Next Spurs Manager v.2

Yes, that's the one, cheers.
Guys! Seriously!
Do you not get that if LVG was appointed he would be on strict orders by Levy as well as his own common sense/decency not to say anything as it would affect the current teams motivation for the current (TS) manager. If he was in place or even close, the last thing he would be doing would make any hint to the media.
The fact that he is speaking about it means he hasnt been offered the job and is just touting himself via media channels. if your an arrogant man like LVG with such believe in your stature you wouldnt by choice put yourself out there and be saying things like "usually I would go to my villa in Portugal but if a job in England comes up I would take it - this is a bit desperate for me and not the trait of a LVG type but he feels this is something he has to do to send the message. If he did have the job he would be more true to character and sit in silence with the security and turn up at our new season press conference with a macho "I had the job all along" type demenour.
Its clear to me he wants the job, its also clear to me he knows as little as we do if he will actually get it
He hasnt said that much about Spurs anyway, the media keep bring out new stories but its the same quotes from months ago, nothing new.
This is just media filling in pages

Or it's a double bluff, and he's saying he's interested to make people think that he's not been offered the job yet.
In your case it seems to have worked.
(In all seriousness though, it could be either way)

The reporter get the date of the Southampton match wrong.
And why did Levy give Sherwood an 18 month contract the day after meeting Van Gaal

I want a manager to build something long term at Spurs.
Van Gaal will fall out with everyone within two seasons.

playing devils advocate here. But saying Levy wants Van Gall but he has stated even though he is very interested he will not walk out on Holland and will only be available after the World Cup. So Levy has a dilemma. The coaches he wants are not available until the summer but we still have over half a season to go. To get the players to play commited he has to show some intent with Sherwood. If he makes the champions league then all the better. IF not he is out and lvG is in. So that must bean TS is on a very short leash. He has stated he will not go back to the youth setup, so if we did get LvG in then sherwood would be sacked with a payoff.

you are simply wishing for an impossible miracle. Levy wont allow it, he doesnt have the patience........

I don't think anyone's saying that he's already signed, even GB seems to be saying that the plan is van Gaal, not that he's been signed.
Van Gaal himself has said that he was offered the job in December and that he turned it down because he still has a job with the national team. After that who knows. Seems pretty obvious that he'll be interested in the summer and he's making that clear when answering questions about it.

To be honest I really don't think LVG wants the Spurs job at all.
Joking of course, I think he would be a great choice but to be honest I'm just willing to go with the flow. As other posters has said, I think as great as he'd be his personality seems to make a fall out with Levy, or Baldini, inevitable. Also our squad is mostly filled with soft characters rather than the sort who would take discipline and tough love on the chin.

Levy has shown with Redknapp that he doesn't have to be best friends to work with someone. It also seemed clear to me that he was willing to give AVB time up to the point where AVB showed a reluctance to even work with or take advice from those around him. To me at least Levy is quite different from for example some of the Bayern higher ups that van Gaal fell out so spectacularly in the past.
Baldini should be used to working with strong characters by now.
As for the players in our squad, I think you might be spot on. Bring in a strong man in charge and weed them the **** out. Replace them with players that are stronger.

There's an interesting comment by the Dutch journalist who knows him that van Gaal "finds it hard to lie".
I don't think he's 'signed sealed delivered oh yeah' yet, but he doesn't play the politician's game of deflection either.
Timmeh already had an 18 month contract, it was just his role that changed. I think the logical assumption is that LvG said that he'd take the job, but not till he finishes with Holland (remember the speculation was that he would do a dual role); so Levy went back and got Timmeh to 'act up' for a bit.
Again, listen to the Dutch journalist. He said van Gaal gets off to great starts, then the falling-outs come, but it's at just that moment that the trophies (or 'babies' as he called them) start flooding in and there's no option but to back him finishing his project.
He has had decent 4-6 year stints in many of his jobs before. Remember just 3 years would make him our second longest serving manager of modern times.
Our players are so ripe for strong leadership. AVB cleared out just about all those who wouldn't submit to his will, and that is why we are so rudderless now.

Don't think you can blame Dawson for not wishing to submit to AVB's will and move to QPR, it's been a real madhouse there...

Its van Gaal. Its obvious.
I don't care that he's 62. Makes no odds. The odds of any manager staying at any club beyond 3-4 seasons is absolutely minimal.
van Gaal for 3-5 years? Yes please. But only definitely.

Certainly, but in a way all of it was both interesting and promising.
If there was a manager - chairman speed dating service I think Levy would chisel van Gaal at the top of his list and paint it in with gold. At least every description of him from that interview sounds a lot like what Levy wants.
Hope you're right.
Actually looking forward to the summer now, at least we'll have some sort of clarity again who our manager is for the near future (I hope). Been so many years with this stuff and finally when AVB was looking comfortable it all kicked off again.
I think it would be fantastic for the club to get a manager like van gaal, or even better, prandelli. Would make it really hard for the fans and media to blame the manager's lack of experience/tactical shortcomings/unconvincing record when everything turns to **** after two or three seasons.

You make a good point there. Whoever gets appointed won't last very long anyway - so we might as well try to tempt Ferguson out of retirement.
