If JN is our top target and is happy to come I could see this moving pretty quickly, more so then with Slot who I think we wouldn’t tie down until summer.Things seem to have moved significantly this morning ....:

I’m a funeral Celebrant, we should start our own thread…. Supporting spurs is like an ongoing slow lingering death!I worked as a funeral director for 4 years and this couldn’t be a more accurate statement
It’s like dealing with an awkward family that change their mind every 10 minutes about what they want to do, they then spring random requests on you on the day of the funeral like can the family dog page out with me, then the flowers that turn up aren’t the ones they ordered and the ones from the ex husband aren’t allowed on the hearse so you have to ask the bearers to bring them along, a giant bird shits on the bonnet of the hearse as I’m paging out, the crematorium play the wrong music and close the curtains when they asked for them to be left open and then Grandma Doris trips over some flowers in the flower court and has to be taken to hospital with a concussion.I’m a funeral Celebrant, we should start our own thread….

Feel your pains, especially the last minute requests as I pull up ready to do the service!It’s like dealing with an awkward family that change their mind every 10 minutes about what they want to do, they then spring random requests on you on the day of the funeral like can the family dog page out with me, then the flowers that turn up aren’t the ones they ordered and the ones from the ex husband aren’t allowed on the hearse so you have to ask the bearers to bring them along, a giant bird shits on the bonnet of the hearse as I’m paging out, the crematorium play the wrong music and close the curtains when they asked for them to be left open and then Grandma Doris trips over some flowers in the flower court and has to be taken to hospital with a concussion.
In case you’re wondering, every single one of these things has actually happened to me on a funeral
To follow on from this, you have to look at where Mourinho and Conte were in their respective managerial careers when they took the Tottenham job to where Nagelsmann is and the circumstances surrounding his Bayern departure.Not sure why some think Nagelsmann would be doing us a favour if he was appointed. I think many have been burned by Jose and Conte, so think a big name like Nagelsmann would be similar, but I'm not so sure. This is what he said before we played Leipzig a few years ago.
"Tottenham is a very nice and exciting tie!" he told Leipzig's social media channel. "They're one of Europe's top teams, playing in a fantastic city with star players who have a lot of experience. It won't be easy but we're really looking forward to it, especially playing in that stadium.
"Spurs have a world-class manager in Jose Mourinho. The games will be exciting and we'll need to put in two top performances. We're more than capable of doing that. What a tie! We can't wait!"
He also conducted a sit down interview with The Independent prior to the same match and said:
Nagelsmann admits he has been viewing Tottenham matches “since Mauricio Pochettino was there. He is a really good manager and his team was great to look at as a spectator.
“I have seen many Spurs games, but I haven’t been watching them with the purpose of analysis for our preparation, because we have had so much to deal with first.”
Meet the manager your club wants to hire
The RB Leipzig boss sits down with Melissa Reddy to discuss turning down Real Madrid, interest from the Premier League and trying to outwit Jose Mourinhowww.independent.co.uk
Doesn't come across as arrogant at all, and sounds very level headed and thoughtful. I think he made the step up to Bayern a bit too early in his career. I think he will be different to Conte, in fact the Bayern experience of big egos and politics might work in our favour.
I work at a cemetery in West London and none of what you said seemed made up haha.It’s like dealing with an awkward family that change their mind every 10 minutes about what they want to do, they then spring random requests on you on the day of the funeral like can the family dog page out with me, then the flowers that turn up aren’t the ones they ordered and the ones from the ex husband aren’t allowed on the hearse so you have to ask the bearers to bring them along, a giant bird shits on the bonnet of the hearse as I’m paging out, the crematorium play the wrong music and close the curtains when they asked for them to be left open and then Grandma Doris trips over some flowers in the flower court and has to be taken to hospital with a concussion.

It’s honestly such an eventful industry. I bet dealing with multiple FD’s a day you hear all sorts of hilarious things mateI work at a cemetery in West London and none of what you said seemed made up haha.
I get what you mean, but, the state our club is in, anyone of sound mind would be doing us a favour. So, go for the best we can.Maybe I’m just feeling a bit battered by football recently but I feel that JN would feel like he’s doing us a favour. And, tbh, I’m kinda sick of those sort of managers!
I rate Ange but if Chelsea end up with him after missing out on/turning their noses up at Nagelsmann, Enrique and Poch their fans will be rioting.The secret third manager left on Chelsea’s list is apparently Ange Postecoglou according to The Guardian
He said, ruefully, as he noticed the gaping hole in the anti-shark cage...I promised myself I'd never let myself get hurt again...
Would love that, mainly because when Munn came in I thought id put a little one on Ange coming in, turns out I put it on Chelsea.The secret third manager left on Chelsea’s list is apparently Ange Postecoglou according to The Guardian
Great stuff, wanna take that to the Chelsea thread?The secret third manager left on Chelsea’s list is apparently Ange Postecoglou according to The Guardian
