The more I read the more I like Slot, I assume he speaks good English as well (not sure if Gallardo does). I think his style and tactics would work quite well here and 433 or 4231 would work with our squad.

I posted an interview with him. Comes across very well. Excellent english, better than jols.

The caveat is that for Slot to work out with Spurs he will need to get rid of some players and surround himself with younger talent. This might also mean Kane leaving, but I am fine with that, if he can replicate what he has done with Feyenoord and did previously with AZ. And it's going to take at least a couple of years, even though he did get AZ and Feyenoord playing at a high level fairly quickly.

Why would he need to get rid of players? Feyenoord sold their best players in the summer (including their top goalscorer) and replaced them with cheaper alternatives to balance the books. Was that his choice?

Yet still they are doing fantastic this season. Still in the cup (they play ajax tonight if anyone is interested), still in europe, top of the league.

Chelsea are welcome to Enrique - big risk to appoint a manager who has only had success at one club, especially one like Barca which had it's long established way of playing and a core of world class players who bled for the club.

But he is used to playing without a striker …

It's not about us not being able to afford keeping players, it's just that I think he will work better with younger, less established players. He strikes me as someone who could develop a Scarlett or a Devine, for example. Doesn't mean we'll rely on that only. We should also go out and get up and coming players. But they should have the hunger, in addition to the talent.

He might well do. I wouldn't be upset if he did. But he seems to be able to improve what he's given and get them playing in his style very quickly.

I'd be happy with him, galardo, de zerbi or even frank (i didn't watch much but when brentford got promoted they were meant to have played some nice football). Poch is always an option. Although he i think would need to replace kane at least for the press.

Whoever we get we'll need a creative player in the middle though.

The thing about Frank is that it is hard to tell whether it's the manager or the entire football operation of Brentford that is more responsible for its results. From what I have read, and given the fact that Frank didn't exactly have any significant accomplishment prior to joining Brentford, my guess is the latter.

The football is fudging awful too
But he is a likeable school teacher

That's a rational approach.

However what about the matter of his profile? I'm sure no one on here bar a few devotees had ever heard of him till 2-3 days ago. Isn't the public reaction going to be 'what, another Christian Gross'? Especially after we got burnt recently on Santo too, getting in someone who at a basic level just wasn't big enough for the club.

All have pluses and minuses, but I'd put him below Poch, Gallardo and De Zerbi because of that he has only done it with a small club in a small league element.

So he's behind Gallardo who was also relatively unknown a while back and doesn't speak English. Assuming he wins the league I don't think anyone will consider him another Gross, more likely to make comparisons to Ten Hag.

But he has done more in Europe than those managers. Well will have by the end of the season

Gallardo played in America. He speaks Spanish, English and French, which covers the first language of our entire squad bar about Son and Hojbjerg.

And he's not relatively unknown - he's the biggest name contemporary manager in all of South America. He's won the Copa Libertadores (the CL equivalent) twice.

Apparently he doesn’t speak English very well
And it’s a very substandard CL equivalent
No doubt he has done great things there but this one would be bonkers
And he wants £10m a year ….
