Straitjacket and padded cell would be more apt!

Yeah i see what you are saying. Oddly, IMV anyway, Frank is a little bit still un-known because he has had what he has had to work with at Brentford and stability is probably their go-to to keep them in the Prem and at a respectable position. They'll want to push on but don't have the might to do it.I'm not sold on Frank at all. Just think he'll be another Nuno. Nuno is cooking this year at Forrest and proven himself to be a very competent manager but the fit at Spurs was all wrong. I feel like Frank could be similar.
Iraola feels more like Poch. It'll be that high intensity press but just far more balanced and tactically adoptable than Ange. Frank's style falls more into the Nuno category imo. I think we need an attacking style of play for it to work long term!
Poch's buyout is rumored to be 20mil. Dont think Levy will pay that
Levy's "last throw of the dice"
We'll all be saying.......For the umpteenth time![]()
Sorry to break it to anyone who is still dreaming of a Poch return but its never happening under Levy. I see the bookies have him priced up 11/2, but in my head its at least a 100/1 shot. Let me explain why.
It was an absolute penalty kick to bring back Poch in the Summer of 2023. The fans were singing his name for the last 10 games of the season. He was the obvious candidate and wanted to return. He was available and probably would have convinced Kane to stay.The stars had aligned. It was a no brainer! Yet we didn't bring him in.... Whats changed in the last 2 years for Levy to change his mind? Poch went to Chelsea and did his reputation no good there. He's also now managing another team so its more complicated/expensive to get him. There isn't a hope of Levy even considering him for an interview. If he didn't bring him in during the Summer of 2023 then he never will!
We all love to dream of happy endings but this is just a non-runner. It is never happening. Sorry to break it to anyone who genuinely thinks there is a chance!
Shadydan ...are you going to add Poch to your original list? Would be v. interesting...
Now we'll see what people really really want. Thanks, mate.

He's done a good job, and I would'nt mind listening to him a few times a week at press conferences, and boy i bet he is a good coach and the players would really buy in to him - I just wonder if he is not quite the caliber to take up at Spurs.
A far sight better than Ange, of that there is no doubt. He's done an excellent job at Brentford.

If you are Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, who do you want to learn the game from?
Iraola, Frank, Silva, or Xavi Hernandez?
Bearing in mind Xavi wanted Bergvall at Barca anyway before we got him.
He might struggle in the PL. Got fired in 3 seasons in Barcelona. Not too convinced.
and if you could add my boy Dino Toppmoller so i can be the sole fanboy it would be appreciated
