Some will post that you can't believe anything anyone says or anything in the media...until it goes against what they think, and then, hey presto - it's all suddenly true!

Spurs appointed Sherwood on an 18 month contract in between.

Terrible sample size then…. Was it 6 games in charge of us that Mason got last season?
Agreed. If they succeed for another year, they wont be interested in us. If they have a poor season, we wont be interested in them. Probably a grey area in between, but its a bit like signing players in that they might be gettable one year and out of reach he next

They don’t have to be a ‘big name’. They just have to be good. It is worrying though when potential DoFs are turning down your approaches.
Its a bit understandable - you want them to be big/experienced enough that they can cover the full remit of decisions including manager appointments, but not be so senior or have a big enough ego that they have a problem reporting to Munn rather than Levy. I can see why the Munn role might be an issue for some potential DoFs

Daniel to appoint the PL's first caretaker on a 12 month contract (as opposed to Nuno, who only got 3 months)? Nice cheap option. Wouldn't rule it out.

The question is what is the conversation that then agrees that either party doesn't want to go ahead ... what is that reason?

Here's a few articles worth reading:

- https://sport.optus.com.au/news/j1-league/os2390/how-japan-sees-ange

Yes, they are written by Australians for Australian media, but there was no one else writing about him at the time. It's hard to find proper Japanese articles like this, but this video might give you a feeling for how revered he is by Yokohama F. Marinos and their fans. When he left, Marinos appointed one of his former players and coaches, Kevin Muscat, and he also won the league last season.
Edit: here's a couple of Japanese blogs that talk about it:

The second with a section on "What Ange Postecoglu gave to Japanese football":

I said this a while ago…. Taking the Spurs job is a very big risk for a manager who has a good (but not lengthy) reputation. We got “no thanks’d” by a fair few managers before we eventually stumbled our way to appointing Nuno in 2021. Some managing clubs where one would naturally expect them to gladly leave to join THFC.
Generally when a person is considering a new senior role they will look at three things….
1. Remuneration
2. Expectations and success criteria
3. Autonomy.
If one of the things isn’t really right then the other two have to be massively skewed to make it worthwhile. If two of the three aren’t there then they shouldn’t accept the role.

Brighton had Dan Ashworth
He is a high profile guy who is now at Saudi Sportswashing Machine

Jesus, it's grim at the moment. All feels a bit hopeless doesn't it? I can't see who or what Levy pulls out of the hat to get people on board. Poch is the obvious answer but Chelsea is a done deal. Therefore, aside from Nagelsmann, I don't see who else we can get that doesn't leave the supporters feeling short-changed.
Levy's position is becoming very, very difficult.

Yet the club told its official mouthpieces that we didn’t have any interest in even talking to Pochettino or Nagelsmann.

Wasn’t Wenger successful at Monaco before going to Japan though?
Wenger’s success also didn’t really come mostly due to his coaching, it came from his incredibly extensive knowledge of players throughout the World. In many ways Wenger would make a brilliant DoF. I think the Arsenal fans were incredibly short sited (as well as ungrateful) in chasing such a brilliantly manager out of their club. I think his natural progression a year or two later would’ve been to have moved upstairs and they could’ve been scarily good if that happened.
No idea, never followed him in all honesty.
I just recall all the fuss over the "Who on earth" comments in the media and from some of the players too when it happened.
You need someone for who Spurs is a clear step up but isnt on such an ascendancy in the PL that they're ungettable (de Zerbi for example would never risk moving o a hire & fire club like we are now). Its why Slot felt like a good name. PL is a big step up from the Netherlands and he probably wouldnt get a bigger role, at least not this year.
Either that or you need someone who failed in a recent role...but even then, someone like Potter who failed quickly at Chelsea will natrually look for stability, and thats one thing which you dont get at Spurs. Risk is that Potter looks for somewhere with more realistic expectations, whereas Rodgers (who I think would take the role) might be ok with high expectations given he's coming off long stints at clubs
Already did that with Pleat before we appointed Arnesen & Santini

Haha, I was a master on the 00/01 version
I also think for balance, people often and rightfully laud a Brighton for their ways and want to be seen to be run like them, would we have taken and celebrated a De Zerbi as we would now had we gone after Shaktars manager? I strongly doubt it but it but we would now, which proves that the name does not have to be marque so to speak and it proves that there are alot of managers out there than this narrowed down version of who people would see as acceptable.
