Agree. I don’t get the love for Amorim, he plays the exact same way as Conte, a 5221, and their title winning season they played deep counter attacking football. Must admit I haven’t watched them that much lately but would expect it to be the same with Coates at CCB. The guy to look at in Portugal is Roger Schmidt, he has Benfica playing some great football
 
He's also got a lot of experience coaching in different places, with squads that he cannot just buy and sell players for. He's had to coach players, teach systems, and has beaten big teams, and won titles. He's not a huge name, but he's a very competent professional who would give us a 3-year base of attacking football and modern systems while we got this club turned around.

Sell Kane, Son, most of the centrebacks, and we'll go with a 433 with plenty of creative wide forwards. Start next year with Gil and Deki either side of Richarlison, give the kids a shot, grab some more kids, play a 3-man midfield so we stop getting over-run game after game, and let's see what happens. We won't be league beaters, but we'll have fun and it'll be the start of something, rather than holding on to the end of something already gone.

As much of a waste of time as Conte if he isn't being backed.

VVD, Alison, Nunes, Dias, Kieta etc.
He's exactly the same as Conte. he has a system and he has to have the right players for it to succeed.
The players he had are getting too old and the others are injured and, just like at Spurs right this moment, his house of cards is falling down.

klopp doesn't get any backing at Spurs. He's not gonna get a £70m keeper to replace flappy Lloris. He's not gonna get a £75m CB to replace brainshart Dire.
He's not going to get a £90m wide forward to replace a shockingly declined Son

We've also run out of assets to sell to raise monies. Kane at 29 with 18 months left on his contract is no longer a £100m player
At the moment, I doubt anyone would pay £30m for Son
We might break even on Romero? He's no set the league on fire.
Can't sell Kulu as we haven't actually signed him.
 
I would rather have Ryan Mason than some of the names being bandied around here.

It shouldn’t be hard to find a Tottenham manager. Just find someone who:

1. Plays proactive football
2. Has never managed a super-club
3. Is happy to work with younger players

All our good managers in the PL era have been of that type.

That’s what annoys me the most, it isn’t that hard to do this shit. But levy makes it incredibly difficult.

There are a ton of managers that fit that profile, but they don’t hire them.

Im really starting to believe he’s doing this because he wants to win something fast with Kane, maybe if he gets sold this summer he’ll finally see sense.

And also when half the players who downed tools last time he was here have all left!
To be honest i dont want him back again anyway, if he flops and wins nothing again it will just tarnish his time here even more!

Good point. I'd like to see him come back only when the odds were stacked highly I'm his favour. For example if Elon Musk decided to invest his fortune into a whole new squad of superstars.
 
Poch caught lightning in a bottle in his time at Spurs.

That won't happen again and you'll all end up hating him and wanting him sacked.
Prime Lloris, Alderwiereld, Vertonghen, Walker, Rose, Dembele, Wanyama, Dele, Eriksen, Kane, Son, with back ups like Lamela, Chadli, Dier, Llorente, Davies, Trippier

We absolutely KNOW we won't ever be able to replicate that kind of squad. The cost for a start. Only Son and Lamela cost over £20m and many of them were signed for under £10m
Poch wasn't the scout though, lets be real.
