I doubt Nagelsmann would consider us anymore.
From a reputation standpoint we are in a very bad place, add to that the actual job offer (money aside) cannot be at all attractive. That is without even beginning to assess the state of the squad and the means to rectify it.
As someone said earlier would a Potter even want to come to Spurs at the moment.
Look at the list who have either we have ruled out, or ruled themselves out or rumoured to have done:
Poch
Nagelsmann
Kompany
Enrique
Slot
Xabi Alonso
Potter (Nice speculation)
Leaves us with:
Rodgers
Ange P
Amorim (cost?)
Frank (cost? can we attract him?)
Who else? Fingers crossed Levy has someone up his sleeve
In other words, they haven't fudging clue who is or isn't in the running
I like Frank as a person. The way he speaks is great
But their football is brick. Long ball, hit the target man. It’s Wimbledon esque
Amorim would be as expensive as slot
Who knows what the actual list is as anyone on here is basing theirs on media speculation who in turn know very little.Look at the list who have either we have ruled out, or ruled themselves out or rumoured to have done:

Why? Where has he done amazing? Brighton? I think it's clear that they have a model that supports the manager and recruit well. Was he that good at Swansea and Sweden? And people question the Dutch league
But what we do know is at the end of the season many managers leave their posts and more will be available. The likes of Galtier and Spaletti for starters are likely, there will be plenty of options....
This manager issue and the media speculation is all getting a bit silly..
Why don't we just put an advert in the London Evening Standard inviting applications for the position of first team manager at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club with a closing date of 9 June.
Hold interviews in the week commencing 19 June and appoint the best candidate by 30 June..... Simple
Yeah, one of the best-paying jobs in world football with a team that is constantly in Europe (maybe not next season) is not attractive...Not sure applications will be flowing in.
Given the issues around DoF vacancy, Munn arrival in however many weeks, expectations of the role, cash available to spend, rebuilt of squad needed etc etc, the role just isnt that attractive
Yeah, one of the best-paying jobs in world football with a team that is constantly in Europe (maybe not next season) is not attractive...
Frank LampardMaybe I should have said 'Not sure applications will be flowing in from credible candidates' in that case to be clear
Can you name 3-5 credible candidates who would be interested?

Slot wouldn’t be allowed to talk to Spurs without Feyenoord’s permission. His agent could’ve been talking to us however (and an agency my Dad did some contract work for previously said we had been speaking to the agent).
There's about 20 different narratives out there, doubt the PR team wrote them allI will offer my take on what happened (n.b. I know as much -or little- as anyone here, thus salt cellar might be needed)...
We sniffed the Slot out via agent/intermediataries & co
We liked what we smelled
We made it clear that we would be interested
We did some reconnaissance on how much Feyenoord would want and received a ballpark figure
We further made it clear that in order for an official approach to happen, we needed Slot to say he wanted 'a new challenge' or some such brick in order to 'bring down any compensation'
Slot received this information and would not do it/started to realize a little more who he was dealing with
Slot secures his own immediate future as anything other than an extension leaves him vulnerable
Our 'PR team' goes into overdrive to rewrite narrative, including the whole 'feel that Slot used them in negotiations' flimflam...
I also have to wonder if we only offered him a two-year contract?
