It occurred to me that I may have never seen so many managers either flagged up as either available or could become available in my life. One might also imagine that being a coach at a decent level these days was much like being about in the 1960s in London where one could walk out of a job before lunch and walk into another that afternoon. Maybe I’ve entirely misjudged the atmosphere, but going back 5 years or more the managers permanently in the move were the likes of Sam Allardyce, Tony Pulis, and Steve McClaren, and when the music stopped characters like Iain Dowie were left without a seat.
These days the life expectancy for even elite-level managers is tight. Some fail to grasp this – the life expectancy is built-in, like the small electrical items from a pound shop. Only a few teams in each division actually win anything worth winning. Everyone else is using air-pods that cost only marginally more to manufacture than the packaging they are sold in.
Time will tell but is a debt-riddled Tottenham, who spat out Pochettino and Mourinho really perceived as a blue-chip side these days? One reporter assures us that a new coach would be in situ before the end of the season, then when that expired, it was before the end of the month.
Does nobody want to be fed transfers from a spreadsheet, or play in the wooden spoon of European football?
It is difficult, but possible to train yourself to not click on links to either of those diabolical websites!
Oh yeah… 🤔
You ran out of idea to respond to how many diferrent versions of this story. Eddie Murphy in “Coming to American” fling a dart at the global and it landed on Queens, New York. Maybe Levy will Levy will trip over the next manager while touring with the local high school for the area.
Blame Covid.
We are all grown ups here, (well most of us). It’s unrealistic to imagine that people Kane, Hugo etc aren’t in regular contact with Pochettino. In fact it’s unreasonable to assume they don’t all have a WhatsApp group even.
There’s different types of ‘contact’, both official and un official. If someone at Sours wanted to sound out Poch, it’s as easy as sending your mates a dirty GIF…
We have all denied stuff, I do it with pharts all the time… 😂
They say you reap what you sow and Levy is feeling it in the a*se right now.Danny Nomates has got nowhere to turn right now and it’s great.Anything that hastens his demise is welcome in my book.
Kane has laid down the challenge before Levy. How will he respond? 🤔
Never won player of the year awards either as far as I know.
The poison chalice that is Tottenham Hotspur FC brought to you by the even more poison ENIC
Can only hope so!
Hoo-f***ing-ray! Hope thats true & Mr. Levy doesn’t have a(nother) brain-fart & keeps it that way!
I expect the UK newspapers to fabricate this rubbish, but sky sports and the BBC jumping on the bandwagon is ridiculous.
Absolutely Spurs have been cast aside. Any other, manager less, top flight club is instantly more attractive because they don’t have Daniel Levy as their chairman. Our situation really is that black and white. It’s highly likely that any manager we are batting our eyelashes at, will have had some dealings or knows someone who’s had some dealings with our chairman. The man is toxic. His behaviour over the last 20 years has been at the very least questionable and now he’s struggling. I’m not saying he can’t recruit a decent manager but it won’t be cheap. The next mug will want a giant paycheck and a cast iron contract as he will know from day one he’s on borrowed time. The irony is that all of those years of penny pinching, last minute deals to save a few quid, pulling out of signing the best players because of wage demands and sacking mangers on a regular basis will now end up costing him in managerial wages because his reputation is so bad. We’ve got a big stadium that needs to be filled and nobody wants to see mediocre players half-arsing it under the watchful eye of a manager who’s only there for the money and knows deep down he’s only about 5 games from getting the boot.
From reading the other posts on this blog it’s clear we all want the same thing. A Spurs side that we can be proud of and has a decent chance of competing both domestically and in Europe. Until Levy leaves or steps down i just can’t see that happening.
Is it more a case of tabloid tittle tattle and putting two and two together to come up with five. Someone saw a photo of Poch in the UK in the vague vacinity of Tottenham and decided to make something of it.
All these managers are Covid starting to take it’s effect. The money has dried up. The boom time is over for now
Teams with big money will have a field day hoovering up cheap talent. Inter just won the League and have to sell players and want players to take a twenty percent wage cut.
The fun is only just beginning.
He’d be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or, but really I think it’s Lewandowski’s to lose – particularly after he was denied the chance last year
It’s best just to sit back and wait see who ends up shaking Levy’s hand as this whole episode only goes to show what a load of cobblers most rumors from pundits and ‘insiders” truly are. The Express in particular is excelling in this as it’s Spurs Fantasy Island desk throws out an endless stream of invented garbage about Kane and the managerial search. I am also sick to death of all those recycling outlets (think HITC, This is Futbol) that begin their articles with supposed quotes from fans (think “tears in my eyes”) which really mean “at breakfast this morning my Dad said”.
If I was Poch I’d want to stay at PSG and clean sweep next season cos he’s got alot of stick for not winning the league. He came in January, they were 3rd, they weren’t the most together of units let’s say, but he got the 2 cups and missed out by a point I think. Doing Barca and Munich in the CL too. There’s platform to go and do it propa next time so why would he leave??
Season ticket hawking hokem
Errr H? There seems to be some kind of portal opening in the sky behind you…??
😨
Poch’s camp have denied contact with Spurs via L’Equipe
Levy is a right Ethan Hunt himself.
I think with Levy even Ethan Hunt would fail.
but with Hitchens involved with the recruitment could we expect this to move at any pace.
Itś not an attractive project is it. Join a team that needs a squad refresh but only the best player seems likely to leave. Levy known for pricing out players from moves, even dead wood we no longer want.
On another note. I would suggest had Kane posted the numbers he has this season – league high assists, league high goals – playing for City with one match left, he would be favourite for the ballon dor.
No wonder he wants a switch
Don’t worry Harry, incoming in next 2 days is a name that all of us will have to Google as we’ve not got Danny Rose to do it for us.
I was thinking this myself.
Alastair Gold ruled out Conte because “he only stays for 2 years”, but what manager doesn’t nowadays?
There are only a handful of clubs who keep their managers because they know their own limitations.
Burnley – They don’t expect anything other than survival every year.
City – Thus far, want to challenge across all fronts, securing one trophy is enough for a season.
Villa – See Burnley, but I suspect they will have a progression plan purely based on the talent of their squad.
Norwich – Understand they are a Yo-Yo team, happy to keep Farke in charge as long as he wants to stay.
I’m sure there are a couple more but truthfully, the “Elite” clubs (City aside) are impatient for success, and the clubs that feel they should be “Elite” or even more impatient.
People talk about managers with Projects, it’s very rare a manager is able to through their first phase these days.
