    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I think this is exactly my feelings on Levy too. The right executive to take a business through their different stages of growth might be a different one, and maybe Levy has reached that point. Maybe he is knackered and needs a sabbatical. I think he’s a good man that has done a lot for the...

    Of course. If they are approached. No one said any different.

    Christ, it's pedantic central on this forum today. I get what you are saying...if all the players are back, of course there will be more opportunities for a new manager to learn about the group dynamics. Similarly, what other people are saying is having a manager in a little bit sooner than a...

    ? I don't think anyone is saying they would have the interview the day they are approached.

    If Potter was up for it, I'd hope Paratici interviews him with a completely open mind. I'd find it a little ridiculous that because we've hired an Italian DOF we can only hire Italian coaches that he's aware of.

    @Finney Is Back is talking about before they've even been approached. No doubt if you want the job you prepare. But the idea that top coaches are immediately ready to jump with every little bit of detail on the off chance they might not get a call, is a little fanciful. It's a way of excusing...

    Seems like we agree then.

    Well, ‘a lot of people’ can’t mean me, as I’ve said repeatedly it’s those 3-4 people I trust, and not the others.

    The point was, why have those core 3-4 people not been making up another link to fill column inches?

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Its the decisions that were made at a time when it was rosey. The strategic alignment. We haven’t had that for 3 years now, I would say, and I would say that was why Poch was able to be successful.

    Second time someone says this - is it not just being wildly pedantic in relation to the point I was making? Which was that he probably has some general access across the game but that I didn’t consider him an authority on Spurs?

    Doesn’t seem like they’ve been reported as in serious discussion with the club by the core 3-4 journos though? This is what I mean. I don’t see anyone losing their brick over Klinsmann or Nuno. I don’t think people have been taking those links seriously. It’s the ones that come from people with...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    It's a really interesting point. I came at it from the angle of thinking the job became something that Levy wasn't best suited to. When organisations scale, the right person to lead from to the first $100M of revenue is not often the right person to lead them to over $1BN, and so on. As the...

    Where's the latest name after Gattuso? Why are they not frantically filling column inches making up the next story?

    Next Manager?

    Everyone keeps talking about Romano....#1 he works for the Guardian, he probably has some contacts in the game on a general basis although I don't consider him to be an authority on Spurs. I also don't consider anyone from the Mirror to be an authority on Spurs. I keep saying it. Gold, KP, JPB...

    Next Manager?

    Agreed. I'm a fan too because I see what people in the game say about him. I actually think he's enhanced his reputation quite well by taking the Belgium job, I'd just be surprised if he'd turn down a top 6 PL job in order to try for a World Cup. I don't think his reputation goes meaningfully...

    Next Manager?

    I think this is pretty interesting to consider. Why were there so many leaks? Why has it suddenly gone quiet? Are you saying this may be part of the Paratici playbook and he's been told he needs to reign it in a bit? Will have a listen later. I really think this whole idea of the 'journos make...

    Next Manager?

    I think he probably has to win the Euros or the WC for his reputation to be significantly enhanced further via Belgium. And I'm not sure the balance of probabilities makes it worth it. I think he's young enough that he wants to be a club guy, and has the energy to get back in. Would quite like...

    Next Manager?

    I think he took the Belgium job to recover his reputation after Everton and prove he could manage top players. I also think he’d be mad not to take our job if he has any interest in getting back into club football. We’re the best he’ll get.

    Well, there’s unambitious and there’s what’s possible. If our finances are buggered, I have much less of an issue with the club with this manager search. Short of ENIC selling up, we have to make do with what’s possible, and in that instance I would totally understand we were looking for a...
