It'll be Heitinga surely. I think just getting someone to lift the lads up with a bit of belief will get them going. If we get another X's and O's coach in, I don't think it'll work. The players seemed to play well when they ignored what they were told to do in the awful first halves and just went out and played.

Management Who should be Tottenham's next manager after Frank?

Read he prefers a 4-4-2. Good luck finding two fit strikers at Hotspur Way.
If he does well keep him perm he is a good manager whether he suits us who knows
A few years ago he looked promising. But it's not gone well for a long time. Seems very left field.
Not usually like this. Not sure what got into me, why I stooped to this guy's level. Apologies
Tel, Solanke and RKM. It is wingers where we struggle right now.
Maybe that’s where Tel needs to play to get the best out of him. I’m not opposed to trying it out.
Post removed.
We could do a hell of a lot worse than Rose, although he doesn't strike me as someone that would just join as an interim.
As a permanent option he'd be...ok? Clearly a competent coach and won Leipzig their first every trophy. Plays pretty decent stuff, but also never seems to last too long or hit the heights that people thought he would when he was being hyped as the next Klopp/Tuchel. I think he's the 'safe pair of hands' we hoped Frank would be, but not someone that will overperform and build something or do anything too special.
Feel like with Rose we'd be hedging our bets a bit. Could probably give him a 1.5 or 2.5 year contract and if he does well and keeps us up then giving him another season would be fine (unlike with, say, Mason or Keane who we v.likely don't want as our long term manager). But would probably also not break the bank and could part ways in 6-18 months quite naturally if it doesn't work out.

Surely he'd have been confirmed already though?
That's what you'd think. But I'm sure they're trying to get their summer target managers to come in now, and when they all say no, they go with him.
Other than possibly the most embarassing tfc cunt off I've ever seen, has anything interesting happened? How is there no concrete links.
I can't believe the board wouldn't have thought about this on the last 2 months

This is a decision that the board has to make.
There will be serious managers interested in the job. The pool of "interims" are very small for a club like ours.
Leicester changed manager and won the league after finishing 17th the year before. Chelsea won everything under the sun while changing managers every 5 minutes.
I agree we could use some stability but I don't think it's as simple as "give the manager time and he'll do well". Managers usually get more time because they're doing a good job to begin with. If Arteta, Poch or Klopp had been doing shit after 2-3 years in the job they would've been sacked. They stayed because there was an upward trajcectory and things were improving.
For me the more important thing is making sure the people behind the scenes are competent, have some kind of coherent vision and are signing the right players and bringing in managers that align with that. The reason we're struggling isn't cos we keep changing managers, per se, it's cos each manager is the polar opposite of the one that came before and our squad building is a joke.
Exactly. If Heitinga gets announced from tomorrow onwards, it'll be clear the club have completely fucked up and on that basis, IMO our chances of relegation will increase dramatically. If he was the plan all along he would have been confirmed immediately.
Heitinga has been here for a few weeks and we've continued losing. It's a real leap of faith to think he'll suddently gets results because Frank has gone.
We need a new manager bounce. That means, new manager and a new coaching team / number 2.
If we were midtable it wouldn't matter, give it to Heitinga, but in our current situation it would be an insane thing to do.
If only Frank and the players had shown as much fight as some posters in here
He got sacked with them playing very well and creating lots but just not converting their changes and thus not getting the results.
It'd be easier to dismiss his ability if they were just a bit shit, but I think he's one of those that wants to play good football but didn't have players up top good enough up to take the chances.
Wouldn't be the first team in the championship to ignore the issue and go down because of it
Goons drew with Brentford.
Imagine the new manager bounce helping us nick more points off them. Farteta would fold like a damp t-shirt.
As much as I hate the rinse-and-repeat cycle, it might be worth sacking Frank just to ruin Woolwich's season.

Splash the cash. Pay Xabi Alonso 15 to 20mil a year and he will come.
Yeah I think someone like Rose is about as close as you can find to a solid 'middle ground' option. Probably the type of coach that would've been a sensible appointment following Ange rather than convincing ourselves Frank could transform his style and play attractive football.
Rose's managed Spurs-equivalent sized clubs in Germany and does at least try to play decent football. I think that's more important than just being "PL-proven" as we've seen when hiring managers like Nuno and Frank that know the league but have proven fundamentally unsuited to making the step up to bigger clubs.
