Next Spurs Manager v.2

[indianspur]

Ancellotti (who levy had lined up to take over from redknapp before his last season) is moving closer to getting sacked by Madrid in the summer with every bad result they get. Looks like they'll be finishing way down in 3rd in la liga. If they lose to Dortmund I'd say that's him gone.

top manager, would love him at the Lane. Howeber he is one who utd will be very tempted to hire if he is available in the summer. Has more years ahead of him than someone like LVG which imo will prove more attractive to the Utd hierarchy

 

[chancer]

My preference is Sherwood, but Ancellotti is the one (realistic) candidate I'd take ahead of him. Fannying around with LvG or Prandelli is just more of the same old nonsense as Spurs have tried for 20 years. At least Ancellotti has a track record in England, plays good football, seems like a decent guy, doesn't seem to have a problem ego, has star pulling power, and he might stick around long enough to set foundations for the future/mentor in Sherwood.

Yup, I most definitely would.


Ed: I cannot see United sacking Moyes after 1 season, almost irrespective of what happens the rest of the season.

Guardiola might be on the market this summer, apparently things are not rosy behind the scenes at Bayern.....his availability would make a few clubs reassess their current managers. Utd, City, Arsanal surely would be tempted if Guardiola was up for grabs

Please not Arsenal. Anyone but them.

Spurs have been a great proposition for a manager who would like to take on a club with a lot of potential but then again we've been saying that for what, 7 or 8 years now? I get the feeling we'll either end up with Sherwood or another Santini.

If people think there is a chance that either Ancelotti or Guardiola could happen then they need to think again. As much as I'd be doing back flips down the street upon such news I think there's more chance of Nigel Farage proposing deeper EU integration and adopting the Euro than one of those two becoming our next manager.

Guardiola doesn't go for clubs that have significant work to do to win, his mo so far has been go for a finished product at the top of it's game.

If he goes for any club in England it would be City.

i never said we would be able to get Guardiola :lol: ............Ancellotti isnt in the Guardiola league, plus he has already managed AC Milan, Juve, Chelski, PSG, Real Madrid, so if their werent any big jobs available in the summer (like if City, Man U and Arsanal stick with their current managers) then i dont see why we couldnt get Carlito in

no he's not, Carlo's quite a few rungs higher i'd say

 

[Raziel]

We pay managers well, Ancellotti supposedly has been interested in the past, don't see us being his first choice ..

Would be a good call, experienced, knows the league, not controversial, could get a few years out of him ...

but he has only had 2 jobs so far, its far too soon to say what type of clubs he prefers to manage. No-one expected him to take the Bayern job, yes a top club ready made to succeed but given the fact he couldnt speak a word of German and had to learn the language from scratch, wanted to experience a totally different way of thinking/culture, shows that he isnt one to go for the easy option. He could easily have taken the City job last summer, after all his former Barca colleagues Bergerestein and the other fella were already there and tried their hardest to get him there. Guardiola speaks perfect english, it would have been the easiest choice.............I think he would be up for an Arsanal kind of challenge. They have a lot of things already in place, the stadium, training ground, an attractive well drilled way of playing he can tweak and improve upon, plenty of money waiting to be spent. There is work to do to turn them into challengers, but buying players and working on the training pitch are all he has to deal with

 

[indianspur]

:lol: i disagree...........i didnt mean to disrespect Carlo, when i say he is not in the same league it just means he just a slight step down from Guardiola and Mourinho who i consider to be the 2 best managers currently plying their trade. Just my opinion. Ive said it long ago, i think its somewhere in this thread, that Ancellotti would be my choice if Real decide to sack him in the summer

 

[Cochise]

I can't see City getting shot of Pellegrini though, I mean the guy has had them playing some of the best football in the league and they look capable of winning the league too. Personally I wouldn't be suprised if Guardiola ended up back at Barcelona, that is if they end up empty handed at the end of the season.

I'd still go for LVG, as most reports seem to build him up as the man to take a squad of young players and turn them into a football team.

 

[Baleforce]

best thing about LVG is we can recycle the AVB songs

this was an article back in late 2011........very interesting if you think about it (Sherwoods name was considered all the way back then) :-k CARLO ANCELOTTI is Tottenham’s No.1 managerial target if Harry Redknapp gets the England job next summer, with Tim Sherwood also a shock contender on chairman Daniel Levy’s short-list.

People Sport understands Ancelotti has been contacted by a third party acting on behalf of Spurs, who fear they will lose manager Redknapp to the Three Lions once Fabio Capello’s reign is over, to see if he would be interested in the post.

And all the noises from the Italian, who still lives in England, are he would jump at the chance to take over at White Hart Lane.

Ancelotti, a two-time Champions League winner during his eight-year reign at AC Milan, fell in love with London and English football during his two years at Chelsea – and the chance to get back into the Premier League with a club of Spurs’ standing would suit him perfectly.

Liked

Levy, however, has plenty of time to make sure he gets the right candidate and he will give serious thought to several other names.

And, significantly, he will also include former Tottenham and Blackburn midfielder Sherwood, who won the Premier League with Rovers and was capped three times by England, in his thoughts.

Sherwood is a member of Redknapp’s coaching staff at Spurs Lodge, where he runs the academy, and is well liked in the corridors of power at White Hart Lane.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was not afraid to take a punt on Andre Villas-Boas, 33, in the summer and, with the landscape of football changing, Sherwood, 42, can’t be discounted.

But Ancelotti, who won the double in his first season at Chelsea, is for now the man at the top of Spurs’ short list for if – or rather when – the FA go knocking on Redknapp’s door.

He has always said it would be virtually impossible for him to turn the England job down and he is the overwhelming favourite, ahead of Roy Hodgson, to be the next Three Lions’ boss.

But replacing Redknapp with a manager of Ancelotti’s stature would placate Spurs’ fans.

I don't think you can really generalise like that for guardiola considering he's managed only two clubs and one if those he was bred into the managers position. In saying that it certainly is more likely one of the big boys will snap him up long before we do.

 

[diego_maradona]

Fannying around with LvG or Prandelli is just more of the same old nonsense as Spurs have tried for 20 years.

We've not had someone of the calibre of LVG in the last 20 years

Actually I think you can, he was highly respected for what he did at Barca, but there was that question of could he do it outside Barca.

He had the pick, I'm sure he could have had United/City/PSG/you name it, who did he pick? a team that was at the top of their game, with improvements coming in, a team who could (and has) sleep walked through their league, a 1 team league which give him no pressure to win title, and allow his focus to be on CL ...

Hey, not blaming the guy, but make no mistake, he took the easiest of the high profile gigs available

Well he did to be sure, but I guess my point was calling it his modus operandi is stretching it a bit considering he only moved club once!

Semantics aside I guess the question is would he every take over at a club like Arsenal? They're not the finished article by any means but not a complete rebuild from the ground up either. Who knows Guardiola's mind, but I don't think it beyond the realms of possibility. Taking off my Spurs tinted goggles I can see the attraction of the Arsenal gig - stadium, money, CL (probably), and a style of play not a million miles away from the Barca style he has helped shape. And the clincher is the chance to work with Wheelchair

Fingers crossed he wins the CL, makes up with whomever in Bayern and this will remain a hypothetical discussion.

The issue with the Scum (and trying to temper the hatred) is anyone can see their board isn't really ambitious, there isn't even a stated desire to win PL/CL/anything. The ugly truth is they are very happy to stay top 4, get out of group stage in CL and charge the highest prices in the country for it. I still think the Ozil buy was a pacify move, not a true statement of intent.

Any top tier manager coming to the Scum is going to want 100M+ (Keeper, DM, Striker, CB cover) and want the support to actually try and win something, I think the Scum's board is not interested in paying/risking funds for that, if they give enough to get top 4 and circumstances allow them to be in a position to challenge, great, but actually risking/driving for that, no ...

I wouldn't dispute that at all.

But he's only better than what we've had by degrees. It's the nature of the appointment I question, not the relative strength of the individual.

Ancelotti would be a rare exception, because he appears to lack (crippling) ego. I think he'd buy into a long term vision, would agree to mentor Sherwood, and could actually stick around for some time if he likes it. LvG would be in and out the door after a few years (age/poached by someone/gets the hump/falls out with people) and I doubt he'd be arsed with a long term strategy.

If LvG is appointed, I'd be excited and positive. But it just seems like too easy a thing to do. It requires no balls to appoint LvG. Appointing AVB, Martinez or Sherwood is ballsy, and it's that direction I'd prefer.
