My man...I am all over this forum just basking in the "I Told You So's" and honestly, a couple pints deep and it is lovely. I can't wait for this one to also come true.How vindicated will we feel when Potter lead us to glory?

Will he immediately sell Winks and Sissoko?
Then give him the job.
Then give him the job.
Potter won’t do shit at this football club, you think managing a bunch of clowns with big egos like Aurier or Sissoko is the same as managing Mr. Ikea from Farmville in Sweden?
It’s fucking over for this club mate. I’m in fuckin tears seriously
If Ten Hag is a 'bet', I think he is a good one; definitely a interesting one.
However, Ten Hag is on a different (and lower) level than the likes of Conte, Allegri or Nagelsmann. At least three top managers were available and Spurs couldn't sign any of them.
It has to be said: when you are 14 years without a single title and you fire a manager five days before a cup final, big managers will have doubts about your priorities as a club - even if you are offering them good money.

Well aren't I a dickhead.I know. It was a joke mate. Expecting our new manager to have a pulse.
| Personally I would be happy with ten Hag. I would have been happier if we got him in a few weeks ago before we were linked to Poch or Conte. Now it is a 7/10 appointment instead of 8/10. |
Yes, people simply ignore his success with Bayern II and Utrecht. The way he plays football, the way he uses established players while also incorporating youth, the way his teams always go all out for him.
This was the guy. This guy screamed Tottenham. And it's gone now. There's no chance anymore, we need to move on to someone else.
I know nothing about him but a quick look, South American coach of the year 3 years running, a ton of trophies, attacking football, 10 years managerial experience and still only 45...and the Argentine connection. Most importantly probably willing to come here. I'm in. Certainly beats Mason, Howe or Harry Redknapp.
Counting backwards from ETH
Keizer was sacked from Ajax and now manages in the UAE.
Bosz was sacked at Dortmund and then Leverkusen and now lies 7th with Lyon.
de Boer
Jol
Van Basten went 27-18-27 at Heereveen, then stressed out in months at AZ
Adrie Koster bounced around with stops at Brugge and an assistant job at Stuttgart, and is currently managing Willem II where he's soundly average.
ten Cate was so wanted, Chelsea bought him as a coach, was sacked along with Grant, resigned from Panathinaikos when they stopped paying him, then wandered around the middle east.
Danny Blind
Koeman
Co Adriaanse had middling success in brief stops at AZ and Porto, anonymously floated through Salzburg for a stop, got sacked at Twente, then resigned from an advisory role at Twente
Jan Wouters never got a full managerial gig except a couple years at Utrecht, where he had one good finish followed by a series of mid-table finishes before walking out
Morten Olsen managed Denmark for 15 years and failed to qualify for more major competitions than he qualified for
Louis van Gaal
Not going to go any further back, because I'm tired of the subject. Jol and de Boer are the only 2 managers there since LvG that managed at a high level. Jol was on his way down when he was there, and de Boer flamed out (after many on TFC begged for him).
Is ten Hag different? Will he be majorly successful at a bigger club than Ajax? Its a resounding maybe from me. Again, I'd have taken him cautiously. But I'm not gonna sit here and act like he's the savior we missed out on. The odds are he isn't.
So who is the no brainer appointment??
Because very clearly, Nuno was appointed by someone without a brain.
I'm sure that he has been on Eggheads ?
None im afraid. I guess he's only really known to a small group of Ihis followers. Hope he doesn't bring his followers to this forum....haggers? Tenners?
I like the fact that he’s an attacking manager who has worked with young players in a team that lost their star players every year but managed to keep up their record.
I just wonder if he could handle the intensity of a more competitive league. He has done very well in Europe but the PL is more strenuous than the Erdivise.

We have gone too long without a bald football coach. He deserves a chance being controlled by Levy.
