New Spurs manager?

[taimedowne]

No but you can bet he will be. The F.A wouldn't admit they were talking to him unless they were pretty sure of getting him. I'm not sure what to make of it. I have been prepared for Harry to go and was thinking about replacements and no CL etc. Now we have Harry probably staying and a slim chance of CL again. I think I need a lie down.

All aboard the THFC rollercoaster, I am still not happy at all with how Arry has been over the last few months in the media ref England as this has effected our performance, get us into the CL and all will be forgotten!

Harrys shown his true colours again sorry he's got to go Bring in Cruyff or Van Baston or BOTH

Well it seams to me that the players are the ones who need to perform in last 3 games. Not much HR can do really now. And we have to hope Chelski fail in Munich.

I think Cruyff already has two advisory roles. One for Ajax and the other for a Mexican outfit(?). And I do not think a man of his temperament will ever suffer the English press. He's been mentioned as a possibility over the years for Spurs but I cannot see it happening. I think his missus wears the trousers and the trousers are staying in Barcelona!!

Why are we even considering another manager 'Arry hasn't got the England managers job and all the fuss over him taking it seems to of been an unwanted distraction.
 
The question is can 'Arry now wrestle the unrest in the ranks and bring the good ship Spurs back on course, whilst doing this he needs to win our last 3 games and pray to the Lord that the West London branch of the Russian Mafia fail to pull off a miracle in the Champions League !!!!
 
The win over Blackburn should of started to heal a few minor cracks and another against Bolton should also help, but the main problem will be to persuade Modric, Bale and Van der Vaart that their futures lie in North London with Spurs and 'Arry of course. I think that Bale and Van der Vaart may well fall back in line without too much effort but Modric worries me.
 
In theory 'Arry should now be like getting a new manager as I'm sure he will pour his heart and soul into Spurs now to prove to the FA that they were wrong to appoint Hodgson, at least I hope he will.
 
Finally I have said before when the subject of replacing 'Arry comes along we need to consider a few things like who is actually available to replace him and would they want to come, are they any better than 'Arry, and would they be prepared to take the job for the money and restrictions in our transfer policies !!!
One thing we should all bear in mind is that if you were being tipped to take the top job in your profession, the speculation and rumours would affect your performance to some extent even if you tried your hardest to ignore them. It would also probably affect those directly around you because they would want to know who was replacing you and if you were going to get the position etc etc etc ...
 
At the end of the day I think that 'Arry probably has more to give us and with Levy's backing and a couple of signings who knows. Plus we know there will be no FA or England manager distractions to temp 'Arry next season..... let's get behind him and show him some support !!

Nice post UGS  definately a very sensible view point!!! We can still finish 3rd, it is possible and if we win all our last 3 games its very much on we just need the gooners to stuff up!!!

All us supporters will get behind the team, just hope all the players and Arry are right up for it and want it!!!

Good points Ugs. Actually I think its done us a huge favour thet Harry didn't get the England job, despite the fact I was convinced he would. Looking back it has obviously been a big distraction to him, and especially the players. Fingers crossed we beat Fulham and get 4th at worst. Then hopefully Chelski will find Bayern a game too far. That will leave Harry with a big big point to prove as you rightly say. A new improved contract from Levy, plus bring in the players we really need, which will need a big rise in the wages we pay for sure.

All a bit of an anticlimax though really!  Unless we make 3rd today of course!

Well you're right, we should have pi**ed 3rd place. There you go, lets hope Levy and Harry get it together in the transfer window whether or not Chelsea pip us.

Nothing like reverting to a  previous post especially when it
becomes valid.


Plenty to talk about now with Moyes, Martinez being talked about
by the media.
But how about this  ..... Andre Villas Boas spotted at Heathrow....
Just visiting friends or .....

Don't want any of them Moyes would bore us to death and the other options are out of work for a reason they are all crap.
 
Benitez, Cappello, AVB none of them are of the required standard for THFC !!!
 
Billic would of done but apparently he's signed for Locomotiv Moscow.
 
In my book that only leaves one option ..... Guardiola !!!
 
Mr Levy get your finger out and go get him because thats about the only way you can make amends for the bollocks up you have just made !!!!

Well f**k me sideways I didnt see this coming at all, Arry has turned us around, yes stuffed it last season but still got us 4th.  He has the players respect and loyalty this is going to bite us in the arse so many ways what the f**k is Levy thinking?

We need a manager that will make the likes of Modders, VDV, Bale and our transfer targets take notice and say yeah they mean business!!

Options and they wont be cheap its got to be either Gus Hiddink or Guardolia....... err thats about it any others and we can kiss our stars and targets goodbye!

What the f**k was Levy thinking??
