I seem to remember a very highly rated Spaniard coming here six years ago. How did that work out?

Could have been worse.

I don't think he is the best manager around but I could quite like Benitez if he were to become available. Knows the league, wins trophies. Plays reasonably decent football and has good organisation. Also multi lingual so would be good for Soldado and Lamela. Experienced but not to so old that he couldn't build something and finally comfortable working with a DOF.
I rate spalletti being the best coach for spurs at this point in time from the list. Spalletti's teams have played attractive football so yeah, he would be the pick from those options in my opinion.
Benitez isnt a bad shout but a)he prob wouldnt want to come after settling in italy & napoli are better than us b)he would be mega expensive to buy out of his contract c) I dont think his style 2dm will endear him to our faithful.
I did say if he were to become available. He's doing quite well there but is already 8 points of the lead. Don't forget need top 4 for CL in Italy now as Germany took their fourth spot. Outside chance he could be available in the summer - they are fairly free with their sackings in Italy.
I wouldn't be so sure he's be that expensive to buy out - Napoli aren't loaded. We paid £5m for Harry and I'd guess he would be cheaper than that.
As for the football his teams aren't that dull - that Liverpool team that almost won the league were awesome. I remember them destroying Real at Anfield with some of the best football I'd seen in years.

Spalletti is a bit of a pragmatist. His Zenit team are a largely counter attacking 433 team. He played 460 at Roma because of his lack of strikers.
Spalletti's favoured formation is the 4–2–3–1 system, where he uses 4 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders, 2 wingers (both sides of the 3), 1 attacking midfielder, and 1 striker
Zenit have appeared disjointed in recent weeks. There is a lack of organisation or a game plan – what plan they have seems to centre around giving the ball to Hulk and seeing what the Brazil forward can conjure. Incidentally, the 27-year-old, with 23 attempts, had more shots on target during the group phase than any other player, perhaps hinting at an overreliance on the powerful No7.
yeah you did say that sorry........
well who knows............at this point I really dont know anymore........what other managers do you think we should consider other than Rafa??
Well there aren't many who are available so we'll likely need to target a smaller club and pay them off. Also a lot of them seem to have just joined clubs.
I would have quite liked van Marwijk but just checked and he signed for Hamburg in September.
Potentially could steal Berndt Schuster from Malaga as they have no money now, he plays decent attacking football.
Would never happen but I loved the Argies at 06 WC - Pekerman would be cool.
Other options to consider I guess:
Vítor Pereira - Surely gettable unless he wants a cushty life in Saudi
Montella - May not want to leave Italy - maybe his spell at Fulham gave him a thirst for over here
Cocu - Built up a lot of experience as a coach
Slaven Bilic - Died off a bit but did well for Croatia
Paulo Bento - Probably not till after WC
Unai Emery - Only just joined Seville
So there are options available, how viable they all are I don't know. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me can give more detailed analysis on some of these options.
Thats no different to what has generally been reported for the last 24 hours.
I am really concerned about our options currently. I would hope that before getting rid of AVB some preliminary enquires were put out especially if it is true that the club had started to lose faith in him after the Emirates Marketing Project result. I can't believe that they have taken the action they have now only to be willing to write off the rest of the year under the potential leadership of an interim manager especially given the fact we are still, despite the **** results, in a reasonable position in the league and could with a decent run still be in with a shout of the champions league places.
Heres hoping for an appointment after the Southampton game. I won't hold my breath though.
some interesting one's there I hadn't considered.....
bilic could be cool and cheese off the spammers..
