Management So (hypothetically) who replaces Ange then?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
We should go after the guy at Forest
First time visitor to this thread ............think it's about time we took out the "hypothetically" out of this thread's title!
Because Bournemouth are struggling and they are slow to adjust to the next new thing
Probably that bald prick tactico Jon Mackenzie needs to do more hipster content about Hurzeler for them to clock it first

For me seems a bit small time. Iraola or poch for me. No trying to be clever shit appointment from board. Read the other day SPL 47th strongest league in world. Ridiculous. Get rid of munn as well. Clearly a strategy to corner australian market those two appointments. Need world class not 3rd class at club.Which is why Silva could actually work with the miser.
If we don't get Iraola, I wouldn't be too disappointed if we'd get Glasner. Palace had a pretty crap start of the season but they have top 4 form for a while now. Last season when he took over they also were very strong.
Yeah he has dealt with the departures of key players and injuries very well. They’ve improved as the season has gone whereas we have got worse and worse.
Isn’t Mason our attack coach and you want him until the end of the season? No thanks .
Which is why Silva could actually work with the miser.
Silva can be an excellent coach for us. Iraola will have better suitors than us this coming summer. Nuno is the other standout Prem manager but of course he won’t be interested in us.
Silva is actually gettable. I think he has a weaker squad than Bournemouth and is doing similarly in terms of overperformance with what he’s got. I think he’s got something to prove and would be excellent for us. At the very least he knows how to set up a side for consistent performance in the Prem- which is a lot more than can be said of most our targets- especially the foreign ones.
I was banging this drum when he was at Frankfurt.
Some of us (myself being one ) DID call for his consideration earlier this season.
Brighton were after McKenna before Hurzeler. Kieron chose to sign a new contract at Ipswich.
Compare McKenna against what Hurzeler did in Germany. I would say it stands up to it, if not better. Two promotions in a row and decent effort to stay up, might still happen. Played most of this season with players who were in the third div.
Of course he is not foreign so cannot be any good. Give him a go. Arguable that what he has done is better than winning the league with Celtic.
McKenna is a very promising coach. Has Spurs connections too. If he came, I'd support him but this fanbase would be calling him a fraud in no time. They would say he has no experience at a top 6 Pl club and can't attract top talent. The player power would rear it's head as well when they all decide they have better playing careers than him and know better than he does.
He'd probably end up getting sacked after his first poor run.
May as well try a Dane. They did alright in England a while back.
is he using a system that suits the current squad build?
I have no idea tbh but I remember talk of him when we first sacked Conte because he likes wing backs. We have completely moved away from a squad build for wing backs, we have about 20 wing forwards on the books atm. Is he also a press and high line guy? because VDV and Danso aren't going to work in a sit deep and counter system as well as they do in a high line, pressing system.
Very much on the Iraola train, even more so after listening to a Spurs fan who is a Bournemouth reporter speaking about him on this pod.

We ain't getting a new manager until the Summer so your choice is Ange or Mason until May
Brighton is more about the club operations than the manager, if you ask me.
Ironically, Paul Barber was executive director when supporting Spurs was peak-fun under Redknapp.
We should sack Munn and Lange with Ange, and hire Paul Barber and David Weir. If that means bringing Hurzeler, too, then so be it.
I rate Hurzeler but I think he’s too young for a step up. Besides Bayern Munich will come calling for him soon and he ain’t turning that down…..
