    Next Manager?

    I think it’s the only thing that makes sense, but I think our new MD of Football going after a manager from the Italian league he might have rated in Fonseca was certainly very plausible too.

    Just want to make clear that I won’t be taking a rumour about Nuno at all seriously until it’s reported by someone with closer links to the club than Talksport.

    Next Manager?

    I agree that they post what they got told, not what might be actually happening. But when it comes to all 3 or 4 of them talking about the same specific targets, you’d have to assume there’s a kernel of truth in it. But let’s run with it. What actually is the plan? If we were proactively and...

    Tell us what you think is untrue that they’ve said about the managerial hunt? Did we, or did we not, speak to Paratici, Fonseca, Gattuso? ‘They have to publish something’ is when Gold puts up his ‘here’s my ideal Spurs XI next season’ or something similar. Not when he, Kilpatrick and...

    Gold, Kilpatrick and Pitt-Brooke are not wannabes. They interview our manager publicly every week during the season. They have some access. I don’t see anyone else trusting any other source than one of those three.

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    No one has been saying ‘will join tomorrow’. The closest and most definitive statement has been around Fonseca likely being unveiled next week after working through the final details. After his wife was talking about butterflies for a new challenge beginning. But it has never been reported that...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Quite right. It’s not ambitious to talk to Conte and not actually have a pitch and plan to convince him. It’s not ambitious to talk to Rivaldo and get a letter explaining why he didn’t go our way. Ambition is actually getting it done.

    Despite everything I still have enough trust in the club that it won’t be Klinnsman, and that there is some method to all of this. But we need to pull it out from here. I feel like a club manager would have been hired already so I hope we know what we are doing.

    It’s hard to win a major tournament when other good teams exist, and when it’s tournament football and anything can happen. I don’t blame him for not winning something when France are as deep as they are too, and at least he gets to the latter stages. I don’t hold that against him. If his...

    I’m on the Martinez train. I feel like if it was a club guy we need to pay comp for we would have done it already. (Unless there’s some calculation that by playing off these other candidates we can somehow reduce the comp fee…but I’m not sure how that outweighs the benefits of getting them in...

    What exactly are they getting wrong? That we have had some advanced discussions with managerial candidates? What exactly is hard to take in about this?

    Next Manager?

    I’m being asked for evidence all the time on here. You will not be able to find a trusted journalist saying it was a ‘done deal’ or ‘signed’ because none of the core group said that. This is slightly different to what I was annoyed about a few weeks ago (the club pumping stories of Conte and...

    But mate, where did any of this journalists say it was a ‘done deal’? We’ve had ‘Poch wants to come home but PSG won’t let him’ We’ve had ‘Conte is the front runner’ We’ve had ‘Fons has filed work permits, hope to complete the deal next week’ And we’ve had ‘Gattuso front runner, talks...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Mate, I and others can’t keep trying to explain to people how journalism works. At some point you just have to accept it, read up on it, or ask people in the real world how it works. Clearly you don’t trust what people are saying here. To be clear, I am not saying Gold or KP have pull or...

    Next Manager?

    I can’t see that you’ve answered this, what is ‘true’ to you? No journalist had confirmed that Poch or Conte or Fonseca had actually signed. They had confirmed fairly deep talks. Are you saying that not signing one of them proves they were wrong? How does that work, when the report was about...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I think it’s important to say that there are a few folks here criticising the club, Levy, for something very specific. It is the chaos of the managerial search that leaves us sacking Jose and moving from Poch to Gattuso, after supposedly filing permits for Fonseca. There seems to be some...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    He’s not winning a Pulitzer any time soon but in this niche world of Spurs, he is quite obviously connected. He gets to ask the manager questions every week. By that measure alone he is a proper journalist.

    Ok, so Levy has said nothing. Are you saying you believe that Levy has spoken to 0 managers? I believe we spoke to Conte. I believe we spoke to Fonseca. I see that the most well connected and reputable journalists, who clearly have a line into the club and who the club use, had been talking...

    I really think this might all be something that leads us to Martinez. Southgate is just such a perfect England manager, such a perfect FA man, so suited to international football, I don’t think he wants this job. I think Martinez is looking for a route back in. Belgium was his chance to prove...
