You don't think the vision there came from the Chairman? Ok.
The rest of your post 100%, they won't have an idea of HOW, but they have set the requirements and brought in the right people to make it happen.
Do I trust Levy to do the same?
Let's just say the jury is out in that one. Only time will tell
Yes and No.
We're defnitely not getting Nagelsmann, which I believe was first choice for many.
However there are still quite a few managerial options available that we COULD end up with. Slot is the best of those (for us) in my opinion.
So don't tell us what we think.
I would like Slot - he ticks the boxes for me. Progressive, attacking football - project manager. I'd have preferred Nagelsmann, but Slot is the next best thing and we should absolutely go for him.
Until the root cause (ENIC) is dealt with, it's all a moo point anyway.
If Bagelsmann comes back on the scene I'd settle for him too.
But there are definitely some names that would be far from fucking inspiring.
De Zerbi is a choice that I am not 100%, he took over a Potter team that started great, was all set and has basically carried on but he hasn’t had to build anything just maintain it at a very well run club. Interesting that Brighton apparently had Gallardo and Postecoglou as their main targets and went for him afterwards. So if it’s Brighton we are after surely those two must come into frame.
Whomever we get, they're fucked under Levy and ENIC.
It really doesn't matter who we appoint, nothing will ever change.

Not sure it even makes sense to chase Brighton targets, players or managers. The targets they chase work in the environment of their club. They know what they are and how to recruit for it.
Gil and Sarr for example would probably be worth 90m each if they were at Brighton instead of Spurs. We need to figure out what the fuck we actually are before we start thinking about chasing targets.
We have had 23 years under ENIC to figure out what we are. The club sells football and yet doesn’t know what brand to play, it’s comical, even I know you need to pick a philosophy and embed it like everyone else does from Man City to Brighton if you want success.
Our board is all accountants and PR and they haven’t the first clue about the actual game itself. They are lucky we are fans, if we where customers only then the fanbase would be down the road at the scum.
Someone needs to put a sign in the boardroom saying ‘’what are we?’’ And it doesn’t come down till the club has fixed a plan whether that be some variation of Pepball or Kloppball we make a choice.
hope its not amorim
I agree with you on the idea, but we need far more than 3 big signings.
GK, the whole CB trident, a LB/LWB to compete with young Destiny, CM x 2 (a ballwinner and a more creative/attacking type), at least 2 wingers/FWD, a new cover for Harry...
That really is how poor our current squad is that we need so many new bodies in. And obviously that's testament to the utter shite work our decision-makers have been doing for years. I mean: Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga, Rodon, Sessegnon, Winks, Dombs, GLC, Moura, Richy...they all need to do one. I ain't that bothered about Romero, Perisic, Hojbjerg and Kulusevski either to be honest.
In my opinion, Nagelsmann told Spurs something along the lines of the above - just as Poch, Mourinho & Conte did before - and that's why they came out with that fucking lie saying they never were interested in him. Russ Williams said as much on LWOS.
Dan Dan & that cunt Donna are so up their own arse, they'll never admit they got it wrong. They'll just keep on blaming everybody else. I also think they're so clueless and delusional that they've convinced themselves our squad is actually well good and that all we need is a good coach and a couple cheap acquisitions. Which obviously would be terrific business for them...you get back into the CL without having spent a fortune. But it don't work like that...
Hercules from SC, who as you all know is Tier Gold ITK, saying he has the official info from his source at the club re new manager. Done deal, he's got the deets on the contract and all the juicy stuff.
But he'll only be able to announce it on SC when the deal's been in the media so as to not burn his source.
Nice lad.
GK - yes
CB - Def 1 this summer and hopefully another
LB - not high priority with Davies and Udogie (let's see what happens with Perisic)
CM - If we can shift Hojberg then yes another 6. We need an 8/10 regardless
FWD - Depends on new manager and Son/Kane decisions. If Kane goes then the whole thing changes but most likely we sign 1 forward this summer.
That's a target of 4/5 in unless we get core members out.
`not really a drastic summer rebuild needed, more like a continuation of the rebuild. Biggest signings this summer are DOF and Manager. Munn could be if he actually persuades Levy to step away from football decisions.
Only time we knew what we were was under Poch.
That coach and all the upstairs decision-makers have since left. DOF and Manager are pivotal choices now.
100%, that was a wee bit ridiculous and even insulting to say that about the fans.
Real lost this week but Bill won today
Trix has backed him up on this. They think they're really advanced (presumably with Slot based on the thread).
