    Next Manager?

    The Nuno thing is a weird one. If we are genuinely letting him go, I’ll be happy that Levy has decided to try and stick close to the Spurs DNA statement he made. On the other hand, it would call into question just how aligned and compatible he and Paratici are. That would be a worry and...

    Next Manager?

    Lol…it looks like that is exactly what happened though? I’ve not seen any remotely respected journalist say anything other than ‘advanced talks’ at most. What does advanced mean to you? The exception is Fonseca, where there are stories about contracts being drawn up, visa applications being...

    Serious question, why do you think everyone is now discussing Nuno as if he is a very serious candidate, versus say a week ago?

    Next Manager?

    To be honest, I’ve just read The Athletic piece about him. Around the constraints he faced last season (Jiminez injury, fatigue after a deep Europa run and a small squad) and I think I’m fine with him now. It seems like he had the intention to open Wolves up a bit and evolve them as he knew he...

    Next Manager?

    I agree it’s complicated. But when Real Madrid stop attracting the best players and competing for the biggest prizes, then we can question their standing in the game. They are Real Madrid. There is no doubt. With us, we are a club trying to take the leap. Kane signs for 6 years because he...

    Agreed. I'm sure he's a lovely guy and good at what he does, but appointing the guy who Wolves kinda let go without too much of a fuss is a real example of our standing as a club. It hasn't moved forward. He's going to have to massively, massively overachieve.

    I just can't see Levy appointing Nuno - it rounds counter to everything he said about Spurs DNA and he's just no where near the proven type of winner you'd make that sort of compromise on. It would be a really easy Mendes link and it would call into serious question how aligned Paratici is...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I think this is exactly my feelings on Levy too. The right executive to take a business through their different stages of growth might be a different one, and maybe Levy has reached that point. Maybe he is knackered and needs a sabbatical. I think he’s a good man that has done a lot for the...

    Of course. If they are approached. No one said any different.

    Next Manager?

    Christ, it's pedantic central on this forum today. I get what you are saying...if all the players are back, of course there will be more opportunities for a new manager to learn about the group dynamics. Similarly, what other people are saying is having a manager in a little bit sooner than a...

    ? I don't think anyone is saying they would have the interview the day they are approached.

    If Potter was up for it, I'd hope Paratici interviews him with a completely open mind. I'd find it a little ridiculous that because we've hired an Italian DOF we can only hire Italian coaches that he's aware of.

    Next Manager?

    @Finney Is Back is talking about before they've even been approached. No doubt if you want the job you prepare. But the idea that top coaches are immediately ready to jump with every little bit of detail on the off chance they might not get a call, is a little fanciful. It's a way of excusing...

    Seems like we agree then.

    Well, ‘a lot of people’ can’t mean me, as I’ve said repeatedly it’s those 3-4 people I trust, and not the others.

    The point was, why have those core 3-4 people not been making up another link to fill column inches?

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Its the decisions that were made at a time when it was rosey. The strategic alignment. We haven’t had that for 3 years now, I would say, and I would say that was why Poch was able to be successful.

    Second time someone says this - is it not just being wildly pedantic in relation to the point I was making? Which was that he probably has some general access across the game but that I didn’t consider him an authority on Spurs?

    Next Manager?

    Doesn’t seem like they’ve been reported as in serious discussion with the club by the core 3-4 journos though? This is what I mean. I don’t see anyone losing their brick over Klinsmann or Nuno. I don’t think people have been taking those links seriously. It’s the ones that come from people with...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    It's a really interesting point. I came at it from the angle of thinking the job became something that Levy wasn't best suited to. When organisations scale, the right person to lead from to the first $100M of revenue is not often the right person to lead them to over $1BN, and so on. As the...
