It looks a shambles because it is!One wonders how the optics around the club currently look to potential new "head coaches".

Complete absence of shite techno music, I'll be honest - I didn't know that was possible with one of these!
Or get him now, look at the shit show of squad and make plans for the summer?
Despite Spurs being my true love (sorry to the mrs) I follow Celtic also (due to family and my Irish roots etc).
This is the type of bloke I want in charge of my club....as well as being a good coach and playing good football, he's a decent guy.
After the last few years I really think he could be the type to galvanise the club/fan base and be a success.
(Although Nagelsmann would be my 1st choice).
Just one example I know of:That suggests you wouldn’t give them (women?) respect yourself. Unless you happen to know for a fact the players wouldn’t respect them?
Did the players all immediately respect Jol for everything he’d done in the game? unlikely…or did the players at Reims respect Will Still for being good on FM? No…the players respected these managers because of the way they spoke to them, treated them, engaged them, coached them, made them better. I hear the argument that “a non league manager shouldn’t get the Spurs job”, but i just don’t agree that women’s football is comparable to non league (Emma Hayes has been competing at the highest level of women’s football for years), and I think it could be transformative for a men’s team and culture.
As it goes I don’t want her as manager cos of the Chelsea link, and of course I’m not blind to the fact that perhaps it’s too big a leap, but you can say what you want, the tone of some of the messages was “not a woman”. Until that narrative changes and someone proves it can not only be “possible” but also a bloody good idea to give female managers jobs at mens clubs, football is inherently and institutionally sexist because you are not giving women a level playing field. That is fact, and it’s pretty bloody miserable.
It's why I wanted Feyenoord to be drawn against Utd to see how he fares against top British opposition and equally against ten Hag which will be the main comparison made.I still am concerned that Slot as promising as he looks has had very little experience in comparison to others. 4 years total and only a handful of games in European games over two seasons. By the time ETH came to the PL he had significantly more time under his belt, had worked in Germany alongside Pep and had almost taken Ajax to a CL final. Slot hasn't worked outside of Holland ether as a player or a manager. I wouldn't be against him, he does play very exciting football and I can certainly see the appeal but his overall lack of experience does concern me especially considering what a mess of a club we are currently. It's a shame Ajax are a bit of a mess at the moment as it would have been interesting see those two battle it out for the league. And as i've said those I'v talked to who actually live in holland and follow the game think he needs a little more time before moving although it is general conciseness he's very talented. It will be interesting to see how they get on against Rome in the next round. For me he would be on my list but I do feel it would be a little to soon for him, but I wouldn't be unhappy if it happened.
100%Hopefully not sounding too melodramatic but if you were advising Nagelsmann and you saw the news in the past week with Conte absolutely slamming the players and club in the press conference, you see what's happening with Paratici, Kane has a year left on deal, Sons form this season , Levy's reputation with managers etc would you really be advising him that this is the place to flourish and shake off the failed at Bayern tag?!?
Just can't see him actually thinking we're a good fit for him.

EDIT - just read the comments on that YouTube video to see the impact he's had on the club.
if I was coming Id be happy with no Europe to begin with..Clubs in a mess and looking worse publicly every day perisic injured. First team suffering so prob gonna drop down the European places. Which manager is going to commit without knowing what European comp we’re going to be in. If at all
Your first point: Tim Sherwood was a shit manager so let’s assume if you’re a Premier League winning captain, it’s inevitable that you’ll be a shit manager in the Premier League.Just one example I know of:
In Germany Imke Wübbenhorst, woman with UEFA pro license, got two jobs at a men team (Sportfreunde Lotte, BV Cloppenburg) in the 4th division.
The outcome was a spectacular failure with 0,6 and 0,7 points per game as an average and she was sacked after not even 20 matches at both clubs.
The theory is nice of giving female managers a job in mens football, but either the society is not there yet or there are other reasons. And our open job is certainly not the level to make these kind of experiments. Leading succesfully 25 footballers all earning millions of Euros isn't a job a lot can do. And even less for people who never played on a similiar level or have enough experience in a similiar dressing room.
Jason is getting paid $1 million per episode for season 3 so potentially a little out of our price range. However, we would probably recoup that in all sorts of after sales and entertainment, imagine Ted Lasso introducing some concerts and go karts.Fuck it, I'd be happy with Ted Lasso right now. He may know fuck all but it'd still be more fun than the last 3.

The big appeal at Chelsea is that they just hired Vivell as their new DoF who Nagelsmann worked well with at Leipzig. I could certainly see that as a very attractive proposition to both JN and Chelsea.Well still someone like Nagelsmann needs to think what his alternatives are.
Don't see him as a good fit for Paris, Madrid or Barcelona to work with big Egos.
Also he knows Tuchel very well, can't be that convinced to look for the Chelsea job. Manchester, Scum and Pool seem occupied, in Germany everything now is a clear step back and Italy would only work with a translator...
Of course football develops quickly and positions will come up, but can't see "the" perfect fit for him. So who knows...
