Won’t come until after the WC, so won’t get any pre-season with the players. Every chance Romero and/or VDV gone by then imo. I’d love it to work, but I have serious reservations that it would.



England have some great talent at their disposal. As a non-Englishman, watching them under Southgate made my eyes bleed. We’d quickly be back where we are now, I reckon, with fans complaining that he’s not playing ‘the Tottenham way’ (whatever that actually is).

They do now Bellingham and that lad at Chelsea have come through, wasn’t the case in Southgate’s first few years though.

This club will never do anything until we put that Tottenham way thing in the bin imo.

We need to get a globally, well respected, good footballing manager right now. Someone like Xavi or Alonso. Otherwise we are going to have a mass exodus of our top players at the end of the season.

We may lose one or two big names anyway, but if we don't act now, we will lose more.

We are at the stage where we need to manage the Risk, of relegation and of losing quality players. Waiting till the summer is now too late.

We are in real trouble right now.

We don't really have any top players to fear an exodus of. 😂
 
With all the games, burnout, and injuries, what about a two manager system?

The senior manager would work with the PL match squad, and cover PL games.
The junior manager would work with the cups squad.

Allows both managers to concentrate on their respective upcoming games, both tactics and coaching, with decent recovery periods between.
If the PL squad gets injuries, they take from the cup squad.
If the cup squad gets injuries, they take from the U21s.
Keeps everyone fresh, motivated, and match fit. If some shines in the cup squad, they get promoted.
If we go far in cups, decisions need to be made, but nice decisions to have.

If the either manager needs sacking, there's not too much disruption until a replacement is found.

I will ask this question for people seriously here

Who in this squad do you pay to watch and think "I am really excited to see what he does to day", who excites you or gets you off your seat, or gets you thinking positively about the decision to go, forget managers for a second, I am massively intrigued to know who people think are really of a level where you think "yeh its bad but I am keen to see what he does"

This isn't a leading question, I'm genuinely wondering as not really followed Xavi at all as manager - What has he done that makes him a top pick? He was at Barca for a bit and was hardly a surprise he got a tune out of them for a short time, and other than that managed in Saudi - What makes him such a good choice?

His name. 🤣

On a serious note he did a good job at turning a meandering Barcelona around, but I don't think many on here actually watched them play. He was very defensive, yes possession football but they weren't all about attack by any means. To a decent extent of actually say his Barca played similarly to what you'd think Frank wants. Offensive but definitely defensively balanced. He was fired in the end because the football wasn't exciting enough and the results had started going pear shaped.

I don't think he's the coach at least in terms of paying style that many on here think he is.

I didn't know Dave Graveney was a Spurs fan

Luca Williams-Barnett.
 
It does not really matter who we take on as our new manager, if results go the same way has they have done the fans will scream for yet ANOTHER new manager.

What i will say is that i was not impressed when we took on Frank and he would not have been on my list to replace Ange.
 
Gallardo is no longer flavour of the month but he did some great things at River. He made a huge mistake when he went for the money at Al Ittihad but if we're going to take another punt, I wouldn't mind seeing whether he can cut it at this level. His River teams were a decent watch, from what I recall.
 
I'd expect there will be better managers or at least more options in the summer, Glasner maybe sooner - he's got a good record everywhere he's been but is also a bit of a hothead if he doesn't get what he wants but I do feel with his record he deserves a bit more.

I voted for McKenna, I like he has club links and seems a good coach but maybe it's a step too much this early for him.

We get rid of Frank to replace him with McKenna? They’d be coming down the High Road with pitchforks and flaming torches. 😃
