Next Manager?

We aren't doing well in attack because we have been missing players like 'Good Dele'
Thing is, he is right - he's looking for a reaction.
But few of our players will react like that - I'm not sure many players in general do now.
Commitment now comes from togetherness and encouragement, not the stick of proving someone wrong or of proving you are not letting the side down.

That's why I think Dyche would be good, he is a hard but understands you need to get players engaged to produce.
 
All this talk of finishing in the bottom half, everyone's overlooking that we are the first team to play Liverpool, Chelsea and (soon) City twice.
Once we've played City I think we only have 2 of the top 6 to play again for the rest of the season.

I find it a bit embarrassing we lose 3 matches and this is the result.

imo our problem is mainly that we have no midfield depth and our defence make stupid individual mistakes.

Getting someone new in won't change that, anyone new will still be brick in their own way, at least Mourinho has witnessed success with his own eyes before.
Yeah, cause we really spanked Fulham, Palace, and Brighton.
 
All managers carry a degree of uncertainty and risk. Generally the worst managers we've appointed have been those without any prior experience of the Premier League (Gross, Santini, Ramos) - Jol was the only exception though he had a minimal playing career in England.

I actually went to bed last night feeling a warm glow about Graham Potter whose stock has risen exponentially in the last week. I even worked out that Brighton would be prepared to let him leave and would have in Eddie Howe a perfect replacement available. Just indulge me here....but Brighton's Chief Exec Paul Barber is close with Levy having been his CEO at Spurs for many years. Potter's Brighton have outplayed us in each of the last four matches we've played - he seems very much in the mould Levy has appointed before (AVB, Poch).

However, I'm also very conscious that Potter is not even Flavour of the Month yet (more flavour of the week) and probably doesn't fit the profile Levy would be looking for now. Just the name Graham Potter doesn't sound brandworthy enough.

I think we should assume that Levy will have advisers and consultants providing all sorts of insights into who is up and coming across World Football.
 
Southgate's name will come up. Knows the PL, plays passing football, probably done with England after the Euros,

Not the most exciting choice, but his name will be in the mix
 
I'd honestly love to hear why you think they'd not improve what we've seen over the last 15 months

Agreed. Rodgers plays good football, gets a team playing to great than sum of the parts, has made some excellent signings. Only thing which he doesnt have is a big name

He'd restore the reputation of our club

The media might bring him up, but if anyone of the top people at Spurs even mention his name they should be terminated immediately. Terrible manager. Relegated Middlesboro and got rescued by the FA's program for giving ex-players opportunities they haven't earned.
 
What do you chaps think of Thomas Frank as a left field option? Brentford play some good stuff and I'm all for a proven manager, even at lower league, who is on the up rather than promoting an assistant / recent ex-player in the hope they are decent.

Understand the reaction but A LOT of manager appointments solve the failings of the previous guy. Therefore Jose's successor would likely be:
- younger (Poch-like)
- clean cut (Southgate, Howe etc)
- have an established, attractive way of playing

That will bring Howe and Southgate's names into the mix. I'm sure there's lots of overseas managers who fit the bill too, but I don't watch hours of overseas football so cant comment on the equivalent names outside the UK

Daniel Farke is in the same category

If I was taking anyone From there it would be both of there directors of football
They have mastered the approach of data on a player and scope for growth

That means Betfair believe Pochettino is more likely to resign from PSG a few weeks after being appointed to get back to the club that gave him the boot 15 months ago... ? Yeah, right.
