Why is everyone so hyped on Rangnick? He's reaching his mid 60s, have never set his foot outside of Germany and has been without a job for two years (?). I have never heard much of him or seen his teams play, so just curious.
I bloody well hope so.
I totally get why people are cautious about Potter if he was appointed at Spurs with some of the big names and egos of certain players currently in the squad that’s why I believe with the emphasis he places in Sports science and wellbeing would come into its own and he build a sound cohesive unit through his methodical approach.I’d love to have a successful English manager and would be happy to give Potter or Parker a go. Trouble is, I can’t see our squad and their over inflated egos* buying into it. So I’ve gone for Ten Hag. He’s also built a proper system and philosophy around the club, bringing youth through and developing players.
*I also wouldn’t mind a complete overhaul of the squad based on youth with very view of the current lot retained!
Maupay is a decent striker but lacks consistency and focus in games
But we’ve been here before, we know how to operate outside the fabled CL gates, I’d argue that’s been when we’ve been at our most creative. We’ve not just closed the financial gap to the other “big 5”, we’ve overtaken one of them and brought ourselves on par with another. We’ve overtaken the likes of Juve and Dortmund too in Europe.Thanks for your reply, and you're right Mourinho left behind a shambles and a lot of poison.
Your last point was my concern. We don't have the pulling power of Man U or the Chavs without European competition.
He’s garbage, albeit not quite as pitiful as Winks/SissokoI know he had a bit of a shocker on Sunday but not sure how Hojbjerg is in your top 3 list to be first out the door. Great first half of the season before being run in to the ground. Only Lloris played more minutes this season. I think he'll be a really important player for us again next season, possibly alongside Skipp. We've just bought him too. Don't see the logic in offloading him.
Hojbjerg.My vote goes to whoever boots out Sissoko, Winks and Holberg on his first day
You will very shortly get a little bit of sick in your mouthI can see Levy waiting to see how England perform at the Euros. Think he may try to lure Southgate away.
Southgate is very aware of young English talent, has worked with many of our squad and is' liked' by the media.
Not sure how I feel about actually putting that thought down in words?!?
Have we got to rename a local pub ?
Really ? He likes Dier ?I can see Levy waiting to see how England perform at the Euros. Think he may try to lure Southgate away.

Most of the reports say that we want a manager in before the euros. Which should rule out Southgate. I also read that he himself does not want to leave until after the 2022 world cup as well.I can see Levy waiting to see how England perform at the Euros. Think he may try to lure Southgate away.

I personally don’t even think he’s the right manager for England let alone Spurs.I can see Levy waiting to see how England perform at the Euros. Think he may try to lure Southgate away.
