i think modric is going to be a great manager. midfielders who know how to attack and defend imo have an advantage.
Rodgers, who of course learned his football in known tradition and resource rich hotbed Northern Ireland, actually is a very good tactician.
He's a bottle job extraordinaire though, which Ange is not.
haha ok. off topic but this is why america will never win a world cup
Its part of the local (Aus) sporting culture- we don't do first past the post.There are no meaningless tail-end-of-the season games. You don't "win" unless you win the play offs. To be the champion, you have to step up in the the moments that matter and make it happen. He's win record in finals is extraordinary.
I rate defenders as well.
wow you're shitting on northern ireland?
I am holding out hope that Levy is waiting for Paratici so he can make the decision.
It does not bode well that Levy doesn’t think one point per game and a 17th place finish is grounds for immediate sacking.
Its one thing to sack him (he should be) but its another to replace him. Even the TFC brains trust is divided and has swayed on who the next manager should be.
IDK if Modric strikes me as the management type tbh, I think it would be a crying shame if he doesn't transition into coaching as undoubtedly anyone who is as intelligent as him on a football pitch must have wisdom to impart to the next generation of midfielders, and it feels like no coincidence that everyone they put in that midfield beside him when he was a nailed on starter played far and away their best football with Modric, the same could be said going all the way back to his time at Spurs tbh, but he never really put himself about on the pitch and vocalised like you would expect from a leader type. I think most of his managers saw the sense in unburdening him from the responsibility of being the captain so he could focus on creating poetry on the pitch.
People are going to study that guy for generations. Of all the superstars that came and went during that insane Real Madrid CL dominance period, he was there for every single one of them, starting every important game, orchestrating everything. I think it's more than fair to say he has utterly eclipsed Zidane as a player in RM folklore. Amazing we were lucky enough to experience him in a Spurs shirt.
Spurs would seem a good place for him to hone his coaching skills. Ange would be an excellent mentor. Having Modric work with Bergvall and Sarr - wow!
Sounds like Mason may be headed out for a head coaching role at another club.
Remarkable Ange Postecoglou omen that hints at big things for Tottenham Hotspur
The Tottenham Hotspur boss has been the subject of plenty of speculation in recent days despite winning the club's first trophy in 17 years

Sorry part of me just died at the idea of a man who conspired to finish 17th on 38 points and 22 defeats with the 9th highest revenue in the world having any wisdom to impart on a 6 time champions league winner about football.

On this occasion, you're Mostly right, Mostly wrong.

Well, Ange knows how to keep a dressing room united and build the club 'family'. He knows how to inspire players to never give up, and he knows how to deliver on his promises - even if that means taking an alternative route.
Spurs have champions league; Spurs have a trophy. Ange did it in the only way that was possible given our injury issues. For that, he deserves praise.
He inspired them so much we became the first team in PL history to lose 22 and not get relegated. Say it out loud. WE LOST 22 of 38.
Is he still here.
Spurs were without a major trophy for nearly 20 years and had become a running joke. Our talisman Son has gone his entire career without a trophy.
We had to sacrifice the league campaign in order to focus on the brining a trophy to Spurs - with 100% certainty.
NET RESULT
1 Major Trophy.
A UNITED Squad, who have now tasted success. These players will give 100% to do it again.
2 fingers stuck right up Woolwich's Arse.
Our best players want to stay (Romero/Porro).
Ask yourself this. Had we finished 4th or 5th - would any of the above statements be true?
Finishing 4th or 5th wouldn't have stopped those things from happening. That would be like arguing you can't do well in both competitions.
We had to prioritize the cups over the league. That was the right decision.
We did not have to play like abject shit in the league.
And even if you fully absolve Ange for the injury crisis, which you probably shouldn't, we put in dreadful league performances with full strength sides repeatedly this season.
38 points is a disgrace.
