Next Spurs Manager (No longer with groundbreaking 'Change vote' functionality)

[felmani26]

If it happens, you're probably looking at interim (interTim ) until you can get someone to start in the summer. Which is why I'd still give Poch more time even if it takes him until in to the new year to find the solutions to this.

I don't personally want someone like Mourinho "because they're available now", nor do I want to watch his football. As I said the other week, he might well win things, some/most fans might prioritise that over anything else and I can understand that, but I watch football primarily for entertainment and to see 'good football' on the parameters that I measure it on. Even with a successful outcome (winning trophies), I cant separate that from the process (the 90 mins of football) of getting there. But that's just me........

I still wouldn't make a change yet, but if it does then a starting point, for me, would be to filter managers on who plays high press, high line, possession based, tactical football.

Valid points but I feel we need to send a message on ultimately our intentions going forward.

We have (on paper) assembled a squad that should be competing on all fronts, a world class multi purpose stadium and training facilities yet we will always ben undermined by 'always being the bridesmaids' and the punchline on never getting over the line in winning anything of note.

By appointing a Mourinho or Allegri who are proven winners we are sending out the message that we want to be a force and want to win trophies which in turn reinforces that in the mindset of our players.

Mourinho won 2 trophies at united and the fans are still booing, chanting attack attack attack.

We are spurs and I love the fact we are all about flying wingers and attacking football. Players that get you off your seat. Mourinho goes against all of that.

It has to be Rafa. Probably the only one who can come in and steer the ship off the rocks.

Is there a option keep Poch but remove Levy and get new owners?

Poch has massively overachieved over the years with very little backing from levy. Levy has won 1 league cup in his tenure. He also didnt back harry redknapp when he had modric and bale in the team and now we are about to lose an incredible manager because the board only care about the profit and loss account.

Look at how Klopp was back the previous summer by liverpool to see how an ambitious chairmen who wants to win trophies behave.

Klopp benefitted massively from Coutinho’s ridiculous transfer fee.

Liverpool’s owners have more or less said they’re happy to just get champions league every season.

Don’t get hoodwinked in to thinking they’re intent on winning everything every season etc
Their owners are all about the investment and the money

We should have flogged a Eriksen or Dele when they were at their absolute peak value. We’d have got silly money for Dele. Wouldn’t get £30m for the pair now!

Poch is averse to technically great footballers. He’s not the perfect coach or tactician. He seems a motivator more than a tactical genius. Let’s not talk like if he had unlimited funds it would mean instant glory. Perhaps he’s in his absolute perfect role? Reduced expectation, nearly men etc etc

If we are serious going forward, the next appointment will tell us everything.
If it’s not Allegri/Mourinho/Ancelotti and it turns out to be Howe/Ten Haag/Rodgers then its another five year project etc

Don’t really bother me either way but if it’s the latter, please reduce my season ticket accordingly. I’m not paying the highest ticket prices in the world to watch a team compete with shit like West Ham, Leicester and Everton for a sniff of 6th place!

I see the Bromley brawler doesn’t even have Rafa on the list FFS

It was. But I loved it. Those 2 title challenges were much more memorable for me than the 2008 worthington cup.

Football is about moments, I know trophies are the stick we are beaten with but I just want to enjoy watching high tempo exciting football. Watching us spank Real Madrid and city and utd. If trophies come along the way great but it really isn’t the be all and end all.

It's an admirable attitude to have...but its akin to the poor bloke who proclaims 'money cant buy you happiness'.

 

[cookiemonster]

We need proven trophies winners

I am sick of up and coming managers who has won zilch

 

[ardiles&villa]

Simeone?

"sell our best players again, Levy has no ambition at all!"

 

[Timberwolf]

Allegri x 100.

If we can't get Allegri I'd much prefer someone like Rafa to Mourinho. The league is so competitive these days that there's no guarantee Mou would win us a trophy. Him and Levy is a match made in hell, he would demand huge transfers and our youth players wouldn't get a game. While part of me would be fascinated to see it play out it's a fucking terrible idea.

What the fucking fuck have we been playing this year then? ?

Flying wingers? Attacking football? We’re utterly boring to watch for the most part. Give me a choice of boring football with shit results like we’ve had this year or boring football with a trophy or two and I know which one I’d prefer.

Also, United had been used to winning everything for two decades playing attacking football. We’re used to winning fuck all

 

[Spurrific]

Good one, pal. Now get your glasses on and have another look.

 

[SugarRay]

"sell our best players again, Levy has no ambition at all!"

Exactly. It’s a double edged sword.

Sell Dele at his peak and we might have bought Mane and Van Dijk for example.

Hindsight is wonderful but if Barca don’t show an interest in Coutinho, things could look a lot different at that club. Van Dijk would probably be at City for starters.

 

[Gb160]

Why does this Eddie Howe nonsense keep coming up. Come on guys. Eddie Howe from Bournemouth?

He's a Levy shill getting us ready for the inevitable.

 

[stonebrow]

It has to be Rafa. Probably the only one who can come in and steer the ship off the rocks.

My choice but isn’t he on about £13m a year?

 

[eddiebailey]

Seeing Pleat and Sherwood up there has me wondering who gets to be caretaker when Poch and his crew leave. There's not much depth of talent and experience in our coaching staff. Hope Levy has someone permanent lined up.

 

[DiamondLites]

Literally anyone of Allegri, Ancelotti or even Rodgers. Wouldn’t even mind Benitez until the end of the season and see where we are

I’ll get negged to death but people always act as if he was fecking terrible for us. He really wasn’t all that bad.

Bar 3/4 results of getting smashed against the top sides we generally picked up a lot of wins and he got us playing again, introduced the youth and publicly laid into those who weren’t playing for the club. Sounds a lot like what people are clamoring for today.

Plus he was a bit of a laugh sometimes. Sorry.

 

[poc]

Allegri followed by Maureen out of that lot for me.

 

[Shadydan]

He really wasn’t all that bad.

He was, trust me.
