Louis Van Gaal

[cahspur]

When you look at all the options they are all a gamble. LvG, genius but hot tempered, Pochettino inexperienced, De Boer Prem inexperienced. I don't know but whoever we get I just want us to keep for a while and build a team long term, who do you think will be suitable?

Indeed, but the varying degrees of gamble must be considered. For instance, I think Poch would be particularly risky because of his seeming ineptitude with handling crisis, something that's clearly an issue with this current squad.

My favorite as of now, assuming for a second that LvG does actually go to Man U, is Benitez. Prem and CL experienced, solid enough CV to attract and keep players, bold and novel with his ideas, and yet still young enough to give us a solid chunk of time.

De Boer just lost the Dutch Cup final 5-1 to a newly promoted side.

He'll fit right in here.

The more I think about the more I'm in favor of Mancini. There's been 6 (likely soon to be 7) managers to ever win the Premier League. It's an elite group and it certainly would be nice to have one of them as our manager.

Regardless of who we get I love the idea of Hughton as a number 2. Knows the club and knows how to organize a defense. Having a strong staff can be just important as having a top manager.

It's going to be tough getting a top class manager this summer, not only are United looking out for one but I think Barcelona, PSG and even that lot up the road could be in the market for one as well.

 

[Furball man]

I want us to hire a honey badger

Benitez would be good - prem experience, trophies, decent football & tactics.
He's not too young so the bigger personalities in the club shit on him, and he's not old enough to be considered short term, old fashioned tactically and borderline senile.
He is a bit of a cunt though

 

[Sean]

isn't there a few boss changes happening internationally after the world cup? so could have a few more to think about.

 

[Andrei]

He is a bit of a cunt though

he's perfect then..

Most managers look at the the size of the pay cheque first and foremost. So, if Levy really wants Van Gaal, offer him more money than Man utd. Simple. The increase in the clubs profile will pay for it. Throw in the fact that Spurs are based in the London, the most cosmopolitan city in the world, while old trafford is a decaying stadium in a provincial noth-west shithole and theres only one choice for LVG to make really.

My problem with Houghton as No2 is that as soon as No1 walks out/gets sacked we know who Levy will put in charge.

 

[El flaco]

if we wait until after the wordl cup we get some cunt who has had no inflence on our transfers and missed pre season. we'll have 3 or 4 months of him getting to know the squad, more transtition and then he'll be able to say wait until next season when its my team, then.....ah fuck it

You really think at this point of his career, LvG's primary concern is the paycheck?

I really thought we'd got past this "hero player returning" shite.

I smell a Gooner alert..

Plus Norwich have let in 54 this season, 7 in one game.. Not my idea of great defence organising.

History has answered this before..

 

[elias_swe_spurs]

1. Klopp has said officially he will not be leaving Dortmund. So LvG is probably the man who takes ManU.
2. Benitez is definitely not someone i'd like in charge of Spurs. Boring football.

Think it's probably time to stop checking updates on this thread :walkercry:

 

[1882]

LVG was sacked at barca after taking them to within 3pts of relegation in 2003, sacked by Bayern in 2008 and failed with Netherlands in 2002

What a loser!!!
Manure are welcome to him!!!

What a loser!!!
