Yes he was. When Alan Sugar was Chairman, he was approached, but in the Gerry Francis was offered the job....Kinda sums Spurs up really!

So we didn't appoint Hiddink and turned down the chance of signing Bergkamp and Zidane! Great work hey.

I'm not complaining. Yes, it was a shitty time, yes, Francis was a crap manager, but had history conspired differently I may well have never seen Ginola at our club, or several other names in the last ten years who have brought me delight.

Why would Hiddink have been successful at Spurs? He's never been a success in foreign club management before, so why would he have been successful for a club that has notoriously been a bit of a managerial graveyard? So many good managers have failures on their record. For the last 20 years Spurs has been the perfect club to give a good manager a blip on his record. If Hiddink can be unsuccessful at Real Madrid, Betis, Fenerbache and Valencia, then what hope would he have had at Spurs? Over the last couple of decades there has been far more wrong at this club than a good manager could fix. Lets' face it, as much as we disliked him, George Graham had done the double in this country, but all he could do was sustain the mid table mediocrity we're used to.
