Next Manager Watch

[Timberwolf]

Worrying stuff.

Well he does end with this tweet which is encouraging at least:

2.5m for Ten Hag and his Assistant - fact.

It was reported that Slot would be available for 6m - fact

15m is almost world record buyout for a manager - fact

Slot was approximately on 1.25m a year before his new deal - fact

View attachment 127161

It gets reported once that Feyenoord would ask 15m for Slot and it's believed. If Slot wanted to come he would have forced his way out but he goes and signs a new deal?

The irony here

I don’t have Ange-Fever, I’ve caught full blown Postecoglouenza, and I’m starting to develop Postecogloumatoid Arthritis.

Think you need a little Ange Management tbh

 

[thelak]

We’re the Postecoglu boys making all the noise

everywhere we gooooo

 

[Whitey]

This is just speculation though. Slot had an escape clause next year.

It's just not realistic that Slot would cost 15m if Slot wanted to come. Managers just don't cost that much unless they are super managers like Nagelsmann or Potter who both went to clubs in the same division. The market for coaches is a lot cheaper, than players.

I think people just don't have a grip on what the market is for coaches buyouts. It's wildly different to players. If Slot wanted the job and Feyenoord were asking 15m for him, Slot would know thats unrealistic and be more angry with Feyenoord than Tottenham.

I think it's been reported that Slot gave Spurs one chance to negotiate, out of respect to Feyenoord. Spurs rightly or wrongly passed, as we all no Levy wants to dictate any negotiation.

I'm not convinced Slot really want jump ship after winning the the league and it all help seal his new contract. Levy knew this. Not sure Levy can be beaten with this particular stick. Many others just not this one

I think we should continue to make up numbers. Numbers that we will never know. About a manager that won’t be our manager.

On the basis this is the Next Manager Watch thread, let’s at least keep it to those who could be our next manager.

Thanks.

[cjsimba]

He’s magic ya nuuuuuuu
Aaaange Postecoglouuuuu

We’d have to be happy with sounding a bit more northern though…

With Munn & Ange at the club will that mean having a Barbeque outlet in the market place South Stand .

friend who is a celtic fan and contractor just received a request for bid for an unknown location. The tender was for the conversion of a cheese shop to a barbecue operation. Coincidence?

 

[mil1lion]

Spurs fans when they try to pronounce Ange's surname

 

[talkshowhost86]

I've just seen that he once managed Whittlesea Zebras

And they then become Brunswick Juventus

That's all I need to know...sign him up

 

[Bing]

What are the chances of South Stand having the harmonic capabilities to make something out of this one

 

[YIDfromtheLANE]

This is a good thread which details where he will have to alter how he plays to a degree for the PL

Has anyone gone on to listen to the interview with him provided by someone in the discussion thread in this? Go search for it, I’m not running the risk of duplicating links you’ve already posted here. Lol.

For me it’s a good insight to his mentality, his character and his personality. Lots of plus points for what I want to hear. Kind of guy you’d respond to and want to run through walls for him.

Few things on this:

- I think Postecoglou is far below the standard of manager Spurs should be hiring
- I think his previous achievements amount to very little considering where they took place, and are not a feasible barometer of his potential in the hardest league in world football
- I think it's an absolute shambles that Spurs haven't tied down a top manager (such as Nagelsmann) in recent days given the sheer number of managers available

Despite all that I am:

- Absolutely willing to support Postecoglou just a I would and always have supported any manager of our club - no matter my reservations it's in my interest to be proven wrong
- Perfectly happy to give him plenty of time to get the team in a place where he wants it, including turning over the squad
- Excited the potential if nothing else of exciting football, a manager who is articulate and clear, and a general improvement in the Spurs "mood"

However, given the propensity for managers to tell Levy to fuck off, the fact that we haven't yet sorted out a DoF (or seemingly if we even want one), and the absolutely vast amount of work needed on the squad this summer, I am in no way going to start getting any hopes up at this stage - we've been "on the verge" of signing several managers in the past who it turns out have been scared off by Levy.

So until it's done it's not done, and I'll stay firmly detached from it all.

You make a good point about giving him time - anyone coming needs to transform the squad and that ain’t being done in 1 or 2 transfer windows, we are on such a rocky road, I’m starting to feel this chap is the only one with big enough balls to take it on, so fair play

If Ange gets the job, this thread will be back in Nov/Dec. Hope I'm wrong.

You don't hope you're wrong at all, you're one of those that thrives in everyone being miserable and saying "I told you so"
