Or it could be that they don't want to take over this team mid season putting pressure on themselves and would rather wait until the Summer, entireley plausible.

Whoever it is it would be better to get them in now, get them to assess the squad and what’s needed in the summer
It also depends on what one's definition of 'banter club' is.......
If all it amounts to at the end of the day is being the least successful of the biggest club in the country then yeh fair enough, guilty as charged, but any team below mocking us is only mugging themsleves off in the process....... Otherwise, "biggest banter club" is a sketchy concept and is very much swayed by the media agenda of the day and our own fan's excess propensity for self-derision & mockery (where once there existed a more healthy version of gallows humour).

I still think we will get Poch back. Not saying that is what I want, but Levy knows there is a huge part of the fanbase that still have emotional ties with Poch.
He is going to be desperate to get the fans back on board after what has been a shit season, with some of the worst football we have had to watch for years.

Baffled that I keep seeing suggestions of Poch , Nagelsmen , Amorim etc when it's clear and obvious what we need and who we should be appointing..
Bring her in !
Get it done Levy

In which case I'd suggest that a manager that can't cope with pressure isn't particularly ideal for us either...
Or just perhaps they are being entirely sensible and seeing it as a pointless exercise taking over with 10 matches to go, there's absolutely nothing beneficial in doing that.
If you take us as Spurs fans in a bubble, we're going to ignore the numerous divisions beneath us, and weaker leagues that can be deemed more or less irrelvant, and compare us directly against what we see as our peers.
At this very moment, we are probably the easiest to laugh at out of that select bunch. Even with Chelsea this season, you have the feeling that nobody would be surprised to see them come back and win the league next year. They have previous for this type of shit, so whilst enjoying their troubles, you can't laugh at them too much.
The media have us set as an easy target to laugh at, fans of our peers enjoy it, fans of shitcunt clubs like West Ham LOVE it, it's an easy win for them, and tbf we play our part in making it really fucking easy for them.
Of course being objective, we're not that laughable, but football fandom is hardly objective, it's like me bemoaning my financial status whilst in reality you could throw some stats at me to point out that actually I'm in the top 3% of wealth or some shit...
Why is it a struggle for people to accept that any waiting may not be driven by us?
The narratives are clearly already being woven now....
"We didn't get Naggelsmann cos we waited too long!"
"If we wanted Poch we should have got him in March!"
etc.
We're verging into the same territory already where people have revised history to imply that Nuno was anything other than a make-shift necessity cos we couldn't get any of our main targets.
..............Would any of you genuinely prefer us to make a half-arse choice from the bottom of our list just cos they are conveniently available now? The irony is off the scale if so.

They would get to have a direct impact on how we finish this season and what competition we will be playing in next year, they would have 1/4 of a season to assess the squad first hand and formulate a plan of action for the summer and beyond...
On this note, I would prefer our next manager to be up for the immediate challenge and the potential rewards, if we have a man in mind and the only reason we're waiting is because he's not, then he's not the man I want taking over.
Regardless, I'm highly doubtful that this is anything more than us simply not having a plan for what comes next.
I don't feel like this is relevant to my post tbf...
Re-read my first line, I'm specifically talking about the scenario where we end up appointing someone that is available now.
Nope, no Potter for me.
Which is an entirely pointless exercise seeing as 1/3rd of them will probably be out the door plus we have about a load of loanees coming back in the summer and a further 3/4 with long term injuries, what is there actually to assess?, a squad playing in a certain style and formation, it's pointless even trying to imprint a new style and philosophy on them especially when the directive is to get top 4, we need wins.
The squad makeup now is going to be very different come Summer time regardless, we don't even know if the star striker is going to stick around, I presume the manager would need know the kind of players coming in and who's going out before you even start to implement a style on the players.
There is one man I would take and it would require the Bald Cunt to back him completely and that is Mauricio Pochetinno. Fuck all the shiny toys like Nagglesman and Amorin just fix the mistake you made in 2019 and bring Poch back and give him what he wants.
Does it really matter who we appoint while the parasites are still running the show?
We need another arm round the shoulder type to free them up. Also they have to be an attacking coach. This group of players would embrace the freedom.
Which by and large is only the case because of modern-day trophy count (see my prev. post).
Chavs illicit a different kind of emotion, but no-one likes those cunts.
Other fans also take great pleasure from laughing at Man U, Arse, Dippers.... And as above, no-one likes the Chavs. Meanwhile twats like WH punch up at us because the small-time cunts know that Man U etc. are so far out of reach for them (even though in truth our trophy count makes us so too).
Hell, Talksport spent a decade mugging off the gooners and their fall from grace. It wasn't until we became a credible top 4-6 regular that the Sp**sy tag got bastardised from it's OG meaning, got seized upon by the media and took a lot of that heat off of them.
I get that; but it doesn't make comments like "we're the ultimate banter club" any more credible, nor Spurs fans making such comments sound any less self-absorbed for claiming it.
TL/DR? ......Ultimately; "fuck 'em all".
