Not saying that Ali G is wrong. But he has a history of debunking stories that don't come from his club sources until he gets some form of confirmation that it has legs.

He always says things like "to my knowledge" or "at this time" to give himself some wiggle room if he does end up getting confirmation about it. He protects his sources within the club and they are probably not going to tell him who they are going for until it is more or less done.

If I had the same job as him and the same sources I too would play it as safe as possible.

Marcelo Gallardo reportedly turned down 2 premier league sides around Feb this year.
He has been linked to both Barca and Real Madrid.

That job has a lot of pressure, too. Supporters in Argentina and Uruguay are ruthless.

Steve Hitchen will play a pivotal part in Tottenham Hotspur’s recruitment of a new head coach, according to the Daily Mail.

Hitchen was promoted to the role of Technical Performance Director last September with his remit covering the responsibility of scouting, performance and recruitment analysis and youth recruitment together.

The report claims that Hitchen has identified Brighton boss Graham Potter as one of the names on the North London outfit’s shortlist.

Such is the influence that Hitchen carries at Tottenham, it is said that it will be the 44-year-old’s recommendations that will grace the table of chairman Daniel Levy for consideration to replace Jose Mourinho.

Hitchen is said to have earmarked Potter as a candidate given the fact that he wants the club to recruit a strategic coach, with Levy requiring persuasion that a younger, forward-thinking coach is what he needs in his next head coach.

Brighton are currently fourteenth in the Premier League table, having won just one of their last five top flight fixtures.

Reminder that Brad Pitt was 55 when he filmed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

JJetset is apparently saying that we have our new manager secured and it is our "number 1 target". Will be announced after the final game of the season.

ITK is of course always questionable. But JJ tends to be rather reliable so it is worth taking this into account somewhat at least.

And to be fair he poured cold water on the Ten Hag rumours the night before his contract extension got announced (contradicting the media at the time).
 
I want pochettino to come home. Absolute pleasure watching us under him. All levy had to do was give him money to rebuild. For me ten hag or conte although i have been reading were looking at coaches in bundesliga.

Why would you want someone who was clearly unhappy to come back to the same shit show he was unhappy with?

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
 
Remember just before xmas under poch we did the gooners at their place with dele alli scoring a beauty with 9000 tottenham fans going mental behind goal. Made my xmas that did. Hope poch comes home soon.

This.

I am all for Poch coming back one day. But it has to be in like 4-5 years when the squad is completely different and whatever professional issues he and Levy had are water under the bridge.

Going back this early will just be a mistake for all parties.
