Do you think he has learned from his mistakes and adapted? I doI don't know it cunt is the word I would use but if you saw the Being Liverpool doc Brenton comes off as an absolute tool and moron in that. And I get the same impression from most of his interviews as well.
I would hate having him as our manager.
Not quite as bad as Jose because at least the football would be better before we melted at the end of the year, but it would be pretty disappointing to go from Jose only to be replaced by crap like Brenton.
Definitely not him.

Jose on the other hand? Has he evolved? How’s that’s going
I was thinking more in terms of his managerial style rather than playing style / tactical decisionsI don't really think so.
Last the way he set up his Leicester side at the end of the year when they needed a few draws to get top 4 with big injury trouble at the back was horrible.
He basically lost the game against us on his own trying to play a highline with a back 3 of Morgan-Evans-Bennett. It was ridiculous and there was no reason to do it at all. We ran past them like they were wearing the cement shoes that they play in.

The former has improved, he’s more relaxed and likeable
Gerrard for me
big name, players will want to play for him. Unproven and a bit of a risk but worth a go
Organised, structured, a bit drab really .. but good to watch when competitive against 'better' teams. Moutinho and Neves are both good but I'd like to see how his teams would play with more dynamic ball carriers and athletes in midfield.
If we are being honest you could say the same about us. Top 4 then what? You won't get the funds required to win major trophies. Top 4 is really the height of our ambition.This stage of the season no. In the summer, money talks. Lure of a big club. If he gets Leicester top 4 what else can he do there?
Same people who said we don't need new signings. Everything is great as it is.People like you would put it this way in a few months...
“People are hilarious, you’d think Spurs are in Championship, a win next match would bring the team to 19th”.
Big no then for me. Jol rekindled my love of Spurs with exciting football and on the whole it's been better times since.Definitely not him.
Plays very defensive football and when he tried to switch to a more attacking 4-2-3-1 Wolves kept losing.
Can only play well in the 5-3-2 when they just counter-attack.
Mourinho 2.0
Not really, I don't think. Covid may have dented it somewhat but our spending is trending in the right direction imo. Good money spent on Ndombele, Sessegnon, GLC, Bergwijn recently. Stadium once it's up and running will have us spending well enough to win, just about picking the right targets and having a good manager. Recruitment worries me more than willingness to spend over the next 5 years.If we are being honest you could say the same about us. Top 4 then what?

I hope you are right but plenty wouldn't. I can't see it myself. Especially with levy saying we need to stop this obsession with spending & that it doesn't equal success. He also indicated the players we had when jose took over were already good enough to win stuff & achieve success. So it seems like he feels the opposite.Not really, I don't think.

Like others have said, a Jose 2.0. but also have to watch for the portuguese connection. The mendes love they get makes their target lists short and full of back room deals.
Gerrard? I disliked most of that golden generation but didn’t mind himThat would be a tough one to want to follow Spurs if we bring that cunt in.
I guess if I could make it through Jose who is fine as a person just plays awful football having someone who is scum of the earth but might play decent football could be passible, but ugh it would be horrible having to watch that prick manage us.
Yeah gerrard seems pretty down to earth & decent.Gerrard? I disliked most of that golden generation but didn’t mind him
