One thing Stobart makes clear in his other tweets is that he is not a fan of Poch.Its amazing that Poch would be seen as the fav. This in my mind is as much a risk as Tuchel would be.

Here you go. It was on Twitter.
In a convo about Tuchel and in response to someone commenting that we are unlikely to know who he is as "we don't scout players properly so we aren't going to scout managers properly either":

Greg Stobart@gstobart
@realchazlacey @bankruptspurs @WindyCOYS @bbqbobs They know him but will be seen as too high risk
And his tweet about back to the drawing board:

@e_spurs @crackersTHFC @StevenLDN Pochettino would get an interview and be favourite. But back to square one really - all much of muchness
It was April 22nd. Chris Miller (Windy) started the convo. Here is a link to it if you want to read all the conversation.When was this? I tweeted Greg the other day re Tuchel and he replied saying he wasn't under consideration at the moment. Didn't not expand to say that they knew who he was. Gives me a little more hope now!!!

The thing that gives me hope is that Spurs bloggers/journalists are starting to talk about him (all favourably) and the more it is out there the more Levy and co will be aware of it and maybe start to think about him an even give him an interview.
The power of social media can't be under estimated anymore and you would be amazed at what changes happen at companies from the voices of customers this way.

To be honest neither am I! One thing is for sure though. Whoever the next man is I will support him. I just hope Dan makes the right call on this one.One thing Stobart makes clear in his other tweets is that he is not a fan of Poch.

I really don't understand how anyone here could be okay with Pochettino but be against Michael Laudrup. Laudrup would be a FAR better choice for us than Pochettino.
Just compare the CV's of these two as managers. Laudrup had a better winning percentage at smaller clubs in La Liga (Getafe and Mallorca) than Pochettino did at the larger Espanyol, and that's not even taking into account Laudrup getting Getafe to the quarterfinals of the Europa League and nearing winning the Copa del Rey.
Pochettino will end this season with between 6-9 more points than Laudrup's Swansea side of 2012-2013, but Laudrup also won a cup trophy with a far inferior squad. Laudrup was on pace to comfortably steer an injury plagued Swansea side to safety despite Vorm, Michu, Bony, Dyer and de Guzman all carrying injuries for the first part of the season and led Swansea to the knockout stages of Europa. The only issues with him is whether he would be in it for the long haul and whether he could deal with Levy (but that is a concern for ANY manager we appoint).
But what we need right now is someone who can step in and give us quality results next season. Laudrup really is the best option if Van Gaal isn't interested and De Boer doesn't want to leave Ajax. He's familiar with the league, he's available, and most importantly, he's someone our star players (Eriksen, Lloris, Vertonghen) would stand up and take notice of given his reputation as a footballer. Considering the success of Martinez and Rodgers when given better players, wouldn't it be a smart, calculated risk to see whether a manager who arguably had more success than both at the same club could mold our highly talented squad to meet their collective high ceiling?
The other thing about Laudrup is that he knows our squad pretty well from his time in England and in Spain. He wanted Chadli at Swansea and Soldado while at Getafe. He obviously knows Eriksen well, and he has the language skills to communicate with Lamela. He's very good in finding value in the transfer market, too.
Pochettino simply isn't a big enough name, in my opinion, to keep our best players here this summer, nor can we attract the type of quality signings we need with him in charge. Luke Shaw isn't going to come with him and I doubt Levy will sanction 25 million+ pounds for Lallana.
The pressure element is a good point and something we won't know how he will handle until he is in that situation. I think the same could be said about most of the managers we are being linked with and even LVG has cracked under the pressure at Barcelona.
The quality of the Bundesliga isn't a good point when you go on to say we would be better off with a Klopp sytle appointment, as Klopp manages in a league if only one team better than you and the difference in quality between you and say 6th place is huge.
There are a lot of whispers about Laudrup's time at Swansea - that he was lazy, didn't spend much time at training, allowing assistants to do it, allowed cliques to develop in the dressing room. I don't think it's any co-incidence his name has not had much heat attached to it.I really don't understand how anyone here could be okay with Pochettino but be against Michael Laudrup.

He'd probably have looked at Tito Vilanova but Tito was exceptionalFuck it, maybe we should just promote John McDermott and build through the youth team.
On another note, would Levy look at other club's assistant managers? I'm not sure he would, but hey, Levy's different and it's another option. I think the right manager for us is out there but it may not be someone obvious.
The buzz came from us just "shooting the breeze" so to speak.
The likes of @Klinsmann33 // @Lufti // @wiggo24 // @Riandor // @whitelanefever // @spurs9 // and myself started throwing around bits and pieces about Tuchel in the last few days, and it began to spread like wildfire.
I made a comment that Tuchel is likely to take over at Borussia Dortmund if Klopp leaves for Manure, and it went viral. It's madness, I tell ya!
Also a couple of months ago, the kids over @ CFC suggested that someone should take a closer look at Tuchel as a potential candidate for us, as follows: http://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnatio...enham-hotspur-manager-shortlist-thomas-tuchel
Cheers!
Here is a completely alternative list of candidates, consisting of names that are hardly mentioned in the debate.
Joachim Löw
Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Vincenzo Montella
I do highly rate Tuchel but I don't think I ever posted about him did I?I'll take credit for it anyway, but if we were going to get a Bundesliga manager, I think Favre would possibly edge it for me as he's got more experience. Either of those two would be great choices, although I don't imagine we'll get either of them

I always liked Laudrup. I suppose I was just a bit confused as to why he got sacked so abruptly at Swansea this season. I mean I can't think of too many higher-caliber managers Swansea can hope to hire.
