The problem is that ENIC isn't a side issue - they are an intrinsic part of whatever happens with whoever we appoint.Tuchel is a better manager than Conte in 2023. His 5back at Chelsea was elite at sustaining pressure (via a high press) which is what we fail to do under Conte. He's a top 5 coach in the world. This reaction is amusing, we literally couldn't appoint a better manager. I have concerns about him in the transfer market but as far as tacticians go he is absolutely one of the best. Plus, just because he managed Chelsea doesn't mean he couldn't oversee a rebuild with us. And yes Enic blah blah but he's still the best possible coach we could appoint.
Trouble is that if we go for a modest project coach, people are likely to think that we are almost going backwards and reverting to our pre-new stadium strategy.Tuchel and Poch would both be decent short term but would both implode before too long. Tuchel because he's Tuchel and Poch because of the baggage and expectations. I think we'd be back to square one within 18 months - 2 years if we bring in either.
Risky, but I think Postecoglou would be a fun, progressive appointment. Seems like a top bloke too.
The Sporting guy, Amorim, also makes sense from a squad perspective as he plays with a back 3 but don't know a huge amount about him.
Frank would be a safe pair of hands. Very likeable and can play with a back 3, but his style of play at Brentford is quite direct. Would he adapt that at Spurs or would we be seeing a lot of long balls?
Gallardo would be a sexy, unknown pick - very high risk/reward - that could explode in our faces.
Overall I'm more keen to bring in more of an up-and-comer who plays nice football rather than a proven winner with high demands like Tuchel, as that clearly doesn't seem to fit with our model (or lack of model).
Well I think whoever the new manager is, they will get a lot more investment than Poch did during the stadium-building years so maybe going back to a more modest managerial appointment but with some cash to back it up isn't a bad thing? That's kind of what Arsenal did: picked an upcoming manager they believed him and then backed him in the market.Trouble is that if we go for a modest project coach, people are likely to think that we are almost going backwards and reverting to our pre-new stadium strategy.
Pretty sure we all said that when Conte joined….Its got to the point where if Tuchel joined and he got more broken promises and fell out with Levy, he'd have nobody else to blame but himself
Only for Levy to then appoint a manager that plays defensive, counter attacking football....The one positive with Tuchel is he’ll implement a pressing structure. He’s always been good at that and has done it wherever he’s gone.
This way, when he inevitably falls out with Levy in March 2024, the next manager will have players who know how and when to press.
so what you are saying is that Tuchel could get success with the current quad? Daniel?Tuchel is a better manager than Conte in 2023.

Well he got fired shortly after Chelsea spent 278 mil last summer so maybe he’d be keen to go back to his BVB and Mainz days of low spend transfer windows.so what you are saying is that Tuchel could get success with the current quad? Daniel?

If Kane is leaving them hiring a coach who does best without a true striker would be planning for future to be fair. Don't know a coach who could handle it better, maybe Potter or De Zerbi since they are/were dealing with Welbeck in attack. We are much less attractive without Kane for any coach though, and many of them would want their players and wouldn't trust Paratici or Levy.Tuchel is a very good coach but this reeks of Levy being an opportunist rather than having a well thought out plan.
From a distance it looks like this is the 4th time Levy is trying to emulate Chelsea's success without providing the coach the same resources that Chelsea have.
Think this is very harsh reasoning to imply that Tuchel is a better manager than Conte.Tuchel is a better manager than Conte in 2023.

I’m not talking about quality, it’s the structure. Tuchel’s wing backs are always very aggressive and back up the press whereas Conte’s don’t because the latter chooses a more passive approach. Tuchel’s block is typically higher than Conte’s. It wins the ball back higher up and sustains pressure in the opposing half. This is structural.Think this is very harsh reasoning to imply that Tuchel is a better manager than Conte.
Yes, Tuchel’s back 5 was elite but it’s pretty unfair to label it all down to coaching.
To compare, Tuchel had the pleasure of coaching a back 5 of Chilwell/ Rudiger, T. Silva, Azpillicueta/ R. James. With a prime Kante covering in front of them.
Conte on the other hand has had Sessegnon/ Davies, Dier, Romero/ Royal.
The difference in quality is monstrous and can’t be held against Conte’s coaching imo.
This is the reason Tuchel was able to completely dominate us with Conte in charge as well, despite our last gasp equalizer in the last matchI’m not talking about quality, it’s the structure.

I definitely see where your coming from, because it’s mostly what we’ve seen from Conte here. But I’d argue that the deeper structure is a result of our worse personnel.I’m not talking about quality, it’s the structure.
