Next Spurs manager mega-thread

[DubaiSpur]

no point in having Carr if the manager decides to ignore the advice.

anyway, the good players Saudi Sportswashing Machine have bought are hardly unknown. All performed very well for their previous clubs. Pardew and Hughton must take most credit for separating the wheat from the chaff offered

Well, it depends on what you define as 'unknown'. Certainly seeing as we never went for Cisse, Ba, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Tiote et al, despite them having now proved themselves capable of improving our squad, our manager must have a differing definition of 'unknown' to you. I understand that it would have been a gamble going for them, as there's no guarantee they would have performed as well for us, but the fact that Harry's already bemoaned his own hesitancy in going for a couple of those players, and will probably do the same for a couple more in due course, means that he's looked at them but thought they weren't good enough. Why? because he didn't know enough about them to judge. Hence they were unknown to him. Whereas someone like Carr would perhaps have made 'Arry more aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

The fans reaction is more to do with the abject failure in the second half of the season than the comparison with previous league positions.

It's been way OTT though. it's actually pretty sick, a lot of it.

we're still in 4th FFS. we can still do it. we're in an FA Cup semi yet some (or a lot of??) people want the 'c***' gone. makes us look, well, pretty shameful imo.

Who wants the '****' gone? Certainly nobody wants him gone now. After the season's end, at the very earliest, and even then he's probably buggering off to the England job anyway. So discussing who'll replace him isn't exactly screaming for his head, seeing as the chances of him staying are very, very small as it is.

Martinez is more handsome, smouldering Spanish looks, and he is a snappy dresser.

David Moyes hahaha do me a favour, he would last about 6 months before everyone got tinkled off with the bland style he loves.

Jose is the only man who would guarantee success. He's a winner.

i agree that maybe Carr is more of a persuasive character and could convince a manager better than others into signing some of the players scouted.

If he lasted 6 months before someone got tinkled off with him, he could easily reach legendary status with Spurs. Normally its a few weeks or 2 or 3 average games and said players is brick and must be sold or dropped.

Moyes doesnt quite get the credit he deserves. I think the real people in football know what a brilliant job he does, but the armchair football managers think they know best.

Wouldnt mind in the slightest is he was shortlisted. Vastly experienced manager.

Definitely. Those that think he can't 'make the step up' need to look at our very own Harry Redknapp. He's managed to take us from bottom in the league to a top four finish, Champions League quarter finalists and twice FA Cup semi-finalists. I believe that Moyes is even more schrewd, and started managing in the modern era - I believe he would be more adaptable than people think. How else could he cut and change Everton's squad each year on a small budget so that they could be contenders?

 

[Park Lane James]

Double post

Under Moyes, we would be 15th at Christmas and 4th by the last game of the season. Starts brick, and then powers thru the table, thats his way

How can people possibly know this?

I just read a post from someone who spoke of Moyes being a vastly experienced manager. Yet Ive also read posts from that person in the past slating Harry for only winning one FA Cup in 30yrs.

What funds did Harry have at Bournmouth, West Ham, Pompey and Southampton? But Moyes is excused from doing anything of note in the game because he's on a budget?

So basically the opposite of Spurs?

So when we are 15th at Christmas, you will all be happy and upbeat about our up and coming January revival?

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

Much worse things have happened to the club.

Whenever I ask that of people who slag off Harry I rarely get an answer. Bournemouth, never in the top flight in their history, what did people expect Harry to win there? West Ham, four trophies in their entire history, yet Harry should have been drowning in cups? At Southampton he was only there for half of one season then half of the next. At Pompey, with a bit of cash, he won a cup.

short for 'hear him, hear him' as they used to say in the house of commons, i believe.
