I don't feel any excitement or passion for the club until Levy is gone. The general feeling is pure apathy towards everything Tottenham related.
I genuinely feel sorry for the next manager; they will be in a difficult position as Levy is still there. The fans won't trust we are going in any direction if Levy calls the shots.
Even if we got the dream team of JN and a DOF approved by JN, I still wouldn't care as Levy is there, and I'll expect everything to change within 18 months.
It is the story of Tottenham in the last 20 years.

If the new structure means the DoF is the focal point and drives the vision, culture and philosophy rather than the coach then this whole process makes some sense because not many established coaches will work like that but it is what’s best long term. Problem is, we don’t have a DoF so it’s just conjecture that it’s their motivation. If we established a clear philosophy and culture, you could do what Brighton or Barca or Dortmund or Leipzig do and not live and die by their coach. The coach is the extension of the system rather than the center of it. If that’s what we’re doing then it makes sense that we don’t want to pay £15m for a manager.

People who haven’t been paying attention to what Postecoglou has been doing are going to be so positively surprised if we appoint him.
I’m so confident of this.

In what way, I don't know much about him, and I don't subscribe to the "its a shit league" rhetoric pedalled about about some managers and where they come from.

Yep people writing him off don't have a clue about him or his style of play or his achievements or his personality. His style of play is really close to pep, very high possession and quick ball movement, very attacking, give him the right players and time and he'd be loved by Spurs fans, he's a big bear figure like Martin Jol, strong but loveable.
I preferred Slot, he was the one but big Ange is about as close as we could find.
He's a very similar candidate to Slot in many ways.
I don't for a minute however think we will be able to get him though.
We will be going for the 'last girl on the dancefloor at 3am' again aka Nuno aka Glasner, Galtier, Rodgers, or another not good fit out of work manager.

I do like Ange, but do I trust Levy to leave him to do what he does best? Nope.

Why the hell wouldn’t you go and get Potter?
Am I missing something? I know I’m not as knowledgeable about football as our board lol but this whole saga is absolute nonsense AGAIN
Maybe they don’t want a project. Maybe they
Maybe they are a complete and utter laughing stock
Can’t believe the club could have made it any easier not to renew than the summer of 2021 but they’ve surpassed themselves again

The only thing I’d say is that Celtic are kind of expected to win their league whereas not so much for Feyenoord.

Going by what Herc’s said we’ll be fucking lucky if it’s Ange. If he’s got half a brain he won’t go near us and ruin his reputation.
I’m really getting worried for how next season is going to look. Even if Kane stays, could see it being a similar situation to Eriksen’s last 6 months with us and right now Kane’s been the difference between us and being where the likes of Everton are this year.

Anyone who has heard any pressers with him are bound to know what he’s about. His players love him and work their socks off for him, it’s just cause he is in Scotland that people don’t rate him.

I don't see us being rejected. It's more us rejecting any manager that wants to so things his way over Levys. Even the Slot news was followed by reports of him snubbing us. It's bullshit, we could have had him if we paid up. The issue isn't managers not wanting to join as such, plenty would join if they have some level of control. It's more down to us to agree to those terms. That's why it's so frustrating because there are top managers available and we could get 1 but Levy must do things his way as always. Even if he does agree it will be temporary and he will be back to doing his thing again.
This is fair, and I thought about this after I posted this.
However, for me, it's about HOW they won the league. It was nothing like Strachan, Lennon, or even Rodgers.
It was pep-esque positional play, a high press, and fluid attacking full of flair.
It was everything we're asking for.

Problem is that Intelligence and Common Sense are not the same thing. We know he has the first, and a lot of it. As far as the latter is concerned ........ hhhmmmmmm!

Would rather give Ange a go than lots of other names that have been mentioned, but it would be an absolutely massive challenge for him.
