Next spurs manager?

[ThorntonSpur]

OOPS

SORRY GUYS got my dates totally wrong :duh:and Im sneaking on here whilst at work - just got made redundant on friday as well sob sob I know but no excuse feel free to neg rep totally got it wrong mg:

 

[Matt C]

Can people please explain why they want Mourinho? His Chelsea team was the most boring machine I've seen.

2 champions leagues, countless domestic trophies maybe ?

 

[Matt C]

You really think Levy is going to give the job to someone who has no coaching experience whatsoever?

I think Beckham will be a great future manager, he would not be able to give Braveheart style speeches but he would inspire those around him and I think he would be a good tactician

The chest beating players like Adams, Keane, Ince and so on have been shit managers

 

[StartingPrice]

mourinho, guardiola = unrealistic

Not sure i agree with you. IF we are still kicking around in the champions league i think Pep would quite like the challange of the prem league and may fancy, with the players we have, recreating some of the success he has had a barca .
but that is a big IF.

Not sure Jose would come though, think he will be back at chelsea soon or maybe UTD if red nose ever retires.

THIS
But everyone thinks Mourinho is unrealistic and a nailed on certainty for United...I agree with neither assumption. He has built his rep on taking teams who are there or thereabouts, often famous teams who have been through a period of eclipse, and making them winners. Even Real have been eclipsed by Barca recently. On that basis we would seem to fit the bill. And he has intimated that he was a 'fan', if not a 'supporter' when he was a kid. United, on the other hand, have just been through a mammoth period of domination, and financially and in terms of playing staff are due a transitionary period - it is the definitive poisoned-chalice. He may just see that as a challenge in itself, but he may also leave that one to someone with less discretion to fall down in first.
I think it is more likely that he will stay at Real for an epic struggle overturning Barca than replace Fergie any time soon.

He almost invariably wins major trophies:shrug:

For me I want someone English, someone with passion and fire, someone with tactical nous and someone who is a good man manager.

So basically Ian Holloway.

:rofl: You've just got used to colourful press-conferences:wink:

Have you been smoking something not quite legal?

Braveheart style speeches? Have you ever heard Beckham speak? So you want a manager with no coaching expewrience to make rosuing speeches while sounding like a cross between Orville the duck and Del-Boy?

Very inspiring.

I don't see Jose at Madrid for more than two seasons....especially when one considers that they are second best to Barca. I'm not saying he will resign, but the people at Real are so impatient that I can see them pulling the plug on him.

But going from Real to Man U is very much like for like. Top side with good players. I don't think its a good enough challenge for him. I think if he comes back he wants a Porto....someone he can make good again and bring in a title or two. We fit the bill perfectly IMO, and what's more we can afford his wages.

i agree but is our ground too small for him? a selling ponit would ahve to be a commitment to a bigger ground.

Then I accept. No neg rep needed.

Sorry to hear your news. Good luck with the job hunt. However, if you've been made redundent I wouldn't sneak on to website - screw them. Watch porn.

Since when did ground size matter?

If he sees as as a potential title winning side that surely is the draw,

Perhaps I didn't express that clearly enough. Of course, if he doesn't overhaul Barca their board and fans will be on his back and may well get rid. I was thinking more about 'in his own mind'. In his own mind, I think he would rather stay at Real determined to overhaul Braca than move to a poisoned chalice United. Just depends on how successful he is against Barca, and in what timeframe.
If the former is not feasible (i.e. if he is sacked), and the latter not really as much of a Mourinho move as some seem to think, and we are in the market for a manager at the same time, yeah, I think him coming to us would be feasible.
And, yes, I was alluding to Porto as a na analogy, even though I didn't state it.
Porto - formerly a fairly big hitter in Europe, and not doing as well as they should have been in their domestic league.
Chelsea - owner pumping money into club, but with Behemoth to overturn in United, and not won anything to match owners ambitions
Inter - see Porto, but on bigger scale.
Real - see Porto and Inter, but on a gargantuan scale.
United - :think: Ageing squad, financial difficulties predicted, very lengthy period of dominance expected to continue. Can't see that as matching the pattern.

Beckham would not be able to inspire players with his oratory skill but he would be able to inspire them by his presence and tactics on the training ground, being coached by the greatest player of his generation would bring out the best in particularly young English players who grew up watching Beckham

Beckham also sees the importance in youth hence his football schools so Beckham would bring along young players etc

If he chooses management then I think Beckham will in time be a brilliant manager

So basically you are saying all Beckham has to do is show up at training and bam, title winning side right there?

Get him in now!!

 

[brett.spurs]

Jose will never happen, when he does leave Madrid it'll be for one of the Manchester jobs.

No not saying that, you are just being pedantic, I would love to see him as an assistant at Spurs under whoever replaces Harry and then when they move on if he is still highly regarded then take over from the experienced manager.

Mourinho/Van Gaal/(insert manager here) as manager with Beckham as assistant manager groomed to take over would work

Beckham has no desire to move into football management, he is more interested in his academies.

Gus Hiddink pls

Thank you

 

[Chilli]

:rofl: lol at some of the names being banded around this thread.

Way to early to be speculating all this.

 

[kungfugrip]

Coyle, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Hiddink would all do for me. Coyle probably the easiest to get, and more likely to stick around five or more years than the others. I also like how he conducts himself.

 

[Misfit]

See how Klopp goes for a little while longer at Dortmund maybe? Deschamps wants to manage in the premiership, speaks the lingo (wiz an outraaageuss French accent) and is going for his second league title in a row.

Two possibilities who aren't in Jose dreamland or sink to the depths of hell and depression of Moyes or Coyle.
