The journalist at BILD must be pissing his pants.

He's probably reading TFC now and seeing everyone wants Rangnick here and just rolled out a tweet to get everyone excited.

So much fun could be had with this!




He better not be joking though.
 
It is very hard to parse what a marriage of Levy and Rangnick would mean for Spurs at this juncture. So many question marks.

And let's be honest, as a head coach he hasn't been THAT successful, and has never left Germany.

I think we are collectively willing things into reality. Kind of like when we signed Ndombele.

I'm glad everyone's happy, but this has the smell of a much-hyped five-year project and radical restructuring of the club operations, a firm declaration that Son and Kane are not for sale at any price, and then us playing like a limp, midtable Liverpool cover band, the same backroom chaos and brinksmanship as always in transfer dealings, and a sacking in 17 months followed by losing Son and Kane for nothing.

Rangnick the manager is a 60-something Bundesliga journeyman whose once-revolutionary tactics are now utterly commonplace, and I'll believe we're actually empowering Rangnick the executive and organizational mastermind when I see it.

Levy sees "foreign tactical wizard" and "does more with less" and his eyes light up. It's the same old story.

Has he won anything outside the pub league that is a Rangers-less SPL? Seriously, the last few years have been the absolute definition of a one-horse race.

Potter meanwhile won umpteen promotions and the cup in Sweden with the equivalent of Macclesfield. Beat the Goons at the Death Star too.

Rodgers at Liverpool - well he blew the title in the most ridiculous way. 3 pts at Palace (3-0 up with 10 mins to go) and one at home to Chavs would have done it. And the next season - buying Balotelli? Really? A player that NO ONE has been able to motivate?

By the time he was sacked he'd lost the dressing room, no one was bothering to run.

Potter has never managed a big club, but Rodgers has and failed. Potter as far as I can tell has never lost a dressing room.

Wasn't Potters team in Sweden bank rolled though?

I genuinley think Sean Dych has more credentials than him

Seems like the best option though no?

Hard to say, what's the plan?

I think some of the excitement around Rangnick comes from the perception that his appointment would mean Levy getting out of the way. I think that's both dubious and also not a plan in itself.

At least with Ten Hag, the idea that he'd walk into the current dressing room and set this group up to play better football had surface-level plausibility.

The Rangnick project of people's dreams faces three threshold questions, is Kane staying, is the project adequately funded, and does Rangnick actually have control?

It's impossible to give a firm "yes" to any of those things on April 30, 2021.

Interesting if we have offered it to Rangnick.

A clear admission that we need help structurally.

Well we do so there's that.

Again, I don't think Levy can check his ego enough to let someone like Rangnick in the door because he doesn't take this job without a great deal of control and would pull a Bielsa and just quit if Levy tried to go back on it.
