Jesse Marsch has all but sewn up the RBL job by all accounts. Dortmund have Marco Rose. That leaves.... Leverkusen? Monchengladbach? Surely Spurs have more pulling power than them? Bundesliga or not?
The only thing I would be fearful of is that it’s quite obvious he wasn’t first choice, which may be a turn off.
I like your optimism, but I fear he has one absolutely glorious turd in his locker that he’s waiting to unleash.
With options dropping, I can see someone like Martinez being picked.
Rogers has basically laughed at us so he’s out...the list is getting shorter by the day...
You Can slate Levy for a lot of things but to have a go at him for not getting it right with managerial appointments and picking the cheaper option is totally rewriting history.
He came in and immediately sacked George Graham who everybody despised and replaced him with Glenn Hoddle who everyone wanted at the time.
He replaces Hoddle with Santini and Jol. Yes Santini didnt work but he had good credentials and the sentiment at the time was "How did spurs pull that off". Santini was replaced by Jol who again eveyone loved.
He replaced Jol with Juande Ramos who was majorly successful at Sevilla winning 5 trophies. At the the time the sentiment was "How did Spurs pull that off". Ultimately he failed here but he did win a trophy.
He replaced Ramos with Redknapp which was a big success.
He replaced Redknapp with AVB which was the first appointment that didn't really make sense and failed.
He replaced Redknapp with Pochettino which at the time most people wanted other candidates. It worked brilliantly.
He then replaces Poch with Mourinho and his bumper wages. Of course now we can say it failed but the thinking behind it from Levy's perspective made total sense. We've tried the young up and coming manager approach so lets try a different approach with a proven winner.

This is a hard choice because there are quite a few good ones on the list, but I like Scott Parker. He doesn't have the experience that we would want (which is why I think he has very little chance), but he loves the club, and the club (including the fanbase) love him. He's honest, works hard, and I think he'd be in it for the long haul, which I believe is what we need from a manager (provided he meets the club's goals, of course). I've had enough of the seasoned managers who have experience with big clubs (Benitez who , Allegri), and there are quite a few who would likely leave in a heartbeat if one of Europe's elite came calling, and so even if they served us well in the short-term, we'd be looking again very soon if they took us to the heights we envision. I'd like to see a long-term manager with Spurs (10+ years), and I think Parker and Potter are the best choices for that reason, but I'll take Parker because he has history with the club. I definitely don't want to see Benitez (he plain sucks), Bielsa (management style doesn't match the club) or Jardim (his last two seasons in Monaco were horrible), and although Gerrard seems a great manager, he'd likely be off to Liverpool the second Klopp is out.
i'm buying that.For those on the Ten Hag train, Ajax has just released this magnificent 3rd Kit for next season. A nod to Bob Marley, whose song Three Little Birds they have adopted.
Maybe it's a sign for you because EVERY SINGLE time I hear it I got right back to CL Semi-Final, "cos every little thing is gonna be alright"

have you see that clip on youtube of the Ajax fans singing three little birds to Bob Marley's son?
it's fucking beautiful
Genuine goosebumps
ENJOY
Our managerial appointments have no structure. I don’t know what club we are because each time we get a manager they are completely different from the last, that doesn’t to me look like a real plan. We go from defensive managers to attacking to pragmatists, it’s all over the shop.
Of the managers that have worked 2 have been emergency Jol and Redknapp and 1 was a second choice after Van Gaal (thank god we didn’t get him). I will give Levy Poch even if he was 2nd choice but he should not be picking them. We should have a DoF with a clear vision based on the clubs attacking history choosing managers in line with that. We should not ever again have a defensive manager brought in, it just doesn’t work with our fans nor it seems with the club.
Levy has been good at emergency appointments so I kind of expect this one to work. The pattern of Ramos > Redknapp to AVB > Poch to Jose > ? hopefully can be repeated.
The way this list is getting smaller by the hour,i reckon Ryan Mason might have more than just the 5 games left in charge...
Winning a cup with Spurs is more difficult than with Ajax, fool.
Winning the Erevidisie is more difficult than beating Chelsea B, Stoke and Brentford.
Time to add him onto the list! seriously though that is a fucking terrifying proposition
If we appoint Dyche, I'm praying Perez can make us stick in the ESL.
I'd like to feel morally superior about quitting the club, at least.
Hahaha it's just Jim White chatting absolute horse shit to generate phone-ins, don't worry.
That said I'd take Dyche if I supported a club with no European ambitions - the Newcastles and Southamptons of the league.

If I were a player, I would give everything for Dyche.
Not saying he's the man for Tottenham, but out of all of the top flight managers - for me personally I have always thought this is a guy I would run until I vomit for.
