Next Manager?

Wijnaldum was also about wages - he wanted to come here, we cheaped out on him, Liverpool offered higher wages, off he went.

Those Poch years were the height of criminal negligence on Levy's part, tbh - the one side and manager we had in the post-Cold War era capable of winning things, and he cheaped out at nearly every single turn, giving him useless rubbish and utter trash like Sissoko, Aurier, N'Koudou, N'Jie, Wimmer, Stambouli and Fazio.

The ironic thing is that he finally opened the taps post-stadium, for which I can't blame him at all - but he opened them for this Portuguese waster, the Iberian Pulis.

We could have had Coutinho but Poch didn’t want him

Ultimately Poch failed no matter how you dress it up

Amazingly on some other forums some want him back????

He pushed the money up to get him. Everton wanted him too.

He didn't push the money up for Winjanldum.

After missing out on Wijnuldum we were desperate going into the last day of the window for reinforcement and Sissoko has just had that performance of a lifetime against us.

Desperation can make one make strange decisions and the signing of Sissoko was a very strange one.

It is amazing how often we sign players after they have had a good performance against us.

It suggests a lack of foresight to me. Of course there are times when seeing that player against you opens your eyes to someone you weren't aware of or confirms your scouting reports.

Like I remember when we got beat by Basel in the EL quarters I think it was and Salah scared the living brick out of us. I wanted to sign him there and then. His talent was blindly obvious.

Overall though you should have a long form view of any additions or appointments otherwise you might just have seen someome on their best day (Sissoko).

Surely though if someone puts in a great performance against us and has not been scouted previously we put him on the watch list.

Gomes was signed off the back of it
I had to give him the man of the match award at the away leg at PSV (I was there as a guest of Philips). So I literally joked you will be joining us soon and I got death stares
We signed him that summer
Oh and the MOTM a award was a philishave
 
Another impressive win for nagelsmann and RBL yesterday 0-3 winners at schalke.

I see schalke are managed by someone called c gross. I click the name and to my horror its actually him :eek:

Shalke are horrendously bad
It started post lockdown 1 - they came back in as awful form and it’s not improved
 
I read naglesmann wouldn't leave his team mid way through a season so those that are pitching for him need patience

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous post. I agree if you weren't aware of the player already you should definitely put them on your watch list. I'm just saying signing a player should be be based more on your already existing scouting reports and perception of that player rather than just a one off match. With someone like Salah that I already mentioned sure you might not know too much about a player in Switzerland so by all means add him to the list and actively try for him (I absolutely wanted us too!), but the signing of Sissoko has a different context, we were well aware of him from the time he broke through at Toulouse to his time at Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Signing him off the back of the game of his career against us was ridiculous and I can only attribute to desperation and Levy's typical love of deadline day dealing.

Quite frankly, you're entitled to your opinion (and you've made your point across over the last few days) but I find that kind of comments rather distasteful, even if made tongue-in-cheek. I guess supporting a club takes many forms, and this is your way...

My view is that Mourinho isn't going to be successful at Spurs - he's heading in the direction which his stints at Man U and Chelsea have taken. Squabbling with players, strops in the media (his comments to that female interviewer the other day were grossly unacceptable), performances getting ever worse and the team being painful to watch (George Graham's teams were more interesting - at least they had a plan).

Therefore if he's going to end up being sacked at some point in, say, the next 12-18 months we're better off shifting him sooner and then re-building under a next manager.

I've never wanted Spurs to do anything other than win before. Today, I'm completely ambivalent - a win is a win for Spurs; anything else moves Mourinho one step closer to the door.

I was open to him when he arrived; I accepted that the football wouldnt be great but that would be ok if we were going to be top 4 and regular contenders for trophies. We're completely directionless with the ball at the moment and play cowardly defensive football. Jose blames the team for sitting back and says that it isnt his instruction; if thats the case, why isnt he out screaming at players to push up?

If Jose stays the atmosphere at the games when fans are back will be toxic and we'll drift ever lower, taking the image of the club with it. Perhaps my ambitions for Spurs are higher htan some peoples? I don't want us to finish 6th-10th playing dull football. We need a change and I think probably around 50% of Spurs fan think similarly

How do you see a manager that works with a DOF working here?

I think Levy prefers to have one given the amount of times we have recruited one and then binned them off.

The concern over someone like Naglesmann is that he is only as good as the recruitment - they have to be on the same page.
