I voted for Brendan Rogers he plays football like we like it and he is young and ambitious could be OUR Fergie
Howard Webb

was just about to say, a few are going for rodgers. what exactly do people like about him? its no mean feat getting a welsh side to the premier league
I think its more like 59% would like it to be Jose rather than 59% think it will be him. Very different questions obviously
If Harry goes in the next few weeks as appears more likely following his comments this morning, Hiddink has to be the favourite given that he's the only one of the top options who is currently available

Not only got them there but they are holding their own and playing some of the best football in the league very admirable. I am not opposed to getting a big name guy like Mourinho or Hiddink but knowing their track records its only a short term fix rather have our future sorted with a young and up and comer personally
Howard Webb
Clive Wilson
would you trust him with champions league?

Your right AdamB. I voted for Jose becuase I want it to be him, not because I think it will be him. I also watched Harry's comments on the BBC site and was left with the impression that he would accept the job. I really just hope this is not affecting our players and the club overall too much, cannot affort any slip-ups because we have Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea all coming up after Saudi Sportswashing Machine tomorrow!

People are obssessed about finding the next Ferguson! Give up on it. For every up and coming manager (like Ferguson then was) who succeeds, there's plenty of people like Gerry Francis, Bruce Rioch, Paul Ince etc etc etc who have failed when they've moved somewhere bigger. We need to go for someone who gives us as much certinaty as possible with our next manager...like Hiddink, Van Gaal, Mourinho etc. Given we have CL football and some otp players, we can now attract that type of manager whereas a few years back we would have been limited to people like Rodgers, Moyes etc

just to interject adamB, fergie had already won domestic and european titles with a tiny club when he went to Utd and was hardly a nipper

Everyone has to get their start and chance somewhere. people said Redknapp would fail at a big club too. Your view is very pessimistic

we've been 'short-term' for years!! why should anything change now?
It's typical of Spurs that regardless of how well we now find ourselves doing, we'll still never hold onto a manager for more than 3-4 years... If Harry had been French, he'd most probably have retired at our club... giving us the last 8-9 years of his managerial career...
Hoddle was the last time I thought we'd FINALLY got a relatively young manager, with the perfect Spurs credentials, who could stay with us for the long-term... and look how that fudging turned out!!
Jol was the only other one I could've imagined being with us until his 70th birthday... but again, that was never going to happen!!
Long term strategies are more important with regards to players than the manager. The LMA can moan all they want, but managers/head coaches are not likely to spend more than 3-4 years at a club, if that. Sometimes you need to freshen things up, improve the players' motivation. Just look at Arsenal. It's been stale over there for years and they're just gradually getting worse. A new manager would shake things up and probably get them going again and it's a bit simpler than replacing all the players.
It's why you need someone like a DoF, to work on the long term development of the squad. The manager is there to try and achieve things right now.

Harry was bought in because we were 2 points from 8 games and perhaps someone like Rodgers or say Lambert would be a good appointments if say we were a mid-table outfit ... However, if say we qualify for the Champs League, I feel logic dictates we should go with experience .. We saw last season just how difficult it was for Harry to combine the two big competitions and even this season, for us not to get past the group stages in the Europa League, for me at least is a little disappointing.
We also have the stadium to be built so I feel its time to be going with a top manager, one who has the experience to have us challenging in the Premeirship and in Europe...

Now this is how you apply for a job:
If England want a new manager with a glittering record they need look no further than Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who would love to take the job just so he could sabotage the team.
The Scot joked on Friday that he was in the frame for the vacancy left by Fabio Capello's shock resignation this week and outlined his plans for taking charge of Scotland's great rivals.
"The FA have approached [United chief executive] David Gill today to speak to me. So I said I would make the decision on April 1," he grinned at a news conference.
"It's a good idea. I could relegate them."

A new era manager to take the club forward in the long term, rather than an ego maniac looking at a quick two year fix. Everything Rodgers does is planned to the very last detail, he coaches his team ultimately to keep the ball, in training if any of his players aimlessly lumps the ball then he makes them do laps. A newly promoted team that regularly go away from home and have 65%+ possession, a team that plays a similar style of attacking football - although obviously we have better players overall so we're more effective. A manager that looks to bring through young players and coach them his way. Never blames his players or makes excuses, if his team doesn't perform then it's down to him.
Sure but we're in the best position which we've been for years both in terms of actual league position as well as the platform to attract a top manager (ie we will hopefully have CL football, have decent players etc) and we should NOT waste that simply just to be nice to a potentially up and coming British manager. Its not Levy's job to promote British managers - its his job to make the club as successful as possible. Appointing someone who isnt proven would be recklessly risky and utterly stupid in my view. If we appoint someone who balls things up we could well slip back into the pack and it could take us years to get back to where we are. We're in a position today where we have the opportunity to cement a place in teh top 4 and kick on to challenge for the league regularly. We should be attractive for genuinely top top class managers the world over - we're 3rd place in one of the top 2 leagues in Europe FFS!!! If we were ever going to attract a top boss it would be now
