I posted an article the other day half joking saying Bilic wants to manage us. Hes been praising us lately so it was kind of suspicious to me.
Just seen this now. Call me mystic messiah
http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/895246-slaven-bilic-confirms-interest-in-becoming-new-tottenham-manager
The Croatia coach was at White Hart Lane on Sunday to run the rule over Luka Modric ahead of the European Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine this summer.
And he revealed before Spurs’ 3-1 win over Swansea: ‘I would be very interested in being the Tottenham manager, they are a major club with a bright future.
‘But [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy needs to be convinced I am the man for the job.’
If Spurs appointed former West Ham and Everton centre-half Bilic as their new boss it would be a major boost in their battle to keep Modric at White Hart Lane.
The midfielder has been linked with summer bids from Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea but Bilic said: ‘Everyone knows huge clubs are interested in Luka but what I told him is that he should not forget how big Tottenham are.’
Spurs are set to offer Modric a bumper new contract at the end of the season if they qualify for next term’s Champions League.
Bilic DOES want to manage Spurs

I'm with spurcat, neither for me to but if i had the choice it would be Billic all day long. Rogers is getting hugely over rated for doing a very good but not spectacular job at swansea. They still are in mid table and played just as good football under Martinez a few years back

Out of the names bandied around Moyes/Rogers/Bilic now I think personally I'd go with the experienced Moyes.

That's irrelevant. What is relevant is that there is no justification in believing that a manager who has had less than a full season in the PL, will have what it takes to sustain a consistent top 4 position in the PL, over many years.
Whether you like/appreciate Harry or not, there can be no doubt his achievements with our club, have considerably raised the bar when it comes to future managerial appointments. And at this moment in time, both Bilic and Rodgers fall short of this benchmark.

Jpb, holloway did a gd job at blackpool, owen coyle at burnley ....they all played excellent football, both over rated and both not good enough for a top team. I'm not saying rogers is this but he needs to prove it for a lot longer to take a job as big as spurs, i think it's knee jerk reactions from spurs fans that assume because sqansea play good football it means he would suit spurs, no thanks.

Dont think its going to happen. Besiktas is a done deal for Slaven after Euro, unless Croatia does well than he stays as national coach for a World Cup.
I wish he stays. I like how we play under him.
