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.

you dont sign a high profile manager for stacks of money while searching for someone else though.

With sherwood you can have a more malleable short term manager thats willing to work with what he has and also knows what he has and actually has the players to carry out the philosophy he wants

If you sign mancini and he does indeed destroy morale.....how would that be limited? is mancini going to sign knowing full well that he is out the door as soon as someone better comes along? Is he actually going to coach a NON talent rich squad? is he going to give his all for a team that he cant buy players for? Or is he going to make excuses and ask for 20 new players like he has done in every single club he has managed?

One guy is going to be able to manage with what he has, the other guy is going to have a complete overhaul in style, personnel and playing type

In short...one guy is offered the job and told to do the job cause the job is his. the other guys is doing the best job he can with the resources he has but knows full well he is still on notice

No to mancini

How much is stacks of money though? Probably a fraction of the cost of a youth team player.

I think Timmeh is the least malleable of all managers I've seen - in fact he's the most likely to do the opposite of what he's asked just to be an obstinate dingdong about it.

Mancini is far less likely to destroy morale over the short term than Timmeh, and I see Mancini as a morale destroyer. Timmeh has already fallen out with (depending on opinion) two or three of our squad's most important members and he's barely warmed the seat up.

I'm not suggesting we ask any manager to come in as a temporary measure, merely that as with players we upgrade when available. Seeing as there are better managers available (almost all of them) it would be silly to make do with a worse one - even short term.

Scara's post was exactly what I meant by signing someone for the sake of signing a manager - anyone but TS. Its not the right way to run a football team. You cant have periods of upheavel for the sake of it. Its not liek TS is losing games left right and centre and we are all of a sudden a mid table club. He has continued off from where AVB left the team and whilst no great shakes in the performances department its all about keeping the status quo for now.

Some have alluded to it, if the right Manager was available now then fine bring him in but there isnt. I think FDB is the right man and if he is not available now but available in a years time then lets bide our time.

Those same people who are happy with Mancini were, im sure, the same people criticising his man ****ty performances.

We may not be losing matches (despite Timmeh, not because of) but we'll probably lose Sandro, Lloris and Vertonghen because of him. Ade probably now believes he can get away with whatever he likes so may or may not turn up next season. All the excellent defensive work done has been undone, as has our ability to keep the football and control a game.

That's not to mention the damage done regarding potential investors/sponsors with him acting a **** all over the press.

It's not getting rid for the sake of it, it's getting rid for the sake of our club.

I agree. Coming in and rocking the boat to the point where its virtually capsizing was surely never the remit of any caretaker manager. Not sure any seat warming mission included ostracizing loyal servants and taking the piiss out of record signings in interviews.
 
LVG AND FDB WILL NOT BE MANAGING TOTTENHAM NEXT YEAR
With Tata leaving Barca, the board will offer LVG his old job back - the egotistical dutchman sees Barca as unfinished business considering the way he left the club and is torn between ending that chapter with one more reign at Barca or choosing Man Utd.
Should Barca opt for the younger FDB, LVG will join UTD.
Should LVG go Barca, Utd will keep Giggs in which case Levy who is holding out for LVG will go for Rafa Benitez.

Levy knows knobody else is in for Rafa so can afford to wait for LVG.
Levy's gut is to go for FDB (should LVG reject) but will choose CV over heart on this occasion and will opt for Rafa who will accept.

You heard it here first.

Either way LVG and FDB are not going to manage Spurs

be interesting to see how he gets on.

There are too many bloody abbreviations around on the internet these days.

"RGH would love to join FRT, but KFM came in, and with the backing of OLRM and THA, there was no chance of a FHT or a LATM."

Drives me nuts.

Wow. ITK?

You know the preferred options for Barca, United and ourselves.

I remember a poster at one point claiming to be Barca and Spurs ITK, but 3 clubs. That's impressive...

A lot of managers I would rather have than Mancini that I think would be gettable.

A lot of managers that I think would be available that I would prefer to Mancini.

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.

Pretty much this!

--------------------------

I don't get the idea of "waiting for the right man". We have no way of knowing if "the right man" will be more available a year from now than he is now.

Make a list of realistic targets, rate them after how likely it seems that these managers will succeed at the club. Go for the top one, if that fails go for the next and keep going.
 
Magath I think would do well, seems quite disciplined and has done well in Germany with titles with different clubs but then some flops too.

has there been any talk of him?

Absolutely agreed. Don't want Mancini at all, but the principle of improving if we can stands.
