Next Spurs Manager (No longer with groundbreaking 'Change vote' functionality)

[wiggo24]

Pochettino has taken us from top 4 challengers to a top European Club in terms of squad and infrastructure to match.

Mourinho would then make us a Top European club with trophies to back that up and, at the very least, a culture of winning which we haven't had in years.

Even if Jose only lasts 2 years, if he changes the mentality of the club from being the "nearly men" to winners (even if it's just a couple of domestic trophies) we'll be set for some real success. At that point, we can appoint another young talented manager to build a project based on winning trophies rather than just getting top 4.

Personally think a combination of Pochettino and Mourinho would transform the club even if it all eventually goes tits up with Jose.

So many players who are considered great, come in from abroad and struggle initially and often permanently in the PL. Same thing for managers so Ancelotti is a good call as he has succeeded here. Allegri not proven in the PL but is an intriguing proposition.

If Mourinho wasn't such a poisonous **** he would be perfect but just couldn't get my head round him being our manager. The Spanish Waiter could do well but $$$ talks for him so not sure it will happen. Rodgers doing well at Leicester so cant see him leaving.

If I had to make a call I would say Howe is a Levy type of appointment if not mine.

I think if Poch was to go, Levy will look at someone slighty younger than Ancelotti - perhaps Allegri but i somehow think that Howe, Tuchel or Ten Hag, Rodgers fits his category: Young(er) and long term.
If it was for a short term then Mourinho (for stability and respect of players, perhaps to win something).
Personally, tactically speaking, ive always liked Allegri

If Jose can manage United after Chelsea(after years of title rivalries), theres no reason why he won't/can't manage Spurs. He is not a fan/supporter of any of these clubs.

If you say it is 'widely accepted' he is a dinosaur, it is also 'widely accepted & factual' that he wins at every club.

Poch has had SIX years at helm. I am ok to give him another 6, if team is playing for him. But lets be honest. Our players say they are playing for him , yet we concede 21 goals in 10 games this season & are having relegation form since feb in league.

Yeah United - Chelsea rivalry is the same, okay mate... that’s all you had to say!

Well , its alright when you could imaginarily come up with a line that Jose won't take Spurs role.
Did he say that anywhere ? As of his 30th sep interview, he only ruled out Serie A. And that is the fact as of today. He may well go back to Madrid.
Given he already accepted another club in PL (who were on the slide) , then there is nothing to suggest that he wont take up a 3rd managerial role in PL

Whilst I’d be happy with Jose for the reasons you’ve said, I think it would be foolish to assume that appointing him would virtually guarantee us trophies. We are Spurs after all .

Mourinho always ends up at clubs that attract top, ready made players and then spends gargantuan amounts of money bringing them in. He's also signed an absolute boatload of dross for colossal amounts and let the likes of Salah and DeBruyne slip through his fingers.That ain't gonna work with us or Levy. He then invariably poisons the place and buggers off leaving a proper shambles that takes years to sort out. We are not an attractive prospect for the players Mourinho would want, and lest we forget, the football he serves up is turgid shit. As I've said repeatedly, he's the epitome of a flat track bully, both in terms of football and the way he treats staff and players alike. In case you're in any doubt, I despise the arrogant prick and would rather we appointed Tony effing Pulis.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I didn’t follow Allegri closely at Juventus, but thinking about his time with Cagliari, he makes me think of the manager Levy would like to find and Pochettino would want to be.

Don't be daft.
This is a fan forum, for people to discuss the club they love.
Just because fans are showing concern over the current situation at the club, doesn't make this place toxic.
I've not noticed any vitriolic craziness, just people sharing opinions and discussing possible options or solutions.

You are right but precious little support is in evidence for the club, the manager and the players.

Will you be negative when mourinho comes in and drops Jan from the team? You were in the beginning of the season but i can't see any trees pulled by Jan so far.

If Jan is fit & ready physically and mentally, he starts for me. At the same time, he is 32. I dont think we can demand more from him this season- we have to manage him better, if that means playing only once in a week.

Same for me. Not followed Allegri too closely. There are reports that Allegri is learning English at present.
But feel he will be a risky appointment given
i) He has played & managed only within Italy. He has not stepped outside Italian shore till date for football
ii) He managed the number 1 Italian team to title but then, didnt cross Quarter Finals in Europe, in his 5 years at Juve or 4 years at Milan

Aside Mourinho, I am more inclined to Rafa than Allegri - feel pound for pound a better manager , as long he is supported by fans & Levy

or as a backup and providing experience to the younger ones. i think he is declined as was Moussa so rapidly.

But my question is will mourinho be considered a bad manager in your views?

 

[king26]

dont know why people want mourinho hes a managerial dinosaur and look at the state he left manure in

This is a hypothetical question given we dont fully know Jan's situation this season. Knowing Jose likes experienced head, I would say he will play him. But then , when there is talent, who he thinks is better, he could use the youngster too...He bought Varane from Lens to RM when he was just 18 & started playing him in the XI the same 2011-12 season

Yeah but Harry outfoxed him at the San Siro with Lennon and Crouch

Yeah, you're sadly correct - perhaps should have made it more obvious that I was being hypothetical.

Having said that, I do still think that, in theory, Mourinho offers the best option in terms of providing short-term success/trophies given his experience of the league and trophy record literally everywhere he's been.

I was just asking because supposedly one of the problems in first few games was not playing Jan and you were not in good mood. And he did nothing so far worthy of keeping his position, I was just asking your stance on it.

Tbh I knew you were, I just used it as a way of getting in a cheap shot self deprecating half joke on our behalf.

It’s now sadly got to the stage where I can feel all the old Spurs gallows humour rising up from the deep.

Whilst mourinho can be called into question over his behaviour at times his status as a winner is not in doubt his CV is up there with the very best.
