Hoddle may never manage again

[Spurs_Q8]

Hello mates

don't know where to post it, here or General Football, as Glenn Hoddle was legend at the lane, it could be interesting news for some fans here.

Glenn Hoddle rejects some offers recently and he may never return to manage again, as he stated that he could stay at his own academy for five years.

full details


happy for him as he is focused on his plans without care about something else, but this retirment for management is bad thing as i have always faith on him to become top manager. looks like Tottenham job 2001-2003 effected for his reputation as manager.

Can Levy not realise that this bloke has the footballing brain of a genius?

Get him, (even as a consultant) as 'The Academy & Footballing Director'. Scrap the Director of Football post, Comolli doesn't find talent, just buys pap.

Hoddle is the future for the Academy, and Spurs. End of rant.

he's not all that good though is he?

 

[chinaman]

Playing wise he's up there with the all-time greats of the British Isles; and indeed the rest of the world.

it wasn't Southgate/Rijkaard type of appointments, was it ? ( i meant managing in top level easily by using his reputation as player )

so .. How he was appointed here if he isn't that good ?

You sir, you cannot have seen him grace the hallowed turf.

Great player, but dubious manager - there is a difference!

Hoddle got us playing some great football, but he was never going to cut it at the top of the game, especially with his tendency to alienate players.

Hoddle got us playing some great football, but he was never going to cut it at the top of the game, especially with his tendency to alienate players.

But if he was lucky to take a job like Rijakaard (Barcelona) or big spending power like Roy Keane (Sunderland) as first job, his reputation could become top class a lt easier if he was a bit lucky .. as there are nothing to do with Swindon or Chelsea +90 .. even here, He wanted Eto'o and Morientes before their great time with Barcelona and Monaco but his moves blocked. Then a work-permit rules prevent him from signing wonderkid like Diego before known as top talent with Werder Bremen.

still conviced that, the luck playing a big rule in reputation for any Manager.

other example .. Avarm Grant, by taking the job at first place, then by managing his club to CL final within 9 minths which it wasn't done before under proven Manager like Mourinho for 3 years .. Does this mean he is better than Mourinho ?

you could see the answer between the CL draws for Mourinho and this year with Grant. if is was Mourinho, I'm sure they could do it this time.

The luck was just too bad for Hoddle everytime .. in England, Tottenham and even Wolves due to they financial problems.

I'm sure SS57 won't agree with me as always ;p

Give over, I'm not talking about his playing ability. Of course I know he's one of the greatest.

I'm disagreeing with the fact that he would be a good DOF, as arguably he made some terrible signings and decisions with the players that were already here.

Take his England manager position.

Without doubt, and without Audrey and the disabled kids debacle, he would have been and still would be, England Manager.

Wenger once stated that Hoddle would be a great manager.

Now - as an Academy manager at Spurs, ala Arnesen at Chelscum, I would love it!

Tosh. His first 11 at spurs only lost 3 game in 29. trouble is the buying policy was flawed old and injured and our spending wasn't anywhere near as great as it is now or under jol.

you'll not hear a bad word against Hoddle from the likes of King and Keane and Ian Wright (a staunch gooner) said the BEST manager/coached he worked with was Hoddle. I personnaly think the most controlled football we've played as a nation recently was under hoddle and at time our 352 formation passed teams to submission. He unfortunately had a transistional generation and if he hadn't said such stupid things about handicapped reicarantions he'd have had a chacne to work with gerard, lampard, cole, lennon, rooney, Terry (yuk) etc at international level not to mention an older becks, scholes and owen. we wouldn't be at home watching the euros if hoddle was still coach.

hopefully the downside of his maganerial qualities (man maangement) won't be an issue with younger lads that are less likely to rebel as he's giving them a second chance. The man is a great man and what he's doing now is very commendable and i hope and expect it to be a resounding success.

COYS!!!

Why "without doubt"? what makes you think that they wouldn't have sacked him and replaced him with (the far more qualified) Sven?

You are just being sentimental/ anti DC (who by the way has now got us to have the best youth team in Europe).

 

[northampton_yid]

If Sir hoddle is happy at his academy then so be it. Its a shame he wasn't given longer at the lane, we've never played such good football, and if he had the money some of our more recent manager have had, im sure we'd have had more silverwear by now.

Without doubt my favourite player of all time.

Forget sentiments, look at the... hang on.. what are you drinking? >>>who by the way has now got us to have the best youth team in Europe

Hoddle has been a proven player generator at Swindon and Chelsea. The trouble starts when big-shots start appearing on the scene.

That's why I reckon, if you can put the revision aside, I think he would be great within an Academy role at THFC.

All this about Hoddle being poor manager is tosh. He had good spells with Swindon(got them into the PL), Chelsea (unfortunately) England and Southampton. Paul Ince, may be a mug, but he knows his stuff, and he rated Hoddle as the best manager he'd ever played under, and that includes Ferguson and Venables. Hoddle might not be the worlds most charming individual, and he had a poor time with us, but as a coach and a tactician, he knew the game inside out. One story I remember is when training with England, he saw Beckham take a free kick, told him his technique was wrong and how to correct it, before taking one himself and knocking it in the top corner. LEG END

And that little anecdote sums up our glorious Legend of the Lane.

Many players who played under Glen have said that he almost seemed like he had to have the final "say" on the training ground. He would out-pass, out-cross, out-shoot the players he was supposed to be managing. He couldn't distance himself from the hollywood element. It belittled players who weren't up to his precise, intricate style of play.

Did he not give Becks his International captains break after advising Peter Taylor too?

Who are these players PT?

Care to share?

 

[saintlyspur]

we should find a position at the club for arguably our greatest player

Rup, I've had a few bottles of Becks, did you mean Eileen or have I lost the plot ?
