It will always be a disaster whilst Levy plays such a crucial role at the club. Despite spending 23 years as our chairman he still knows next to faaack all about football.
Build us a profitable Stadium - Dans the man, get lucrative sponsorship - yes but why do we have a sponsor that insists on putting red on our shirt.
Build a football team capable of winning trophies - Dan is the very last man I want trying - bloke thinks finishing 4th is a trophy
The reason why it perpetually goes wrong with managerial appointments is because we have the same philosophy as Man United did with their recruitment of players after Ferguson left. We bring in mercenaries looking for one big pay day like Di Maria or Falcao only instead it's managerial crooks like Jose and Conte.
The right manager with the right attitude will be there and the ones best suited to work with us will require a smaller salary with more hunger and ambition than any of these guys that think they're above us. Getting in someone like Enrique repeats those mistakes. Poch is an unusual one. He's a kind of hybrid. He IS a project man that can do it with us, but he's also someone that's worked at bigger clubs like PSG so it remains to be seen if his management style has changed or whether he'd turn up with the same hunger. Guys like Di Zerbi are the ones untouched by glamour. These are the types we need to go for. No more big names. Someone feckin' grateful for once.

Poch is distancing himself, and who can blame him - “be brave Daniel” - sacked 2 months later after getting a team starting with Harry Winks and Sissoko in CM to a CL final.
But like the article infers - the issue is that the managers we are sounding out also think our squad is full of feeble minded losers with the appetite of a gnat with the schitts.
Some great managers in that list thinking “okay central defensive options: Romero - excellent, Davies - he’s okay, Dier - ahh I’m starting to see the problem, Rodon - oh dear, Tanganga - is he still their?, Sanchez - Faaaack faaack faaack”

Poor chairman repeatedly hires the wrong managers and buys players that the managers don't want.... Its a vicious circle that starts & finishes with Levy.

If he does take it, it's because Madrid's interest isn't serious. Of the two clubs, it's a no brainer who you go for. They look to me on the verge of building another great, great team so if they are in for Poch, he'd probably swim there to avoid the Spurs job.
If we don't get Poch, I'm scared it's going to be Enrique which would be repeating all the same mistakes again. I'd be happy with Di Zerbi but I fear Brighton will price us out. There's no way Levy pays a clause when he can get someone in for nothing.

It's worth remembering that Conte criticised the players had at his disposal at Chelsea even though they'd won him the league the year before. He was sacked because of his form and criticisms of the squad.
The same happened at Juve.
Most managers with any kind of level head will recognise this is just what Conte does when he's backed into a corner and his reputation gets questioned. It says more about him than it does about our squad. He's not entirely wrong. He has some valid points but he's also criticising the very thing he's paid to do. If they're not performing, it's on him. If they're low on confidence, it's up to him to pick them up. This to me absolutely reeks of a man in defensive "it's not my fault" mode. Most of what he said we can ignore because the right manager can correct those issues.
He's just a wrong'un. Simple as that.
Remember we had 3 managers in Redknapp, Jol & Poch who gave us some terrific times and full on attacking football.
None of these were so called “elite” managers, yet in a poll of the last couple of decades would certainly be the most popular Spurs manager who the fans loved.
Yes, I would welcome Poch back with open arms, and if not him then either Thomas Frank or Roberto De Zerbi would be good shouts.
Some of the pundits are begging up Vincent Kompany, but not sure about that one. Although he is doing a great job at Burnley🤔

Spot On... Was a terrible hire in the first place, made by a guy who has no idea what he's doing. Only Spurs (the least Checkbook Club of the PL heavyweights could go and hire the 2 most demanding, checkbook reliant managers of the last 25 years).......Utter shambles of a club, rotton to core with absurd delusions of grandeur.

Have you watched Brentford? They play dull percentage football. I don’t want Franks at all.
It’s interesting that other managers believe Conte is right about this squad being weak minded, I think we all knew that.
Those thinking it can’t be that bad, who wouldn’t want to manage Spurs - let’s remember when Jose was sacked we spent 7 weeks without a manager and had to settle for Nuno in the end as the only other options were Fonseca and Gattusso.

If they're not performing, it's on him. If they're low on confidence, it's up to him to pick them up. This to me absolutely reeks of a man in defensive "it's not my fault" mode. Most of what he said we can ignore because the right manager can correct those issues.
He's just a wrong'un. Simple as that.

Good comment. Someone explain the gist of it to StrikeMug 😆

It's worth remembering that Conte criticised the players had at his disposal at Chelsea even though they'd won him the league the year before. He was sacked because of his form and criticisms of the squad.
The same happened at Juve.
Most managers with any kind of level head will recognise this is just what Conte does when he's backed into a corner and his reputation gets questioned. It says more about him than it does about our squad. He's not entirely wrong. He has some valid points but he's also criticising the very thing he's paid to do. If they're not performing, it's on him. If they're low on confidence, it's up to him to pick them up. This to me absolutely reeks of a man in defensive "it's not my fault" mode. Most of what he said we can ignore because the right manager can correct those issues.

Spot On... Was a terrible hire in the first place, made by a guy who has no idea what he's doing. Only Spurs (the least Checkbook Club of the PL heavyweights could go and hire the 2 most demanding, checkbook reliant managers of the last 25 years).......Utter shambles of a club, rotton to core with absurd delusions of grandeur.

Remember we had 3 managers in Redknapp, Jol & Poch who gave us some terrific times and full on attacking football.
None of these were so called “elite” managers, yet in a poll of the last couple of decades would certainly be the most popular Spurs manager who the fans loved.
Yes, I would welcome Poch back with open arms, and if not him then either Thomas Frank or Roberto De Zerbi would be good shouts.
Some of the pundits are begging up Vincent Kompany, but not sure about that one. Although he is doing a great job at Burnley🤔

Have you watched Brentford? They play dull percentage football. I don’t want Franks at all.
It’s interesting that other managers believe Conte is right about this squad being weak minded, I think we all knew that.
Those thinking it can’t be that bad, who wouldn’t want to manage Spurs - let’s remember when Jose was sacked we spent 7 weeks without a manager and had to settle for Nuno in the end as the only other options were Fonseca and Gattusso.
