The Manager Search 2: Search Harder

If this falls apart now we should all block every journalist out there. Especially the Italian ones.

How about Harry Redknapp?

 

[Harryson]

but if he saw that we were a basket case with no hope of winning anything in the summer - what has he seen to change his mind?

I believe that was never the case.

It was more he wants to win things and very quickly and for that he wants backing to buy players he wants. Whatever he demanded was too much for Levy so we ended up with Nuno who was happy just to be in a job.

Hope United don't come sniffing around Conte if we get him and Ole get sacks shortly after. Not sure i would trust Conte to honour his contract, hope i'm wrong. That being said i be buzzing if we get him.

Theyre not sacking Ole until they have to. We just saved him for another 6 months at least.

18 months?! Sends out the wrong message

18 months for Conte to put the fear of god into the squad then someone cheaper can take over...

Looks like we are getting the wigged wonder

I don't think people appreciate what a top manager does to a squad. Look at Brighton under Potter. Look what Klopp did to LIverpool. Yes you need quality players, but Spurs certainly have enough to do more than we are.

No reason this squad can't go for top 4 under Conte this season and push on further next season with some smart hires in the right places.

Completely agree mate, it sounds obvious but it’s the most important role at the club by a mile which is why it’s so annoying Levy has made so many shit choices over the years.

The right manager as we saw with Poch can be absolutely transformative.

Yes the squad needs work and if we got Conte I’d expect us to do some serious business in Jan and summer but as you say I think people underestimate just how much of a difference a good manger can make.

Watch him turn Bergwijn into a right footed Roberto Carlos.

And then watch half of Spurs Community saying "if only he had a left foot".

Di Marzio is the main man right?

 

[hellava_tough]

We need Conte, no one else, and Levy just needs to say "yes sir". Conte walks into that dressing room and balls will drop.

That would be classic Levy.

There's an emergency and he'd just happen to find £200m to fix the problem.

He's so tight...

(if it happens )

I genuinely didn't think Conte was an option. Be glad to be proved wrong!

 

[defoes5]

Tuchel at chelsea was 18 months…

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Doesn't say when in 2023. Could be as short as 14 months and as long as 25 months and still be 2023. I would imagine it's a 2 year contract and if all goes well we'll extend it next summer to a few more years.

It will of course be until the end of the 2022-23 season.

 

[onthetwo]

Think he wanted various promises that we weren't willing to provide him with. Now Levy's obviously panicking. The stadium was really toxic on Saturday, he needs to act drastically and get a Conte in, it's the only thing that might save him.

im guessing that Romero, Royal and Kane being at the club this season also make the extent of the rebuild less extreme/expensive than when we spoke to him in the summer.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Been in meetings all morning. Can someone break down what’s happening so far today. Any useful ITK etc?

 

[TOLBINY]

For the likes of Tanguay and Lo Celso this will the their 5th manager in just over two years at the club (Poch, Jose, Mason, Nuno & ?) Crazy!

Probably Conte didn't want a long term contract tbh. And tbh Conte wont last longer than 3 seasons, absolute max.

 

[Scott Spur]

Brize Norton? The RAF base?

Well we know Conte is a bit volatile, best be cautious
