Made his name at Swansea thanks to all the work Huw Jenkins and Martinez done with setting a style of play up throughout the age groups, and because he is a former Chelsea youth coach (something the majority of fans I've talked to dont want, a former Chelsea coach) he brought in Scott Sinclair

Went to Liverpool, had a brilliant front 3, Sturridge he got due to his Chelsea connections as in not coached him, but having a good name with well connected Chelsea people, and lied to Sterling multiple times to the point he requested a transfer and got one to City

Then moved to Celtic when they were still dominating, according to Celtic fans lied multiple times to Ntcham & Edoardo and is the reason for the current unrest within the squad after feeding them shit

Now he is at Leicester, a brilliantly well run club, who's scouting I would say is fantastic but let's be fair they have common sense when it comes to recruiting

Walks into a team with brilliant young players that are willing to listen to him, does well, but lack of rotation threwout the season and the fact he has fell out with Maddison is the reason they are running out of steam for the second year running

All my opinion

But thats why he's a fraud, if he comes here, we will probably pay a record fee for a manager to get him out his contract, and he will be gone within 2 years of being here

Fraud?! Hahahaha. Pretty successful manger = fraud? Jesus Christ. Get a grip.
Also you make bullshit statements like falling out with maddison and running out of steam: currently beating man it's 2-1 and 3rd in league... I'd love that kind of fraud as our manager. You sir, are an utter prick.

Honestly I can't shake Marcelo Gallardo and if some reports of it not being a name on the media list that will get it, I just think he fits the bill too well.

Hes turned down clubs it seems that are the step below us, he would know all about us aswell being Pochs friend and fellow countryman. Apparently West Ham and a Everton are the clubs he turned down previously. A few rumblings from River Plate fans also thinking it could be spurs to finally take him abroad.

My head says Levy is pushing for Rodgers really. My heart is begging for us to try Gallardo

I think Levy showed it when he hired Poch so it isn't like he is totally against it.

Let's be real here. Levy loves the idea of a project IN THEORY. But has never stuck to one in practice when the going was tough.

Poch was hired in title and role as head coach by Levy with Franco Baldini still significantly involved in the setup. By Thanksgiving of his first season Poch was on the ropes and on the verge of being sacked.

Then we battered runaway eventual champions Chelsea on New Year's Day, won that thriller over Woolwich shortly thereafter, and Levy saw not that Poch was philosophically willing to play good football with youth, that he was actually capable of winning big while developing youth.

The Poch project actually started that next summer when Baldini left and Levy did what he has never done for any manager before or since: flog off dead wood for less than what he paid.

You and I see very much eye-to-eye on what the proper way to run a football club is. But only one of us is being clear-eyed about Tottenham, its leadership, and where it stands in this moment.

There is no project here when the chairman is Daniel Levy and so much of the player capital is tied up in two late-20's attacking players.

Leicester are 3rd over 35/36 games. They are in the FA cup final, beating a full strength Utd side on the way. They are outperforming several clubs with bigger resources just as they did last season. They were going absolutely nowhere under Puel, they were a dull mid table side. You might not like the bloke but he's done a great job there whilst playing good football and integrating youngsters.

Well if we aren't doing the right thing then at least I would want to watch the football we play, so in that case an easy no to Allegri.

I am suggesting moving out guys like Aurier, Sissoko, Winks, Dier, Sanchez, Lamela, Moura and bringing in guys 24 or under.

Doesn't have to be a negative net spend. In an ideal world we would be bringing in guys like Kounde, Kessie, Camavinga, Sancho etc. All who would cost a ton.

But more realistically looking at guys like Olise, Periera, White, Todibo, Botman. Guys who people will complain are too young or not enough experience.

The example for me is Sabitzer who is linked with us. Rather than bring in an expensive 27 year old like Sabitzer who is closer to the decline that growing, lets pay less to get a young guy who can turn into what Sabitzer was when he was at peak 2 years ago.

At 27 you should be at your peak ?

For most attacking players, yes, that is generally one of the peak years. It depends on position, but for a striker or AM, 25-29 is generally peak, wingers a little younger, fullbacks as well, and centrebacks are often only starting their peak at 27. Keepers might not hit peak until 30. It varies depending on minutes played in younger years and injuries, but as a rule, generally holds true.
