Jose has gone to Roma. That will reduce his compo package. Yah.

Management Poll: Who do you want most as our next manager?

I don't understand why Conte would be in that category when he basically plays the same football as Rodgers or Poch. Is it because he's Italian?
I would off. Point is the fans are pretty pissed off at the moment and the name we get is only important for a few days after. It’s the football we play that is the critical.
The stadium next season will be toxic as fuck if we don’t play attractive football. We CANNOT get a boring manager. It will go down like a lead ballon.
Flick has no track record, he's just a name because he's been babysitting a superclub.
Not as defensive.
4 games to go? Be funny if Brighton win out and are up to 10th or so. Still wouldn't impress some people.
Shit, it wouldn't impress people if Potter stayed, got a striker, and the moved up to 8th. They would praise the striker and still blame Potter for not getting 4th.
It's a boring back and forth now.

He won the CL and is the leading candidate for one of the best national teams in the world. But hey, Potter has a nice xG so he's got a track record...
Flick did it with the best team in Germany.. Granted he won the UCL as well, but he had the best players possible, and funds to do what he wanted with. He's never managed outside of Germany, isn't used to working with a limited budget and clearly wants the German national job.
Rodgers has taken a Leicester team from mid-table to top 4 and a cup final, all whilst losing players to other teams and injuries. He also knows the PL, works well with youngsters and can clearly work on a budget.
Which is a very valid concern. He does have significant bonafides as a guy who will coach an attacking team that wins stuff. But yeah, that youth problem is a no-go for us. Possibly the only remaining point of agreement between Levy and the fans is that the Academy and youth players matter to Spurs.
Out of the French managers I would look at Galtier. His Lille team plays good football. He's decent at integrating the youth. And his contract expires at the end of the season.
I like Potter but I think it's quite easy to see why some wouldn't be sold on him if they just look at the standings and don't really look much deeper than that. They're currently 14th yes, but they're on 37 points and 17th spot is on 36. Last year they finished 15th.
The results have honestly not been great if you're looking at him as a candidate for one of the top jobs in the country.
To the people who watch Brighton matches though, I think it becomes a lot more obvious why he's a good candidate. They really do play very good football, he's a great coach and gets a lot out of what he has.
I think he's a very good coach and a solid candidate for us. I certainly understand why people have reservations though if the just look at the league table, but he does bring a lot more to the table than that.
I think that the game has changed a bit since Poche joined, in that the PL has, if anything, become much, much tougher just by virtue of there being no idiots left managing clubs. I can't think of anyone who really has shown that ability to take a club well beyond the sum of their parts, other than maybe Christophe Galtier. And while I think he'd be brilliant, I don't know if he speaks enough English, he's never managed outside France, and he plays a very counter-attacking style, rather than the Spurs style, even though a much more offensive version than what Mourinho claimed was counter-attacking.
I think we have no clear candidate out there for us now. We don't have enough to attract Ten Hag or Nagelsmann, and there is no clear #1 choice representing "the next wave." I think we will have to accept that the next manager will likely be a transitional period where we rebuild around our fundamentals, transition the squad, and hopefully get direction and forward momentum back. Anything else may be gravy.
Galtier was assistant at Pompey I believe.
It went horribly but he has worked in England before.
Did not say anything different about the market trader but Sugar did manage not to bankrupt the club even if he lined his own pockets with the behind closed doors where Amstrad made the Sky boxes very dubious quid pro quo situation.
Haha, we mentioned Galtier at the same time. If he really does speak English, then great, interview him ASAP. It's not as possession-based as I would like, but he's definitely got the right managerial ideas and knows how to take a group of young players and get them to play good football.
