Management Have We Appointed Arne Slot Yet?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Right as Rain said:
Been watching Feyenoord quite a bit this season and especially since March when we were first linked with Slot. I’m very optimistic and excited for this project as his tactics are a great watch and his youth development is something this club greatly needs. I do have 2 concerns though

- We haven’t seen too much of him against experienced managers. He faced Mourinho twice these past 2 years in big knockout games and lost both ties. How will he deal with the big name premier league managers week in week out?

- Does he have enough pedigree to convince the big egos in our squad of his project? Or will he turn out to be another Nuno where the players are unmotivated?

Hoping both of these concerns can be resolved with time and patience

In fairness, two genuine concerns however...

1) The last loss against Roma was a very unlucky one where Roma equalised with a minute or so on the clock. Also, you'd have to say Roma's squad is a lot higher profile than Feyenoord's and only just squeaked past themm.

2) Hopefully he'll remove the big egos from the squad. If Kane, no matter how brilliant he is doing by himself, is hurting the team overall, then he has to go. Simple as that. We need a manager who is first and foremost, the boss.

Tough to judge Feyenoord against Roma when the difference in budget and European experience in the squads is night and day
 
I’ve heard he emulates Pep on a budget which is ideal for Levy who charges the highest seat and membership prices.

Slot a good that’s going to do him, whoever it is, it will be Big Sam by this Christmas or next. And we will be thankful.

More meat for the grinder.

It's too high to get over (fuck, yeah)
Too low to get under (fuck, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (fuck, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (fuck, yeah)

Edit, or maybe replace the ‘fuck, yeah’ with ‘Tot-Numb.’

Good luck if you really think he has the clout to remove Kane from the team.

How's he going to manage to do that with our lot?

Feels like a similar situation to Poch's arrival tbh. We had a gifted but disorganised defense that noone would have predicted to be the tightest in the league a year or so later.

Toby came in and immediately improved Vertonghen by covering Jan's attacking instincts. The shift to high pressing suited the likes of Walker and Rose who were more comfortable in the middle of the pitch, and Dier was played in a holding role that fell into a back 3 when the fullbacks moved into attack. I think (from memory) that was how Poch managed an attacking press.
 
Admin Admin - can we merge the other slot thread into here too?

I see but we don't have forwards that can press and our defence is full of errors.

Richarlison has been a flop in the same mold as Locelso
