Of that lot:
- Simply not in the running: Klinsmann, Zola, Clark, di Matteo. No chance whatsoever any of them.
- Won't be asked: Capello, Hoddle. Wrong generation both, and Capello occupied.
- Wouldn't accept: de Boer, Hiddink.
- That leaves Pochettino, Laudrup or Spalletti, or it means leaving it with Sherwood et al till season's end. I doubt Levy would punt on Pochettino after being burned by AVB, and I am not certain Laudrup has proven himself nor that he is emotionally committed enough for the step up to Spurs.
So my hunch: It's Spalletti now or Sherwood till summer.
