Mancini would be the worst choice of the lot

His man management skills are shocking, speaks to players like they are something on his shoe, he would lose the dressing room in 5 minutes

People think AVB is arrogant and rude? Mancini is that x10


Hmm, was it not widely reported that our own Glenn Hoddle used to be exactly the same with his players?

Should have taken the PSG offer/compensation. He couldn't have been that annoyed at the start of the season with Levy other he would have gone.


I was just thinking this - I wonder when the fall-out happened as they seemed keen to hang on to him when PSG were interested?

On Capello:
The Fabio Capello/Spurs link seems rather unfeasible to me. Capello earning top dollar in Russia, World Cup to come, nice comfortable job
The Spurs squad is designed for a completely different football in mind than what Capello represents...
And more to the point: whenever Baldini has previously been involved in manager appointments,he's gone for coaches very different to Capello
He later mentioned Luis Enrique and Zeman at Roma as the two most recent examples.

On important considerations for new managers:
The key to improving Spurs, is to work on attacking movements and "mechanisms". Squad packed with underperforming attacking talent
And that job requires someone exceptional on the training ground, rather than a traditional "motivator" or "man manager"
And for that reason I really cannot see Capello or Hoddle being suitable in the slightest. Would make no sense whatsoever.
On his opinions on potential new managers:
Spalletti would be my absolute favourite. Pochettino interesting too. Laudrup, safe and solid option. I love Bielsa but far too risky IMO
I haven't seen Spalletti mentioned elsewhere. He's currently at Zenit in Russia, previously he's been at Roma and Udinese as well as the smaller Empoli according to Wiki. he seems quite highly rated and lasted from 2005-2009 at Roma (a bit of a madhouse at times) and he's lasted since December 2009 in a job in Russia. Pointing towards an ability to get decent results.

Worth mentioning that there's a link between Spalletti and Baldini, apparently they played together as players (although I haven't been able to confirm that, I'm sure someone will be able to) and there were stories saying that Spalletti wanted Baldini to Zenit after Baldini parted with Roma. Karlsen who is recommending Spalletti has worked at Zenit whilst Spalletti was there iirc so he should know more about the man than most, although you might of course also say that he's biased.

Whoever it is. (Except Deadwood)

I hope they line up something like this..


Lloris

Walker Vertonghen Chircihes Rose

Lennon Eriksen Sandro Lamela

Adebyaor

Soldado.

Simple game really.

If you're going to play half the team out of position, at least spell their names correctly.

And you'd be correct in your sureness (y). Did you see any of the games he was in charge of? They made AVB's "boring football" look more like 'Takeshis Castle' in comparison.
Boring doesn't mean shit though if it gets results. It's just boring.

Is simple.

Hoddle for the fashion of the club

or The Hidd for the future of the club.
