Next Spurs manager mega-thread

Even though I like Rogers he seems to be taking far too many plaudits for Swanseas style of football. Their system was already well in place BEFORE he took over, he has continued their progress nonetheless. This reminds me a lot of a certain Juande Ramos, and all the praise he stole for the way Sevilla played.....

My City supporting mates are just waiting for him to be snapped up by a bigger club.
There are a number of things that i like about the way Lambert has gone about things. I know in pre-season so Norwich would be prepared for the premier league and the step up in quality of opposition, knowing better ball retention would be key he got his team to work constantly on passing and moving with the ball. He wasnt bothered about results it was literally about drilling into the squad that to survive in the division when they had the ball they had to control it for as long as possible and playing the percentages. I know Norwich dont play the passing game of Swansea for example but they are effective when in possession and im sure are more so because of him preparing them in this way. Norwich are of course now above Swansea in the league.
He also only bought players who he thought had the mentality to want to continue to improve and had something to prove. Players that would buy into his ethos and do what he demanded of them. It didnt matter that they were league 1/championship players. They didnt need a name or reputation. Im sure their skill level came into it but if a player wasnt of the right mentality he wouldnt be bought. You can see it in the performances. They are constantly proving people wrong this season because of the work ethic and ehtos he has instilled in them and there have been very few games this season where they have been outclassed.
Also as mentioned he has set up his squad to be extremely flexible when it comes to tactics. They can play in a number of ways and he will change the team during the game if something isnt working.
I dont know if i would want him as Spurs manager just yet if it came down to it but that may be down to arrogance on my behalf. He's a guy who knows how to train his team, knows exactly what he wants from his players, prepares his team thoroughly for the opposition and adapts during games if things arent working. One for the future?

It was in fact Roberto Martinez who got the system going at Swansea and got them playing superb stuff before he took the Premier League job at Wigan and even has them playing a similar style too!

Martinez is another candidate, good young manager, pass and move football. I need TP for my bunghole
Modric THFC
Jimmy McCormick
His team are heading for relegation.
I remember his team turning up at WHL and getting dingdonged 9-1.

I know they have been working toward it for some time, particularly through Martinez (who was poached to the premiership and has managed to keep wigan up)
I think its undeniable that Rodgers improved Swansea when he took over though. They went from playing good stuff to playing better stuff AND winning.

after the 9-1 the next time they came to WHL they won 1-0. Quite a turnaround then. Man U got dingdonged 6-1 at home by City, is Ferguson brick?
he is managing Wigan mate.....they are no Norwich, no Swansea even.
There has never been any passion for football in Wigan, brick attendances, only been a top flight club since 2005 until now, never before in their history, the money/investment form Dave Whelan has severely dried up in recent years. Not an easy job at all

I think lambert is a little like o'neil but i hope he has a better style of play then o'neil whose teams i have always hated.
Im still going with lambert as my favourite but owen coyle is the man next on my list. If bolton could actually afford a striker then they would do so much better, remember them with sturridge?
I like coyle a lot, his rating may have fallen a bit but i think he is a very good manager.

Good point I think, and possibly the biggest difference between him and Rodgers who seems to be very focused on perfecting one style of play, Lambert seems to be a lot more flexible and focused on having different options available to him. Not saying one way is better than the other, just different.

The David Moyes Thread
OK, personally, I think this guy is going to be our next manager. What are people's thoughts regarding him?
For me, he is a guarantee of us being competitive for a top four finish, year on year. Whether he will take us beyond that, I don't know. Whether he will play the kind of football I'd want to watch, I don't know. Moyes' Everton are a team I tend to admire and respect from a far, rather than a team I'll be excited about watching.
I expect the likes of Modric would leave, as I don't think Moyes would be an ambitious enough acquisition to convince him to stay, but I think we'd become much more organised and difficult to beat, which may be enough to compensate in terms of results alone. I also think the guy would be a good ambassador for the club, for what it's worth. OK, he's quite dry and isn't going to crack gags like Jol and Redknapp, but he's generally respectful of the fans and other clubs (refused to talk about Pienaar in January, as he was "a Spurs player, and it would be disrespectful", for example).
Ultimately, if we are going to go domestic, from the current pool of Premier League managers, as I suspect Levy will want to after the relative failure of Ramos and success of Redknapp, Moyes seems like the best option.

Big respect for Moyes.
Wouldnt want him to manage us at all.
His playing style makes the eyes bleed and I question his ability in the transfer market at our level

I laugh at people saying they don't want Moyes because of his football, but want Mourinho who plays exactly the same.
Moyes has never had the chance to manage a club with financial backing. Would like to see how he would do here, I think he'd be successful.
My only worry is why he doesn't manage to get his teams playing well until January every season

Definitely wouldnt want him managing us. I dont see his dull, attritional brand of football as one which I want to see at WHL nor one with which its that easy to succeed. At least people like Rodgers have shown that its possible to build a team with minimal money AND play some of the best passing football in Europe
We can do far better than Moyes. He's the sort of level which we should have gone for before. We're better than that now
