Bayern, to a lesser extent PSG, and Chelsea.
Hear me out here -
Bayern - basically win the league every year even with a plank of wood in charge. Kompany isn't exactly Conte in terms of emotional intensity.
PSG - see above. Their elevation to European success came with Luis Enrique, but they're rich enough that anyone can coach them and win Ligue 1 at a minimum.
Chelsea - they win things even when in utter chaos, and regardless of the manager. Dour Avram Grant won something with Chelsea, iirc. So did di Matteo, later of West Brom. Enzo Maresca, quiet systems coach from Leicester. And so on. Comes down to them always spending billions on the best squad, that (until recently, anyway) just worked to keep them winning.
In all these cases, the clubs have structural advantages that allow them to win regardless of the coach. We aren't that - we have no advantages relative to the rest of the big boys. So we need a messiah to pull us over the line.
For sure mate. I don't mean nutcase messiah pejoratively - more that you need to be a little bit crazy to believe in Spurs and what you can do at the club, even when no one else does. In my experience, all those that inspire loyalty in others have that attribute - a slightly crazy amount of self belief and the ability to make others believe, too.
Someone who comes in saying 'we will lose games' is right, analytically speaking. But all wrong, personality wise. Poch, Ange and now (looks like) de Zerbi - all of them know how to get people believing in impossible causes. You need that at Spurs. You don't elsewhere.
