Sort of remembered similar things being said about Redknapp... and that didn't turn out to be too bad. A couple of 4th place finishes and a magnificent Champions League adventure would do just fine by me...

that's a rather ignorant post KD, even by your standards
It's an honest opinion and was proven wrong by DHSF anyway (although i did say most).

I've heard all of these promises before, I just want someone in who is going to win now, or at least give us the best chance to. I'll gladly take some more of the Harry days, even if he didn't come here with a project or promise an ethos, philosophy or any of these other cool buzz words.
I certainly dont expect Pulis or Bruce.
Nevertheless I don't agree that neither of the have done good "enough" jobs. Stoke are now an established premiership club something that they dreamed of before Pulis. The only reason he left was that he raised unrealistic expectations.
I would say that they are both less of a risk than a foreign manager...poch included.
As I said before they wouldn't get long to impress as they aren't "the next big thing" and our egos couldn't handle the laughter from rival fans.

Sorry mate. This style, ethos, "Tottenham way" - call it what you want - is something I cannot understand; and that's after 40 years of following the club.
I can assure you that my weekend is still p****d off if we lose in style but is nice and fine if we win at all costs.
To me it has always been an excuse for our lack of success over the years, especialy pre-PL, which is actually pathetic considering the size of club .
I am sick and tired of being ballsy and then ending up the butt of a hundred jokes and put downs.
If Benitez can replicate even two of his cup successes at WHL, I will bring him from Napoli on my back if I have to...
I think the top contenders are all good choices.
The main issue is how long will they get? After the dozen managers I've seen and the handful of appointments by levy I believe that it's time to grow up and do something different.
We have to admit there is a ceiling for Tottenham. Whenever we do well top players want to leave, whenever we do badly the coach must change. The two things are not independent and it's not far off one or the other every season.
Tottenham need stability at a player and management level, levy has never delivered this. Longer contracts haven't worked as they aren't respected by the fans, players, staff or the club. Everybody is treated like a commodity.
Let's try something different. Let's try to honour the contacts and as fans not panic and think that the grass is greener.

Not sure. 4 years in and he seems ready to leave Ajax for greener pastures. And that's "his" club. No reason to think that he wouldn't do the same if he gets relative success with us and a bigger club comes in for him. And with his profile in Spain and his history at Barca I'm not sure he wouldn't get a call...
I actually think that Poch seems like potentially the most loyal out of him, FdB and Benitez. Had Southampton not gotten rid of their chairman that Poch was reportedly close to I think there's a very good chance we wouldn't have a chance of even getting him.
For Benitez we will always be "that other club".
Pulis got sacked because he failed to improve the club for years despite spending a lot of money. Just look at the @20m spent on Crouch and Palacios! And he failed to produce top players where others succeeded at other clubs.
Would you have mentioned Bruce in your arguments before his Hull career?

This hits the tickle my balls with a feather.
It's all well people wanting someone to build some kind of Dynasty, long term vision etc, but that's dependent on 2 important variables:
1)Will they be given time
2)Will they honour their contract
I would say that both are extremely unlikely, and that even one of the above is extremely unlikely!
Rafa please.

No manager will be given time for us unless there are short term results or clear signs of improvements.
Like most top clubs in most leagues.

But many others dont care about fans who's moods swings depending on their teams results.
I don't give a **** about workplace bragging rights.
I'll be watching 80 plus hours of Tottenham a year and I don't wanna sit through an hour of Benitez's football.

Tim Sherwood
Me too.
Any of the 3 candidates would be very welcomed by me.
And yes - this really needs to all happen before the players leave to meet-up with their international teams. Treat it as a mid-season turnaround, none of this early July stuff like AVB was.

The personal ads.
Just imagine the meltdown!
At this moment in time I think if we can get either FDB or Rafa then we absolutely should. They have the pedigree and reputation to really make a statement.
However, I'm uncomfortable with the idea of putting all our eggs in the basket of a second choice. In those circumstances I'd consider keeping Tim for another year, giving him a full season and seeing where we are when his contract runs out.
I don't like Tim but in the absence of an obvious top manager candidate perhaps it might pay to be a little patient and see who's available in a years time.
