A million times over. A clubs ethos/plan overrides every single manager alive. You first have to decide on what you want to be, get everyone to commit, and then there can be a seamless transition between coaches and players. Don’t ever stray from that ethos and eventually the continuity will lead to success. It’s just so frustrating that I have zero faith in those in charge to create the necessary environment.I wish Levy would go but because he wont be this is the lesson to take.
This football club should never ever hire a coach simply because they are winner.
But more importantly they should never hire a coach that goes against our ethos.
Having watched Fonseca's last 2 games at Lille, I'm certain we would have seen some very good performances and had Fonseca gone into bad form or failed with objectives, the switch to the next coach would have been smoother.
We would have obtained a group of players that would have more or less suited the next coach.
By going to Jose, who wanted very technically limited players like Doherty/Hojbjerg, to Nuno, who just let Paratici do what he wanted to Conte, who needs very specific system players such as Perisic, we have accumulated a real mish mash of players.
Wait til Reguillon, Winks, Ndombele and Lo Celso return!
I believe we do have a nucleus there for a high intensity press coach but we also have about 10 players who are not going to suit that so will need a major clear out.
Had we not gone down that route, a proper Tottenham coach would likely just 1 or 2 windows to get it right.
