Liverpool, City, utd and Chelsea all have bigger wallets than we do.
Our owners are not going to subsidize the club. Nor do United’s or Liverpool’s. They all run a for-profit model — as do the owners that I know.
The best you can hope for is increasing wages to attract better players and to recruit better.

These guys have had their chance , they are shit owners and should just fuck off....we are a laughing stock, who never attempt to win anything, and I'm frankly sick of it...
I enjoyed watching the team way more during the 90s and we were not always very good, but this souless shit with these pathetic owners is soul destroying...personally I would have rather stayed at the lane and actually invested in the team when poch had us actually daring to dream...get ready for another bullshit summer of disappointment as usual

I just can't get over the fact that Porro and Udogie become immediately worthless. We're already in such an impossible situation, how can we justify adding that additional mountain to climb just based on "oh, he seems like he might be a good coach"

We have very few assets who project to be quality contributors in two years. A manager that shortens that list seems like an undue handicap, to me.

And then if we're changing his system, how do we know we're getting the same Slot that Feyenoord has?

And that's leaving aside the technical needs.

We're so much closer to playing German 3-4-3 heavy metal pressball than we are Slot's stuff.

The true Tottenham way.

Buy players for a specific manager for a specific formation. Fire that manager. Go in a completely different direction. Spend years trying to revamp the squad without making any progress
 
Arne hopefully is the one now.

Getting the right DOF is still more important. This guy oversee the footballing strategy for the foreseeable and outlast the next head coach hopefully.

As far as manager goes, despite being more excited about people like Nagelsmann, De Zerbi and Slot, I still think the most sensible choice for the mess we are in would be someone like Potter. He's a good coach, doesn't spend every fucking week blubbing to the media about only being able to work with the shit he's got, can work with footballers who aren't superstars and improve them, he won't be a tactical shock to our system - more a progressive evolution and won't render people like Porro, Spence and Udogie useless immediately.

Potter wouldn't get most of us sucking each other off, but would probably be a very shrewd choice if given some time to work.

That said, he doesn't even seem to be in the running.

I feel your pain. Anyone who can look back on the Sugar years with more satisfaction than the last decade definitely deserves my sympathy.
 
Pack the poll in the only man it's going to be is Brendan Rodgers. No fee attached to a club to bring him in, experienced in the league and plays good football. Would be his highest paid job so he would come no doubt.

Easy decision now to be honest with the options available and I think he will do alright

It's done our run as a genuine good club is gone and we need to rebuild and I think Rodgers will be the man

The board are still poisonous snakes and I hate them

Why do people keep posting betting odds as if they are of any consequence?
If we're going off punters' opinions, I'd put just as much faith in a TFC member pulling a name out of their arse.

Besides, that list isn't half bad besides Brenda and Mason (who just needs more first-team coaching experience somewhere else first). We've lost the best 2 candidates for the role in Nags and Poch.
 
Going by my votes on this poll, it seems Slot will be the next one to tell Levy to fuck off (my other 2 were Poch and Nagelsmann...)
I wouldn't be as much against Potter as other people would. As I've said, the main negative thing he has is that he's ex-Chelsea.
I really, really hate the idea of Rodgers, Glasner and Thomas Frank.

Either way, whoever comes will be doomed from the start. It's been proven now that this club doesn't care about glory on the field, only "+s" on the financial statements...

Agree on DOF.

If they wanted Potter they’d have done it by now.

Unless he was the first back up to Nagelsmann.

Agree to a large extent, but like nearly every signing, be it player manager, it takes so long and we rarely have cause to look back with justification.

Ultra important we get it right but the longer the wait the more entrenched the viewpoints and that will only lead to disappointment.

I think Levy needs however to get on with an appointment, kmowing what the fans want and knowing that whoever it is will need to be backed.

Add to that he’s played a 3 at the back system at both Brighton and Chelsea.

Potter would be my choice now, but equally would be happy with Slot or Amorim.


As for being in the running, the bookies don’t know anything. DoF is key as they’ll be the one to work with the manager and plan the summer window.

Why is it so quiet on Gallardo?

He’s another that wouldn’t mean Porro and Udogie could play in the same 11 for v him

Gallardo is a weird one. I'm not going to pretend I know anything about him other than some articles I've read, but what he did at River Plate did seem quite amazing.

Other managers seem to really rate him, but no club seems to want to go anywhere near him. Wonder if they all view him a bigger risk than younger championship/European managers.
