If you haven’t got the arrogance and self-confidence to think you can turn around and energise this club with a 62k stadium, facilities, and a load of under utlilised talent then you probably won’t ever be a top manager anyway.

I hope there is some panic in those corridors. The reality is, this is looking a lot like last year, and that’s not how it was supposed to be. We’re a third of the way into the season and about the same number of points separates us from 4th and 18th. I don’t think we’ll be in a relegation battle, but if we were that’s disastrous because there’s nothing to show that this crew would fight for each other.
If a Tottenham manager gets sacked in a forest and no one is there to hear it why is it still somehow Brennan Johnson's fault?
Quantum physics probably gives it a decent explanation.
Brennan Johnson is the Schroedinger's cat of football. He's both the best forward on Spurs and the worst and there's no way of knowing until you put him in a match.

Whether we should bring Poch back is debatable, but can you believe looking back now after all the shit we have had to deal with over the last 5 years. We took it upon ourselves to sack a manager who got us 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th in the league, off the back of a champions league final, having had us play some of our best football in decades, and had us all feeling the most emotionally connected to the club some of us have ever felt….and we sacked him after some roppy performances on the 19th of November….19th of bloody November after doing all that for the club. Complete joke
Anybody know much about Sebastian Hoeness at Stuttgart? Took them from relegation battle to 2nd in one season and has won a cup. But they have slipped back down the league since. I don't know anything about the guy really as a manager, does he have potential?
Yes, I know his uncle is a twat

The Sunderland guy has done amazing.
Really at a loss for who we should appoint if we bin off Frank.
Think Glasner is a top manager who would be an upgrade on Frank, but I think he'd have his issues here. Watched the Palace game against United yesterday and when they're clicking they're great, but since they don't try to control games with possession in a conventional sense, when things aren't working they are a bloody tough watch - they were dire in the 2nd half and it was exactly the type of performance Spurs fans would dig him out for. He's also a bit of a hot-head off the pitch - might not be such an issue under our new leaders but him and Levy would've been a disaster.
Similarly, Iraloa seems to flip-flop between being the second coming and not that great for Bournemouth. They're capable of brilliance but also struggle against the mid/bottom table teams quite a bit and I worry about his style translating to a team that plays twice a week.
Marco Silva...just nah.
Then on the continent there are guys like Hoeness who people keep bringing up. Might be great but is essentially another hopeful punt given he's also pretty inexperienced, doesn't know the league and hasn't won anything. If we truly believe someone like him is the best upcoming manager, then sure let's go for it though. Would prefer that to another safe, sensible pick like Frank who doesn't seem to have 'it'.
Beyond that, maybe we try and convince Nagelsmann to join for the 5th time after the World Cup...? Or take the easy route and go back to Poch, which I don't like the idea of but am starting to warm to out of pure desperation.

He's my pick if the two big boys aren't available. Plays more similar to Poch. It's a balance between all our attack and defending (poorly) and nothing else.
Obviously untested in England, so a gamble, but I've watched them a good few times and been impressed.
Time to get another poll up, just a matter of time now. Xg as low as a Jack Russell's tool, a pragmatic defensive manager that cannot stop conceding goals and now he has turned on the fans, the same fans paying the most expensive season ticket about to watch his dross. Dead man walking, players disrespecting him, players turning on each other and the fans, our two greatest rivals beating us without a whimper from ourselves, can we afford to wait any longer,it just ain't working. The reasons are endless, the reasons to persist with him are much less.
He will be a headline writers dream the day the wins a titie:
"Danny, Champion of the World!"
...but if he comes to us, we'll somehow become: "The Twits"
Don't worry, there's a Roald Dahl book for EVERY occasion!
Who cares who the next sacrificial lamb is.
You lot will all want him sacked the moment they lose a game anyway.

Big Ange mate. It was written in the stars
Your post is exactly my thoughts.
I'm still Terzic in. German/Dortmund way of coaching is probably the closest to how we run in getting youngsters hopefully they turn up as gems. And new generation of German coach is very structural, which we badly lack. Worked with Klopp before, he had also held post as technical director, so I hope that can click on very nicely with Lange and Paratici.
I do think he is a wild card who may take the league by surprise and our club would suit him perfectly - one who is traditionally above the mid table clubs but still falling short to be the big boys occasionally - just like his managerial persona.
Thanks for the info, sounds like an option
