Now that's in line with ENIC's post-Poch foolishness.
Going for apparent glamour/prestige over something more astute that would actually start to sort our mess out. Fuck me.

You've got to wonder if we should be hoping, come Wednesday, that Paratici's appeal to FIFA is unsuccessful. It'd be one way of forcing the club into a change.Exactly right according to Fonseca. Can we get Fabio "I love Nuno and negative football" Paratici out of our club, please. Really don't want anywhere near our manager search.
Paulo Fonseca says Tottenham's Fabio Paratici pulled out of deal to appoint him over his attacking football
Paulo Fonseca says Tottenham's Fabio Paratici pulled out of deal to appoint him over his attacking football
Tottenham spent nearly two months searching for a successor to Jose Mourinho before appearing to settle on Paulo Fonseca; however, Spurs pulled out of deal just days after Fabio Paraticis arrival; watch Woolwich vs Tottenham on Sunday, live on Sky Sports from 4pm - kick-off at 4:30pmwww.skysports.com
Quotes made by Fonseca:
"The agreement was done. We were planning the pre-season and Tottenham wanted an offensive coach. It wasn't announced but we planned pre-season players. I have some principles. I wanted to be coach of the great teams but I want the right project and a club where the people believe in my ideas, my way to play, and this didn't happen with the managing director [Paratici]. It's what the chairman (Daniel Levy) and the sporting director (Steve Hitchen) asked for: to build a team who can play attractive and offensive football and I was ready for that. I cannot be a different way. All my teams will have these intentions. Against the biggest teams, I'm not sending out my teams to defend near their own box."
Erm, no, I don't have to wonder...
I've got every crossable appendage in my entire body crossed that the dodgy fucker loses his appeal and is FINALLY relieved of his duties at the club, because whilst he seems capable of signing up some decent players, he completely negates that by choosing managers that are so poorly suited to using said players that you have to wonder if he's just trolling us...
Seems finding a big name to convince Kane to stay is priority #1. Not actually looking for a long term project manager.
Luis Enrique will probably bring a wonderful presentation, club will fall for it, playing AVB football for 18 month (more due to the players quality than him) then bang back here again. Still in line with the wonderful decision making that the club normally produces.
It’s Matt Law though so thankfully probably bullshit.

Arne Slot is our man.
He turned down leeds in the new year, he'll go somewhere, maybe Palace/West ham and we'll regret it. Attacking coach. Smart tactically. he's our guy.
Not all glamour, big name managers are bad. Its the defensive style of play of Conte and Mourinho that Spurs fans hated. Our players clearly don't like playing that way either. Luis Enrique is very different. In the worse case scenario that he stays for a year, it will still be a positive culture shift for the club
The only thing that concerns me about Luis Enrique is the fact that he has been out of club football since 2017 and his age. But his possession tactics are among the best in the world and if he is open to a long term contract thats fine to me. He speaks English too. He was my first choice until Nagelsmann's availability

It's fine, we're only contacting him so Chelsea can hijack it
The weird thing about Enrique is that his Barcelona tenure was defined by evolving and moving on from the tiki-taka, possession-for-the-sake-of-possession style of his predecessors, whereas his Spain tenure was defined by the return and reimposition of the tiki-taka, possession-for-the-sake-of-possession style that the program had drifted away from.
Didn't he already say he's only interested in taking on a club that's ambitious?
I don't think either party would be interested
His Spain team minus one or two games was boring as fuck, to make it work we’d need to keep Kane and then buy De Jong, Gavi and those types. My gut is this would be a disaster appointment.
I am all for not getting Poch back if we have a more suitable alternative. So far only Naglesmann is better suited IMO.
Poch honestly might be the most credible manager who would take the job.
I'd go back in for Paulo Fonseca before I'd hire Rodgers or Potter, that's so grim.
So why wasn't it an issue when we tried to re-appoint him 2 years ago, make it make sense please?
Wait, so you guys don't want to see Harry Winks revival under Enrique next season? ..
Agree, but I’m assuming it’s a no-go. If there was any interest, he’d already be back.
I agree, but I bet he’s one we talk to. The law article says we also like kompany, Nagelsmann and slot. It’s at pains like lots of others today to point out that we haven’t contacted Poch. It’s almost like all these journos have been briefed today about our former manager.
Tottenham out to hijack Chelsea's move for Luis Enrique with talks planned
We're about to hijack, guys
