Unrealistic:

Klopp - Done an amazing job at Dortmund, knows how to get a 4-2-3-1 to work.
Simeone - Doing very well at Atlético (5 points ahead of Real, same goal difference and points as Barca), plays an interesting high-tempo, high-pressure 4-4-2/4-2-4.
Klinsmann - Think he's going to manage us one day, don't think he's interested right now.


Realistic:

De Boer - 3 consecutive league titles with Ajax, knows Vertonghen and Eriksen very well, played over 200 games for Barca.
Solskjær - Groomed by the greatest manager of all time, done very well at Molde.
Pochettino - Doing well with Southampton, good football, could get the best out of Lamela and Soldado.


Skeptical to:

Hoddle - Big ego, not sure if his 3-5-2 would work.
Laudrup - Seems indifferent and bereft of passion most of the time. One of the best players of all time.
Clement - Never heard of him.


Do not want:

Capello - Dinosaur, negative football.
Sherwood - Would be hugely underwhelming, lacks experience and reputation.
Luis Enrique - Failed miserably at Roma, not doing too good at Celta.

It really is slim pickings. Every single one of them, even Klopp, would struggle slightly at some point and have question marks over them and there isn't a chance in hell he would take our job.
 
We have teh 5th best squad in the overall strongest league in Europe/World, a chairman who isnt afraid to spend and soon to have (hopefully) a new 55,000 seater stadium. Its not too shabby a job and you'll be paid a couple million quid a year to do it. Plenty of managers will be interested in it

Sure plenty of managers would want it:

Martin Allen
Neil Warnock
Sven Erikkson
Kenny Dalglish
Ian Dowie

I mean a successful manager who can produce what all the fans want. Think I'm waiting for the second coming!!!
 
De boer or hoddle for me. Just have a strange feeling about hoddle. Reckon it'd work.

I get that too. I don't know why. I don't have any real logical basis for it. But perhaps when all planning has gone out the window, and all long term appointments have failed, let's just bring in the legend and hope this time it works. With how clubs sack managers so quickly and how everyone seems to have a note of failure against them in this day and age, it might just work. It may be so crazy, so out of kilter with what we think should be successful, that we actually stumble upon the correct answer.
 
`

has he been confirmed?

i thought Gutter boy was joking

From a hack, so not official. But im suspecting it's true.

BBC Sport's David Ornstein says: "Tim Sherwood will take charge of Tottenham for Wednesday's League Cup quarter-final at home to West Ham following the departure of manager Andre Villas-Boas.

"Sherwood, 44, is currently in charge of technical co-ordination at White Hart Lane and, although he is highly regarded by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, any extended period in charge of the first team is only expected to be on an interim basis.

"Tottenham have not put a timescale on their search for a successor to Villas-Boas, whose exit was agreed during a meeting with Levy at the club's Enfield training ground on Monday morning."

Solskjaer would be a pretty decent bet. Big advantage that he has over most of the names above is that he knows English football well, in addition to having acheived success as a manager, albeit in a minor league
