Next Manager Watch

[felmani26]

Agree, but I'm not sure we're a big enough step for RDZ, I think he'd set his sights on a club who could seriously challenge, or have the ambition to, and I think those clubs are probably looking at him seriously.

Yes I wasn't necessarily advocating De Zerbi to us and I do think it's important we employ our next manager without any previous Premier League baggage personally.

It was more challenging the notion that why would he wish to leave Brighton - I doubt he's anyone's fool De Zerbi and the name of the game is to climb the managerial ladder to clubs with better status and/or getting paid well, striking when the iron's hot because you can quickly become yesterday's man sooner than you think.

Again I’m really surprised how few votes De Zerbi has got in comparison to Slot. I can completely understand Poch and Nagelsmann getting the majority but 200 + for Slot and only 80 for De Zerbi does surprises me somewhat especially considering I would guess the majority of people will have probably watched more of RDZ, not only that he has also displayed his tactics work well in the PL.

For me the only two clear choices were Nagelsmann and Gallardo. They are just on another level compared to everyone else we have been linked to and I think it’s really disappointing that we aren’t getting one of them especially as both are available. But after that I kind of feel the rest are more on an equal level.

I like Slot, I think he is certainly an intriguing prospect who is doing a great job with Feyernood. But I’m not sure I’d put him above RDZ. Not that he is a clear choice ether.

Maybe it’s because Slot is more attainable or maybe it’s because ITK have said that he is one of the favourites. Maybe Potters time at Chelsea and how well set up Brighton are has made people cautious. But ether way I guess I’m just surprised RDZ doesn’t get more love when to me he does seem one of the better candidates of the rest of the list.

They’re really not better placed for success than us. Their best players, coaches, back room staff etc.. will continually be poached. As impressive as their structure is there is a glass ceiling with these teams that doesn’t exist to the same extent with us.

That's very dismissive. I wish we had Brighton's structure and honestly, one could say that Spurs will always have to contend with Levy's interference as a response to why we won't see such an effective structure in place here at Spurs. Brighton have proven that they can deal with losing their best players, coaches and back room staff - only thing we've proven is that can we underachieve with Conte and Mourinho at the helm.

No reason for it not to be enormous. There is enough money coming in and we need to spend wisely but we need a lot of new players.

Are we sure we can sell the likes of Winks, Ndombele, Gil, Rodon and Lo Celso? Also should sell either Dier,Tanganga or Sanches..

Might not even be about the money we want to spend, but more what we can spend. I fear it will be that Slot will have to work with them as Daniel seee that as an easier option, hence why Slot is the best option for Daniel.

We are not getting De Zerbi, no way he leaves Brighton to take a step down to us

Fair point. But they’re currently doing things that undermine bigger clubs - eg, us. We need to adopt their upward trend and apply it. It’s a given we’re “bigger” than Brighton & Brentford, but there’s a mis-calculation as to how we can apply it in an upward trajectory. Unless Levy & co adjust their position we’ll be the almost beens

 

[Mr Pink]

Why would De Zerbi risk coming here to work under vastly different conditions ie under Levy....?

He might not achieve more with Brighton bull he'll be advised to wait for the big fish who actually mean business.

That isn't us.

Fuck me when is this going to sick in with people lol

 

[Chris Flynn]

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if half the people talking Slot up are only doing it because they’ve got money on him

I’m just dealing with facts. They are never going to be able to match us or any of the top 6 for wages or prestige for one so they will always have to sell their best players. As has been proven by clubs who had similar models in the past - Southampton, Swansea, and Leicester to an extent - as good as their scouting is they simply won’t be able to maintain the success rate to replace the talent that gets poached.

Can still get 5s on slot

Not that i really care if we get De Zerbi as i also think the setup at Brighton has more to do with their success. but in regards to why he would leave? The masive bump in GBP would be my guess

Does make me chuckle how many people slag off Levy/the board for being reactionary. Then you get a tonne of people desperate to appoint flavour of the month De Zerbi.

Now I’m not saying their the same people, but it would definitely be reactionary to go for the Brighton manager.

He seems a good coach, but so did Potter, and I’m not sure how much of it is the coach and how much of it is the Brighton set up.

Truth is we need to develop our own setup and bring in our own succession of coaches who work within it well.

If that’s Slot, De Zerbi, Mason or whoever we need to refine and reastablish our own identity.

I am not sure that is true.

Consider where we would be without Harry Kane. I don't think we have done much as a club to deserve to be amongst the top-4, outside of having the good fortune to have Kane come through the academy.

We have consistently failed to kick on when we have been close - and so I expect when Kane is gone, we will consistently fail to kick on any time we get close to top-4 again.

Announce Kane Player-Manager

Yes mate, buy maybe he gets better offers elsewhere..in terms of money and the working conditions

It was De Zerbi “out” last week when Everton hammered Brighton.

The one thing that definitely stands out with De Zerbi is his passion on the sidelines.

That's bound to contribute and I'm fed up with motionless managers staring blankly on our bench half the time.

But yeah, it's hard to apportion percentages for coaching, Club structure etc when attempting to analyse it all.

 

[lobob8]

Why? Surely him winning the league with a team who hasn't won it since 1998

They did win the league in 2017 tbf

 

[HildoSpur]

De Zerbi is decent but I honestly think that it is more Brighton being run extremely well with brilliant structure in place rather than him being an amazing manager. I'd much rather have Slot personally as I think De Zerbi is a bit of an arse.

 

[Phil-spur99]

I don’t hate Mason and would like to see him stay involved in the first team coaching
