Next Manager Watch

[Wearegoingtowintheleague]

Maybe Levy has looked at that scum next door with Arteta and thought he'd just copy that success. Seems like something he would do

That's my thinking too.

Everything that is wrong with Levy, no clear plan but just trying to follow the latest trend.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Can somebody explain to me why Kompany is a rational option? I’ve not seen much of Anderlecht or Burnley so genuinely curious what his approach might be other than just being ‘ Man City’s Vincent Kompany’.

Hopefully … maybe now his obsession with ex-Chelsea managers can stop now

We had the set up right with Poch until we didn’t futureproof the squad and ended up needing a huge rebuild.

Jose, Nuno and Conte all a waste of time but hopefully lessons learnt now

If Levy is looking at the scum and looking to copy that blueprint for success then Kompany would make complete sense, Kompany is a risk well worth taking and ticks so many boxes.

Rodgers and Kompany both good options, especially Kompany.

Why are they ‘depressing’ options.

I don’t particularly want Rodgers but he’s a far better fit than any of our last 3 managers have even and Kompany even more so.

Fair enough - but, and I preface this by stating that my job is mentoring and placing CEO's of companies - I would very, very rarely look to place someone who has no experience anywhere near the level of operating at the level that we operate at with the personalities/expectations that such a role would demand. Kompany may well have potential and get there eventually, I, personally, would not suggest that he would be a sensible option right now. I, however, am not saying that he wouldn't be a success, he may be incredible, and such bets have made companies in the past - but they have also ruined far, far more. Rodgers, I personally have no real view on as I don't know enough to proffer an informed opinion.

Burnley now play like City which is no easy feat transforming a team from a long ball rigid 4-4-2 to a dynamic high pressing high possession creative attacking 4-3-3.

They are not just winning but absolutely romping the championship with a fairly average squad.

Watch on YouTube his team talks etc especially his pre season first squad address, it’s just so impressive, modern players will run through walls for this guy and he will only get better tactically over time.

The guy is a born winner and natural leader but he’s also a very positive uplifting personality which is exactly what we need at Spurs.

Have said from the start he’d be in my top3 ideal candidates. I get that some think his lack of experience is a risk but I don’t think it is particularly a risk, the risk is more than he comes to us does well and then jumps ship to take over from pep at city.

Let’s see if the rumours are true but if so well done to the club for making a move in the right direction for the first time in 3 years, regardless of if it works out or not.

If true, Ill be disappointed if we get Kompany because once again it smacks of not having thought this through end to end and simply getting the current flavour of the month. But I get its an itch a number of our fans want to scratch ('we must not sign. an experienced manager because he will look down on us so we must get someone who will jump at the chance and remain. with us for the next 10 years").

Moreover, if you're gonna go down the Kompany route, why the hell haven't we been all over Gallardo???

I get where you’re coming from but Kompany does have a lot of experience in English football and he’ll have learnt a ton from pep which as Arteta is showing counts for a huge amount.

Also most importantly his personality is one which is positive likeable and determined and he’s the kind of guy who is well prepared, calculated and will work out how to make things work.

Roll the dice on Vincent I say. If not then Slot please.

Wont repeat my points too much more but really think if people are worried about Kompany then they’re looking at the picture/puzzle with the wrong perspective as he ticks a ton of boxes in terms of the type of manager we should be going after right now.

I hear what you are saying but coaching is becoming a 'young coaches' game'.

As long as they have a good structure around them then they can focus on managing/coaching.

And some of them are coming with great ideas.

I should probably say 'football management' not 'coaching'

 

[ajspurs]

I would not feel greatly enthusiastic about Kompany at all. If things won't start or continue well for a sustained period, I'm not sure he has enough behind him for me to be able to maintain or gain any belief that he would be the right person to really persist with.

 

[jay2040]

I’d be very disappointed if that’s true.

Maybe before though as days go bye I just settle for anyone!
I thought last two managers would be here and have an impact on team. Clearly not here and now who the fuck knows .....
If Kompny can get the lads playing like they should and enjoying the game them I'm in.
Even if we lose its the manner of defeat and passion that's been lacking.

 

[thefierycamel]

I'm fine with experimenting with Kompany, but man, we really will need to get him some players who can dribble and pass cleanly. Imagine some of the nuffies in our squad trying to play pass and move football, it's terrifying

No doubt - and I tend to agree, though it has to be tempered with some semblance of knowledge and experience, maybe just surrounding them. Indeed, we are seeing in the public and private markets more broadly younger CEO's - and whilst I do agree to a large extent with this trend given the innovation they provide, they also crash and burn very, very often - costing both private investors and public (us) huge amounts. I also think that if we look at the decision makers in this process - they are dyed in the wool traditional financiers who will unfortunately tend to look at 'track record' vs. 'potential'

 

[cjbyid]

Probably in the minority here but I'd be happy if kompany happened.

It'd be something different & a different approach.

We're never going to get back to the level we were at under Pochs peak team so I'm happy to see what Vincent can do.

We might see Jan back too.

 

[Impspur1]

Man it sure seems that Kompany would be the type of massive risk that Levy would shy away from

I said a few weeks back I wouldn’t be against this and pleased to see it seems to be moving forward. A gamble yes but one that is forward thinking and fresh. I’d be really excited at the thought of him and Ya Ya on the bench

 

[Tucker]

I’d be very disappointed if that’s true.

I’ll add to this that I was also very disappointed when we appointed Poch.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

I’d start Kompany over Dier.

 

[UncleBuck]

Tbh if so I’d be absolutely delighted with that.

Some will point to a lack of experience with Kompany but the job he’s done with Burnley has been phenomenal transforming the way they play and absolutely dominating the league, he will have also learnt a ton from Pep and other managers he’s played under during his illustrious career.

He ticks many boxes :
-PL experience
-Young project type manager
-Attractive attacking possession based style of football
- Very positive and motivational uplifting character which is exactly what the club needs

For me it wouldn’t be his lack of managerial experience that would be a concern but more if he’d use us as a stepping stone to then take over from Pep at City.

Other than that there are far more positives than negatives if we did go for Kompany and it would be a very refreshing choice tbh given our last 3 manager hires, it would show that the club have read the room and are taking steps in the right direction.



Oh also imagine if he brought in Super Jan to his coaching staff 🥹

And we’ve already got Yaya at the club. Too many ex Citeh connections for me and Pep will do one sooner rather than later
