Can I ask you to expand on this?
Are you saying you will accept any old shit because after 23.5 years of continually doing whatever they want, and getting away with it without being held accountable, ENIC are unlikely to sacrifice the miser's bonus to get a credible manager for the core business?

Well, like I say that was an old vote before some of these options we see today. But, I do think Potter remains feasible because he’s free, has PL experience and it’s a process of elimination in some of these cases. I would think that managers like Fonseca or Terzic are in the mix.

Never should have sacked Poch though.
 
Just to make it clear I thinks its best for everyone that Postecoglou goes. It just hasn't worked out.

But the favourite is Iraola? Really?

His CV is a grand total of 6 years of management including being sacked in Cyprus for being winless in 2 months, a couple of second division Spanish gigs and 18 months at Bournemouth, winning precisely nothing.

Iraola is just the flavour of the day right now. He's doing extremely well with Bournemouth right now but does that translate into taking on the job at Tottenham. The pressures at B'mouth & Spurs are completely different not to mention having to deal with Levy.
Constantly changing managers will change nothing, each new manager comes in & changes the system & wants his own players but in the end nothing changes.

I think he's an interesting candidate, but I certainly don't think of him as THE option in the way that some do. I think of him as an option. One of a few potentially interesting choices in a, let's be honest, threadbare selection of potential managers.

I think the level of noise and momentum he has behind him right now is something that could easily be behind Thomas Frank in a couple months or so, or a Marco Silva for instance.

Cheers.

Thanks for the insight into how some Spurs supporters think in 2025.

I'd rather lick the bottom of my own shoe than roll out the welcome mat for Graham fucking Potter.

No more Chelsea cunts at Spurs thank you.

Especially Potter.

The man has no credibility whatsoever.

You can stick Thomas Frank up your arsehole too.

You will need lube though for Frank's ears to slide in without any issues.

It's always a possibility & maybe Iraola could be the answer but I don't see him wanting to leave B'mouth mid-season & I don't see B'mouth letting him leave mid-season. He recently signed a two year extension & is under contract till the Summer of 26.
Swapping managers mid season is a gamble that is rarely worth taking unless you're in a relegation battle.

Graham Potter is such a weird shout, he was hardly successful at Chelsea was he.

None of the names at the top of this thread represent much more than a punt. Iraola is he least punty of all of them but he’s never managed a team in Europe and has no idea (yet) how to translate his football into competing twice a week. Great future as a coach but indisputably a punt at this stage of his career.

Silva and Frank make zero sense because they play very different football to the way this squad has been put together and have very very similar profiles to Nuno when he came here but less on their CVs.
 
I don't get this argument of "flavour of the month" to be honest.

Overwhelming majority of managers climb the ladders gradually. Other than the likes of Guardiola and Arteta who were handed top teams right from the get go, managers start from the bottom by managing low profile teams. By far the most common career trajectory for top managers is to move from lower league teams/relegation fodders, to mid-table/top half teams, and eventually to ones that challenge for trophies.

Managing a mid-table team entails being flavour of the month, because those teams get inconsistent results by definition. That was the case when Klopp and Tuchel were managing Mainz, or Ancelotti was managing Reggiana. Some teams gambled on them succesfully, while some others gambled on managers who eventually failed. Eliminating this element of risk by refusing to go for this kind of managers altogether seems like an overreaction to me.

Having reservations about this or that manager in particular is understandable. But rejecting any manager that has never managed at the top level out of hand because this somehow makes him just another flavour of the month is baffling.
