Bottled 4th on both those 4th place finishes.
Rodgers is also old and on the way down.
Would make a joke out of everything that's been said about appointing a young manager.

Levy and Lewis are both compliant in all this. I'm sure all the major decisions have to be approved by Lewis. They have to do the right thing and fucking sell this club and give someone else the opportunity to bring some joy back to the place.
How is he outstanding? 2 points in 6 matches in the CL, finishing bottom of their group below Shaktar Donesk. Winning the scottish league with celtic is not a big deal if theyve been winning it almost every single year anyway.Mate , I'm a Celtic fan and certainly hope Spurs don't get him
I'm just amazed at the disrespect being thrown at him ...to be fair when he arrived at Celtic, we were underwhelmed to say the least...then we started to listen... The guy is an outstanding manager
Really really hope we dont get him. We are really shit right now, but that is just throwing in the towel, almost as bad as appointing Mason.
What does this make Hodgson?
Fuck's he got to do with anything?
FWIW I'd take Hodgson over Rodgers.
He's 25 years older than Rodgers.
Most Celtic fans rate Ange alot higher. Which says something considering the success Rodgers had there.
He also has the second best win percentage of any manager in the clubs history. Plays alot better football and is alot more likeable too.
Again, when comparing leagues dominated by a team or two. It's crucial you look at their COACHING. Not particularly results over a season or what they've won. Their ability to coach.
There's a difference comparing a Rodgers Celtic team to a Neil Lennon Celtic team for example. Same when it comes to a De Boer Ajax team and a ten Hag one. Or a Galtier’s PSG team and an Emery one.
Then you have to ask yourself a question. What sort of manager do you want right now at Spurs? What do we need?
Do we need someone quite likeable right off the bat? Someone who can get the fans back onside? Be grateful to be here? But also have a track record of improving players, getting the best out of them, good coaching across many different teams?
Or do we want a fucking idiot that no one in the fanbase really wants?
Yeah don’t forget they were 4th going into the last game of the season for both those 5th place finishes.
Winning a cup comp can’t really be used as a barometer - Moyes is potentially going to win the Euro farmers for the Spammers. Martinez won the FA cup and relegated Wigan in the same season. McLeish with Birmingham.
You are as good as your last season - so relegation good
Ahahahahaha
Woy knew Palace inside and out - all he did was steady the ship.
Faaack me, has it come to this
I think you will find most would be happy with Nagelsmann, Slot, Amorim - Poch although not universal, would be popular.
Pretty faaacking clear though that other than a few mentalists on here, we don’t want Rodgers and Harry Potter would be underwhelming.
Ange would be a huge risk
A Leicester fan I know says that Rodgers was stitched up and forced to sell players and not given any money!
It was always Poch, Naglesmann, De Zerbi, Kompany and Slot for me. Any of those 5 then great. I'd have been interested to see what Alonso could do as well so i really dont see this as us being fussy. I think the vast majority would have been happy with any of them. But apparently we're terrible fans and should be grateful for whatever shit sandwich is served up.
In their defense they have played great football but underperformed in front of goal.
Artur Cabral, their main scorer, has been streaky. Scored a grouple of games in a row and then a few games without scoring. And Luka Jovic has mainly found the net in Europe.
They've also juggled a cup final run and Italiano's first ever European campaign.
Rodgers is younger than Poch, Guardiola , Klopp, Emery and not that much older than Slot or De Zerbi or Howe for example. They are not exactly spring chickens
Who said we are appointing a young manager?
Bottled 4th place finishes with Leicester. Not with Man City. Let's have a bit of perspective and say he did well to have them competing for a top 4 place and he did win the Fa cup with them. Wouldnt we love an Fa cup win?
I just don't understand why so many people are quick to dismiss someones achievements. It was the same with Eddie Howe. He did a fantastic job at Bournemouth, actually remarkable how he took them from the lower leagues all the way to the PL and established them as a PL club, all while playing attractive football too. However it ended badly and they got relegated. That didn't make him a bad manager, so many Spurs fans laughed at the thought he could ever manage us a few years ago but look at him now and what he is doing at Newcastle.
There is too much snobbery around this place, yes we have a nice stadium and training facilities but come on that doesn't mean we are too big for a Howe or for a Rodgers etc....... its embarrassing tbh
But you can flip the coin over and he's paid +£10m to Poch whilst put on gardening leave, £14m to Nuno, £20m to Jose and £4m to Conte (rounded up that's £50m in compensation to managers following Poch sacking).
Where I agree somewhat is on age not that early 50s is old in managerial terms and possible trajectory. That needs a bit of caution.
