Don't really care about hire and fire culture - i think you can see within a year +/- whether or not a manager is worth persevering with, no use sticking with someone out of hope.
Obviously the important issue is getting the right man appointed in the first place.

Not happening. Why would a manager with a decent reputation risk coming to Spurs and being fired within a year? Particularly given when you'll be expected to challenge for the top 4 despite the squad being a mess. We're just not an attractive opportunity for a decent manager at the moment. Next 2-3 years needs to focus on getting us back to being one - improve the squad, settled squad, not firing the manager, playing attractive football...improving our image
Do you not think those are linked? Its hard to attract someone of a decent quality and experience if they know the Chairman is trigger happy

No i don't think that's the case and i don't put much stock in those rumours - football is a cut throat business and the average time a manager is in the hot seat across the league shows it's pretty common.

Underestimating the arrogance of managers and their view of their own abilities.
Same as when they all sign players that you just know they won't ever turn around but they all proclaim they will....Ballotellitus
So you thikn that in a scenario where we could agree a fee with Brighton, de Zerbi would find our job attractive?

If we cant get Poch or Nagelsmann, I would get Potter on a 2 year deal and see what he can do.
We can then review after 12 months and go from there.

Why do anyone join PSG where a domestic double is considered failure, but you don't have the quality to win the CL?
Or Chelsea that go through managers faster than we manage to re-hire them?
Or Watford that average about three sackings per season?
Or any other club that's at least as big a mess and laughing stock as we apparently are?
It pays well and you'll always get another gig somewhere. Even Everton managed to get Ancelotti and they've mostly been a joke for decades now.
The attractiveness of the managers job is down to many factors and i don't think trigger happiness (which i think is somewhat over played with us anyway) holds much, if any, influence.

Exactly, I was alluding to this earlier, football in that industry is one of pure cut throat nature, when managers and players are not doing their job they are literally manufacturing or positioning their next move hence the sport so awash with a disproportionate number of agents and reps in the game. There are so many moving parts to the game and so much dishonesty and skulduggery that goes on which is why like you I can't take any stock of the blanket responses to why things are likely to happen.

Another sorry short term plan?

I guarantee Poch and Levy had shaken hands before Timmeh was made caretaker.
We just had to wait.

No, he said if his next job is in Holland he will have failed. And he also said the PL is the ultimate league. But not that if he doesn't go to the PL he will have failed.
Fair enough. I dont agree - I'd think that particularly someone like Potter, as opposed to a Jose/Conte, wants time to build something. Therefore a chairman who fires on a whim is an influence in their decision just like cash available to invest, expectations, control over transfers etc
PSG/Chelsea offer a shot at the CL and plenty of cash as well as high profile roles
Watford - I dont follow close enough
Then dig the manager list out of the drawer in 12 months time and go again...

You can suspect whatever you want.
The fact though, is that none of us have the faintest clue, so guessing around and discussing a point none of us know anything about, is utterly pointless.
