Amen sister, the new boss will be gone within 18 months, whether because he is sacked or headhunted or gets a random disease, there is no way Spurs will settle down and keep a manager for years on end like some are hoping.

I've seen a Bayern forum recently and most did not have pleasant things to say about Van Gaal which is why i asked.
Same old same old really isn't it with Van Gaal seemingly Levys target número uno and now United are going to snatch him up. Man united win the title by 11 points a year later 7th in the league have sacked their manager and yet it's still Tottenham Hotspur FC who are the laughing stock. Clubs been an utter utter shambles since sacking AVB with no real plan as how to go forward.
I hope we don't even consider Moyes. I always felt he was over-rated at Everton and as soon as he has had a job with some expectancy and pressure, he's folded. He'd be a disaster for us, the fans would be on him very quickly imo.
Two things that our fans would need to allow a coach a bit of time to get it right:
1. A proven record of success, that leads us to believe that he will get it right in the end.
2. Good football that is, at the very least, tolerable to the majority of our support.
Moyes fails on both counts. I'd like Benitez, but he fails on point 2.
LVG seems like the perfect man for us at this point in time. I think he'd have the board, fans and players onside and pulling in the same direction, along with his excellent credentials and high probability of getting the most from our team. The club must be unified to move forward.

LvG hasn't been appointed United manager yet it is entirely possible that they will look elsewhere. How do we know that the club has no plan as to how to go forward, the club haven't spoken about it and we have no idea who our first choice is and whether we have a chance of getting them?

If Moyes got the job I couldnt honestly see Lloris and Vertonghen wanting to stay next season

It's quite strange how we want LVG, he seemingly wants Man UTD whilst UTD at this moment in time seem to want someone else.
Everything I read and hear right now from the UTD sites and figures in the game seem to think that Klopp is the man they want above everyone, whilst LVG is pretty much their backup plan.

Why do you say that Utd seem to want someone else?

I can't see them wanting to stay regardless of who comes in, to be honest. I think they'll end up staying at the club come September 1st, but not voluntarily: it is more likely that no one will want to buy Verts after his disastrous form over the past six months, while I doubt anyone outside of PSG and Monaco will have the funds or the desire to push through a move for Lloris given the world record fee (for a goalkeeper) that Levy is likely to want for Hugo in order to get around the sell-on clause Lyon reportedly inserted into his contract.
This is why we need a proven manager coming in. We appoint a nobody and then I wouldn't blame players who are at/near their prime from leaving.
If I wasn't a Spurs fan and I'd been at the club for a couple years whilst we've had two dog sh1t managers, then if we appointed an unproven manager I'd want out pretty quickly. Players have short careers at the very highest level and if you're in demand like Lloris and Verts might be, why would you hang around? We need a proven manager like LVG, CA, Allegri to keep our best players

True, but like I said, I doubt at this point anyone short of Guardiola would appease the lads. We've had a bad season, and unless we miraculously finish fourth, we will have nothing to show for eight months of chaos. Modern football's timescales are such that eight months is enough to change the minds of most players: see Modric in 2010 and after the end of the 2011 season. Hence, I expect they're both thinking that two years is enough time spent at Spurs, regardless of who we can realistically bring in.
I don't blame them. If they end up leaving, the best of luck to 'em.

Klopp is that someone else. Opinion polls, journalists and forums all seem to be in love with the idea of him and if anything reticent about LVG given the fact that he won't get in the door until after the world cup when they argue that part of Moyes' problem was that he started too late in the summer after all their rivals had already done their transfer business.

Klopp has stated pretty categorically that he's not leaving Dortmund this summer though so wanting him does as much good as us wanting Pep.

Agree with all of that. One of the more sensible posts on here for a while

How are we a laughing stock?
We may have approached a manager who is within his rights to hold off on his decision.
We become a laughing stock if we don't have a plan b (we may have already sounded out FDB) or plan c and do a panic appointment.
We have done nothing unprofessional so far to be laughed at.
From an article back in February...
I don't think it'd be that much of a stretch to see him come here. Here's hoping he gets bored after winning 4 straight titles (something no ones done in that league before) and comes here.
Also with 2 of his former best players begging him to come in, I think/pray that could weigh in on his decision as well.

Telegraph suggesting LVG only 4th or 5th on United's list: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...s-Carlo-Ancelotti-heads-United-shortlist.html

If not LvG, Rafa please. Although I did hear a while ago that we were looking at Antonio Conte of Juventus, who seems curiously under-rated and ignored by the big boys, if that United 'hit-list' Gutter Boy linked up there is to be believed. If we were, and if he's interested (both somewhat unlikely), then securing him should be our priority, above even Rafa and LvG. He's restored Juve's dominance in Serie A, and his team is famous for its work ethic, relentless pressing and lightning-fast attacking football. He seems perfect for the top job at either Barca or Madrid, to be honest, and it baffles me why he's not rated up there with Simeone, Ancelotti or LvG. Young too.
