SEVEN people think PG would come to Spurs, I don't know if that's a reflection of peoples feelings or if it shows too many people can't be arsed to read my posts and just vote on the poll
So does that make him more or less realistic than Jose and Pep?Er, Bilic is off to Lokomotiv Moscow.
I didn't know that,.... er,... so it looks like sacking Harry is even more of a bad move now... I REALLY hope Spurs aren't going to pull a "leeds" here...Er, Bilic is off to Lokomotiv Moscow.
just makes him as unrealistic as Pep,.... I didn't know about the lok moscow deal. there's just not that many strong candidates out there - making Harry's sacking even more questionable nowSo does that make him more or less realistic than Jose and Pep?
One name who i haven't heard discussed at all is Marcelo Bielsa. He's my choice, by a country mile. He's just signed a new 1 year contract extension with Bilboa, but 1 year would hardly necessitate a huge buy-out.
Does he speak English?
Capello's been linked and does speak English (just not very well)shit.. he doesn't.. i didn't realize that.... big shame.
but then, capello's on the poll list.....
Desperately trying to justify your OTHER vote now ayHow about Rudi Garcia from Lille?...
"On 18 June 2008, Garcia rescinded his contract with the club to join Lille OSC, the club where he had spent six years as a player in the 1980s. In his first season, the club from Northern France developed a stylish and attacking approach, contrasting with previous coach Claude Puel's cautious and often boring tactics. Garcia's novel approach enabled players such as Ludovic Obraniak and Michel Bastos to develop, the latter becoming the club's top scorer in the league with 14 goals. Interestingly, he also gave a lot of playing time to promising youngster Eden Hazard, and the Belgian repaid this faith with some scintillating displays. Rudi Garcia was deservingly awarded the prize for best Ligue 1 coach of the 2010-11 season."
Maybe Lucien Favre from Borussia Moenchengladbach?
"Lucien Favre’s teams play a dynamic, quick and attacking minded football where ball possession and change of tempo alternate. This attractive style of play has brought results in every club he has managed. Furthermore, Favre is very skillful tactically, leaving his opponents struggling to penetrate his well-organized sides.
Lucien Favre is also well known for his ability to develop talented young players and introduce them into the first team."
Just throwing a couple names out there for conversation...
Just as desperate as Levy now... the only interesting names available in the poll are,... well,.... not really available.Desperately trying to justify your OTHER vote now ay
He could, but I'd put him in the 'risky' category. However great his season with Porto was, you can't avoid the fact that it's a major surprise when they don't win the Portuguese league; added to that, how many SC members are such close students of Portuguese football that they'd even heard of him when he took over? It seems to me also that it's easy to blame the Chelsea old guard because they're such an unpleasant bunch that we, well, just want to blame them, don't we? This avoids the awkward point that he tried to impose a system without a proper appraisal of the players he had to work with.
I posted in another thread, it's not too difficult to identify managers who would be a safe pair of hands, like Moyes, Capello, Ancelotti, Mourinho, van Gaal and one or two others; the other group—AVB, Martinez, Sherwood—could astonish us, could be a disaster.
If any of you would like to articulate why you think he would come to Spurs I'd be interested to hear

- alexn_spurs
- VincenzoCoccotti all think Jose would come to Spurs? or voting without reading the question?
Same with those who voted for Pep G
