Next Manager Watch

[Japhet]

Going by our recent PR she's been on the Advocaat...

She's been on Dick??

Munn will be wanting to go back to Melbourne soon. Dont blame him as at least the weather isnt shit.

Mate weather's the same as the UK

When Chelsea sack a manager after we did and appoint before we do, and on the face of it are more of a shambles, you know that’s when you’re fucked. The lack of vision and cohesion at the top explains soo much when it comes to what we’ve seen on the pitch in recent years.

 

[jurgen]

Totally fair. I guess what I'm saying is: I would question if there are enough people in those positions with genuine footballing insight/knowledge

Looking at the club's current directors, you'd have to conclude Levy is the person with the most footballing knowledge in the room, which is terrifying in itself

 

[barry]

Compare this to Paul Barber who recently said he always keeps an updated list of managers he will approach as soon as they lose their current one. It’s really not rocket science.

That's fair, but the criteria is very different. I'm no Levy supporter but getting a manger for Brighton, and they're expectations, and getting one for Tottenham, with ours, is a different kettle of fish.

 

[RuskyM]

If we’re being real, is there any difference between a manager being agreed upon anytime between March and the summer? The season was over as soon as Antonio refused to attack against Milan, and any manager wouldn’t have started until next season anyway. Save the doom until June, cos it really doesn’t matter prior to that.

 

[neogenisis]

This is the problem when you have no one overseeing you saying *Hey Danny, you are being abit shit mate, may want to buck it up or you may be selling tickets in a box for the Go Karting track*
Its really scary to think they all sit up there and dont see anything wrong with what they do and how they do it.
When prospective managers turn up this is what they see....

They’re unquestionably more of a shambles, come on now.

No reason for us not to have a list though

 

[barry]

I agree with everything here except your suggestion that Slot will get more time from either Levy or the fans. When it comes to impatience both are rather toxic. A straw way too far when our fans boo'd Emerson and then Sanchez. I'm still annoyed about it because they are harming the club they are supposed to support. We need to change our mindset to being happy with Europa qualification over the next two seasons if we are going to be patient through a whole season without stinking up every match day forum in the process. Our stadium was designed to hold in the noise and allow us to create a cauldron of intimidation. Perhaps it should have been stressed that this intimidation was supposed to be aimed at the OPPOSITION team.

If he plays winning football he'll get time. He if he play's good football he'll get time. If he plays dour losing football he won't.

 

[mil1lion]

Told just now we are still speaking to various candidates agents etc. We still don't know who we want is the truth of it.

Levy likes Slot others not so keen. Yes we are still doing this, with everyone and their dog having an opinion regardless of how much they understand about the game. It seems just when we are starting to come to a decision, someone else weighs in that really shouldn't have a say in the bloody matter.

Fucking Doris getting involved again.

It does sound like the board is made up of each member in this thread

 

[KingNick]

It's bizarre that members of the board whose job it is to run Spurs have strong opinions? I'm not so sure about that. Unless I've misunderstood and Levy is canvassing the opinion of the tea lady, kit boy and cleaning staff?

You have to appreciate why certain people were brought onto the board in the first place, and in some/.many cases it really wasn't about running a football club - it was to run a property/construction project and /or to build a commercially successfully entertainment company.

 

[inclineyid]

True, but you can bet your bottom dollar City have a list ready to go for when Pep leaves, because they are well run and have knowledgable football administrators in key positions making pro active decisions like Brighton do, not Donna Marie

There will be 10 league games played post Antonio Conte.

Considering the makeup of the top 4/European places and the points separation i'd say there was alot to play for which we essentially pissed away.

 

[mattstev2000]

Yeah, much better to sweep it all under the carpet and imagine it's all under control.

Literally no one is doing that. Look at the rest of this thread and anywhere else on the board. Every thread devolves into a repetition of things that everyone and their dog know already. Levy isn't competent, the board isn't competent, the tea lady isn't competent. We know.

For someone that spent the entire transfer window a year or so ago moaning about the constant negativity in every thread you sure do seem to have done a complete 180.

 

[Yantino]

I will hold the board to account based on the decisions they make. So far their recent track record has been pretty poor to say the least, but i hold out hope of an improvement and recognition of the mistakes that have been made by making better ones.

What i won't do is get frustrated and annoyed based on information (gratefully) received by those considered ITK. Thank you for posting the info though.

 

[Trix]

Is it? Genuine question. Both are companies turning over millions of pounds and both with the same objective, win. The managers position is the same, coach the players and maximise the squad output. How do you feel Brighton's criteria is different to ours. It's about identifying who does that best and getting them in, it's simple. If they can't do that(and history suggests they can't) then employ a DOF first to do that for you. The difference between us and Brighton is nothing to do with expectations and everything to do with the fact they have a competent person in place in Barber and they let him get on with it.

 

[thekneaf]

What if Slot was always the main plan. And rather than be reactionary and grab deals that appear on the market we held course and now are looking to hire the diligently selected first choice.

I feel like some ITK have been quietly trying to prepare us for this.

Really we won't know until we hire, but if i it's Slot there was no way we could hire him before he won the league.

Not really - the manager we eventually want is with a club. The manager Chelsea got is without a club. Hell Poch is without a club and they have taken forever to appoint him and he still hasnt stepped into the role even though he is available.

There is no doubt we are amateurish and shambolic - but there is no rush in appointing a manager as the season is still going on really. And we did say Mason is in charge until end of the season.

I dont get the uproar that we havent appointed anyone yet. It isnt like this is the summer after the seasons end - this isnt 2021 all over again. I would be concerned if we havent got our management team in four weeks time.

It happens. Years ago I did contract work for a bloke. He started making some weird decisions and I told him 'Don't do that!' He carried on regardless and tanked the business, but then stood there shaking his head and saying 'What happened?' I wasn't there by then, but the answer was 'You happened, you numpty!'
