Next Manager Watch

Big Ange to be offered a contract early this week ... watch this space

[A Bit Much]

Update 4-0 up, 78% possssion 18 shots to Aberdeen’s 22% and still 0 shots!!!

I know there is a big gap in the league but to limit any team to 0 shots and 24% possession is still very impressive and if anyone watches Celtic regularly or knows about Big Ange you’ll know he plays a really similar style to Pep, we’d love it here.

I don’t think we’ll be able to get him but for me he and JN are easily the next best 2 after Slot and if the board knew what they were doing and it was possible to get either they’d pivot and go and get one of them done asap.

We've shown regularly over recent years it's possible to struggle against really poor opposition, so some credit to anyone who wins regularly with style points.

I have no idea whether Postecoglou would do well in the PL.

But I think it's very hard to use the SPL as any sort of barometer. Lennon won about ten trophies with Celtic and most recently got sacked from a club in Cyprus.

I don't want Rodgers, but he has a better managerial CV than both Lennon and Postecoglou. I repeat, I don't want Rodgers.

He has done a really good job at Celtic and they are a big club he turned them around - he has changed the whole culture at the club - what he has done up there is really impressive and they in terms of where the club were aren't that dissimilar to where Tottenham are now - he would be an excellent choice as a manager his personality and leadership unites people and his mantra 'we never stop' is ingrained up there now - of all names pushed around he is the one who could cope most with the situation and turn it round

Pretty much every team we played this year did this to us. It’s because Aberdeen are shite, they’d struggle to get out of league 2 in England.

Spurs? Celtic? He’s on a 12 month rolling contact so he’s going to get a contract from someone.

 

[dontcallme]

After reading up on Slot, my conclusion was he was an excellent fit for us. This wasn't based on any first hand knowledge, just my flawed analysis with the limited info I have.

If we hire a manager who has been in the Prem where I know more about the football they play and their personality, I might have a stronger opinion.

From here, I'm just going to sit back and wait to see who we hire. This search appears to be all over the place.

Check the Twitter thread I shared last night. An absolute takedown of a well known journalists spurs coverage

Didn’t see that. Have you got a link?

 

[daveduvet]

That’s it, I knew it was something like that.

Just double checked and it’s a Masters degree in Leadership & Emotional intelligence… would scare the heck of levy & the board!

 

[septicsac]

Like big Ange and his style of football, but it is a worry coming from the Scottish league, it's virtually a two horse race.

The same ish group of players with the addition of Mitoma and Caicedo who as per Brighton's business model had both been out on loan the season before having arrived the previous summer. Also with the addition of Ferguson and the coming of age of Mac Allister.
I think they are game changing additions compared to Maupay and Trossard. Di Zerbi, good as he may be, got lucky with his timing taking over a side brought to the brink by Potter.

Fair points but still don’t rate him.

If you were to combine Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, St Johnstone, Motherwell, St Mirren, Ross County, Livingston, Kilmarnock and Dundee Utd's total transfer spend it would be less than what Celtic spent this season. If you add Rangers to the list it's still less than what Celtic spent. Celtic has outspent the rest of the Scottish Premiership combined. Kinda easy to turn a club around when you can massively outspend everyone else.

Who Spurs fans would probably settle for now

Who our chairman is capable of signing now:

I'm not saying you're wrong, but how many horses in the race Nagelsmann was just in?

 

[DJS]

We can never predict the future but I feel we would certainly not be in the position we are today

We’d have still shipped shitloads of goals with our current defenders but would have been a lot better to watch!

I was bit bored and started looking at European clubs where if there are some really good managerial stories....

Came across Monza managed ex Juve player Raffaele Palladino

Monza - a team who been in serie B for 40 years without getting promoted, got promoted to Serie A this season.
Lost first games & was dead cert to be relegated. Palladino was U19 coach, who was then promoted to manage Monza after their manager was sacked after 6 games.

What has happened since then , just truly remarkable....

Palladiono won over Juve , Monza's first serie A win right after he took over

Monza since his appointment have
a) won over Juve home & away. Beat Napoli 2-0 at home, Beat Inter away. Drew with Roma & Milan
b) won 14 games & 10 draws, Since Nov22, of the 22 games, they lost just 3 (includes one each to Milan & Lazio)

Last 8 games unbeaten

He plays 3-4-2-1, regards Gasperini as his mentor (played under him for 3 yrs).

No one gave them hope start of season, now they are 8th in table.

He is now being linked to Atalanta & Juve job.

May be he is just one season wonder. Probably too early for job in PL. May be someone to keep an eye for future.

But I would rather prefer a candidate like this than some of the candidates we have been currently linked with.

I think you vastly under estimate what he has done up there you need to understand the atmosphere around the club when he arrived and compare it to what it is now night and day and that's down almost entirely down to his management and charisma - its certainly not easy to do what he has done

and for that matter Slot

I have to be honest and say I’m surprised that people are still signing up for season tickets. That’s not a dig to those that have at all, however there is no way in a million years I would even think about getting a ST at the minute.

The last thing I want to do is line the pockets of Levy anymore. All the time the stadium is full he does not care one single bit as he will be checking the bank balance and smiling.

The top of this club is rotten, full of people who care not about fans, the football, winning or glory. The only thing they care about is how much money they will end up with at the end of it all. That has been blatantly obvious from the moment they have walked in to the club. We are basically a glorified development business, hotels, concert stadium etc.

The focus is not football, it’s “entertainment and development”. Until that changes we are totally done as a football club.

Liverpool, United and Chelsea are all developing their grounds, and I believe Everton are building a new one. We are just one step ahead in that process. Those clubs are not collectively going to be spending billions on redevelopment just so more fans can watch a game of football are they?

There is a waiting list for season tickets at Spurs so the idea that people voting down Levy by not renewing their season tickets is futile, a fact that is possibly true of any PL club irrespective of their success on the pitch.

Clubs outside the top four, five or six are unlikely to win any silverware yet they sell out every (almost) game?

Brighton as one example, have proven that spending money equals success is simply not the answer, a successful club comes about because of a squad of dedicated professionals, trained and skilled tactically and in a system that suits the number of it's parts.

Levy's biggest issue (and that partly goes for Paratici and beyond him to Hitchen with players) is hiring the wrong manager, buying the wrong players, and not promoting from within, talent that we obviously have.

Levy's focus for whatever any of us think, is to generate revenue streams for the club to invest on the football club's recruitment.

I do not agree with the amount of control Levy appears to have within the club, and it looks like he is dissolving some of that but at the end of the day the one thing I'd like to see is a manager given a long term contract (five years for example) and given the infrastructure to help create a culture within the club geared for success.

Short term managers are for relegation threatened teams striving to avoid the drop, not a club vying for silverware.
