Anyone whose name is an anagram of Tire Change has to be the right person to get us pumped up and back on the right track surely?

Ajax fan from Amsterdam here. He's quality. Nothing like Frank de Boer was at Ajax.
Ten Hag is also not a typical Ajax coach. He never played for them and was schooled under Pep at Bayern. He made his name at Utrecht and was considered a gamble and 'not an Ajax manager' when he was hired. Too pragmatic and without the needed flair. He made his critics eat their words by turning Ajax into an attacking machine that took over Europe, while also instilling a defensive discipline and aggression that Ajax had lacked for a long time. He's also profession with the media.
Of course every hire from the Eredivisie remains a gamble. But Ten Hag at least should not be seen as a risk due to him coming from Ajax - he is a modern, flexible, pragmatic, attacking manager.
Don't expect Poch's charm and personality though, he is more rigid and serious.

Spurs fans are so fucking entitled
We’ve all been there, buddy.
Sorry wrong thread. I thought this was the Sean dyche thread
We've all been there, buddy.
Heard Levy is after this fella but is trying to negotiate him down to Eight Hag.
My opinion is we literally hit rock bottom with Mourinho
Anyone we get will improve us
Anyone we get will improve us
Fucking hell. Not sure how you reach that conclusion based on not taking on ETH and JN going Bayern.
Last I checked there were more than two managers we were looking at...
Will you bunch of melting cunts just stfu, leave your houses for a bit and get a fucking life.
Christ sake. Moan moan moan...shut the fuck up you absolute wet wipes
I’d might send my file saves to levy and I’m gonna be hired. Even on football manager levy is a cunt. After winning the league he gave me a 15M transfer kit with like 200M on the bank
Better start to like this man fellow Tottenham friends
Maybe he's just not very likeable, he wasn't particularly when he was creeping around the Amazon documentary and that was heavily edited.
Maybe Ten Hag thought this cunt sacked Mourinho before a (rare) cup final and almost sold out to the Super League (which Ajax didn't)...
If he would have been announced at the end of the Ajax season, or even sooner, and been brought in with his people at that time I think I would have been just as happy with that as Poch or Conte. I don't think that is any less inspiring than the other two, outside of the emotional aspect of Poch.
But for him to be brought in now, as a 3rd or 4th choice, with Paratici as DOF and Levy still clearly in control of football operations I think it will suck.
He won't have a chance to properly do the job and will be shit on for not getting results which will actually be the fault that we still have Levy running the football side of the club.
He should be a great appointment for us and exactly what we should have been looking for but instead Levy fucked it so bad that it makes little sense now.
They don't even compare
