Next Manager Watch

[yawa]

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

 

[cjbyid]

Totally understand it. DL has made major mistakes over the last goodness knows how many managers. He has doubts. But I do recognise that he should stamp (his tiny) foot down and actually make some decisions or take council in at most a very small group of advisors. It's time to do it. I suppose its good we still have a list of candidates who would still be prepared to do it?

It shows they have absolutely no plan in place.

 

[Albertbarich]

Now that we have messed up the Nagelsmann deal (I'm still annoyed) I'm hoping we get a strong DOF who together with Munn can have a positive impact on the board and the culture.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Our new head of football, who’s still busy tending his allotment has it all in hand

Calm down sport! He’ll sort out this mess of a soccer team

Tottenham Hotspurs will be back

 

[richard_gleeson]

If you're going to rebuild a culture and mentality at the club that Mason and Kane have been alluding to, then it is all about the manager. If we appoint a DOF and then they say they want a Nuno then we have no chance of it working. Yes they need to work together but the manager is more important. Who's capable of building the standards back up? Ange clearly is, maybe Slot. But the others i'm not so sure about.

Everyday the go to chavs comes nearer just makes me more sick and wanna beat levy’s bald head with a fish

 

[Hoopspur]

It shows they have absolutely no plan in place.

Or they have a plan but haven't decided who the best person would be to help implement it?*

*He says hopefully. Disclaimer - Hoops is always glass half full sort of person...

 

[Trix]

Fantastic, we can now have another 30 pages discussing Levy.

Excellent!

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

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I still cannot get my head around the fact that he could have appointed Poch 6 weeks ago, doubled or perhaps trebled our chances of getting his Sacred f****g Top 4, but instead put Stellini in charge and is prepared to see Poch manage Chelsea rather than admit he f***d it all up by not listening to him from 2017/18 onwards before firing him in 2019.

That is a Gold Medal, Grade A egotistical narcissism

Levy, ENIC, the whole board are poison

Look at it from his point of view. We need a manager, we're supposedly after one for the long haul, to totally redefine the club and what it stands for. Someone to build a team over time.

What will have changed? Levy? Can't see that. Can you imagine him giving it to Pochettino, the man he sacked not that long ago? And it not working? The stick to beat him with would be greater than ever before.

Also, why appoint someone you didn't back the first time with the promise that it'll be different this time, except that it won't be. I think the differences between them wouldn't take all that long to resurface. It'd be admitting he's got it wrong and that the last three years have been a grand waste of time, wholly down to his incompetence and then to go ahead and groundhog it?

No, Pochettino isn't what he needs right now, he'd effectively be putting his own head into the Lion's mouth. He won't go there and we need to stop pining for it.

 

[Nebby]

So, sounds like we're doing just what every other club with a board of directors does. Shocking!

 

[McArchibald]

It's the bloody Byzantine Empire. Endless consultations, factions forming, emperor Levy playing em all off against each other in an attempt to cling to power, and all the while the Football Club - our bedrock and lifeblood - is being neglected and left to decay...
While this goes on, the next manager-discussion is at the same time important and irrelevant. Because whoever lands the increasingly less coveted job at our club is doomed to failure because of the staggering incompetence at boardroom-level.

 

[inclineyid]

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.

You could then argue that we could never get a better ‘fit’ as manager than Poch and our Chairman fucked it

It doesn’t bode well…

 

[only1waddle]

Maybe Munn is wanting Ange, Levy is wanting Slot and Donna is after Dick advocaat

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

 

[wrd]

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.

It's quite interesting isn't it, we have this image of Levy being a control freak and he knows best and how he wants things to be. Yet clearly he is full of doubt and doesn't trust his own judgement and but it seems he's not really making the decisions himself, he's allowing those in his ear to make his mind up for him. From the outside, it sounds like he's a bit of a Macbeth.

Have you been to Melbourne, I spent 3 days there one November it’s pissed down for 3 days none sto.☔️

 

[Impspur1]

Crazy but not surprising. Tottenham are a poorly run football club.

This is the thing now, it used to be “ we can’t believe that” now it’s just the norm and that is so so sad for a club of our stature and potential

 

[SwedishSpurs]

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.

Almost as if they're proactive in how they operate rather than reactive like Levy. Incredible!

 

[Shanks]

The way the club is at the moment, is like my relationship with the mrs, a fucking car crash!!

may least I can move out and leave the mrs though (or vice Versa)… however, stuck with spurs

 

[Impspur1]

I don’t think there’s too much evidence to suggest our board is like any other.
