I don't know if Iraola is "impossible" - I just think it would be very hard and very expensive to pry him out of Bournemouth right now and doubt he'd even want to come given the list of sacked managers before him? Iraola will have his pick of top clubs next year if Bournemouth continue on their trajectory. Why on earth would he choose the poisoned chalice?

Iraola's on ~2m a year (as opposed to the reported ~5m for Ange) and from memory is currently among the lowest paid in the league. Fair to say he'd be looking at a significant salary increase to manage us.

I can't think of many top clubs (or at similar footing to Spurs) either who would be looking for a manager of his experience next season, though he'd have earned the interest. Maybe Leverkusen if Xabi goes.

Is Ange really on £5m a year?
 
I like Iraola but he really is just the flavor of the month! If we sacked Ange this time last season then we'd probably have fans here hyping up De Zerbi and Gary O'Neil as replacements

I also see people here on about Marco Silva. Everton sacked him back in 2019 - had them in the relegation zone in December!

THE GRASS AIN'T ALWAYS GREENER!

To be fair, I think Iraola is different than those names. I really like him as a manager and would love him at Spurs.

Names like Silva, Frank, etc. I would rather we stay away from for the reasons you cite. Especially Frank. I think he would be an absolute clown hire for our club.

He can’t possibly be a bigger clown than the one we’ve got!
 
Any word yet? Will it be Southgate, Potter, or Tuchel? Ah, just missed out that one I suppose. :king:

Silva had a 50-50 win/ loss record at Everton which is not terrible for a club constantly in the relegation fight. Since then he has been highly successful at Fulham where he is now in his 4th season. Anyone who watched his tactical plan against Woolwich followed by another good showing in drawing 2-2 at Liverpool ( remember then ) will see that he is a highly capable coach and I’d take him any day over our present tactically naive counterpart.

Fulham (0.11) 1-1 (2.00) Woolwich

Liverpool (2.66) 2-2 (1.19) Fulham *Liverpool down to 10 men all game too.

Fine line between getting lucky and having a great tactical plan.

How did we do against either club despite our bigger resources again?

Lost 0-1 to Woolwich but played a much better game than Fulham where we were on top for majority of the game. We were missing up to 10 players (including 5 starters) against Liverpool and our entire starting 11 played on Thursday night against United - I'm more than happy to forgive that performance given the circumstances!

Who cares about xg ? I would take getting lucky if it meant getting 2 draws instead of 2 losses against our biggest rival and getting annihilated by Liverpool.oh and by the way Fulham completely outplayed us a few weeks ago and we escaped with a draw that was fortunate to say the least. And you should blame the absence of Romero and VDV totally on Ange who played them half fit against Chelsea ( how did that work out ? ) in his selfish desperation and put back their recoveries by weeks. Apart from that in terms of first teamers we were without Udogie who had been overplayed due to Ange’s stubborn refusal to play Spence until 10 days ago ( and for whom Spence was at least as good anyway ) and Bentancur who is not an automatic starter . Vicario is the only guaranteed starter whose absence cannot be laid at the door of Ange ( though everyone could see we needed a competent back up keeper at the start of the season. )

I’d take Silva over our tactically inept coach 100%.

So we had Vicario, Romero, VDV, Bentancur out . Plus reserves Richarlison, Davies, Moore, Odebar . Great excuse for our biggest home humiliation in 27 years and our lowest Xmas position in 17 years.

He should go. He is out of his depth.
 
A modern day manger/coach has a shelf life for 90% of clubs is 18months - 2years the exception being Poch, Klopp , pep now legoman ………they either get found out and the supporters turn….🤔 or they run out of ideas and other clubs sus them out , Liverpool & City have managed to strengthen and keep ahead of the game okay City are struggling at the minute other clubs like us fuck about and will continue to do so If Postecoglou turns it around which at this point looks unlikely the next sap through the doors will have a different set of problems but the same outcome

So all in all, Silva’s got 2 points more than Postecoglou from those games. :adethumbup:
