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

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Levy is truly finished now
At least we're not getting Sarri....
If our new manager needs to see guys like Sissoko, Aurier, Winks, Dier, Sanchez, Lamela in person to judge whether they should stay or not I hope we don't hire the dumb prick.
If he needs time in here to figure out whether we have holes at CB, RB, RW, Striker then again he is too fucking stupid to come here for me.
Using Conte vs. Poch if we are using Conte's 3 at the back system versus Poch and a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 that will have major impact on what we need. Getting one of them in early makes a ton of sense so we can start identifying players that fit the style the manager wants to play.
What if the manager coming in wants Daka? Well that could be done already before we even hire someone. Maybe Potter comes in and wants White, but United buys him next week, kind of sucks that we waited for no reason to bring in our new manager.
There is a reason why everyone else has hired there manager, why nobody else has gone this long without a manager before. It is ridiculous to claim that there is no rush to bringing in a manager and that this has been handled fine.

Of course not but I think Kane wants to go. Even selling Winks, Aurier and the other useless cnts is going to bring in some money for Conte to play with. He won't need extra mega bucks if we sell well.
The idea of the manager as the absolute final word on his squad is an antiquated notion in 2021.
City or Liverpool would both place a lot of trust in Pep or Klopp's opinion on a transfer and would obviously be loathe to piss off their golden goose managers, but at the end of the day those are well-run clubs because they think beyond one manager as the be-all, end-all of the club.

City is a terrible example - they hired their DoF and technical director purely to get Guardiola to join
They set everything up specifically for the manager
I also think Conte might/would make a better player out of Docherty, get Ali back on form, replace Ndomeble for a player of similar value but one that is more consistent at being good.
That's the thing they've got footballing decisions made by people who have an understanding of the game Mike Edwards and the ex Barcelona dudes, Txiki and Ferran Sorriano.
We've got Levy and Hitchen who pale in comparison.
I'm not saying you are wrong, or well I am, at least I think you are wrong. What I said in my last post is that you can not know this, it's a guess not fact
I believe that Ndombele and Lo Celso were Pochettino signings. I also beleive that Sessegnon was sanctioned by Poch. Mourinhos agent and friend Mendes administered the loan of Vinny Vincent and Gedson and the purchase of Doherty, guaranteed okd by Mourinho. Højbjerg was definitely a Mourinho purchase, probably Hart too. I'm not that certain about Clark, Bergwijn and Reguillon. But I think Bale was mostly Levy.
If I had stated what I think as a truth we would have had two truths. And that's not possible.
I don't see how he fits with the spiel about a manager in keeping with our traditions etc. All that points to Poch or a relatively inexperienced manager with a reputation for good football e.g. Potter.
Conte seems the exact opposite of what they were looking for in that statement. A proven winner but much more like Jose than any other candidate out there.
Levy has fucked it, even if we get Conte the time this has taken has already left a bad taste in the mouth.
I guess it all depends if people think our players need rockets up their asses or cuddles. Cuddles = play a bit better please - Rockets = buck up or fk off, even if we lose money on your sale.
Nah, I'm not really one for the sob story that everything is shit. With a decent coach, we could've been in the fight for the top 4 this year. With a few changes to the squad and that decent coach, we would be right back in the top 4. The Spurs fanbase is a bit overly emotional right now, and that's leading to a lot of imposed narrative getting ahead of the facts.
I agree but I don’t think they have a bottomless pit of money like Man City or Chelsea. So the situation is a different for Everton.
Begiristain was hired there in 2012. He hired Manuel Pellegrini and won a title before landing Pep.
The whole thing was built in the image of Pep's Barca of course, and he was always a target as the manager, but there is a bigger structure in place than just Pep, that will last whenever he goes.
Contrast with the Juventus guy that has been rumored with Conte. The two of them would arrive at Spurs together and beyond any doubt whatsoever would leave Spurs together, unless of course the Juventus guy left even earlier. Calling someone like that a "Director of Football" is a misnomer.
They just signed Alaba from Bayern on a free transfer so that's left back sorted with Mendy and Marcelo still at the club. They won't be buying Reguilon back
Why would the Juve guy leave with Conte. They don't follow each other everywhere. If he does a good job here and is happy and Levy happy with him then he will stay even if Conte leaves
