Go all out for Potter, if not then mabye Gerrard or Lopetgui.
Failing those give it to Parker, he knows the club and he gets his teams to play football, let him build something like Arteta is doing at Arsenal, it would need time but we have no choice right now, it needs a hard reset ideally with someone who understands the values of the club, he did well with a poor Fulham squad and he’s got Bournemouth top, I think we could do worse.
The longer it all goes on the more I DONT want Poch back. I don’t think it would work out.

Was just about to put his name out there!Bo Svensson
Mainz coach Bo Svensson boasts better record than Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel
Which coach has the best points per game average in charge of Mainz? If you answered Jürgen Klopp or Thomas Tuchel, you'd be wrong, because current boss Bo Svensson's record tops even those of his UEFA Champions League-winning predecessors.www.google.ca
I have watched a few mini games of Mainz and wow they move the ball well.
I think he has a big career ahead of him and is someone going balls deep for at seasons end.
Will need an interim solution first as Nuno wont last very long.

Honestly, this. A root and branch clear out is needs starting at the very top - Levy has done wonders off the pitch in taking the club to the top table of club football but he has made error upon error compounding one another for the last few years. The point at which he had taken us as far as he can passed years ago, expecting him to change now is pie in the sky
Paratici has been a disaster in his recruitment of Nuno and his signings (bar Romero) and his lack of signings (no striker, no central midfielder, another). The scouting has been laughable, we got where we were by signing young, malleable players who fit a profile and developed them but somewhere along the line we changed that approach to sign cast offs from clubs higher up the food chain than us and we wonder why they’re a load of old toss
Nuno never should’ve been considered for the job, the appointment left me stunned at the lack of ambition, and that ‘DNA’ statement has made us a laughing stock, it was clearly a horse shit sandwich served up to try and fool us fans after the ESL debacle. His selections and set up make AVB look like Ossie Ardilles by comparison, what they do in training in an attacking sense I have no clue because we have zero ideas, intensity, movement, creativity going forward. Set pieces aren’t even an avenue to generate goals, we never look like scoring from one and even today Romero had a certain goal denied by Ben Davies who was inexplicably playing at all!! His in game adjustment are laughable and/or non-existent, he just stands there like a rabbit in the headlights of Mack truck steaming towards him. 9 goals in 10 league games is an embarrassment and grounds for dismissal on its own
And of course the players, what a fall from grace we have witnessed from those halcyon days of peak Pochettino. Those still around from those squads are frankly shadows of their former selves (Son is, as always, the exception to the rule) - either run into the ground by laughable squad management and investment, lost their focus and intensity to improve from lack of competition caused by said laughable squad investment, or have long outstayed their purpose yet still found themselves in and around the first team picture (lack of squad investment and a refusal to sell players at realistic prices). Add in the pitiful scouting and transfer policy of signing cast offs from ‘better’ clubs it’s not hard to see why are in the mess we are in now. This group of entitled tossers saw Pochettino out the door, downed tools on Jose (admittedly, a prick) and couldn’t even win with the winningest coach in history, and you can see the same signs already in Nuno’s reign of player revolt. Entitled pricks with paper mache mentality, allowed to coast along getting paid handsomely without any real threat of being replaced in most cases, and if they don’t like the manger they can down tools and get him replaced. Rinse and repeat
So in summary, Nuno needs to go immediately but without addressing the plethora of other issues within the club the new manager is on a hiding to nothing

Agreed!
I can't see Poch having the hunger and patience to do this again.
We are going to be in the same position to when he first came in and the reason he lasted so long was because he was so determined and loved his time here.
The minute Levy does something to piss him off, he'll lose that determination and desire because everything will come flooding back.
We need something completely fresh.

Posit that idea to the rest of the footballing world and you'd get a very different perspective.
Brighton are ten times the club we are right now. They may not have the fanbase or the history, but they are a solid, tightly-knit, exciting side who are liked by pretty much everyone except Crystal Palace and whoever they happen to be facing next. The prospect of facing Brighton is no longer viewed as an easy three points. Far from it.
They have a manager who is rapidly building a fearsome reputation as a tactical and motivational expert and who the BBC only last week touted as a possibility as the next England manager (although that would be a step down for him in my view).
I said it in the summer and I'll say it again, Graham Potter is destined to manage a top side very very soon - in all probability his next job will be a top side.
And we are not a top side.
He isn't coming here.
Fonseca I agree with because he attacks but Howe is dreadful.I rate Ryan Mason above Howe.
Another defensive manager. Sorry won't work.

Not saying that I disagree. My thought was only what potentially can happen.
1. Soon out if job
2. Knows Paratici
3. Big name, which Levy’s commercial brain would love
Why is it OK to be abusive about a follicle challenged person ? I thought SC was an all inclusive site ?

We obviously had issues in the summer trying to recruit an elite-level, or even a top-level, coach.
Nothing's really changed, so I could see Levy going for Parker next.
Scotty seems to tick all the boxes; an ex-Spurs man, who would relish the chance at managing a high-profile club.
I'd certainly support Parker if he came in, but I don't think a young, relatively inexperienced coach who hasn't done anything extraordinary in football yet, should be managing one of the richest clubs in the world.
Levy needs to bite the bullet, put £200m to £300m aside for transfer funds and go and get an elite level coach in.
There are ways of spending that money to maximise profit and retain value, but ultimately the problems at the club aren't going to be cheap to fix.
The football world, especially the PL, has moved on in the last 10 years. The likes of Potter, etc, are getting paid really good money at smaller clubs, so there's not really a huge incentive to move to Spurs unless there's a genuinely interesting 'project' available, which is suitably resourced.
Levy is competing at the highest level with the big-boys now, not managing one of his dad's cut-price clothing outfits.
I wish he'd start acting like a competitive CEO at the top of their industry.
