Who do you want as manager?

[Deleted member 22380]

I'm torn between Moyes and AVB.

I have massive respect for Moyes given what he has a achieved at Everton and I'm very confident that with Moyes in charge we will at least qualify for Europe each year. He has a pretty good record in the transfer market given the limited resources he had at Everton and is a proven premier league manager. His teams can both be attack minded and defensive so I don't think style of football will be a problem for spurs purists.

With AVB, he is very intriguing due to his football philosophy and tactics which seems to be the way football is heading with his 4-3-3 system. I must admit I have been seduced by the recent press articles noting AVB formation at Porto and Chelsea with a mock analysis on where the current spurs players would fit in the system. It's someone I wouldn't mind seeing and could possibility be the way spurs goes from a consistent top 4-6 team to a title challenger. However he was unimpressive at Chelsea and you do have to question his man management skills given he couldn't get the best out of his senior players.

 

[HotspurSam]

Ralf Rangnick is my choice.

 

[Wellspurs]

But this poll is "who do you want?", not "who do you think is a realistic target?".

If that was the case then Harry should be on the list and he would get quite a few votes.

Again, can someone show an example of AVB's poor man-management before he went to Chelsea?

I'm amazed that not every single one of us voted for either Pep or Jose - I'm not saying for a second I think we could get either one but surely they would be no 1 target given the choice?

Perhaps the question should have been who is your 'realistic' No 1 Target

Agree, This poll is who you want regardless of realism , there is another poll for who you think and neither Mourinho or Guardiola are an option

From people who are ridiculously sentimental, perhaps.

He did a decent job for us but he's hardly the best manager in Europe.

 

[MrWoolley]

I'd be delighted with Moyes or Blanc.

And AVB is then?

Didn't he givethat interview before he took up his position at Chelsea, where he was asked if he had any resevations about taking the Chelsea post, and he said: "Yeah, I'll have to work with John Terry and he's a !" (or maybies I just made that up)

And AVB is then?

Because he is at the other end of teh age spectrum and because he has achieved more by the time he is 34 than most managers do in a lifetime, I suppose there is more of a realistic chacne that he is than than Mr Redknapp is.

 

[freeeki]

And AVB is then?

In my opinion, yes - he dominated the Portuguese league with Porto, is the youngest manager to ever win a European title and arguably led Chelsea 90% of the way to their double this season.

It seems people are using the behaviour of prima donna scum like Terry and Cole to discredit AVB's record, which I find really quite bizarre.

Harry, on the other hand, won an FA Cup with Portsmouth and took Spurs on a decent Champions League run. He didn't break us in to the top 4 - Martin Jol did that. Harry merely kept us there.

Let's not start being ridiculous about Harry's achievements, because there aren't actually as many to write home about as everyone on here seems to think.

AVB is an upgrade on Harry, hands down.

I'm leaning towards Blanc at the moment. Have massive misgivings about AVB and Martinez, think Moyes would be a safe pair of hands, but perhaps would be too safety first for our tastes, obviously would love Pep, but that is a pipe dream.

Blanc has done a great job reinvigorating the French team, the players talk about how he has created team spirit and put his trust in them, he had a great time at Bordeaux as well. He's charismatic, played in all the major leagues of Europe, won everything, speaks good English, and has a touch of the Wenger about him, a little professorial, perhaps.

 

[Coyboy]

Getting the French manager post Euros? Hmm. Hope BAE and Walker will enjoy not passing the half way line.

Don't tell SpursKing

 

[dannythomas]

To be honest apart from Pepp or Blanc I would prefer Jol over anyone on the lis that is obtainable. Bilic would have been the best.

 

[Wellspurs]

AVB couldn't handle Cole, Terry and Lampard... not in the same league but VDV and Gallas have had their moments.

Why?

"And as for Kyle Walker and Benoit Assou-Ekotto, their marauding runs will be encouraged under Blanc.
During his time at Bordeaux, Marseille coach Didier Deschaumps said of Blanc’s use of full-backs: “The really big difference is that their full-backs are really involved in their attacks. [Mathieu] Chalmé and [Benoît] Trémoulinas play really high up the pitch. Bordeaux, even putting to one side their set-piece ability, score 50 percent of their goals from crosses from their full-backs.”

Eh? Under Jol we came 5th in 2006 due to Lasagne-Gate and 5th the next year - but up until the end of April that season we were in 8th in the league and somehow scraped our way to finish 5th, a country mile behind Arsenal in 4th and a full 5 points worse than the previous season. We were systematically going backwards under Jol, Ramos undid most of what was left of his good work and Harry sorted it all out and then some.

 

[sussexyid]

Why is no one really interested in Fabio Capello?

He is as about as successful as a manager can be in terms of Club Management. I know we were poor at the last world cup but with the players available, I wasnt really surprised. Everywhere he goes, he wins the league (litteraly, every club!), he can handle the big egos, he can pull in the big players we want to sign.

And he is free and available after the England job.

Im bemused by the clamouring for AVB. Good, granted, but a one or two season wonder in Portugal surely?

Fab Cap is the way forward in my books. And ITK keep saying that its ALLEGEDLY a manager that is under the radar at the moment and he isnt being linked to us.

All makes sense to me. And Id be happy as a pig in poo if we got him!!

It wasn't Jols decisions to get rid of Carrick our most important player and replace him with Zokora ffs. Anybody would have gone backwards . If Jol had Modric, VDV , Sandro,Bale and Adebayor to work with instead of the likes of Salteri, Atouba, Zokora and Jenas and had been allowed to keep Carrick I don't think he would have achieved any less than Harry. But he didn't make those decisions. It was Arnesen then Comolli.

blanc and deschamps scare me. big names, bad fit.
