They usually let their players move on after a couple of years. I don't see them letting their manager go For at least another year.

If we appoint Mason til the end of the season, that surely suggests we have our eye on someone already employed (De Zerbi or Postecoglou maybe?)

Somehow I feel Ange has that sort of human touch in him I found the club recently has sorely missed.. But I already feel sorry for him to be working under Levy being micromanaged and hamstrung.

He's heavily linked with the Madrid job this summer.
personally I’d like Poch, wrongly or rightly. But if it’s not Poch I’d have Gallardo out of all the names mentioned. However there has just not been enough noise about him for it to be a realistic outcome.

Which is another reason why Conte telling them all how far off and useless they are is so infuriating! Bring in a coach who leads through belief and a collaborative approach to problem solving and improvement. Improve our CB’s in the summer and watch this ‘woeful’ squad miraculously become reinvigorated and performing levels above what we’re currently seeing

Bring back Poch and tell him to do whatever the hell he likes in terms of selling players. The man clearly loves the club and the fans and who can resist little Jesus Perez jumping for joy when we score.

Just wondering why those who would be happy with; Alonso, Kompany or Carrick wouldn’t have Mason?
he’s one of our own. Knows the club. Loves the club. Is a very talented coach. Respected by the squad, Is motivated and passionate. He’s also managed more Prem games and cup finals than any of them! With the right coaching team and infrastructure why couldn’t he succeed?
I remember it was him and Kane who stood up to the mercenaries in the squad when Poch arrived. Barely in their 20’s. That shows balls, passion and confidence. Alongside a deep respect for the club that he and they represented.
Ive recruited for many years. Granted not in football but I don’t see how it should be any different. What constitutes appropriate ‘Experience’ is subjective and so often thought about 1 dimensionally and an often misleading metric from which to draw from. Studies show it has little to no correlation to success.
Sometimes you just get a gut feeling about people and I genuinely think he could be the solution we need albeit not the one we think we want.
I’ve said similar a few times and had very few people agree. I’m willing to die on this hill! I’m a romantic at heart. To Dare Is To Do! Has to mean something.

Not to denigrate your picking Ryan Mason but I reckon Levy would play him like a fiddle.

that is exactly why it may work because Mason knows how Levy and ENIC operate.

I did think about that.
I actually think Levy is probably someone who rarely lets their guard down or connects with people. Poch seemed to get behind the facade and Mason’s history at the club and already long standing relationship probably makes him better placed to build a more open, honest trusting relationship than anyone other than Poch.

Think Levy is so simple-minded when it comes to football that he'll look at De Zerbi as the 'New Poch' of the league.
And since that appointment worked last time, he'll think it'll work again.

Hiring either of these would be like hiring Gerrard before he went to Villa. Or Lampard before Chelsea/Everton. Get a grip. Not having a decent record in management is not an asset for a potential manager of a club of our scale. As bad as things are now, they can certainly get plenty worse. This kind of appointment could lead to Everton levels of decline. There a space between novice coaches you suggest and the 'proven winner' dinosaurs we've been hiring lately and we should be looking in that fairly extensive area.

I don't because that would mean Winks would be back. Also if he did and we did somehow make 4th Levy will find an easy cheap option in keeping him on for the next season.
I think Ryan will become a good manager but we are in to much a mess for him and he needs to cut his teeth in a championship team like Carrick.

I know Postecoglu has done a fantastic job at Celtic but he wouldn't be operating in a similar ball park at Tottenham. Hes signed some Japanese players who were better than what he had but he won't get that luxury at Tottenham.
Amorim has great experience in Europe now and has impressed greatly whilst taking some scalps.
He has shown great tactical nous too.
Gallardo has overcome constantly losing his best players, adapting and continuing to win. All whilst playing very exciting football.
It has to be one of the latter 2 as there's much more evidence and data to support it.

So you mean like, manage the team lol? Novel idea. I like it.
You're right of course. Its exactly what we are paying Conte to do and he's admitted he cant do his job.

Regarding Amorim.
Its not just his time at Sporting either.
He basically went from a complete novice to huge potential as a coach within a year.
He quit a short time with Casa Pia because he didnt have his licence and had been suspended initially but didnt feel he had deserved the opportunity and had let the club down.
But quickly obtained his licenses them and then went to Braga where he made waves. They fired the first team coach and gave it to him despite him being there 5 mins.
He won the Taca Portugal after only a few months and he beat Porto, Benfica and Sporting in that time.
He was then hired by Sporting who had been in total turmoil after the Bruno De Carvalho fiasco and somehow turned it around to finish the season strongly and gave the club some form of identity.
To win the title losing only once - after they'd already clinched the title - in only his first full season was remarkable.
He significantly outperformed Benfica amd Jorge Jesus who had simply thrown money at it.
And are far more experienced Sergio Conceicao.
He lost Joao Mario and other key players but still competed the following season but couldn't quite keep up with a very good Porto team.
Still, they won the cup.
They also had a very interesting first CL campaign. They started disastrously losing 5-1 to Ajax but learnt from it to beat Besiktas convincingly 4-1 and 4-0 and then their first big scalp Dortmund 3-1.
Ajax proved to be their doing though. Although, I think that Ajax was very good.
This season has been tougher. They got off to a poor start after losing Palhinha, Nunes and (squad players) which was basically their main strength. They then lost Porro in January.
It would be like us losing Bentancur, Kane and some depth.
My worry with Amorim is that they are capable of getting a beating (City, Ajax, Marseille) and a lack of goals at times against teams that sit back but then his team lack the quality that Benfica and Porto have.
He is certainly a coach who makes teams greater than the sum of their parts

There’s also the question of what happens to Nagelsmann if BM don’t win the league. I’d be surprised if they didn’t swap him for Tuchel.
