Potter is the best English manager for me. Plays a good brand of football and is a humble guy unlike the facking caant Allardyce.

We struck gold with Poch from Southampton, I doubt lightening would strike twice.

Nagelsmann from RB for me.

Come on guys, Potter and Hassenhutl ? Have we really slumped this low ? Would you see any of chelsea, United etc going for these guys ? We are a team trying to be CL regulars and have been for years. These guys are mid table / relegation fodder. They are not on our level ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You really need to look at the bigger picture Don.

Look at Hansi Flick's background before joining Bayern.

Fergie managed in the SPL before joining Utd.

Guardiola's first big job was Barcelona, look at him.

Getting in old Managers with medals from years and years ago doesn't necessary make them a better fit.

The team needs some magic and we have an evil villain we need getting rid of. Potter is the perfect candidate.

Don, just because they are managing mid-table clubs it doesn't mean they couldn't do good jobs. We have gone for the most decorated manager in the last 20 years and it doesn't look like this is working out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------



But try have done nothing to suggest they could do a job at a big club like Spurs. Getting Brighton out of a relegation battle and getting Southampton into midtable is a lot different than trying to get Spurs regularly in the CL. If Potter had got Brighton in the top 7, then you have a point. That would be a spectacular job and people would take notice. He hasn’t, he’s been on the fringes of relegation the whole time he’s been there. Hassenhutl the same until this season, where he’s got them to the lofty heights of mid table. Both not good enough for Spurs. Small time talk this is.

What big picture though mate ? None of these have done anything. Would want a manager with some pedigree if Jose goes. Someone like Ten Hagen or the the Leipzig coach I can understand. Won trophies and managed big players in the CL. That’s who I would want. Not Harry f^^ Potter for Brighton Hove Albion and Hassenhutl

They are gambles but any manager comes with that element of risk that they won't work out, with the possible exception of the very best managers right now like Pep and Klopp, that we obviously can't get.

Poch was in a similar position having not managed a big club before us. You can certainly argue he did better with Saints than Potter is with Brighton but I think he had a better group to work with.

I would put Potter in the running at least. His football is an antidote to the one Jose serves up for one thing.

I'm actually part Welsh on my grandmother's side but I tend to discount that when it comes to football.

I think people are so desperate to get Mourinho out, you are looking at any alternative that might play the odd good football, hence the Harry Potter shout out from Brighton on here. Brentford play nice football, shall we go for the Brentford manager ? Sorry guys, the only big picture I’m seeing here is the desperation to get Jose out and get any one in you can think of. If you want Jose out the fair play, but come up with better alternatives than these guys ffs

It's not just what he did with Brighton though, he did exceptionally with Ostersund. Basically put them on the map.

I totally agree with Don here
Can’t actually believe what I’m seeing , Ralph and Potter ffs
Don is correct when he says the big boys don’t consider these guys and it’s for good reason, when you’re in Europe and aiming for CL its a different ball game than mid table in PL
All I can think is the hatred of Jose is messing with peoples objectivity and rational thinking

No doubt about it. It’s one thing wanting Jose out and fair play, I can see why some people are getting fed up, but it’s another to then put Graham bloody Potter and Hassenhutl in the mix. 2 bog standard managers not fit enough to manage a club like Spurs, no thanks

Our 2 best managers in the last 15 years, in terms of performances and enjoyment in watching Spurs (and some may disagree) were Poch and Redknapp. The rest were/are managers who had won stuff and been in charge of bigger clubs compared to those 2.

We need to win stuff for sure, but we need to be able to enjoy supporting Spurs at the same time. I think we sometimes overrate how much involvement the manager will have in winning things anyway. Ultimately the players at their disposal are going to get you the trophies. The investment from Levy is going to be the decider. Things may change with Mourinho here but we are not currently enjoying it and he can't use the excuse of lack of investment. There's no reason why even a manager at a lesser club couldn't get more out of this lot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten Hag has won the dutch league once 3 years ago and has a few dutch cups as well. Naglesmann has won nothing in terms of honours as a coach except for plaudits due his age and style of football.

I like to see them manage someone else in the prem before taking a punt on them with Spurs.

If you are going to go down the young manager route and taking a punt, I would prefer Scott Parker. Started his coaching career with us. Managed to get Fulham promoted. Had alot of injuries to contend with at the start of the season. Has brought wisely too. They seem a solid unit compared to earlier in the season.

Of course he hasn't won anything but the majority of Spurs fans on here seem to want pretty football and have no ambition in terms of their managerial choices for winning trophies.

For that reason I still back Jose. The next few games will be rough as Davies will be playing every game but he ho feck it. But one day if Parker gets the job he will have my backing.

Not so much the 9-0, but the fact saints go through such peaks and troughs in a season is making me start to doubt Hassunhutl.

Rodgers has always been my number 1 target. Top level experience and consistently overachieved with his teams. Nagglesman would be second choice. Either of those would be fantastic.

Potter and Hassunhutl would be much more of a risk, but both are far superior manager's to the hapless Jose.

Spurtle, I really don’t think Harry Kane is going to be to impressed if we bring in someone like Graham Potter. Sorry mate, it reeks of small time this.

Pochettino was lucky. Rarely does that happen where a manager comes in with next to no credentials and puts Spurs into a CL final. If you think we will unearth another Pochettino by nabbing Hassenhutl then good luck to you. Very naive mate.

Nobody is saying that at all. If you want Mourinho gone, then come up with a replacement better than Graham Potter from Brighton
