When I read that, all I see is Allegri, Potter, and Rodgers as serious, and Mason with the outside shot.You get the feeling it is either Potter or Lopetegui when referring to attacking possession based football and considering Rogers and Ten Hag are pretty much out of the frame now.
Rodgers, Conte, Lopetegui and fact or fiction behind 20 names linked to Spurs
There have been plenty of names thrown at the vacant Tottenham Hotspur manager's job in recent weeks but what is the truth behind them?www.football.london
At least Potter (who makes me shudder as a candidate) is something different.
18 people voting to bring Poch back are admitting they didn't think he had to go and would have somehow turned it around.
Which us admitting they had no idea he was done, wanted to leave and waited for Levy to sack him so he didn't lose his massive fucking salary.
I do understand that, and to a degree it will be true - but I dont think its the deal breaker you seem to -as Ive tried to explain above.
Ultimately Ive seen Brighton play through high pressing teams, open teams, and teams sitting back. So while, yes, some teams will treat them differently to us - I dont really think it matters as much as it appears you do.
In the example of teams like Bournemouth and Swansea (and I would want neither Howe or Martinez here, ever) there were similarities - particularly in the pretty attacking football - but IMO its a superficial thing. However, I think a lot of people seem to equate them as very similar/indicative to Brighton. (Structurally/size of club/journey - definite similarities, but not on the field IMO)
Brighton have a very good defense, fundamental in successful teams - and they are a very fluid team able to play tactically to suit (IE - Leeds, they ceded possession in certain areas compared to normal and effectively bossed the game). They always have numbers where they need them and so can play that football that looks so simple but is deceptive in its difficulty to execute.
I genuinely think he is a coach destined for bigger things, and were we to get him in he will transform us.
I never thought that of Howe, Martinez etc - there were always such glaring issues in their sides (and work).
Potter? I cant see the obvious weakness. Aside from the squad he has at hand, which really isnt his fault given he is at Brighton.
Seems to me the biggist issues with him is he is a Graham, is at Brighton, and is yet to prove he can do it at a big club. I think anyone who takes the time to really watch his side would think very positively of him.
Spurs need to make a decision quickly. Wether it’s Potter, Lord Voldermort, Conte or whoever, they need to start planning for next season. This summer is probably as important as ever in relation to Harry Kane, new manager and the transfer window
We probably already have.
Doesn't look like it. I'm pretty sure its going to be one of Rodgers, Potter or heaven help us Martinez. Possibly Allegri as an outside bet but not sure he fits what they seem to be looking for.
They on average have 51% of the ball if I remember correctly. They are not a constant pressing team. I swear people just don't watch football.
Take it from me. Have missed one game of theirs this season. They have not struggled against teams that sit in a low block. They struggle at finishing.
I definitely have those doubts about him. His teams have been shocking in Europe Thats for sure. If he blows top four again I think it’s a huge red flag.
Just seeing Martinez's name brings me out in hives.
Dude...my dude.
I really just want to say, your flip flopping is nauseating.
I can't imagine trying to plan a spontaneous dinner with you.
A lot of people go in about how well he did in Sweden
Not really a comparison in my book but he’s preferable to Southgate Martinez Rodgers Nuno etc
What’s Steve Bruce’s number?
Just imagine if he again misses out on the top 4. People would still want him.
The thing with Conte is I don't think he's someone you rebuild with. So if we get him, then the club thinks we can win now. If we are starting over, then Conte isn't the guy for the job.
