Next Manager Watch

[glacierSpurs]

I actually don't know what yard stick is Levy using to measure the attractiveness of the club now - it's a mess with no Europe next season. If any manager, presumably Nagelsmann and Slot, and DoF are keen and offer their utmost diligence inputs and feedback to build the team, at the same time willing to take on more responsibility in player recruiting, why does Levy keeps thinking there will be better alternatives at an even lower cost who can provide better value than them? He should count himself lucky that they offered him solutions.

Another concerning thing are the optics as Chelsea have just appointed Poch who didn’t even get a call from us and we are considering someone who is possibly our third or fourth choice…

 

[Stamford]

I find it odd that people are demanding we give patience to Ange when they were ready to turn on the past three managers from day one. He doesn't deserve the same level of respect as Jose or Conte at all. Won nothing and done nothing of note in his career.

I think Levy is stubborn and is under the impression he knows more than anyone else…

He's won nothing?

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

I don’t particularly want Ange but it’s about time we try something different to glamour appointments and/or passive football.

At the very least we know Ange plays a really good brand of attacking football. There are obviously huge concerns around age and experience but everyone needs to give him a chance now.

My biggest concern is Kane, who is obviously considering him future, looking at Ange and thinking “this is the best you could do?”

You do you buddy, I think I'm going to give him a Chance. Fuck Jose and Conte.

 

[Phil_2.0]

What have you watched and read?

Someone on reddit posted a lot of documentaries and clips of interviews hes done. I have also read articles on how Celtic play.

Hes a decent coach obviously but it isn't very exciting. I think he also rules with an iron fist, distant and tough. Like Conte.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Who gives a fuck what the City Group think? They’re a financially doped sports washing machine. Their opinion mean’s absolutely nothing when they can buy virtually every league their teams are in.

This will end in tears.

They are but they are also a very well run operation with the best knowledge of coaches and a set coaching methodology for others to follow like Arteta etc.

It may end in tears but so did Mourinho and Conte, 2 supposed ' world class proven winners' who played utterly dogshit defensive football and couldn't coach and develop players to save their lives.

Nearly ever Spurs fan was underwhelmed with Jol, Redknapp and Poch. They are our 3 best PL managers. Jol hadn't really done anything in his career when he was appointed assistant manager.

How about we actually give the man a chance if he's appointed, especially as he actually wants to play attacking football. It might be a disaster, it may work out, who knows? But if he wants to play attacking football the Spurs way and actually wants to be here, he will get my backing over so called world class coaches who just want to defend in their own box the whole match and constantly slate the club because they're 'above us'.

So this is the equivalent of showing interest in a manager from a league 1 side. Exciting times.

 

[JRHartley1]

I agree with you but did we have that clear steer from the Club of what they were looking for? It may be that the Spurs related journalists were briefed that that was the case but it could also be one of those rumours that becomes fact over time and on this site. As I say I can't recall s there may well have been that clear message..

I believe it was from a couple of reporters, the club will generally not come out and outright saying anything. I actually haven't got anything against Postecoglou, any manager we go for will always have a level of risk about them. However, everyone pretty much knew Conte wasn't renewing his contract this summer back in Jan, so why didnt we already have a list drawn up and start sounding potential replacements out back then?

Big Ange.

Given the clusterfuck of epic proportions that we have found ourselves in I may have completed a 180 degree turn to get behind Ange.

Purely because I've always fancied having a manage that you can prefix with 'Big'.

That's where this club has left me. That is my motivation.

 

[RuskyM]

Guardiola and Brighton both really rate Postecoglou, but Mick from Basildon doesn't because two team league innit, I could win that!

He had exactly this dismissal at Celtic. He crushed it. He'd do the same here.

Any manager who comes in needs time and patience from the fans. It doesn't matter what they have done up to now. The majority of this fanbase will turn on someone pretty quickly and never give that person a chance to redeem themselves. Poch had won nothing in his career and he stayed for 5 glorious years. Ange may surprise you. Enrique may do the business. Potter may do well if given it, so might Rodgers.

We need to learn as a fanbase to not get one someone's back the moment they make a mistake or we go behind in game one.

CVs and resumes mean nothing when it comes to giving someone time to prove themselves.

 

[RuskyM]

Also, Slot -> Ange is at least a sign of consistency of profile we want, which say Enrique wouldn't be.

I'm not demanding mate, just don't see why he gets so much negativity.

I guess I see him as on the same level as Slot. Who last week people were defending like he was their long lost dad, so if one is good enough then to me the other is.

I really really really want Nagelsmann, I think he is absolutely perfect for us and it blows my mind our board seem to be putting their own ego before doing what's best for the club but I can't control their actions sadly because if I did every single one of them would be so far away from the club they would be employed by the scum.

So from what's left I don't see Ange as that bad a pick. Who else? Enrique? Well I've heard plenty of stuff about him that would make me question the appointment. Amorim? Well if they won't pay the Slot release clause they aren't paying for Amorim and he also comes from a weak league and doesn't play great football. Potter? I wouldn't be against but he hasn't had the success Ange has, Rodgers and Glasner, no ,no never. Mason isn't anywhere near ready.

The optics here look dreadful but that's because they have already messed it up, we can't control that but when you look at what Ange does , how his teams play and his personality it could be a lot worse.

 

[Zino]

The thing that I can't wrap my head around is that we were actively interested in Nagelsmann before but this time can't agree a deal with him because we have differing views on who we want as the director of football. This is coming from a club who hired a director of football who they didn't think would get a worldwide ban from football for being a fraud!

Nagelsmann and his choice of DOF is literally the best set up for a rebuild that this club wants/ NEEDS.

Enrique is a good manager with a great trophy cabinet but I can't help but think we'll all be back in this thread in 18 months if it is to be him. Pure assumption but I feel its fair after these last 4 years worth.

Ange P...I like him, I think he's a great manager and a likeable person that can unify the group, but he'll be coming into a fanbase that will be 50/50 on wanting him and so could be a rough start. I'm trying to gaslight myself into being happy if it's Ange and of course I'd support him if its him. But Nagelsmann is right there....

 

[G Ron]

So, reading the last few pages and we haven't got a fucking clue who it's going to be?

Neither has COYS, Daniel

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Like big Ange from the stuff I have seen of him. Very good style of football, likes to rebuild with rough diamonds rather than established players. Sort of ticks the boxes.

however I can understand why fans would have reservations.

1 big jump in quality in terms of league he would manage in.
2 massive come down from Nagelsmann and Pochettino.
3 while the appointment might be good the messy nature means fans won’t think it is a genuine plan more a whatever is left option.

to be honest I didn't want Slot either. I think we have messed about and for some reason Nagelsmann isn't happening when he's the obvious stand out candidate. I really don't get where we are going with this appointment at all
