Only Spurs fans could dismiss Jose as not good enough.
It's like some of you are actually scared of winning something.
Truly mind boggling stuff.
Lol it was Ramos. He banned junk and gave them awful food shakes instead.
The way I see it is:
If we go down the 'winner' route :
Mourinho
Allegri
If we stay with the 'project'
Nagellsmann
Ten Haag
Marco Rose.
The thing is, there's no manager we could bring in with a guarantee of success, anyone we bring in could fail.I'm not convinced he's the right fit for the job.
Can't see us getting Ten Haag or Nagelsmann anyway.
How so? I know both of them have been linked with Bayern in the past but then so have a few people. Even if they did get the Bayern gig, that would only rule one of them out.
The thing is, there's no manager we could bring in with a guarantee of success, anyone we bring in could fail.
But his record is staggering, multiple trophies at every single club he's managed.
There's no other manager available who ticks the boxes in the way Jose does.
The reason you're intrigued is because you suspect it could pay off.
If he's not the right fit for the job, then its time to change the bloody job.
Time to ditch the 'project' and roll the dice, the fans deserve to.
Because like many players, they are some of the hottest in the game right now and if they would be available then more clubs with potentially bigger pockets would come running. Ten Haag has said he won't leave Ajax this season so that could coincide with Bayern having a caretaker until the summer and then taking him on.
Nagelsmann just joined Leipzig this summer. A wealthy club in Germany, so I can't see him leaving them that quickly.
No, thank you. No more projects. No more philosophy. Philosophy is an ancient subject for theoretical thinking or for late nights at the boozer. Football is for tactics, pragmatics and winning. It's sports, not a fucking academic exercise.It depends though. In a lot of ways the big name managers are not going to be successful unless they're given massive money to spend, which we all know Levy just won't sanction. It's all very well saying Mourinho this and that but if he comes in, the first thing we need to do is replace Eriksen, Toby, etc. etc. and sort out the FB situation. He'll want to go out and spend £500m, which he's not going to get, so instead we'll end up with some "alternatives" that Levy has managed to do a deal for, Mourinho will get into a strop and sulk, and we'll be back in the same kind of situation we're in now. This idea some people seem to have that he's just going to come in and win us the title straight away is just bonkers.
For that reason I think a "project manager"/coach, whether that be someone like Nagelsmann or whoever, just suits where we're at as a club more. The best manager isn't always just the biggest name you can find. If they don't fit in with the strategy of the club then it's a waste of time and money. Personally I'm not writing Mourinho off completely, part of me does have a sort of morbid fascination with seeing what would happen under him, but I can't shake the feeling that more likely than not it would all just end up in a complete shit show after a year or so and we'd be back to square one anyway.
They're both hot prospects as managers, but for me neither of them has the "status" yet to walk into one of the really top jobs IMO. Especially with the likes of Mourinho and Allegri currently available. I'm not saying we're nailed on to get one of them but I don't see why we'd automatically be ruled out. We'd almost certainly be in the conversation.
As for Leipzig they're a team with a lot of money but no identity and no prestige. They're an interesting project, nothing more. They're surely a means to an end for almost everyone involved whether it's players or coaching staff. If a good job comes up in the summer I can't imagine Nagelsmann is that desperate to stay at Leipzig. That's not to say he's unhappy, but I just don't see why he'd turn down better offers to stay there.
So just like now, except successful?
I actually think a lot of Spurs fans are institutionalised.
No, thank you. No more projects. No more philosophy. Philosophy is an ancient subject for theoretical thinking or for late nights at the boozer. Football is for tactics, pragmatics and winning. It's sports, not a fucking academic exercise.
Bring me somebody who will keep it tight and nicely structured down below, have a lean but well shaped middle and dress up with arousing, free flowing top. Oh, I'm digressing, here I am talking about brunettes again. But it goes for a manger, too.
Fair enough. I still don't see us getting either, but then I doubt we can get Allegri interested either. Not saying it's impossible in any way, just can't see it now where there will be a bunch of clubs keeping their eyes open for a new manager.
I base it on Nagelsmann being so young, so there really is no reason to hurry off and risk his rising reputation by going into the PL (or Spain). I see him as smart enough to spend some time and develop his skills before taking on a bigger job.

I understand you, but I'm not onboard with those who claim that Levy and Mourinho couldn't collaborate. Yes they have built their status in the game on different approaches, but I fully believe that if they were put together in the same club, they'd be a heck of a combination. For a time, though. For a time.I'm not talking about any kind of "philosophy" or whatever. I'm purely talking about how people like to work. I don't care who you are, everyone has a way they work. The way Mourinho works is basically the polar opposite of the way that Levy works, that's where the problem lies. Being "the best" doesn't necessarily mean you're the best fit.
Like I said earlier, I am intrigued as to what would happen, just on the off chance. But I think people are getting far too carried away with him when there are several quite clear warning signs that indicate it would most likely not work out.
If Mourinho could hold himself back from sniping about transfer funds it could be ok.I understand you, but I'm not onboard with those who claim that Levy and Mourinho couldn't collaborate.
