So when you were calling for this manager all season and now you have your wish, who is your preference?
So according to reports Spurs are going for 2 head-coaches this time (Frank & Marco Silva)
Silva is the scare tactic choice to condition fans into liking Frank. Did similar 2 years ago with Brendon Rodgers.
As always quite impressive from the club
Who would your actual pick be JT? I seem to recall you being quite in favour of getting rid of Ange throughout the whole season.
It’s working
Chris Sutton on Ange Postecoglou's sacking...
"Club appoints manager after years of being so allergic to success that there is a very word for their devotion to disappointment.
"Manager wins club their first trophy since 2008 to stop them from being so ‘Spursy’. Club sacks manager. Make it make sense. I can’t.
"Daniel Levy took his sweet time, and even then he came to the ridiculous conclusion that Tottenham are better off without Ange Postecoglou.
"It's their loss, not his. Tottenham fans had been craving an entertaining brand of football after being bored to tears for too many seasons.
"Postecoglou delivered them that, certainly in their first season. He lost Harry Kane, led them to fifth in the Premier League, and got them into the Europa League.
"The second season was a struggle, but he won them that European competition, even though he had to deal with being vilified as badly as Graham Taylor when he was branded a turnip. 'To Dare Is To Do.' That's Tottenham's motto.
"Postecoglou dared and did. But now? Now, he is available to go win silverware for someone else, and he will, I’m sure.
"His sacking sums up football, really. Don't get me wrong, Thomas Frank is an excellent, elite, experienced manager.
"He’s turned Brentford into a stable Premier League club. Levy now wants Frank to turn Tottenham into a consistent Champions League club.
"Because clearly, that’s the Spurs priority. Forget trophies. Levy wants to top the balance-sheet table.
"And yet I wonder what those fans who were in Bilbao will remember when they’re old and grey and boring the grandkids by telling them the same story for the 1,000th time.
"Will it be the year they finished fourth? Nah. It’ll be the glorious night they beat Manchester United to become winners in Europe.
"Postecoglou can leave with his head held high. He stuck two fingers up to his critics who mocked him for saying he would win in his second season.
"Now we'll never get to know what would have happened in season three, thanks to Levy, who did not even have the courage to add a quote into the club statement confirming Postecoglou's sacking, like when they got rid of Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho. Cheers, mate."

No. If true, it's a good thing we've gone through the gears. We mus have an agreement in place with someone
The Angel Gomes who's going to Marseille?
I don't disagree with him but don't forget Sutton is all in on Celtic and would view Ange differently to a lot of others. The clear thing here is Levy has no clue. He's sacked managers for not winning and has now sacked one who did win. But he still doesn't recognise his role in appointing them all in the first place.
He’d improve the retail and hospitality offering too!
I like the idea of Xavi, what he represents, his cache/gravitas - the message it would send
Still a gamble, but if it worked...
Romano doesn't tend to get too much wrong.
It's Frank.

I'm unsure but will back him when he comes, he is a decent person at the very least so that's good. I think he'll see managing us as his ceiling and shot at the big time, so again that's positive.
he's quite tactically astute and adaptable, he was quite an attacking coach with a 4-3-3 in the Championship so yeah, I'm interested. let's see.

Nothing winds me up more than ex-players speaking like they know everything about everything. Him, Shearer, Carragher - ffs, give it a rest. Sutton’s enormously biased - he was predicting we’d win every game about 10-0 under Ange until the penny finally dropped. He knows more about football than me, of course, but not a lot and I happily admit I know next to nothing.
In short - don’t like him.
Ha ha ...I've answered this numerous times
You finally admitted you'd been wrong about him after 18 months of making a fool of yourself
So who's your preference. And which contender would you be underwhelmed with?
Happy with that, I've accepted it was gonna be him a while ago, think he's a good coach personally.
I don't think Levy & Lewis (+ possible others in power at Spurs) fancy the idea of another "winner" because Xavi - like Jose and Conte - will challenge Levy & Lewis and demand changes they're not ready for (I am not just talking paying big for quality players)...
That's the problem. He'll just be happy to be here. He'll have low demands, put up with what he's given, and tow the ENIC line.
As
Shadydan
brilliantly put it, we'll compete in the Premier League, but never FOR the Premier League.Unlike Mourinho and Conte though - Xavi comes from a school.of developing talent, trusting youth, and working with academies....
... precisely what Levy has always wanted
And Levy has shown he is willing to invest when things are on his terms
