One name I haven't seen mentioned who is a distinct possibility? Mancini. With Baldini keeping his job, I'd say it's possible...
 
Large crowds are terrible indicators of opinion and a company involved with football clubs should know that better than anyone. Apart from the fact that people act like sheep in crowds, the noisy tend to drown out the thoughtful.

The club will be monitoring Twitter, Facebook and forums not just to get a clearer opinion but also that of their more affluent fans.

You telling me that when a team gets booed off the pitch consistently and a considedrable part of the crowd is chanting for the manager to get the sack the chairman pays less attention to that than the internet? I disagree, and pointless debating as neither of us can prove it. Except many instances where fans have demonstrated against a manager and the chairman has bowed to pressure. But I'm sure it was one final log onto Twitter that sealed the deal....

He's been mentioned and laughed at in this thread earlier. Master at making teams perform as less than the sum of their parts, not to mention his constant whining about not getting enough money to spend, which says it all considering he's been at clubs massively outspending everyone else.

If you don't believe that social media is a major part of any serious company's strategy then your understanding of how businesses work is seriously flawed.

The unfortunate side effect of winning despite Timmeh is that nobody boos their team off after a win. Our love of Spurs outweighs our hatred of Timmeh so we cheer the win, even though we know it could be to the detriment of the club's longer-term success.

No I acknowledged in your first post on the subject that clubs do look at social media and you are completely correct but still think chairman is more likely to act when signicant portions of the ground are voicing their displeasure. If Spurs winning was despite of Tim, then your last point is also correct....

As Benitez was when he joined a successful Inter side and told the board that he needed a good number of new signings.

In fact, he was sacked apparently due to his transfer demands....

That was after a long period of massive spending on aging players under Mancini and Mourinho and with FFP looming on the horizon.

Mourinho knows when to jump ship. Inter were destined to suffer a drop in their performances.
 
Makes you laugh when you look at it. At Man UTD LVG gets a massive warchest and can pay the top players astronomical wages to ensure they reach at least top four next season. At Spurs he would get a modest sized amount and have to develop young players into the futures stars. How on earth can we ever hope to compete with that?

We need a couple of years off the radar with a decent coach and players willing to put in the time, not to mention the club standing firm and not selling players

I know football is matter of opinions but I honestly am left flabbergasted at such a comment. If we were in with a chance of a manager with a profound knowledge of the Premier League, who is acknowledged winner and has won scores of cups in his career including Champions League, Europa League, World Club cup, Spanish League, FA Cups etc, was an acknowledged tactician and still had plenty of years in front of him, we would be wetting ourselves.

But because it's Benitez, we turn our noses at it!
 
I'm not turning my nose up at Benitez, trust me. All I'm bringing to the discussion is all the facts. People were dismissive of other managers as 'they spend too much/want too many new players' and yet were seeming to ignore Benitez's track record.

I think Benitez would be an excellent appointment but why hide cards when having a discussion about all the options?

Its irrelevant where he would or wouldn't be a good appointment - he wouldn't come to us
 
Nope

not even close.

but if we sign mancini...then thats the guy we signed.

if we keep sherwood then we keep continuity and chemistry WHILE still searching.../ waiting for the right guy

Why not sign Mancini while searching? His compensation would be minimal in terms of football finances and the damage he could do to morale would be comparatively limited.
