Do we really have any egos?

Romero is the one player who clearly has grand ideas. Maddison has played in a side that got relegated. Richarlison is crocked and average.

Other than that, it’s youngsters and solid pros like Solanke.

Our problem is likely our lack of arrogant, ambitious players.

Vic looks like he’s not short of an opinion or two. Porro? Djed and his gangsta interview fancy dress? Biss and Bents strike me as thinking they know better. Romero certainly. Madds almost certainly.

Don’t know any of them, just a feeling I get that they think they have cracked it at a “big club”.

It’d got to be either ego that they know better than the manager, which is why they can’t string two passes together, track runners, etc, or they are pussies that lack fight. I’m in the fence.

And this is no defence of Ange. I get that he’s lost it.

Whoever Spurs hire it's important the players respect him. That's a different thing from whether they like him personally or embrace his style of play. You can see Spurs play and get a sense the players need structure. The talent is there, but it is placed in a context where adherence to a system is valued over everything else. Winning matters and that drive to win doesn't seem to be there yet. I hope if Spurs make a change it will be to a pragmatic manager who brings a prepared team to every match.

Not paying for Slot when we had the chance or Levy just putting his ego aside and picking up the phone to Pochettino has fucked us.

This is now the manager level we are at.

Those 2 are decent. I prefer Marco Silva because since Fulham has been getting better every year under him and also won the EFL which is like 10 times harder to win compared to SPFL. Iraola is still ? for me but I get that he is an up and coming manager. Lets hope it will either be Iraola, Silva or Frank.

To try and put a positive on this, I do believe now is the best time to take over at Tottenham rather than the worst. You don't have a Harry Kane to be sold under you and the bar has been set unbelievably low by the predecessor.

It's a blank canvas to come in for a rebuild. Even with the massive anchor of Levynomics there is a rare opportunity for a manager to come into Tottenham and leave the club in a better place than where they started. It's still not an easy job but the manager that comes into Spurs and gets it right would enjoy an almost unbelievable managerial career boost.

Just look at Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. They were basically the German Spurs before last season.

Opportunity knocks...

Very well put! I agree with this! Will be the first time since Poch that a new coach can start a new. No expectations, starting from our lowest point since the start of the premier league, a decent squad of young players who will want to build successful careers!

I still hope it’s Iraola, he’s had some poor form at Bournemouth, but hopefully going through a few months of pain will help him learn as a manager and add some new skills. He should also benefit from a season of just domestic games so won’t have to juggle travel and midweek games and working his squad around that etc

I’m all for that. One of the best footballers I’ve seen and every player would hang on every word. Why not go for him? Players would come and play for him.
In saying that I’m all for going balls deep in getting Alonso in. Leverkusen are or were the German Tottenham,the nearly men and he turned them into a machine.

Why those three? It’s got Nuno written all over it for me. Managing Tottenham is completely different to managing Bournemouth,Brentford,Fulham and Forest. The expectation is on another level.
I like all three of them but I’m not excited or confident they can turn is into what we should be.
 
Iraola is an unexciting choice..
Bournemouth play a modified Angeball - emphasis on running around a lot.
We need an Arteta. Someone who appreciates technical ability

Xavi right now feels like an opportunity to have got Xavi Alonso before he went to Leverkeusen
