Depressingly though,why would either join us?
Leicester are looking good for top 4 and invest wisely. They have backed Rodgers with funds and have a good scouting team.
Nagelsman knows full well he can have pretty much any job he wants...so..why would he go to us?
If either came to us they'd be given very little in terms of transfer budget,due to us spending so much paying Jose's compo and big stadium interest repayments (where due to covid we haven't had the gate receipts and match day income to offset).
Any future manager will be told they can spend what they can recoup in transfer fees from selling the existing squad. Which is very little unless we cash in on Harry...
We are a massive draw for any Manager in the game. We aren't an elite club but we have elite facilities, we, therefore, provide the manager with the same if not better than he would get at an elite Club.
The added attraction, especially for a young aspiring coach (so a Poch, Naglesmann, Rose etc. etc....) is the pressure of expectation is nothing like that experienced at an elite Club. (I think that is a possible reason why so many of the elite have recently opted to go for a playing legend (Zidane, OGS, Pirlo, Flick, Pep at Barca, as PSG is a new Club maybe that's helped Poch their too) too, as it gives them time if they struggle initially.
Our expectations have never been to win the PL or CL, unlike the elite Clubs who do have this as their annual expectation. Yet off the pitch, everything is already set up as an elite club, all the marginal gains afforded to elite clubs we have and some. On the pitch we have one of the best strikers in the World with at least 3 other Worldclass players, in addition to a squad that have competed at the highest level in both domestic and European competition (some might be at the end of their cycle, best make this judgement when we have a manager that knows what he's doing before we throw out the bathwater and the baby) and we have a very strong academy with some top prospects being spoken.
There are few football Cubs more attractive to join than us and for a coach like Nagglesmann, who's turned down Real Madrid because he saw the jump too big and he wasn't ready we are fucking perfect.
Poch didn't have all these pieces in place when he was our manager. He came to Tottenham when Crystal Palace was closer in revenue terms to us, then we were to Woolwich!!! We have now overtaken then financially and caught up completly with Chavs. He didn't have a home stadium for 2yrs! When he did get into the new stadium, we still needed to acclimatise as it was for all intense and purpose not home.
Everything is there and in place, all the staff that were pulled off running the Club to focus on building the stadium are also now doing their jobs focussing on football.
I knew he'd be shit but genuinely given what he's inherited he's been far, far, far worse than even I can get my head around.
For the right manager though, they can enjoy everything that an elite club can offer (including salary) without the pressure of expectation.
