Paratici?
Or as Mr. Gold would say in an Italian chef accent "pallerteechy"
I'd say fk off gold for starters, you're ear infections are not getting any sympathy from me. And fk your compatriot mate Paratici as well.
Chris
I'm not saying Gold is lying but I think it's important to remember that a lot of what he says is his opinion based on what he's heard. He's said recently how hard it is reporting on Spurs right now because everything changes so fast etc.
Of course it's possible, and maybe likely that the whole process has been a complete shambles with no real plan in place. But it's also possible and likely that no one outside of the club really knows what's going on, who's actually been interviewed and sent an offer, and who was just sounded out via agents etc.
Like the Eriksen coverage, we're all eating it up and we're all to blame, it's like a soap opera at this point. All I've seen in terms of solid evidence is the Sevilla president taking about the approach to Lopetegui and Fonseca, with his Mrs talking about moving. Even that's pretty tenuous.
If BBC report it, it is most likely true. They post gossip on their gossip page but if they corroborate a story it gets an article. BBC dont work like Sun and Daily Mail where gossip is published as truth

Totally agree. He's narrowed the manager hunt down to managers only represented by Mendes. It's an effing joke. This is the opposite of what we need to be doing. He's actively ruling out progressive types like Ten Hag, Potter and Poch (to a lesser extent) in favour of those proposed by Mendes. It's scandalous.
I've never wanted a man out before he's in but this is problem the most important decision we'll make for years and we're leaving to this charlatan.
I'm done.

Potter is clearly a very good coach
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All this from one season in the prem. Eddie Howe was a good coach also not so long ago...talked up for England job. Funny how quick ish changes with fans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not all just from 1 season in the PL. Don’t talk about things you know nothing about
Why do so many Spurs supporters prefer Potter to Martinez?
Martinez is top PL manager IMO.
He did an excellent job at Wigan. He basically kept a championship level team on championship budget in PL for many years. All the while playing good football and winning a trophy.
Then he went to Everton and gave them their best season in the last decade. Which none of those big name managers that followed him could replicate.
So what is this fascination with Potter? He hasn’t achieved anything close to what Martinez achieved in PL. so can someone explain why Potter will be a better option than Martinez?
Should've gone for Rangnick as DoF. Proven to know what he's doing (unlike Paratici), is open to a project in England, and would've given himself the job as interim by now - avoiding this hilarious PR disaster.
The one time you lot could actually benefit from a guy who worked with or turned Chelsea down

What do you know about Potter? Don't pretend you had anything to say about him 2 years ago. That would be a pure lie
Too much pretence in the social media. Wilder had a better rookie season than Potter.
So should we sign Wilder??
It's extremely boring listening to reactive ITKs pretending that Potter or Conte is an assured success. Nothing is guaranteed whoever we get. The main thing is what playing staff are you giving the new manager.
Jose as much as I despised the football. Outscored Chelsea and equalled Liverpools goals scored.
His main issue was going on the backfoot after we scored. Any other manager wouldn't be as negative so I think if Kane stays...our football under any other manager would be more attacking.

I agree.
A decent manager and a £50m CB and we'd instantly be loads better.
That ain't Martinez IMO though. He hasn't out performed Southgate with the worlds no.1 international team.

Martinez will come up short in big games. But with our team and 2 new CBs I'll actually be positive about us finishing Top 4/5 with any coach.
Our CBs were atrocious and so were our transitions. The CBs kept playing long balls to no one, bypassing fat more talented ball players in the midfield.
There's a misplaced arrogance in our CBs that football should be short quick passes. Everything had to be direct goals with one 30 yard pass. That's what annoyed me the most about our play. The lack of movement from goal kicks and defence.
I dont think Jose worked on this at all. Because he didn't believe in possession the players felt everytim the had the ball they needed to create a goal scoring chance which meant speculative hoof ball to get us into the final third as quick as possible.
Any new coach...even Santos will have more faith in our midfielders and trust them to use the ball better than our long ball defenders.

You forgot the bit about Martinez then following his very good debut season at Everton with 2 seasons of mediocrity finishing Everton in 11th with 25 points less than his debut season. I think that is why people find it difficult to take to him. It's not like he didn't have decent players either. They had Lukaku up front.

It's always a concern when you're appointing managers where you have to say "I hope he's learnt his lesson". We did that with Mourinho and he ultimately hadn't learnt his lesson. The trick is to appoint managers who already have learnt and/or are on an upward trajectory.

Everton normally finish around 8 to 11 with a points total in fifties. That is their level. It’s not like supposed world class managers who followed him did any better.
In anycase, I still haven’t seen any good reasoning for taking Potter over Martinez. Potter hasn’t done anything significant so far, and he is only a year younger.

Potter not done enough for me. Would be a massive gamble. Second season syndrome hasn't even been tested yet.
Potter describes his teams as "tactically flexible, attacking,possession-based".At Östersund, he deployed a flexible 3–5–2 formation centred on ball possession.[69][70] Former Celtic and Barcelona player Henrik Larsson commented on Potter's pattern of play, stating he "played all different kinds of systems, starting off a match one way, and then halfway through they started playing a different system, and then they ended up with a third system. And all the players knew exactly what they were doing.
At Swansea, Potter used ten different formations and his team completed the most passes per 90 minutes in the Championship.
As a young coach, Potter studied the training methods of Roberto Martínez at Swansea and became inspired by his possession-based approach, along with the "holistic" training principles he observed during his travels to Spain.Potter also cites the philosophy of Pep Guardiola and Raymond Verheijen's periodisation model among his influences.
Inspired by Martinez....this should be interesting
