FWIW - Mason using Emerson & Porro in same line up and playing them alternatively in back 4 & back 3 in & and out of possession has been impressive .He solved some of the issues during a mini injury crisis in CB position and found a way to build up play, providing some defensive organisation

I am not saying Mason should be a contender for Spurs manager. But Mason does have managerial material in him. If he progresses well outside of Spurs,may be one day we can look forward to him

Exactly.

The issue of course is because he is new to this, he will make decisions that will cost us in games but that's all part of his evolution as a coach.

The positive thing here though is that he doesn't appear to be stubborn in his approach and he'll try many things to ensure the team play positively.

That's a big plus for a young coach. He's not scrambling around in the dark either, this tactical tweak you mention proves that

More upside IMO if we’re scraping that end of the barrel.

I’d much rather keep mason than get Ange in but for me it’s got to either be JN or Potter

much as Mason is a dependable Spurs man Ange comes reccomended by Guardiola has done a fantastic job at Celtic and has a charisma around that we badly need - he may not want to come to Tottenham but when he arrived at Celtic the situation was a similar shit show the side was in need of rebuilding the board and supporters were at loggerheads and yes the football up there is less competitive but the overall togetherness that he has brought has been great -

Can't say stuff like this. He not experienced enough. It's probably luck that it worked.

I agree with you though. I think he looks for solutions rather than problems to moan about. That's they type of thing I want to see in a manager. Last 3 have permanents have been awful for that.

What continues to be baffling is that we were supposedly interested in Nagelsmann before on two separate occasions so we must have seen something in him yet the media would have us believe that we are no longer interested…I doubt his time at Bayern could be categorized as a complete catastrophe so it makes no sense why we would not at least conduct a formal interview and if it went well, place him at the top of the list…

No one knows what’s going on…

We will hopefully all keep doing our bit to influence change but I can't see it being likely so the best case would be Levy hiring a Manager who is a better fit than the last 3 and hoping they work miracles like Poch did and just bring a sense of togetherness and enjoyment back to the club if nothing else. That is about the best we can realistically hope for right now.

I appreciate the positivity but unfortunately I don't think you're living in any sort of reality here. The fans are on their last straw with Levy. They're done.

If Levy hires someone like Mason, Ange, or Rodgers, with who's out there available right now that's basically like a declaration of war on his own fans at this point. It will take an already toxic situation and make it worse.

He needs to read the room, give up some power, and appoint someone everybody will get behind. That's the only thing that's going to keep him from a half empty stadium and fan protests next season.

Conte left us in the lurch and cowardly walked away - his pathetic brand of football it was clear for all but the blind to see the position was false and the deck of cards was falling away as the side unravelled it was a disaster waiting to happen and one that he very much created

Didn't Levy fire him?

fortunately yes but only after he made his position untenable - but the real mistake was hiring him

Yes. Attacking football. The one thing many on here said is all they wanted.

jebratt · May 29, 2023

Perhaps part of the delay in appointing a DoF and manager is that the board is waiting to see if there are any other candidates that might suddenly become available like Tuchel (wouldn’t be my top choice)…?

anyone care to enlighten me on anything itk/useful in the last couple hundred pages? Where is the search up to these days? haha

I'm not sure how by saying that the best we can hope for is a Manager with a good style of play and character to try and unite the fans because Levy isn't going anywhere = 'I'm not living in any sort of reality'.

I go to games mate and trust me our fans won't be doing f all en masse to protest against Levy unless we end up in a relegation battle, its all just noise on here and on Twitter, when I go to games its the odd song here or there, one or two ballons and the same 10 people 'protesting' before home matches, our fan base are placid and won't do anything about this and even if they did no one is putting up a £5bil big anytime soon to buy Levy and ENIC out and EVEN then Levy might still try to stay on, so the reality is he isn't going anywhere anytime soon unfortunately which is why as I said the best we can hope for is that he hires a Manager who brings more exciting style of play and helps to unite the fans and lift the spirits of the club a bit.

Slot would've been perfect for this but alas...

jebratt · May 29, 2023

I think the last ITK we had is that there are three candidates left:

Candidate #1 - Our second choice to Slot…Ongoing negotiations
Candidate #2 - No current negotiations (initially there were hints that it might be Amorim but I think that was quickly ruled out)
Candidate #3 - Unlikely because he has already spurned us

I hope I was able to get the gist of things…

He doesn't give a shit about how the fans feel. To him all fans are just ATMs

You are vastly overestimating 'fan power' or even the level to which you think fellow Spurs fans agree with you.

At matches, the impression on TV is that there isn't really a toxic atmosphere. Some toxicity only emerges if we're losing. But other than that it's a nice day out.

As far as I can tell, Spurs fans have no real precedent for boycotts or effective fan action against an owner/CEO. Almost no club does. Newcastle fans did make St. James's a fairly unpleasant place for Mike Ashley during all those years of drift. But Spurs fans a light years away from this. The pre-match protests are laughably small and the smattering of 'Levy out' signage at matches is very isolated.

I'll believe it when I see it regarding "half empty stadium and fan protests next season". The 4-1 last day win will tide a surprisingly large number of fans over for the summer, along with the newness that is about to be an incoming manager (whoever he is) and some player changes.

jebratt · May 29, 2023

To speculate:

Candidate #1 - Could be Nagelsmann (hoping) and the ongoing negotiations could be related to the DoF and how much control the manager will have over transfers…

Candidate #2 - Sounds like Ange and we are waiting for Scottish Cup Final to be concluded…

Candidate #3 - Rodgers or Potter who have both turned us down in the past…

The wildcard is Galtier since it was reported by someone (ITK?) that he was a candidate we were considering which might mean we are waiting to see what happens at PSG…Personally, I do not think he would be a good fit…

While I agree with your last paragraph, what if Munn and the rest of the "footballing" brains of the board want Ange?

Then you'd want Levy to step in and do exactly what you don't want him to do? It's only an example but I feel like people are bending the narrative to who they want in as manager..

Not sure how you lump Mason, Ange, and Rodgers in the same general category. One has unquestioned love and understanding of the club but lacks experience. One has the experience but lacks love for the club. And the other is a question mark.

Based on your posts in this thread you and I have differing opinions on Ange and whether or not he'd be a good hire...which is obviously normal during a process like this. You may dislike all three of those guys. But the pros and cons of each one couldn't be more different from one another.
