I was just about to post basically the same thing. He comes across really well the way he speaks, analyses the game, etc.. If we did give a young coach a chance when Harry leaves I think he's the best candidate. Could go tits up, but that can happen with any coach. I think he'd have a decent chance of making it.

the only thing I am apprehensive about is that he didnt do that well at Reading. Then again i wont be holding that against him

Most managers in football today have a period of time where they did not do well. Anyway, I am like the idea that he did not do well and has subsequently learnt from his mistakes.

I like where he said he has gone to Holland and Spain to watch and learn from other coaches, and he obviously learnt a lot from Jose when he was at Chelsea. Basically I like teh cut of his jib and would love him at Spurs if Harry went, especially as i do not realistically think Joe will be joining us.

Sure you could question his experience at the highest level but a few years ago you could have said the same about Guardiola at Barca
 
There is a lot to admire about Swansea.

I love the work rate they have, whereever the ball is on the pitch Swansea move as a team to deal with it. ALWAYS 3 or more players in position to defend/attack relative to the balls position.

They play excellent technical football. They have fabulous patience when playing - their second yesterday was incredible.

Im not sure he is the best candidate given his relative lack of experience but if we did bring Rodgers in it would be incredibly exciting.

If he can do that with Allen, Routledge, Sinclair and Graham imagine what he can do with Modric, VDV, Bale...

But still more experience than Guardiola had when he was appointed at Barca

Klinsmann rules out return to Spurs
March 19, 2012

Former Tottenham striker Jurgen Klinsmann has brushed aside reports linking him with a return to White Hart Lane as a replacement for Harry Redknapp.

Klinsmann, the current US national team boss, has been linked with taking Redknapp's place with the Englishman favourite to be named England manager ahead of the European Championship.

But the 47-year-old was quoted in The Sun as saying: "It's just a wonderful club, but I am extremely proud and privileged to be US national team coach.

"Hopefully we will have, after qualification, a great World Cup in Brazil. Then, in soccer, just like in any other environment, you never know what will happen."
 
TOTTENHAM are planning for life after Harry Redknapp and preparing a move for Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers.

Chairman Daniel Levy accepts Redknapp will take the England job when it is offered.

And Levy is a major fan of Rodgers, who is seen as one of the rising stars in European management after working wonders with the south Wales outfit.

And Tottenham are likely to sound out Rodgers, 39, even though he has just signed a new deal at Swansea.

Real Madrid chief Jose Mourinho would be too expensive and would not be provided with the player budget he demands.

Everton chief David Moyes and former Spurs hero Jurgen Klinsmann have also been on the list to take over.

Yet White Hart Lane supremo Levy believes he would face a major task to persuade Klinsmann to quit his job as United States coach while the family home is also in California.

Moyes is highly-rated in North Lane but Levy prefers the Barcelona-style football which Rodgers has brought to Swansea.

Having worked under Mourinho at Chelsea, former Reading and Watford boss Rodgers helped Swansea to promotion in his first season and they are currently 10th in the Premier League.

Initially on a one-year rolling deal, Rodgers signed a new 3?¢-year contract but he would be unlikely to turn down an approach from the north London giants.

Simple rule

You want a top 4 club, you hire a top 4 manager (or one a top 4 club would hire)

On that logic -> Moyes/Rogers/Poyet/Pardew/etc. and 90% of the brick people come up with on this board = out of running

Where does Redknapp fit into that rule?

No way he would ever have been appointed as manager of a top four club.

Or is he the exception that proves the rule? ;)

Think not. I think he's proof that a top club doesn't necessarily need a top coach. Want more proof? Arsene Wenger, signed from Nagoya Grampus Eight or somewhere similar. Nobody had heard of the bloke when he arrived, and now look where he's taken Arsenal. Still more? Pep Guardiola, promoted from Barca's B-team without any top-flight coaching experience. Still more? Massimiliano Allegri, signed from mid-table Cagliari by Milan. Still more? Jurgen Klopp, signed from Mainz 05 by Dortmund.

I think people want a proven manager because they fear a reversal of the work done by Harry. And it's a legitimate concern; I often fear the same thing myself. But we can't restrict ourselves exclusively to the top men and potentially miss out on a possibly era-defining coach from lower down the orders. By all means, try for a well-known name; the Guardiolas, Ancelottis and Mourinhos of this world. But if we can't get any of them, there's nothing wrong with going for a younger or less known coach with new ideas. A few of these would be;

Nigel Adkins- on the verge of gaining back to back promotions with the Saints, and did quite well at S****horpe as well.
Lucien Favre - has got Borussia Monchengladbach, a relatively poor and unfancied team, sitting fourth in the Bundesliga while barely spending any money.
Mauricio Pochettino - has kept Espanyol punching above their weight for quite a while now, implementing a well-rehearsed, slick style of play.
Slaven Bilic - has done quite well with the Croatian national football team, implementing a sharp, incisive attacking system and guiding them to quite a few international tournaments.

And hell, if it comes down to it, even Brendan Rodgers. Even though he still doesn't fully convince me.

What about Hodgson, manager of the year at Fulham, then went to Liverpool and failed.
What about Ramos, did brilliantly with Sevilla then apparently failed at Spurs even though he's still the only man in donkeys years to get us a trophy.
What about McClaren, failed at everything then won a league in Holland, he must be good now so we'll get him back.

For everyone of your success stories I'll find a failure. Also, sometimes managers just click at a club. It's not always becuse they are great, but because they have no pressure, no expectations and no media like the English media.
 
We should also add Phil Brown to the list of managers who have achieved Premier League promotion, and went on to record memorable wins against Top 6 opposition as a result becoming local folkore legends and possible future Spurs managers.

Also Neil Warnock

And Clipboard man

Winning a league in Holland doesn't make you a good manager. **** Jol could win a league in Holland.

As for Ramos, he did go on to coach Real Madrid, so he must have been half-way decent.

And Hodgson's doing pretty well at WBA, by most standards.

For those three, I think their limits were fairly easy to spot. Schteve's were easy to spot when he was England manager. Ramos' limits were self-created, because he didn't learn the goddamn language. Roy's were, and remain, that he doesn't have the aptitude necessary to manage the top sides, but thrives in a less pressurised environment.

So, the way I see it, if a manager's

a)tactically and motivationally sound, unlike Schteve,
b)willing to learn the language, unlike Juande, and
c)able to cope with the pressure of a big job, unlike Woy,

then he deserves a crack at our post. I believe the managers I picked out fulfill most or all of these criteria, whereas most failed managers fail at least one of these categories.

As for some managers just clicking, well, that's even more of a reason not to blithely discard potential appointments in favour of the big-name bosses.

I'm not asking the club to pick up Terry 'Shank' Skiverton, fresh out of Frankland and manager of 'Ard 'Eads FC, just someone who they believe is able to inspire us to the top, regardless of his reputation.
