Here we go again as in red top makes up hyperbole story after club hired new manager?
We all know there are going to be stories linking us to half the Southampton squad, demands of CL football and we'll be linked with a host of Argentinian and Spanish speaking players. Most of it won't be true.
Levy having clauses in a contract is normal.
I'm really not sure why you're using The Mirror as a source to back up your view.

Good, that is always the goal for any good team in EPL. Get used to it. Its not a problem if you dont get 4th, its a big problem if you do not try.
Arf!
Top quality journalism! Brimful of quotes to substantiate the headline. Or not.

As for we need a new chairmen if this manager doesnt work out, then you have to think Levy needs to consider his position or his advisors, if does go sour
He has got alot of managerial appointments wrong(imo all of them except harry, who according to rumours was second choice to Hughes). In any other business there would be an assessment of the person hiring the duds and as to why they keep on hiring the wrong man(not saying poch is the wrong man)

But football is not like any other business is it?, hiring a manager is 99.9% risk as most managers have failed somewhere its a gamble most ( if not all) the time.

Whichever way you want to spin this. Spurs are profitable and solvent. They are in the top eight of the league and in Europe again this season. Stop listening to the the bloody likes of Sky about manager turnover its 2014 not 1980 manager turnover is high at all clubs in Europe. Wenger will be the last of his kind I expect.

I understand that but the thing is its not like every club is hiring duds
If the process in which you hire managers is giving you poor managers you change the fucking process. Also these advisors you sack them after hiring duds as well. We sacked Commoli because he hired a dud

For all but the mega rich owned clubs, it is just like any other business.

Most clubs go through managers just as quick as others do, there is NO way of knowing if a certain manager will be a winner at 99.9% of all clubs as there are too man variables in football, comparing a managers job to one in buisness is not the same.

Sorry mate but that is bollocks when it comes to hiring managers, there are far more varibles in football then there is in running a office or the like.

I dont see Poch getting us CL this season in the slightest and i doubt Levy would give that as a stipulation for his first season ether. Bullshit news reporting at its finest.

They are not duds persa they are attempts to give Spurs in this case that edge/spark to make up for our overall lack of financial clout. AVB was a worthy attempt by DL to see if he AVB, might be able to give Spurs that edge we require to overcome the super rich opponents. Now it did not work, but thats the game we must play, now he given Pochettino a chance, I say good on all concerned.
Look he may not work, but never have a go at someone for trying to improve the club.

Sorry mate cant agree there, all our managers have been signed off the back of good seasons and short term success.
Im not comparing businesses anymore but if the process is whack then you change the people who are advising the appointments. You do more due diligence in to the managers background and their real work and not just from people who like them.
The thing is half of these pundits make it up as they go along and thats true, Souness the other day said Modric was Madrids weak link.

Variables are just that. The basic premise is the same though you take a punt in the end. Some work and some dont that is no difference in any form of business its all about people.

Surely part of the process is to see if a manager fits in with the ethos with the club and has had a good history in an environment similar to yours. Its was clear AVB had board room issues, dressing room issues and didnt have much experience.
The same could be said about Juande who had similar to AVB got a great team from his DoF,(he didnt build it) and then worked well with it
If you don't intend to back a manager get one with a history of producing youth(yes avb said he do that but he was talking out of his arse and his record says it all)
I have done experiments that insane of variables but its up to you limit the risk and if you don't will continue to have a lack of understanding and continue to have unpredictable results
