The new, new manager thread - Pt 3

If the contract extension with Rafa is true, then I think that definitely rules him out. Cant think of anyone else we are linked with. With us being outclassed by Basel two years ago and Murat Yakin not having a job, I wonder if he'll end up in the frame.

I'd like to know what de Boer has over Yakin. Someone tell me, no need for an essay, just a few legitimate points will do.

Well you dont know what number choice he is. In fact like in any job you draw up a shortlist, interview them all then decide. Just because x and y have been mentioned in the press doesnt mean they are first choice...

yep - i don't think there are 1st and 2nd choices really, at least until after the interview process has happened
 
I know as much about Yakin as I do De Boer in terms of management. From our previous encounters and their efforts in the CL (against Chelsea), I have been very impressed. Thought they played us off the park in the first half in our Europa league game at home.

Considering how likely it's looked that Poch would leave Southampton this summer I would say that if the reports are true that he's about to sign a new contract with them now I think it's at least as likely that this means that we've chosen someone else over him as it is that he's turned us down.

Name other games in Redknapps stint where we were involved in a two legged tie of this magnitude where it was essential we played that brand of disciplined football (bar the Madrid game where a player was sent off inside the first 10 minutes)??

The two legged bit isn't that important. We should have played like that in every game against the rest of the top 6/7, most away matches, and all challenging cup ties. It's how you win competitions - by every game having a perfectly devised gameplan and implementing it with finely-tuned precision.

GutterBoy - this is not the thread to discuss the pro's and con's of previous managers. if you really feel the subject hasn't been explored enough on here find a suitable thread in the history of SN&V history to continue the discussion or start a new one if you must.

please do not derail an otherwise interesting thread as i imagine most posters are either over the subject or have as much interest in discussing the finer points of Redknapps reign as they do smashing their head against a brick wall.

but Redknapp had an excellent record with us against the top 6/7 which i've posted before. Would you like me to post it again?

The two legged tie is very important. That's why you say we looked like "Man united, Barca or Juve"...because they've been involved in ties of this magnitude where it required a defensively solid display and a very structured gameplan.

Agree. We could have already informed him of our choice and he was not it. I suppose it is a bit arrogant of us to think like that but I'd say that is the more likely sequence of events.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy waiting to hear Carlo Ancelotti's fate as he considers next manager

The Spurs supremo would like an experienced man at the helm and the Real Madrid coach is his pick, should Champions League final success evade him on Saturday

The Spurs supremo would like an experienced man at the helm and the Real Madrid coach is his pick, should Champions League final success evade him on Saturday

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will finally kick-start his plans for a new manager this weekend - once the result of the Champions League final is known.

Levy is waiting for the fate of Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti to be determined as the Italian could be axed if the Spanish giants miss out in Europe having failed in the title race.

Levy's first move after sacking Andre Villas Boas last December was to go for the experience of Louis van Gaal.

The Holland coach decided at the time that he didn't want to combine both roles then opted for the Manchester United job when that became available.

Tim Sherwood took over when 44-year-old Ajax coach Frank De Boer opted to stay at his club in January. But Sherwood was sacked last week with his stormy relationship with the Spurs players overshadowing his impressive win ratio.

Although 42-year-old Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino is now seen as the favourite for the job ahead of De Boer, Levy would still prefer a seasoned man in charge.

In his first season in charge at Chelsea five years ago, 54-year-old Ancelotti led the club to the Premier League and FA Cup Double. He has also won titles in Italy and France.

If Ancelotti wins tomorrow night and stays or rejects a Tottenham approach, Levy will turn to either Pochettino or De Boer.

i don't think Levy is stupid enough to think we have a chance of getting Ancelotti, at least i hope he isn't
 
i think he'd only be waiting on Ancelotti if he had reason to believe there's a chance he'd come.

personally i think if there's a small chance of it being possible it'd make sense to wait a few days before pressing ahead with any other appointment. can you imagine if we appointed someone this week, Ancelotti get's sacked on Monday and says he would have loved the chance to manage us - how much **** Levy would get for not waiting it out :lol:

Agreed, we simplify by making these lists. A manager looking for a new job will generally have a few possibles. A club looking for a new manager will have a short list of candidates (possibly including a few unlikely ones). Both will be looking for the best fit. FdB and Poch have good jobs so are looking for the right opportunity, that could be us or not. They have the choice of staying put and waiting for a better offer. They could even use us to flush out a better offer. Similarly, until Levy hears their plans and demands, there is no sensible way of having preferences.
 
Not many quotes in that piece. I'd say the Mirror editor was around Mr. Lewis desk wondering why he hadn't filed copy and he was putting his coat on.

Tottenham are not planning to speak to any managers currently unemployed about their vacancy at White Hart Lane.

Spurs have been searching for a new boss since sacking Tim Sherwood earlier this month after the club finished sixth in the Premier League.

Daniel Levy has not put a timeframe on his search for a ninth manager since becoming Spurs chairman in 2001.

Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino has been strongly linked with the job along with Ajax coach Frank de Boer.

However, Tottenham's stance would appear to rule out the likes of David Moyes, who was sacked by Manchester United last month, as well as former Swansea boss Michael Laudrup who left the Liberty Stadium at the beginning of February.

Similarly Neil Lennon, who parted company with Celtic this week in search of a new challenge, and ex-Cardiff boss Malky Mackay are unlikely to be in the running.

Periphery foreign contenders such as former Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink, ex-Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard and Italian Luciano Spalletti, who are all jobless, can also now be discounted.

Bookmakers favourite Pochettino said on 9 May that he will seek answers from Southampton's new board over the direction of the club before committing his future to St Mary's.

Tottenham denied making an approach for De Boer on 30 April while Sherwood was still in charge.

There was that talk when Redknapp was still here that Ancelloti was waiting in the wings. Perhaps him and Levy got on so well and have an understanding that both like the idea IF the situation ever arose again that the seat was empty and Carlo was not otherwise employed that he would be involved.

Slim to no chance but who knows
