[spursandbarca]

ancelotti doesnt speak english properly.

apparently guardiola is going to sign another 1 year contract but he doesnt want to stay at barcelona forever due to the pressure hes under. he speaks english fluently as well

im fairly sure tottenham hotspur wouldnt even be on his radar if Pep left barca

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

Oh if he's Spanish and been involved with Barca he'll be brilliant.

Just like Juande and Gio then. Can't wait.

It's alright - he's Basque, not Spanish :wink:

 

[Paolo10]

Foreign's better though Dan innit.

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

Foreign's better though Dan innit.

Better than David Pleat, John Rudge, Nick Hammond, Barry Fry, Dennis Wise and Clive Woodward - the English candidates for the job.

How can you tell?

Redknapp is going to be the next England manager.

Now, he has been annoying me lately and I do like the thought of Ancelotti coming in.

The only thing that concerns me is that players such as Disco-Benny and some of the other lads seem to really like playing for Redknapp and I am concerned that his leaving could disrupt the spirit of the squad and lead to some players wanting out.

Can't really see it to be honest. Were Aitch given the push then maybe, but it would depend on how the next manager operated and how the spirit in the team was maintained.

Seen a lot of names mentioned here, thought I'd stick my two penn'orth in too, Frank Reijkaard (sp)? Didn't do too badly with Barca before Pep and has always been part of the 'Total Football' philosophy.

OMG! BREAKING NEWS! How did you manage to get your hands on the clubs shortlist for british managers....Levy will not be happy that this has made it into the public domain.

Fuck, imagine what sort of a state we would be in with a british manager.... Cant see us winning games at all, let alone getting champions league football.

Your right dan, any new manager must be foreign...its worked here before, so it will certainly work again. In fact im struggling to think of a foreign manager we have had here that has lost a game, or even conceded a goal......

Ardiles, Gross, Santini, Wanky Ramos....gods amongst men!

Thanks Ashcroft for yet another inciteful piece of insider information.

To be fair to Dan.....I think he was talking about the DOF role rather than the manager.

I think we can all agree there are better managers out there than Harry Redknapp. The problem is identifying them. There are the obvious ones like Mourinho and SAF who we can forget about, but after that who is there?

I think we should all be a bit careful what we wish for, for all his faults, Harry's done well with us and his departure could harm the side.

That said, I'm definitely in the camp that's prepared to give the old wheel another spin. AFAIC Harry's gone about as far as he can, all the clubs above and around us (except for Toon) either have better managers, more money or both, to progress we have to upgrade the squad everywhere and that includes the manager. The risk is instead of upgrading we down-grade, but that's always the risk I guess.

The good thing is that one way or another it will happen in the next nine months (in fact I hope it doesn't happen because of the court-case, because I hope he's innocent) and it won't be via a sacking but through his choice, this lays a good foundation for the new man to come in.

I share some of the reservations people have about Ancelotti, but if he was available and wanted to come then would be happy.

After him - and assuming no Mourinho - then I'd like to have a go with some of the new breed, the Poyet's, Lambert's and Rogers of this world. Our best chance of finding a world-class manager is getting him before he's prove himself and having him prove himself with us.

I also like Hughes but I feel there'd be so much negativity about his appointment that it wouldn't be worth it. We need to get someone in that most people agree is right so he has the best chance of making it work.

I reckon we should sign it up immediately, him and 'Arry together as a team would be an experience for us fans :grin:

 

[lukespurs7]

I just hope Harry stays for a long time yet.
If he does leave I'd rather get in someone who will play football in the Tottenham way.

Klopp is doing well and has a bit of the AVB about him. McCoist is not a bad shout but I think Owen Coyle would be great. He's got the right philosophy for spurs.

Why don't Managers and DoF's come as a pair? The fall out at spurs was over proprietorial rightsd in signings - if DoF's had a long-term working relationship with a manager then you'd get a more harmonious buying structure. The chairman could stilll be involved with negotiations and have final sign off. If it isn't working then he can sack the pair of them and get in another ready made unit.

We like a bit of lump it up to the big man then do we? :lol:

Is that a joke? What has he ever achieved as a manager other than getting Rangers knocked out of europe by Swedish minnows Malmo?

He has only just taken over for ranger and in his first season, no way is he good enough to take us to the next stage!

You would think that but no one wanted him last year mg:, Hunter said he was ready to leave but no one even made an approach, he thought inter might of come in for him but they didn't,

I think its the pressure of the job and the fact that his relationship with Rosell is not great

Graham hunter who writes alot articles on him recently wrote one on him in fourfourtwo and he wrote his next job would be in england and peps friends confirmed this

I'm afraid I don't agree with any of those suggestions (says the man who says he thinks Hughes could be a good option. I know, I know...).

Klopp has negatives as well as plusses against his record, enough to put a question-mark over him in my mind (though I know little of him except his record so I guess I'm no real judge).

McCoist has done eff all afaic, unless you're judging him on his sunny personality and affable charm on QoS?

Coyle, got a good write up a couple of autumns ago and all of sudden people thought he was good. It's a bit similar to how everyone but Spurs fans thinks BAE's a liability because of Alan Hansen on MoTD. In fact Bolton play diabolical long-ball football, they have done so ever since he's been there and it's a complete myth that they play an attractive, short-passing game in the style of Tottenham Hotspur. I would be seriously gutted if we signed him, but we won't anyway.

Ds of F and Head coaches coming as pairs would completely defeat the object of having a DoF. They're there to plan in the long-term strategic interest of the club while the Coach looks after the team on a day-to-day and match day basis. With a DoF in place you may change the coach without having to change the whole direction of the club's strategy each time you do.

I think Harry Redknapp could flourish in this role and part of me hopes he is offered it.

And that worked so well for us, didn't it?
