What is wrong with Potterball? His teams play smart, open, possession based football that creates shitloads of chances. Like any manager he will need time to implement his ideas and fans will have to be patient.

Who are the names that excite you and why?

I’m not talking about the quality of his management more from an optics point of view. It will look like we’ve scrambled around for months being turned down by everyone and then gone back to another ex-Chelsea manager. But not any one, one that failed.

It’s not my view, but you can be sure it’s one that will be taken and a narrative that’s run with.

Maybe thats the trick. Successful Chelsea managers failed with us. So....if they failed there...Levy masterstroke incoming.
 
Ticks all the boxes.

Apart from being proven at a half-decent level. Eredivisie is so weak right now (fucking relegation threatened W.Ham can beat their top 4 teams) and Ajax are in a state, so essentially Feyenoord top the league ahead of a mountain of crap.

Happy to take a risk on a hipster's choice/fringe coach but Slot would be a huge risk, translating his success in a backwater league to the Premier League is a huge ask, and imagine your first genuinely huge job being this mess .. baptism of fucking fire.

Agree not impressed by slot

I'm neither impressed nor unimpressed, personally. I watched them concede 33 shots to Jose's Roma in the EL and that's it. Haven't seen enough of Feyenoord - much like many of the posters who want Slot in, I imagine.

I'm sure he's a very good coach but getting a team to play tidy football in the Eredivisie bubble is not remotely a guarantee of translating that to success at Premier League level. The demands & challenges at Spurs are mountainous compared to those at a club like Feyenoord.

Edit: I mean fuck, by far their highest rate export (Ten Haag) has had his fair share of struggles this season, and he was given license to go and poach Ajax's stars and the best DM in the world for 200 odd million..
 
If only there was a prem proven manager with a great track record who was available to get us out of this mess :pochsmirk:
It felt baffling a few weeks ago we werent in for him but there was always a thought it will be Naglesmann. The decision to not even contact Poch now seems negligent and incompetent. Ego getting in the way again
Now it really feels we're scrambling around again like 2 years ago. Thankfully there are still better options than Gattuso and Nuno but i dont have any confidence they'll make the right choice.

Was more with regards to ticks boxes when it comes to Levy.

Builds a team without a massive budget and overachieves even when star players leave. His CV proves it.
 
I think Poch will never come back to Spurs as long as Levy is at Spurs.

Correct if wrong, Poch cost Spurs over £100m in the form Ndombele and LoCelso.

Poch once said , it may take 2,3 seasons for a new signing to adapt for the PL referring to Ndombele. He was wrong as we all can see.
