I haven`t got a clue anymore.
Ten Hag is a good option and plays very attractive football.
Allegri will play the same style as Jose.
Allegri would be more of the same - a (theoretically) successful, defensive manager who would probably underachieve given the tighter restraints at Spurs.
Ten Hag or Potter are more likely to bring through youth, and encourage a tactical ethos throughout the whole club from the first-team down to the youth setup. They also play far more attractive football and are less likely to demand big signings.
For me, Ten Hag or Potter are the obvious choices - but either would mean a long-term project requiring patience and potentially a short-term hit on results. Is that likely under Levy? I don't know if he'd stick with a boss who didn't get top 4 on a shoestring.
I'm up for it. It can't get any worse, can it? ...
I'd be pretty happy with Ten Hag. The Ajax side we played were immense, completely played us off the park at the lane.
It seems like he has a decent track record before Ajax as well. Would happily get on board with him now Naggelsmann and Rodgers aren't happening.
If not ETH then I'd definitely prefer Potter over Parker. His work in Sweden with Osterunds was impressive by all accounts and, whilst Parker has started well, he just doesn't have enough experience.
We need an identity again. Whether it be high energy pressing, fast counter attacks or tiki taka. We need something. And it needs to be trained into the youth set up. We need a manager who has the mandate to blood youngsters without fear or reprisals (ie getting the sack after a few games).
So not Allegri.
Ten Hag, Potter or Rangnick(wasnt keen on him but read a lot on him last night and am now open)
Allegri, Martinez, Southgate and Nuno are names ive seen that should be nowhere near being candidates
I read a line earlier that made me chuckle.
Ten Hag would be able to relate to our fan base given Spurs are responsible for his worst moment in football too.
Ten Hag would be a good hire.... Allegri is just an Italian Jose

Basically start over the whole Poch saga.
Ten Hag will need a few seasons to get you going. Sandy will declare the quadruple won at the start of the season. Then because the manager is doing well, wont get further signings. Then the team starts to decline, Sandy will start writing letters, Ten Hag will be sacked. Rinse repeat.

That's excellent.
And let's be honest. We should never have beaten Ajax. They battered us over most of both legs. And we were lucky against City too 🙈

On this note, it makes it doubly ridiculous that Jose was appointed, given his style of football is diametrically opposed to the type of football Poch ensured was coached in the Spurs youth teams for the best part of five years ...
Nothing wrong with ETH if you give him the right material to work with, but don't let him make the final decisions on transfers.
He's a lot like Van Gaal, very good at seeing talent in younger players and improving them, but poor at identifying (senior) targets. Got players like Labyad and Klaiber from his previous club Utrecht to Ajax who were never going to be good enough for that level.
So you want to pair him with a good TD who has the same idea's on football. Or just buy all the young talents from Ajax like you guys used to do
Looks like Ajax basically won the league already.

Yup. I'd love the potential for a new, exciting project under Ten Hag... but the elephant in the room will always be Levy. The ESL fiasco suggests he no longer has the long-term patience that he did when he first hired Pochettino. As long as he continues being a control freak about running the club, then Ten Hag would be hamstrung. If he got a top DoF in though (Rangnick...?) then Ten Hag could work wonders at the club

im very ready for this again though
Levy is a huge problem for Spurs. He won't, but he really needs to step aside from the football side of things and appoint a director of football.
The Jose debacle shows how clueless Levy is about football, whilst our recent signings don't exactly show the transfer committee in the best of light.
We need a new structure with a DoF and head of recruitment working with the new manager. But levy has no intention of allowing this to happen unfortunately.

If there had been a poll from Spurs fans when Mou was appointed on 'will he succeed', I reckon 90% of fans would have said 'he'll be a total disaster you IDIOT LEVY!'
Madness. I'm still shaking my head nearly 2 years later.
He would do well at Spurs actually I think. Seemingly almost an opposite style to Mourinho in some ways, he would bring a Dutch style total football to Spurs which I think would suit your players and would be the inverse of many of the issues Mourinho faced at Spurs.
It would be a long-term fix though and with all the rumours of Kane leaving, players happiness etc, Ten Haag is no stranger to a rebuilding job either as that's pretty much the situation he is in at Ajax at the moment.

Wasn't Nigelsmann the reason Spurs fans on here wanted Jose out in the first place?
Oh dear, we are doomed!
