Hmm. So, in that case, perhaps Rodgers wouldn't be a good choice after all.

That depends on whether or not player look at managers in the same way GG posters seem too.

If they sneer and say "He has only managed half a season" then no, he isnt a good job.

If they have a conversation with him and buy into his footballing ethos and passion then maybe he is the right man after all.

By the same tune - I sincerely hope our manager doesn't consider potential Spurs managers GG posters seem to do

'He's managed a few wins in half a season with a newly promoted team - gotta be good for CL challenging Spurs'

Let's give him at least 2 years, what do you say?




'Hi, Eden - Mr. R here'

'R., B.R.'

No, not Hiddink, Mr. R.'

Who am I? I managed a few decent results with the newly promoted giants of a small nation and also had my players knock about good ball. We kept decent possession up at Goodison Park. Yes, we lost but it doesn't matter - we knocked good ball, Eden' 'We did something similar at Spurs. I think we also lost there but the media liked it so we felt ok afterwards.'

Would you like to play for me? You can also knock good ball. We've got something going here. Luka just left for Man Utd so you can fill his hole. Bale? Not sure where Bale is right now. Some say he could be meeting Xavi for a movie and supper later, not sure. Too many stories to believe - crazy times"

What? Not keen. Please, Eden - think about the ethos, son. What, Di Mattero, who? Frank's lunch money?

Call ends

The problem here is that Rodgers will never be able to do enough with Swansea for him to convince people on here. For some reason, relativity is ignored, if Rodgers has 3 seasons of having Swansea finish 10th-12th whilst playing brilliant football, it still wouldn't be enough as he wouldn't have proven he can "do it at a higher level". Whereas if some AVB clone walks into City/Chelsea/Liverpool etc, spends a whole bunch of money and finishes Top 4 then he's instantly seen as a top manager.

I can understand people being hesitant, its a bit of punt to take a young manager who hasnt had the time/opportunity to win pots and establish himself.

Naturally people want to wait and see.

The issue here is that
a) We (may) need a manager this summer - no time to wait - so we miss him
and then b) if he moves on and does well the chances are we miss out entirely

At the end of the day managers need to get chances somewhere. Sometimes it will not work, sometimes it will pay dividends (Wenger a well used example earlier in the thread)
 
http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/895246-slaven-bilic-confirms-interest-in-becoming-new-tottenham-manager?

The Croatia coach was at White Hart Lane on Sunday to run the rule over Luka Modric ahead of the European Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine this summer.
And he revealed before Spurs’ 3-1 win over Swansea: ‘I would be very interested in being the Tottenham manager, they are a major club with a bright future.
‘But [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy needs to be convinced I am the man for the job.’
If Spurs appointed former West Ham and Everton centre-half Bilic as their new boss it would be a major boost in their battle to keep Modric at White Hart Lane.
The midfielder has been linked with summer bids from Emirates Marketing Project, Manchester United and Chelsea but Bilic said: ‘Everyone knows huge clubs are interested in Luka but what I told him is that he should not forget how big Tottenham are.’
Spurs are set to offer Modric a bumper new contract at the end of the season if they qualify for next term’s Champions League.

Good option IMO. Has done well with Croatia, knows English football well and it may be easier to keep Modric. He's also quite young. Hasn't got much experience as club manager though..

What do you reckon?
 
Can't see Levy going for someone unproven in the PL really, unless it's someone who's won stuff recently abroad.
 
Juventus coach Antonio Conte linked with Tottenham move should Harry Redknapp take England job

Antonio Conte, the Juventus coach, has emerged as a potential candidate for the Tottenham Hotspur manager’s position if England take on Harry Redknapp this summer.

Last month Conte steered Juventus into their first Italian Cup final for eight years with a 2-2 draw against Milan. The 4-3 aggregate win was achieved after extra time, whereupon Conte declared: “We haven’t done anything yet.”

But something is certainly stirring at Juventus and it is in Serie A that Conte’s achievements have been most noteworthy.

In 30 matches this season Conte’s side are unbeaten, with only their high number of draws – 14 against 16 wins – keeping them two points behind Milan at the head of the table.

The path to the Premier League for Conte, who rose to prominence with Serie B promotions during short spells at Bari and Siena, seems assured.

The 42-year-old former Italy international midfielder, who ended his career at Juventus after making more than 400 appearances in the black-and-white shirt, is understood to be taking English lessons.

However, Tottenham deny having made contact with Conte or any other prospective post-Redknapp candidates.

It is said their recruitment procedures will only get under way once the Football Association’s intentions over the England vacancy become clear.

Indeed, Redknapp’s status as the bookmakers’ favourite for that role appeared at least initially to destabilise his squad following Fabio Capello’s resignation in February.

If Wembley’s supposed interest in Redknapp materialises into a job offer, there is no guarantee that – having vacillated between enthusiasm and doubt about the England job – he would accept it.

In that event, or if no FA offer were made, Redknapp will remain Spurs manager into next season. Otherwise, Spurs expect that, if their manager does leave, the vacancy would attract significant interest from leading managers.

That much has been signalled by the number of approaches the Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, has received amid the England speculation surrounding Redknapp.

Everton’s David Moyes has been linked with the role, as has Brendan Rodgers, but the Swansea manager said yesterday he was in no rush to leave the Liberty Stadium.

He has won rave reviews this campaign for his side’s Barcelona-style passing game.

“I take great satisfaction in my job here and it’s nice and humbling whenever people are saying nice things about you,“ said Rodgers, “but for me there are many great managers at this level.

"My only concentration and focus is on our next game and trying to make sure that we can maintain the standards that we have set all season.

“I have been here a couple of seasons and we have had success here. There is always gossip and speculation, which you can’t do much about, but I love it here and hope to continue.”

Meanwhile, Rodgers believes Premier League player of the month Gylfi Sigurdsson is Swansea’s very own Frank Lampard. The 22-year-old Icelandic midfielder, who is on loan from Hoffenheim, scored his sixth goal in 11 league games against Spurs on Sunday.

“It is a great honour for him and shows the level the team have been at as well.” said Rodgers. “He has been a wonderful acquisition, I knew what I was getting and he has delivered brilliantly.

"Hopefully he can continue that until the end of the season.

“He is in the Frank Lampard mould, he gets into the six-yard box, is willing to get his shot off and can score with his head like he did at Fulham.

"I’m not saying he is as good as Lampard but he is that type of goalscoring midfield player.”

Slaven Bilic - potential Spurs manager?

http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/895246-slaven-bilic-confirms-interest-in-becoming-new-tottenham-manager


That would be a gamble, but could pay off? He'd certainly have the man management skills....but could he cut it in the prem?
 
Its gathering momentum. I'm not saying he should get the job, but I think he is a good outside bet if you fancy a punt at the bookies

Would need to cut his teeth at club level before I would want to give him a shot at club management. A good man manager as you say, but could he keep a league team going every week?
 
He's not managed a club, right?
Appointing someone who's never done a similar job to a club the size of Spurs would be lunacy (IMO).

The guy has done an excellent, excellent job for croatia, and i truly believe he'd do a good job for us

Yes he has, but the two jobs are poles apart. Leaving aside the football aspect, the day to day management of a club the size of Spurs is a huge task. Even Harry was surprised at the difference between Spurs and his previous clubs when he came. Too much of a gamble for me for someone who has no experience at doing something similar. Think of it, would you hire someone to manage your business if they had no experience?
 
No thanks

Desperately hitching skirt for a highly paid/publicised job

fudge all club management experience. Got a few decent results with an extremely talented squad and has been living off those England wins for a good 5 years now. Didn't even make the WC.

Not to mention that earing

I rather have Brendan (Mourinho once complimented me) Rogers
