliantly at Brighton. They played Arsenal off the pitch, movement, direct, technically good players all playing as a team. I would be very happy to have him but he won't leave them this season.
Slot seems to have good qualities as well. The more I read the more I like but I have not seen any matches so a bit blind on it.
Get the DoF and then just get one of them in and back them to the hilt.

Especially hearing how much the players like him and respond to him it's hard not to get excited about the guy:
Players seem to adore Slot.
Oussama Idrissi, who has been a key part of Slot’s teams at both AZ and Feyenoord, was asked recently by the Dutch newspaper AD where Slot ranks in the coaches he has played under. “For me, he’s the best,” said the Moroccan winger. “He can develop players and make teams play fun football.”
When it was pointed out that he has also played under Julen Lopetegui, Herve Renard and a guy called Erik ten Hag, Idrissi reiterated: “Slot was the best.”
You will not struggle to find other players with similarly effusive things to say about him. “He is one of the best managers I’ve ever seen,” said Alireza Jahanbakhsh, the Iranian forward currently playing under Slot at Feyenoord. “In football terms, even the best. At the moment, he is the best in the Netherlands.”
Reiss Nelson spent last season on loan at Feyenoord, becoming a regular in the second half of the campaign. “Arne Slot is a great manager,” he told the Colney Carpool podcast. “He really got me into my rhythm. He gave me a lot of opportunities to play and I excelled.”

I remember when Leicester City were the darlings of "how a club should be run" and before them Southampton and now both will be in the Championship next season. Heck even Swansea was too at one point.
Fact of the matter is that it's insanely difficult to essentially outsmart all of Europe on undervalued talent and one or two bad windows can unravel the operation.
Not saying RDZ would come here, probably just stay put for a bigger job to come (maybe back in italy) but selling your best players year after year would be a headache I imagine
Facts - Brighton are currently in the top 6

Agree but you could argue that Rodgers is on a downward projection.
De Zerbi is on the up and hasnt had the 'big' club yet (Rodgers having failed at Liverpool)

I think that is unfair on Jensen. I’m not saying he was/is a world beater but he was t given any opportunity to shine. Coming in with 5 minutes to go every third game doesn’t give any player, especially a striker, any chance to get up to speed to even begin to impress. It was the same with Vinicius and he’s doing quite well at Fulham because they actually give him some real game time.
