... and HULK obviously.
On the plus side, atleast Villas Boas can speak English already.

Im still don't understand why anyone would want a manager over 65 (eg. Capello). Stability breeds success. Changing a manager every 2 years doesn't and thats what will happen if we end up getting a manager in his late 60's!!

I'd like to see an ex-Spur managing when Harry goes, even if they haven't managed a side previously.
Clive Allen or Steve Perryman perhaps.

How has Villas-Boas eclipsed Jose? Do you just mean in the league? I don't know anything about the guy, but Jose won the UEFA cup & the Champions league at Porto so anyone who can match that has to be pretty special. BTW - I'm not having a dig, I'm just interested in what this new guy has achieved.

Depending on how long 'Arry is with us...I think there is a good chance it will be Sherwood.
Don't really know what to think of that ifit happens.
Never managed anywhere so may be great, may be awful.
May be I'm wrong.

Can't see it myself. I think Levy will want a name.
There are 2 ways of going.
The obvious is an established name - Mourinho, Van Gaal, Hiddink. This brings lots of pressure to constantly finish top 4. And rightly so.
The other option, if those 3 are unattainable, is a younger, up & coming man - Coyle, Moyes, Hughes. If we go for one of those I think we, as fans, are going to have to give them time to bed in. Can we expect them to come in and overtake the big 3 plus City? Especially in a years time when they've spent another gazillion?
Personally I like Coyle; he's done extremely well at Burnley and now Bolton. Don't forget Bolton were bottom 3 when he came in and they're top 7 or 8 now. Players seem to like him & want to play for him. A big, big step up for him but I prefer his type of football to that of Moyes. And Hughes has had an up & down career so far.

If needs to be a manager who has been there and done that, simply so he can come in following Redkanpp and make his presence felt. If we sign a manager like Coyle/Moyes/Bruce, the players (such as VdV) wouldn't respect him.
Needs to be a step up from Harry.
If Jose doesn't fancy it then, Van Gaal, Hiddink or Ancelotti if he's looking for a job.

The only established big name foreigner I'd want is Mourinho, the rest would see us fail imo.
I think Redknapp should go this summer purely becuase he wants to be England manager and the distraction this will cause next season will be bad for Spurs. Some of his comments lately have been less than inspirational part of me think he is no longer committed to the Spurs cause.

He might be leaving Bayern but do you really expect a manager of his calibre to be out of work for long? Remember we probably won't be looking for a new manager until Harry goes to manager england in the summer of 2012.
That's why I say let Harry go in the summer best for both parties. Just imagine all next season everytime Harry's is interviewd it will be, are you interested in the England and him basically say wouldnt any englishman be interested.
Also Harry's body language lately is has been non inspirational.

Believe me Harry has been thinking long and hard about next season and the England situation.
I bet he's asked himself the question would he be fully motivated at Tottenham next season if he knows he's getting the England job.
He made that remark about being flavour of the month again on Goals on Sunday. To me it was almost like he was saying that he would have to keep doing well at Spurs next season to be in the frame...He used Roy Hodgson as an example of how things can change in a year.

I hope so personally I would love Harry to turn around and sign a new 2 year contract extending his contract but he got his heart set on England.
Me personally think its a bad move for Harry.

He'll go next season, but as long as he doesn't take his eye off the ball with us until he goes - then I will wish him the best.
In terms of a bad move - he'll probably do a bit better but I'll be surprised if its anything ground breaking.
He'll get them up for it all right, nothing you can do when there is a lack of technical ability at that level. We dont keep the ball well enough.
Next WC is in Brazil too....might as well not turn up IMO.
