Next Manager Watch

I think its obvious Slot will be told to work with what hes got, and maybe the odd signing once we have sold a few (if we can sell them)

He will get a few signings I'm sure. A GK no doubt and at least 1 CB. I just can't imagine we don't get a couple of defensive players for him. It will probably be 3-4 signings rather than the 7 last summer. I hope we don't need to sell before we buy because he needs his squad together for a full pre-season.

Alternatively, our full backs could just be coached to fit the system. Crazy that we’ve got in the mindset that our players either fit a system or they don’t.

It’s a sign of how badly managed the team has been over the last few years that this is seen as a necessity. Newcastle have Joelinton in midfield, City have had Bernardo Silva playing left back, United had Rashford in the form of his life. Management can lead to great things: excited to see it again.

Lot of people saying we’ll gut the team will be surprised at what Richy, Spence, Bissouma and Sarr might be able to do with a manager interested in using them. I mean, hell, remember when people wanted Coentrao over Danny Rose? Thank fuck that didn’t happen.

It's also crazy to believe all managers only have one formation of play.

He’ll actually try to do that though, which is more than can be said for Mourinho, Nuno or Conte, who decided the best approach was to not work with what they have at all.

Assistant says he wouldn't follow manager to Tottenham - Wishes boss Spurs success if he moves - Sport Witness

Feyenoord’s Arne Slot is one of the candidates to become Tottenham Hotspur’s next manager and this topic continues to get coverage in both the Dutch and English press. The 44-year-old’s future at the Eredivisie side remains uncertain after he guided the club to league success this season...

Guess there will be room for Mason then....

think we need a clean slate backroom

 

[danielneeds]

That's a shame. He seemed like a big character and someone who'd command respect in the dressing room. Got to admire his love for Feyenoord, though.

 

[Guntz]

I've got a funny feeling Slot might sign a new deal at Feyenoord...

 

[wiggo24]

Always a bit of a concern when Assistants don't follow as you never really know who's providing what behind the scenes. Just look at Michael Beale and Gerrard.

He had a different assistant at AZ

 

[mil1lion]

Not a surprise as he wasn't with him in the past either. I would not be surprised if Slot would want Mason there. I know people want a fully a clean slate but Mason is far from the issue. He knows the squad and the dynamic to relay to Slot. He was also one of the key figures during the Poch clear out. I honestly think he's the best person to keep at the club and help Slot to understand what's been going on.

My thoughts on who we'll get as our new manager;

Who we're likely looking at, in no particular order;

1. Slot - currently the favourite, if we were to appoint Slot, that would mean we need to buy at least 2 new full backs and sell/loan out at least 3.
Davies and Royal are our only recognised FBs, hence the need for at least another two.
We would have basically wasted around 60 - 70 mil on Porro and Destiny, not to mention Sessengon (25mil)
We'd also need new CBs and a creative midfielder.
So for Levy, this is an expensive option (including 6mil compo to Feyenoord)

2. Luis Enrique - to suit Enriques style, We'd need to completely overhaul the midfield/defence and GK.
Along with Enriques high wages, this would be a very expensive option for Levy and I cant see it happening.

3. Anorim - This would probably be the most sensible option. We have players in place already to suit his style, but need to tweak a few players. His appointment might make us getting Ugarte from Sporting more likely.

4. Rogers - This is who I think we'll end up with. Hes cheap, knows the league and our players. Has a good track record, did I mention that he's cheap?

5. Potter - I think his stint at Chelsea will put Levy off (not because of Chelsea, but because of how he struggled).
I personally think he'd be a decent appointment for our current situation, experience of Premier league, wasnt exactly given much of an opportunity at Chelsea considering he had 175 players thrown at him.
His teams have always struggled to score goals, but having Harry up top (who knows for how long) would negate this. Imagine his football with a goal scorer up top.
Once again, I think he'd be a decent appointment.

6. De Zebri - I think we'll be put off by the compensation fee. A top manager who has taken Brighton to the next level.
I think De Zebri would be obtainable due to the fact that he's at a club who is always going to sell their best players, otherwise I doubt we'd get him. He will be very frustrated at losing his two best midfield this summer.

The most "Spursy" appointment from above is going to be Slot.
We'll appoint Slot and not buy the FBs that he requires, expecting him to change his tactics and go against what he usually does.
This will lead to us struggling and him being sacked within 8 months.

I believe the most sensible appointment would be Anorim, not that I want him.
We have players to match his formation.
History would suggest that Levy will already be bargain hunting and looking to sign Maddison and Ward-Prowse, both of which would probably fit into Anorims style of play.

We're Spurs, so who knows what the hell Levy will do?

As always,

It’s a sign of how badly managed the team has been over the last few years that this is seen as a necessity. Newcastle have Joelinton in midfield, City have had Bernardo Silva playing left back, United had Rashford in the form of his life. Management can lead to great things: excited to see it again.

Lot of people saying we’ll gut the team will be surprised at what Richy, Spence, Bissouma and Sarr might be able to do with a manager interested in using them. I mean, hell, remember when people wanted Coentrao over Danny Rose? Thank fuck that didn’t happen.

Most definitely this, we have a core of good players that badly need coaching and a system to suit

It would be good if Mason stayed on but as he's been so vocal about wanting the role I think it's probably best for his career if he moves on. He doesn't seem the kind of personality to undermine the manager but his influence could certainly be perceived that way if results are not positive from the off.

in that He was one of the players Poch got rid of?

I also recall Jose had a new Assistant (Sacramento?) when he came to us and he allegedly caused a load of grief.

 

[Albertbarich]

I like the idea of Postecoglu with Mason as first team coach under him.

After reading some of the stuff on here about him, he’s my 2nd choice

 

[Erik ten Hank]

 

[funkycoldmedina]

Imagine being that articulate in your 2nd language. Clearly a highly intelligent and focussed man. My top choice

 

[wiggo24]

Just me that isn't *that* impressed with this? It's just a normal, calm manager speech, nothing special. I like Slot and he seems like a good guy but not sure that video shows anything particularly inspiring or charismatic.
