The problem that is not how the Ange Inners magic thinking work.

Big concern here is Levy's reputation precedes him more than ever.
I can see it now (rings top class manager) - "Hello, it's Daniel here - just wanted to pick your brains about..." [dial tone...]
Yeah its not impossible but just feels very unrealistic. 3 big roadblocks/issues that I can think of.
1) Would the manager want to leave their club during a season or have a preference to finish the season?
2) The club would have to pay a substantially higher fee (15-20m) to get them to come during the season.
3) We are giving them an awful start by bringing them in during an injury crisis where players are fatigued. It wouldn't take long for certain fans to question them after a few bad results as is very evident on here. Results mean everything to some fans and nothing else matters even if he was trying to implement new ideas and waiting for key players like Romero, VDV and Solanke to return.
Would be a lot easier just to hire them on 1st of June! Can implement his ideas during pre season without pressure of results and should have close to a full squad available for the start of the season.
It was nice while it lasted Ange!!!!!
Bergvall at at the 6 imo
The lack of clear information about Romero and Micky since they were re-injured is very strange.

some interesting clear tactical observations about the Villa game, especially that first goal and what the players were up to
I think as Spurs fans we're so invested in the performance of the side that we over catastrophize the perceived appeal of the club.
Yes we all view Levy as a cringey little toad, but you really think Iraola is gonna hang up the phone to the prospect of multiple millions of pounds worth of wages, and the possibility that just maybe he could be the one to bring a long overdue trophy to the club?
We're paying Ange £5m per year, imagine what an actual competent and qualified manager could demand off the back of that!
There wasnt 1 performance in EL so far to prove we could win it
can follow Danny Rose there, oh wait
we actually did alright considering the heavily rotated teams and injury plagued teams we put out in every game of the group stage and still finished 2 points off top
Surely there can be no negatives about supporting your manager and players during games???
That's what you do as a real supporter.
Bitching and moaning should be reserved for in between games, and internet.
I don't often comment seriously on matters like this.
The ITK stuff is often bravado.
Regarding Maddison; my son, who lives and works in London, told me the same thing you have said a few months back.
Somebody supposedly 'in the know' about Spurs had told him that Maddison is not that committed to Spurs and has an ambition to play abroad.
It's basically the same story.
I'd love Bervall to have a starting place, I love his passion, but not as a 6 - I know Biss and Bents give the ball away too much, but Bergvall even more so, the number of times he's played an over-confident pass sideways or backwards in his own half and giving it straight to the opposition is scary. Hopefully Gray will be the long-term solution as a 6, with Bergvall playing a more advanced role. Well, either that or he gets his own-half passing more disciplined...
But what midfield won't? Every midfield we have gets massacred at the moment...
A lot of talk about the sale of Hojbjerg regarding the lack of protection for the defence.
Should Spurs have sold Ollie Skipp?
The boy loved to make tackles and give it simple.
I don't think Bentancur or Bissouma are incapable of doing that role.
They just seem to be anywhere but where they need to be. Which, given the frequency of it, seems to be tactical.
It's weird though.
I've never known a manager to be so clueless and hopeless yet a significant minority clamour for his retention.
I am beginning to wonder if the Jesuits are at the back of it.

Wonderful post.
Especially love the last paragraph about managerial change not necessarily being destabilising.
And besides, if after nearly two full seasons the manager is presiding over the worst fucking results and form in living memory than surely a bit of destabilising is exactly what we need.
