Next Manager Watch

[jpascavitz]

Gold says that Tottenham can't hang around on this one. Like myself and others said on here, if you want JN (and are convinced he is the man for the job) you have to convince him one way or another ASAP, whether that be to take over now, in the Summer (with the potential short-term consequences of that), or by locking him in a cage until he decides to manage us.

The importance of this decision and where it lands us with Harry Kane cannot be underestimated, and we simply can't afford to get this wrong if we want to keep him.

I would be careful, as they pay out based on min 10 games, so if he is appointed in the summer would be a lost bet due to 11 games left of the season and if Mason takes over as caretaker, only bets on him would win

 

[SpursSince1980]

I could see them striking a deal now for Nagelsmann to take over in the summer. And possibly having Mason with Stellini see out the rest of the season. I know that seems strange as Conte will leave with his ‘staff’. But surely they can make a case for the aforementioned pair as caretakers until end of season if it means landing JN now.

I don't see any point in retaining Conte's services now. At best, the players will be determined to play in the Champions League next season, but if this is the case, it will apply irrespective of who is in charge.

At worst, having Conte around will make everyone miserable. I doubt he's popular enough for the players to want to bust a gut for him to give him a good send-off. So what edge does he give us now? Some tactical nouse, maybe? I'm not convinced, given some of the recent results.

Someone new might at least give the place a mood lift, even if it's an interim coach.

Yeah he so clearly wants to be sacked that he'll just make everyone's life hell and go on another rant if we drag him back for the Everton game. Would not only make the club look incredibly weak but would probably still end in the same result anyway.

If we can't agree a severance package and/or he's threatening to be litigious surely we just put him on gardening leave and Mason takes over.

Just don't see how he possibly comes back - even by Spurs standards that would be utterly absurd.

We shouldn't be worrying about who Kane wants. By all accounts, he was highly in favour of Mourinho and Conte and look where that got us.

 

[felmani26]

We know Levy is a big fan of Nagelsmann, but I wonder if Paratici is?

To be honest, that appeal decision can't come soon enough - we really do need clarity from all levels going forward into next season.

Its not about who he wants, its about who he'll stay for. He's our best player, and we can't let him walk away in a years time on a free to go to Man Utd etc. Therefore the importance of getting this sorted quickly and knowing where we stand with him so we can potentially sell him in the summer is high. Any potential manager will want to know if he's sticking or twisting too as it may well influence their decision.

In the meantime, we've gone through 3 rebuilds by 4 managers, including Nuno 2.0, Potter, Slot and Nuno: Reloaded

We have to Do what’s best for the club overall rather than a player with 1 year on their contract, the moment players get power over who comes in is when we will go downhill.

Yeah, I just want that hammer to drop at this point. So ready for it, and for at least a fresh start for 2/3 of the positions needing a refresh. I don't see Paratici being a good fit to identify players for Nagelsmann's tactics, personally.

Agreed, we need to know what shirt.


Also, I hope Levy comes to these talks prepared to go full-MacGruber:

Haven't seen any evidence of tactical nouse, unless you count bringing on a CB with a handful of minutes to go when we need a goal to stay in a competition. Conte has been bloody awful in that respect.

 

[wrd]

Nagelsmann really excites but I am concerned about the talk of his meticulous preparation and this screams, I need to control every inch and don't trust my players, which we've seen fail recently, sounds like he fell out with his players too. I'm definitely not saying we should avoid, I think we've been given a massive opportunity but he needs to be able to communicate and trust his players or else we're just going to see another temporary upswing and then the same pattern repeat itself, he has to master the human side of things, he's younger so he should be more attuned to the current players mentality compared to say Jose.

So is it Levy or Paratici on this one ??. It's a puzzle

It's an interesting point you raise, I think we have learnt that coach's system vs tactical ability are two different sets of skills.
