Whoever we appoint. And whenever we appoint them. Some will claim Levy has pulled "A Rabbit out of the hat"

Not gonna happen, you've wasted your money.
Too much bad blood between sharky and levy.
Probably but no one knows for sure by the high ups at the club.
The question is, if not, why the fuck not?
They didn't sack Conte because of his outburst at Southampton. It might have been a little OTT, but that in isolation is not a red button moment. They must have been thinking about sacking him, or replacing him after his contract runs out on Wednesday...........
ooooooh. I get it.
Daniel Greedy is just waiting for the 01/06 expiration of Conte's £17m a year contract to run out to make his move.
Leicester have Maddison, Barnes, Ndidi, Tielemans, Tete, Castagne, Justin,... and got relegated.
Rodgers is a busted flush.
JN is the only manager that would fit that remit for me now.
With unemployed candidates, we can of course make direct approaches. Whether we have is , as you say, a whole different matter.
With employed candidates, I'd imagine we deal with agents first , to avoid the risk of tapping up charges.
Given Bayern sacked (in every meaningful sense of the word) Nagelsmann but are still paying his salary & demanding substantial compensation, there may be some legal reason for not making "direct" contact.
Alternately, his agent may have said: "no point talking until you have a DoF with real power over recruitment & a meaningful 'project'".
Or we simply don't know what we're doing....
I wanted Rodgers in 2012 instead of AVB. I wasnt even against the idea after Poch got sacked but he feels like yesterdays man. I dont think he's terrible but it would be the most underwhelming, dispiriting appointment of the realistic candidates. In an ideal world i want the appointment to be like the 2012 Rodgers or the 2014 Poch, someone new with fresh ideas.
Probably because a)Levy wants to lower expectations among the fans and b)employ a yes man who'll tow the ENIC line.
Especially after he's previous appointments raised expectations but ultimately exposed him as the fraud that he is.
Ryan Mason ticks both the above boxes.
The longer this drags out, the more I see it happening
Imagine taking 66 days (let's face it, it's going to be at least 2 more weeks as well) to come up with an identity for this club, do your due diligence on coaches and DOF's, then reach the conclusion that the best man for the job is Brendan Rodgers who just got Leicester relegated.
No, that is not the same logic at all. How do not understand that?
Rodgers got 12 points from 23 matches and managed Leicester into April. His replacement got 9 points from 8 matches. Rodgers was 100% to blame for Leicester's relegation, he's the one that dug the hole they could not escape from. Rodgers managed 76% of Leicester's season, and they were relegated despite better form in that 24%.
Nuno got 15 points from 10, hardly top 4 form. Nuno managed 26% of the season, and it took a significant increase in form over the remaining 74% for us to secure top 4.
This really isn't very hard.
If we employ Mason and sell Kane I can see us lurking about near the bottom of the table, I don't think even Levy wants that to occur.
Sad that some of you hate Levy more than you support Spurs and have to try and twist everything into a discussion of Levy. Time to change your username, I believe.
Celtic fan in peace.
Apologies, I couldn't help myself. Also I have alot of Spurs fan friends from London, so whilst not "worried" about your beautiful club taking our wonderful manager, I thought it apt to weigh in with a perspective.
Ange is NOT for you.
He knows it. We know it.
I'm pretty sure you guys know it.
And yes, Im fully expecting all the "wee club / backwater" pish that usually drips out of EPL fans, but I'd like to think Spurs fans are different, and if not, at least aware of their current circumstances.
Ange is not for you for the primary reason of TIME.
He won't get any.
Ange Postecoglous style of football, whilst not an anomaly to the EPL, is extremely specific. Currently, you do not have the players to perform for him. Including , but not limited to, your FB positions, wingers, and centre Mids. Ironically, your CB positions wouldn't bother him. (Thanks for CCV btw, literally the best CB we've had since VVD, and that's not an exaggeration, he's an absolute wall.).
If I may also say, your players don't have the requisite attitude to play for him.
He's a hard ass. Nothing less than 100% sees a player dropped and there's NEVER a complaint from Celtic players. They know the demands They know his mantra. They know his resolve. He demands absolute obedience to his "philosophy" and any notion of disharmony to his footballing ideals is usually met with the subs bench.
Forgive me for saying, but the current players at Tottenham don't exactly exude obedience, or indeed acquiescence to leadership.
Frankly speaking, Ange Postecoglou would need 8 months and a budget of at least 100m.
He's worked absolute wonders with us with a budget of under 40 in two windows. But that's because he knows the market he's shopping in.
With Spurs, you'd need at least DOUBLE that in ONE window, to at least give the Spurs fans some faith. Some proof of his ideas and to see the fruits of his labours.
The EPL is ruthless.
Now, on to the unfortunate truth.
At this moment in time, another Celtic manager is absolutely PERFECT for you.
Yep. Dickhead Rodgers.
And yes, he's a MASSIVE dickhead.
But what he also is, is one of the finest man managers in European football. He can take a squad on its knees and have it playing a great brand of football that blows oppositions away. He gives belief and purpose to players.
What he can't do is sign a fucking player to save his life.
He comes with baggage.
An entourage of halfwits who don't have a FUCKING CLUE what a player looks like.
I'm sure I don't need to go into specifics, as history reads itself quite well.
EVERY team he's managed have a two year "glory" period.
Then.. it's all downhill. He signs shite, keeps playing the shite, and then ends up defending or attacking same shite.
Make no mistake, he CANNOT be allowed to sign players.
A DoF who has the balls to tell him to stfu is essential.
It's literally why he jumped ship from us. The club let him sign nearly 15m worth of pish (real money in our "backwater") and decided to sign players that scouts recommended instead.
He's on record complaining about it.",I don't need anymore wingers" etc etc.
But, I digress.
Ange is not for you.
Rodgers is, but for two seasons MAX.
Then find a manager with an actual fucking plan to bring your club to where it should be.
A European FORCE.
Ta ta and goodbye.
Good luck to yas. Always had a wee soft spot.
Now fuck away off away from Big Ange

My son said the same when I told him what I had been told.
Rodgers tipped off Redknapp when Levy was looking to get rid of him is the story I believe?
Yes mate.Bookmarked so I can relish your failed attempt at ITK status.
I will look forward to that.
I will never be able to walk in Memphis again I take it?
The irony is too much to take here.
I’m not on the list tho, twatwaffle.
