Next Spurs Manager (No longer with groundbreaking 'Change vote' functionality)

[TheRevolution]

Get Jose before Arsenal sack Emery

 

[Japhet]

Turning your nose up at winning trophies because of the managers personality/tactics.

Do you not think fans paying some of the highest ticket prices in football, after winning a measly 1 league cup this century, for a club of our size, we deserve some success?

I think appointing Mourinho has an equal chance of being an epic clusterfuck. You think it's 100% guaranteed winner. Different opinions. I can live with it.

To be honest...as long as whoever it may be (replacement manager) is able to address the media and fans and make sense.. his got my vote. with all the good that Poch has done for my club, l find it very hard to follow him in the Media I just cant connect with him. That quote " I might leave the club should I win the CL" What shit was that. Also don't we have a Communications Director who sits beside Poch in all media interviews, his position should definitely be under consideration.

If winning the Premier League, Europa League, and League cup is what you consider a mental breakdown and a mess, then sign me up.

Dismissing him is madness.

If he is so wonderful (still) why isn’t he still the manager of Chelsea or Man United ?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Swap manager with ManUtd, go on a OGS optimism high for the rest of the season, and see what permanent options there are in May.

My worry is we go for ‘the next Klopp’ which is what the latest fad seems to be.

People absolutely wanking themselves silly over the Leipzig and Gladbach bosses. The likelihood of them being the next Klopp are very small.

I really think we need an established winner. No pissing about, proper trophies already under his belt and someone who commands respect off of 95% of the players he coaches.

Just know it’s going to be another project though.

I don’t think people have the idea that they’re going to be the next klopp, they probably see that these managers are doing well with their teams playing fast attacking football then look at us and see a team struggling to score and make bottom of the table team look like decent side

I am so torn on the direction we should take. It seems inevitable that Poch is on his way out. When results and performances are bad for such a long period it is rare for a manager to turn it around.

Mourinho is an intelligent man and I believe he would only take the job,and Levy would only appoint him, if they had a full discussion beforehand on our finances and way the club would be run before taking the job. Both men are pragmatists so I can't see Jose taking the job on empty promises.

Mourinho has been successful at every club he has been at. As far as European competition is concerned he has punched above his weight and won trophies with players not as good as their competition.

There are some interesting managers out there more in the Poch mould. Young, up and comers at smaller clubs who would love the opportunity to manage a top 6 Prem club. Naturally there is a risk and the more I think about it the more I move towards the Jose appointment.

Poch has shown us so much loyalty, I want to show him the same respect.

I think you can show a person respect without giving him a job.

If Poch has lost the dressing room and isn't the right man to take us forward then we have to fire him. We can do so in a respectful way.

Yes dear poch you are being relieved of your duties because we can't buy a win and you and the team have gone to shit that should do it.

This squad is made for Mourinho. Extremely experienced CBs, and he'll play a low block to get the best out of them.

One of the best CFs in world football entering his prime

Powerful midfield options.

Pace in Son and Lucas, flanking Kane for counter attacking football.

He's got the finished articles for most positions. He doesn't need hundreds of millions.

Two quality full backs being the most urgent area to address.

But Mourinho would indentify a strong spine immediately and play to their strengths.

And that's before we even consider his tactical ability and experience, and the instant respect he'd command.

He's a huge name in football and he'd win us trophies, I'm sure of if.

He's grown on me in his punditry role, become more likeable and the break from management could get his hunger back and we could benefit.

Seige mentality at Tottenham, love it.

The players need to show a bit of respect, not just to Poch but to the fans as well. It's on Poch that he keeps picking players who look like they can't be arsed though.

Good points.

I think the potential downside to Jose would be he would be divisive to fans as many wouldn't want him from the beginning. He also doesn't have much of a track record for bringing long term success.

But neither of those factors are deal breakers for me.

I was in that camp of dismissing his name instantly but the more I think about it the more he makes sense.

I don't want another project manager despite Poch doing so well, I want to see if a top manager can win something with this group, because they're good enough.

People talk like Jan and Toby are late 30s, they're in their prime still.

I honestly think Mourinho could have them all feeling like they're a foot taller, and more importantly playing in a way they're comfortable with and all believe in.

We start winning the big matches, away from home as well, the doubters would soon change their tune.

 

[Metalhead]

Don’t be ridiculous. Graham was a gooner ****. Mourinho is just a ****.

Huge huge difference

GG still remains one of a handful of managers to have won us a trophy though.

I don't personally prefer Mourinho, but you are making a strong case. And yes I agree, our assumed best 11 players could be a fit. If Mourinho, I'd expect Dier to be back in the starting line up.

I agree.

Unfortunately I think Alderweireld is out at the end of the season. But if the offers don't come in and Mourinho gets us winning TA might just make his last big contract with us.

As far as I am concerned Kane, Son, Alderweireld and Vertonghen are our best players. They are all now in their prime. Mourinho is perfect for players in their prime.

The more I think about it the more I think he is right for us. Providing him and Levy ae in agreement with regards to our financial capabilities.

Edit: much like Alderweireld we might even get Eriksen performing again and signing a contract if no better offers come in.

 

[Metalhead]

Thing is though, in all this, the most important thing is: what is Daniel Levy thinking? We can debate it from now until next January but we don't really have a clue what his mindset is. I still think that DL is hugely reluctant to give up on Poch. I know that many cannot see where an upturn in fortune is coming from and it is hard not to empathise with that. If we get an absolute thumping from Liverpool and another bad performance then it might end up being the straw that broke the camel's back but otherwise I just have a feeling that DL will be tempted to stick with Poch for now.

 

[dontcallme]

GG still remains one of a handful of managers to have won us a trophy though.

True but the last two managers we had were fired the next season.

A trophy is nice but can't save a manager who is overall doing a poor job.

 

[Japhet]

I agree.

Slight fly in the ointment there.
