No but I’d be up for him making the changes to get it there.
Most important is that our board is going to love buying the players he wants bc they will be young with resale value
Mind you... This time last season, we were all happy - and desperate - for Arteta to stay!!
Fans can't predict the future... they just can't shape it either!
I'm somehow less worried about the managerial appointment than I am about our summer business. So far we haven't been linked with anyone that would be an out and out disaster.
tedesco23 did raise a very good point though, if Poch ends up going to Chelsea and gets an immediate tune out of them, while we go through some growing pains will create a potentially very toxic environment.
Yeah the recruitment this summer is so key. If Slot comes in he will need young, enthusiastic and energetic players. A lot will need to go. I think the fans have the stomach for that for sure, but based on history, I just don’t see Levy having it and obviously that’s a gigantic problem.
There’s no point at all bringing him in if levy expects him to get a tune out of the current squad. None at all.
Slot is there like an open goal, but you wouldn’t bet on us not turning it into an own goal.
Why does anyone give a shit if the fans can’t handle a project?
They aren’t the ones making the decisions. If the board pull the plug early because of fans then they’re the ones who can’t handle it.
I’m getting bored of people talking about the fans ability to be patient when the board are the ones who should be deciding this.
A lot of fans don’t know what they’re talking about so for a football board to set their footballing plan based on that is stupid.

That’s a good start though isn’t it?
I wish I could confidentially say that surely Levy and the board don't think anyone is getting a tune out of some of these players, but then again it should've been clear after 1, maybe 2 managers, yet we somehow made it to 4, and those players are still here.
I don't really disagree with you, but I'd say all recent managerial sackings were caused by fan unrest. It's a lose lose situation for the club really.
Quite right , us fans might not know much about football , unfortunately Levy knows absolutely nothing about football, zero , sweet FA . The evidence is in , after 23 years you don’t make the monumental size cock ups he does if you have even the most basic knowledge of the game . He has occasionally been lucky , but his decisions over the last 5 years , when having 18-23 years experience show that any good decision was simply law of averages , ( a stopped clock being right twice a day scenario)
Only my opinion , but nothing he does on the football side gives me any confidence he has a clue . He is getting worse not better and he set a low bar to start with
Poch carried the clown
I truly dont get the viewpoint our squad doesnt suit Slot so dont bring him in. Does that mean we're keeping this squad together? No one is getting a tune out of most of these players. Whoever comes in we need a massive clearout. If Slot favours young players at least he's on the same page as our transfer philosophy unlike Mourinho and Conte which is why they were never going to work.
That did cross my mind, but it will mean the board will have to seriously commit to this guy because the squad will need a major overhaul which I've always thought Levy is against. He seems to think the squad is fine and it's up to the manager in charge to make it work.
Levy is very reluctant to get rid of players because he knows he has to take a financial hit. Very few of our squad have the capability to play the high intensity extreme pressing game that Slot wants. How many of our players under 24, extremely fit, willing to relentlessly run and press?
Not sure if he's the right option, because Spurs is a complicated club and there will be a lot for him to deal with. On the other hand: he actually IS a very good coach. I'm sure he is fit for the PL but maybe needs a more stable employer.
Agree, I think a large portion of fan base wouldn't begrudge replacing alot of the current team with youth who you can truly get behind and encourage. Those willing to run relentlessly for a cause.
Oliver Glasner has to leave Eintracht (don't ask me why!!!!) - I could actually imagine him as a good manager for us!
We're gonna keep going through managers as long as the bulk of this shitty squad remains.
They're gonna come in, full of confidence they can get them singing again. They might get a tune for a while but it never lasts. Then the once confident manager realises he's not getting the quality he needs and starts looking and acting glum, bored and disinterested. They keep making decisions that bring their end closer and closer.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Suffer.
Being the best we can be at football isn't top of the companies agenda. A steady flow of any type of people into the multi purpose arena all year round is all that matters.
We don't matter.
Our opinion isn't important.
There is no plan to become a consistent challenger on the pitch.
As long as there are events in the stadium, we're golden.
COYE!!!!
(come on you events)

I agree with you 100 % but what clubs don’t have is actual football people running the clubs. They are businessmen who don’t know a ball from a banana. Why clubs bring in a Director of Football who’s never played baffles me. That position could and should be filled by an ex player preferably a Tottenham one. We have loads of ex players we trust that could and would do that job.
Bayern Munich fill their club with Bayern people and it works for them.
We are a club that has elite status but we are so far away from acting like one. Elite clubs take risks to be successful. We are the safest club in the league. Cash rich,will make money constantly through the stadium but miles away from being a Man Utd,Liverpool,City,Chelsea,Woolwich and now Newcastle are going to go past us.
Playing safe is a much higher risk than the risk these other clubs took.
