Management Latest Who's Next Poll

It's mental that people keep citing his "achievements" in absolute joke leagues.Lol you don't think getting promoted and keeping Raya Vallecano in la liga is higher achievement than...managing a team in Japan or Scotland ( and I put them in order of magnitude by the way) luckily we don't have to make that judgement as it exists already. Facts matter. I know we factually hired the least qualified coach we have ever had, but its very zeigest to have alternative facts. But yes managing successfully in La liga is far far far more important. Ange who is 20 years older has achieved less at the point of comparison.
The Strongest Leagues in the World: What the Opta Power Rankings Say | Opta Analyst
Want to know which are statistically the strongest leagues in the world? The Opta Power Rankings can help there.theanalyst.com
If we employed a non league coach who has won multiple paint trophies, would people be so supportive?
It may not be as crazy as you think ; they’ve gone 12 ( twelve) games without conceding a goal ( 2 games off the EPL record) and whilst the folk at Turf Moor aren’t always hyper-appreciative of the football on offer from an entertainment point of view
( personal correspondence) ; IF Scott Parker and Ange could job-share ( ? ). ; either every other game / day .
Then that just might be the lightning in a bottle that we’ve all been waiting for .
PS : I’m being absolutely serious.
Not good enough for me Silva. Just lost to palace at home ffs. Was a disaster at everton. Just think hes not good enough for us. Iraola next season for me. Poch 2026 after world cup if iraola fails. Wondering actually who's the best Argentinan boss atm bar poch. Should be looking into that.
We lost to them away.
Everyone has been a disaster at Everton for years. Moyes has taken over post sale.
I prefer Iraola, but Silva is an upgrade on Ange IMO.
On Parker, genuinely can't assess it. Did you see the highlights of Burnley Sheffield? Lol mate how they kept a cleansheet started to look like actual magic.
it's was bafflingNowhere near enough room in the dugout for 2 coaches and their egos.
It's been done before as well, don't forget.
The bizarre joint manager of Roy Evans and Gerard Houllier
It was one of the most bizarre events in Liverpool’s history when Liverpool announced that Gerard Houllier would be the joint manager with Roy Evans in the summer of 1998. Although Liverpool …

Perhaps it's a pride thing. It may all look a little desperate but players want to keep a record going and will go to extreme lengths to get it.
Maybe if we could keep 3 or 4 clean sheets in a row, players would be less inclined to leave gaping holes all over the pitch every week.
The Burnley unbeaten run now spans 29 games and has them in the automatic promotion positions.
In that 29 game unbeaten run, they have conceded SIX goals.
88 points from 42 games is 2.1ppg
They've only lost twice all season and conceded only 13 goals in those 42 games.
His loss ratios everywhere are lower than Ange's. The worst is Fulham at 40%
Unless something spectacular goes wrong, this will be his 3rd promotion - each at the first attempt - with 3 different clubs.
IMO, the championship is a sterner test for a manager than Scotland, Japan and fucking Australia.
Is he the best manager available? No
Is he potentially, at 44, a candidate who could grow himself as he improves the team? I think so, yes. He's also English and an ex Spur himself. He knows the club and the fans.
I honestly would be happier with Scotty Parker than Frank,Silva or Iraola. British managers need a chance to prove themselves. What’s Iraola done to deserve the Tottenham job. Silva hasn’t set the world on fire in the premier league. Frank has done well with Brentford and I actually like the way he talks but Scotty Parker is an ex player and know what the club is all about. I’m not saying he should be our first choice but I don’t think it’s a bad idea.
There have always been managers that are good at getting teams promoted but then bomb in the prem, Neil Warnock and Daniel Farke spring to mind. The same happened for Parker at Fulham and Bournemouth. He was also appalling at Bruges. I also saw earlier in the season Burnley fans complaining at how boring they were and the attrition football (Burnley fans!) .
Looks like Carlo Ancelotti’s days at Madrid are numbered. Does anyone think there is a chance we could get him?
I was going to say the same.
He always does well in the championship but struggles in the premier league, which is no good for us
Unless we have aspirations of playing in the championship
I suppose Levy could give him a call and say, "Hey Carlo, fancy ending your career permanently and ruining your reputation for good?" and Ancelotti might say, "I thought you'd never ask."?
...but that applies to any potential manager, doesn't it?
At least Poch knows what to expect, but he's not on the comprehensive list above.
Just maybe he’s learning from mistakes and could become a very good manager in the premier league now. Every manager will have an element of risk about them. I really don’t know who we should go for.I was going to say the same.

As long as we don’t start next season with Ange!!
Needs Poch in the vote.
I went Iraola months ago but now I’ve no idea. I think lots will turn us down and we’ll have to go for someone like McKenna. I think mid table beckons for us next season at best at the moment. There’s a lack of available manager talent. After next summer Poch and even potentially Tuchel will be available.

Ancelotti? He will be out of work next season
He had 12 games at Bruge and lost 4, so his loss ratio was 30%
Ange currently stands at 42% overall for us. This season in the PL alone he's at 53% loss ratio.
Scotty was sacked by Bournemouth when they were in the middle of being taken over. The previous owners didn't back him in the window and he basically got himself sacked IIRC.
As for Fulham, yes they went down. This was 20/21 when he was 40 and one of the youngest managers in the league.
It's a risk, but I'm seeing signs that he is getting better as a manager and doesn't actually lose many games. He's about to match Readings record of least losses ever in a Championship season, possibly in the same season we break our record for the most losses in a PL season.
1 year into a 3 year contract. Could even be "cheap" for Levy.
Poch went on to win the league at PSG, landed the Chelsea job and waded through a clusterfuck to get a top 6 finish.
Mourinho went on to win the conference league with Roma and currently 2nd, 3 points off top spot with Fener
Conte currently 3 points behind Inter in a title race for Serie A
So how exactly is Spurs a graveyard?
I only put people who were attainable. He's not walking out of a job he hasn't started yet. Even if he wanted to, it would probably be too costly for Scrooge McLevy.
