Such a nothing argument, though. Who cares what he's won and what he hasn't won; when has it served us well before?

i dont know who youre talking about. not saying there isn't a player he's rubbed the wrong way, but I am Australian and when he was manager he was described as 'loved by his players'. He works them hard but he's also very fair. and Celtic's players have regularly spoken about the effect he's had on them on and off the pitch since he's been there.
Look, i actually don't think he's necessarily right for Spurs but i find the negativity to be ridiculously excessive

The same could be said for those who think people would be a smash hit before they’re even through the door.
The difference between Ange and Slot for me is whilst you can't judge either on their league form, you can judge them against better opposition in Europe. Ange record in Europe looks poor (Let's forget about CL) he was conceding goals for fun whilst Slot at least gave it a go against the bigger teams and got to respectable stages of the tournament, only to lose to Jose twice.
Ange got done comfortably by Bodo/Glimt. It wasn't even a contest

And De Zerbi got done by Sheriff in the CL while at Shakhtar. It means very, very little.
'Distant' because Australia is the other side of the world.

It’s not ignorance though it’s being realistic with where he’s at in his career and I don’t think that’s with a club of our stature. I respect your opinion though.
No. It will be in the eating of said pudding.

That league had a club in the UEFA Cup final last year, and has had van Dijk, Wanyama and Tierney develop there before becoming top PL players.
The skepticism seems to be due to other failures such as Gerrard, but this ignores the fact that Gerrard didn't fail at Villa because he cut his teeth in the SPL: he failed because he's an arsehole no one likes.

Yeah this is a major concern for me. Playing lovely footy in the SPL is great but frankly everyone bar Celtic and Rangers is genuine League One standard (if that). It's astonishingly shit.
Ange's record in Europe is dreadful partly because his Celtic side lack quality, which isn't his fault, but also partly because every time they play decent opposition their press gets ripped apart and they're massively vulnerable in transition. In the SPL you don't have that problem - you can commit loads of players forward without having to worry too much about the counter because the standards of opposition is so poor (and even then, Celtic's defensive league record isn't particularly impressive).
He seems like a cool guy and his philosophy on football is spot on for us but I really worry about his ability to adapt to what is now probably the most tactically complex league in world football. I'm concerned top managers would employ build-up patterns which would run rings around Ange's press.

Yes it could be. But at least give the person a chance either way, no?

I would still go all out for Nagelsmann and let him choose the DOF. However, assuming that is out of the question then out of the remaining options I really don’t get the huge reservations with Ange.
Tottenham as we are right now needs a big character and someone who is going to breathe positivity into every area of the club.
His age is irrelevant and so, imo, is the number of titles he has won and experience in England. Enrique, Slot and pretty much every other candidate on that list is a risk for the same reasons.
We need to fix the culture of the club, we need positivity and we need someone who will get us on the front foot. If we can achieve these things then I honestly don’t care who the manager is.
Also, see the Pochettino thread before we got him in. There were a lot of the same comments about him that we’re seeing in here about Ange.
