According to the link I just read; language was part of the problem too.
Pinch of salt tho.
That would be surprising as most Dutch people I have worked alongside speak great English.
So Ten Hag not good enough because he didn’t want to bring staff in, Conte not good because he wanted too many..... but Nuno is perfectly fine because he brought enough staff in..... ironically the worst manager by far out of the threeSurely the purpose of an interview is that you employ them if it feels right or don't hire them if it feels wrong.....?
Journalist explains how Erik ten Hag left Tottenham baffled in his interview before Nuno's arrival
At last, Tottenham have a manager. The club's lengthy search for José Mourinho's replacement is over, as Nuno Espírito Santo arrives.www.hitc.com
Funny reading this tho'.... Amongst other things; apparently we were perplexed by him not wanting to bring his own backroom staff. Yet, apparently Conte wanting to bring his own scarpered derailed that deal.... Amazing the contradictory bollocks one reads in search of the truth innit.
hey, that’s the info we’ve got... Paul is pretty reliable as far as I’m concerned.
Like I say.... Pinch of salt.....I particularly don't buy either end of the tale.
Lets assume it was true that ETH 'failed' the interview.... Only those in the inner circle would be party to the details and they're not gonna start leaking micro-details.
At most, word that he didn't impress circulates by putting 2 & 2 together based on the fact that he was known to inerview and yet didn't get the job. The gaps are just likely filled in by journo's that have no real reputation/credibility to lose to begin with.
All he says is that he thinks (!) someone else (who?) read it in an interview......
Here; wanna borrow my salt?
I wanted Benitez in the summer as I had realistic expectations and knew we were never going to get the likes of Conte, that was all transparent bollox to sell a few more season tickets.
Now that Benitez is at Everton, think I'm on the Potter train.

Can still get rafa before hes settled at everton or we will finish below them
Yes, but we could have had Conte.
That's the frustrating part about all this. We could have had a world class manager in charge, but we didn't want to pay world class money. And that's all on Levy
Thank goodness for Daniel Farke and Delia , we won’t finish rock bottom
I’m not sure I believe the report. Seems an awfully convenient thing to come out with today.
I don't think it was as close as people think, for me there is no coincidence with the fact that the Conte talk was right up until ST renewal and then it transpired we weren't getting him. I don't think he was ever going to come to a club with such a lack of ambition where he couldn't decide on the players he wanted.
Was always a smokescreen as far as I'm concerned.
We are about to get over £100 million of match day revenue by the end of the season. The money (including the tv money) will be there to spend. There will be zero excuses in the summer not to.
Busy (not busy) day for the rags it seems; fed by the NLD no doubt...... That Economist guy appears to have just been nothing more than shit stirring too.
Oh there will be plenty of excuses alright
There is not many excuses coming from the levy apologists in fact it's one way traffic, however Mr levy might be full of excuses wonder if he will issue an international break special message regarding DNA.
I'm hoping there will be some kind of special message outlining his intention to fuck off.
They are owned by a company that is going belly up and you know that. It's well publicised.

I don't think it was even as complicated or devious as that.
Conte has worked with Paratici (and other DOFs) before.
People always seem to come up with the "Season ticket hype" theory at many a club..... WH's lot complain about it every year and often the Goona too..... Dybala was allegedly another instance for us even though we weren't linked til after the ST deadline.
I think we simply had a sniff cos he was available....
Spurs: "Hey Tony... You fancy North London?"
Conte: "How much can I spend?"
Spurs: "Let's discuss...."
Conte: "Etc. Etc."
Spurs: "Sorry mate... Not gonna work for us... Cheers tho'."
