Apparently in his Bayern contract it states if he joins another club mid season then Bayern are due 17 mill. I don't know how that's possible if they sacked him, its weird as fuck imo. If true i don't think Enic will pay that 17 mill to hire him now.
He's on gardening leave.

Since they already hired his replacement; combined, it sounds like a constructive dismissal case in the making.

I don't buy all the current chatter.... Much like the 'if Conte gets top for he gets to trigger another year on his contract and cash in another 15m' stuff....

I think we're hearing more and more sketchy shit about contracts (and player contracts, clauses etc. too) that these hacks and twitter idiots aren't actually privy to or understanding of (with a little bit of lost I'm translation thrown in).

Hey - 'Nagelsmann' translates roughly as 'Nail Man'. Is there a better word or phrase in English? I thought it might be Blacksmith, but according to Google Translate it's 'Schmied'.
 
Spurs fans: we want Naglesmann or Poch

levy, Cullen and Paratici:

Welcome Nuno, he will make us proud

Assuming anyone would want to leave their current job for here, which is already a big ask,I'd look no further than De Zerbi,you can't fail to be impressed by the type of risk and reward football he gets his players to play, Brighton were ok under Potter but this bloke has taken them to a complete different level.

When you take into account that Brighton have the second lowest wage bill and have a total squad purchase amount that wouldn't buy a single Sock boy I'd be interested to see what he could do with a team of overpaid overpriced players.

Wait and see, Roger!

If we do indeed see him as Spurs' new manager, the hope remains that Nagelsmann doesn't mean he was the nail that got permanently hit on the head and is in fact more of a blacksmith!

I think CL with a new squad can be a hindrance for a new coach as there’s less time on the training pitch, more injuries and time in recovery. I think it’s different to players. A season playing the youth and reserves in europa might be ok
If we are in the Europa then we should definitely not play the youth and reserves as we should be in it to win it. This has been what has been wrong with this club and why Levy is under pressure from fans and the media for winning only 1 trophy in 20 years.
 
Good attacking football is a must.
I’ve got a very low bar for this manager search
Attacking football and someone who wants to be here would be a good start.
But seeing as Tuchel seemed to be 1st choice I’m not filled with confidence on who ENIC will go for
I’ll be interested to see what formation we pick v Everton as I truly believe the players in place are able to play a much better brand of football than they have been.
 
Maybe Poch is assessing his options for the Summer, wouldn't make sense for him to commit now.
The only way waiting until the summer is a good thing is if we have a manager in mind and he is currently committed elsewhere.

If we wait until the summer and get someone that was available now it means that either they wanted something better and ended up settling for us, or we wanted someone better and ended up settling for them.

But that in itself is wishful thinking I reckon, as it suggests some sort of plan being in place, whereas I fully expect us to sit on our thumbs until the end of the season, go on a 3 week holiday, and then start our search.

I'd be surprised if it's not Ryan Mason taking us to Perth to face the Spammers.
