Yup , the media love a fuck-up story and an alarming number on here are swallowing this clickbait narrative.

All this bull about 'I only care that we play good football' we see here. I call bullshit...If 6-7 defeats playing attacking footie occurred these types would be raging for a new manager. We want to win matches essentially.

So Conte raged about the club...sheesh a few insults here and there go right by me. The true offence committed by Conte for me was his dated rigidity. Happy he's gone. BUT he's done OK. He's forced Levy to buy players...for various reasons all haven't shone yet but will. We got 4th from a v difficult position. and now we are 4th (temporarily) again. This is an improvement. Crisis is those in relegation peril we don't have a fucking crisis.

Fuck..so what that Paratici made a statement and next day his ban came in. Ali Gold going apeshit wtf ? who cares ?....until recently Gold was raging that Paratici doesn't do enough communication via media ffs !

Old guys chime in here about how great it was last century and they cared back then.....Last League victory was '61...yes a few cup competitions. We've been close in the last 10 years, but hey, cups are like that. The club is still here. Get behind it .

We have good players, just a couple more additions could turn it into challengers. I'll run through them for removal of doubt for the frail of mind . Romero, Porro, Biss, Bents, Skipp, new Emerson, Son (back on form) Sarr, Udogie, Kulusevski.PEH has his moments, Richie may come good...then Kane's replacement bought with the 100 mill of his sale..or the man himself.

So Paratici got banned...thats just bad luck, he brought in a good few excellent players. We'll just go out and get another excellent DoF...no big deal. Well done Fabio..but ya gotta go sadly.

Yes we have a Chairman who only needs top 4. Conte has brought extra pressure on him happily. Levy will buy in the summer no matter who is managing.

Its been great fun wringing your hands and wailing about what a terrible club we are and that no manager with any class would come. But we play Monday and I for one will be rooting for the new management, I'm excited to see who plays and how we set up after poor, dated, over rigid management...which still managed to keep us near the top.

Fucking crisis ? Stop swallowing whole the media going about their business and generating clicks. Its their job .

Great post. Somehow the media is making us look worse for the Paratici case when the alleged wrongdoing is with Juve and there's still an appeal, after he initially wasn't charged.

To add that Ali Gold and others said that the women's team without a permanent manager is another crisis. Really, that women's team that is at their 4th season in the WSL?

when the Sun reports kovac turns us down it’s bollocks.

when they report something some of you want to believe it’s all of a sudden a credible read? Hmmm

I’m selling some new, extra tall magic beans. Who wants?

Like 98% of the stuff in this thread to be honest.

*Prefer the dwarf variety myself…

 

[Reece_Spurs]

As soon as Nagelsmann became available I thought we need to jump on that straight away, but after a a week to actually think about it, I don't think that's best for us right now.

I'm not sure another hot head "elite" type manager is what we really need and do genuinely think a Slot type manager would be perfect, someone with a good philosophy, can put an arm around the players at the right time and build something with some very good young players mind you, maybe that's what we need right now.

I don't think the top tier managers out there will ever work under Levy, we've tried 2 in a row and both have failed mostly.

We need a new Martin Jol, a new Poch, just someone to come in and at the very least get the fans back singing in our own fucking stadium and making it intimidating again.

 

[mdharris]

Kompany is a no for me. If he does well, he’d leave to City within a few years, and the speculation would be endless until then.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Hope the manager search is tied up by the end of May.

If you go off past history, then end of May will be an absolute miracle

 

[the yid]

Don't know why that bothers you. He'll be sacked within a year

in the slot thread

Seems to me the club is putting out slots name to start building his profile with spurs fans. We’ve had itks from 3 different sites hinting at slot plus journos and podcasts building him up like the recent football ramble. Trix & A&C also both posted they had changed their vote to slot yesterday. Seems to be gathering momentum but without any really direct links, possibly he doesn’t want to disrupt his title run in so instead spurs are just trying to build him up behind the scenes so it doesn’t seem out of the blue when they announce later on.

 

[PLTuck]

Never heard of Slot before 2 days ago and still know nothing about him but if he's not our manager by 31st May I'm rioting.

It's the SC effect.

 

[HedgieSpur]

All fair points and I’d prefer all the names you mentioned just not sure how gettable most of them are so Kompany would be a next best

Ah ok...I agree that if we can't get any of the others we should be looking at potential rising stars like Kompany et al.

 

[HedgieSpur]

I don't know about that buddy. I used to think the same as you having not done any research, but after being linked, I read about his time in Anderlecht. It wasn't bad.
He took a club under massive financial pressure, and made them somewhat competitive. They were worse before he came, and after he left.
Not saying he's the right man, does anyone actually watch Burnley, but I'm warming to the dude.

I was deliberately careful with my words to say he did "relatively poorly". I saw a couple of the games and they didn't play with the attacking verve that Burnley are currently. The context you've given is also very valid because Anderlecht have really fallen on hard times and are nowhere near the powerhouse within Belgium that they once were. All that said, imo its under tough conditions that those with real potential shine brightest....

Yup. Big name/profile managers want to be consistently challenging for silverware. That's never going to happen at us with under Levy so wasting their/our time.

So might as well get someone in who is younger, lower profile who looks at the job as a stepping stone and a chance to enhance his reputation. Hopefully gets has us playing some good stuff for a while before ultimately the same old limitations come into play, it goes pear shaped, he leaves and we are back at square one.

I'd rather Barry Scott.

 

[theShiznit]

I'd rather Barry Scott.

At least he'd go out with a bang

 

[felmani26]

Kompany is a no for me. If he does well, he’d leave to City within a few years, and the speculation would be endless until then.

I'd imagine they'd turn their attention to Arteta before anyone else.

 

[Hoopspur]

Kompany is a no for me. If he does well, he’d leave to City within a few years, and the speculation would be endless until then.

If he does well then then he wouldn’t need to leave for City. He would also be a King at Spurs.

Really doesn't bother me. The average shelf-life of a PL manager is 2-3 years anyway. At the moment we just need to turn the ship around, not to worry about destinations in the distant future.
