Managerial Thread Part V - Tottenham in Tatters

[East Coast Bias]

Nuno obviously got results at Wolves, comparatively. But they were horrible to watch. I dreaded when United played them bc the games were so awful. He is not a manager I would want near my club.

 

[Live in the Now]

They played better before Jimenez cracked his head.

 

[Havre]

Absolutely. I don't want Nuno, but when Traore was good and Jimenez healthy they were a much nicer team to watch than the team we saw in much of 20/21.

 

[Havre]

My Turkish is a bit rusty, but Nuno going to Istanbul?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Roberto Martinez is the next most likely option according to betting companies. Not sure if it's because this search has been farcical and I'm getting impatient, but I'd welcome him with open arms.

Wonder if the club might go after Mancini too. He has experience within the league and Paratici would probably rate him.

 

[Havre]

Hopefully those odds are just a lack of imagination. Nuno is for me the lesser evil vs. Martinez.

Mancini is OK, but he just signed a new contract with Italy.

 

[Evilo]

Vieira to Crystal Palace is done.
No idea why they're interested.

 

[Havre]

I feel sorry for Howe. The only manager in the world not being offered a job in the PL.

That Fulham job is now open. Think that's a nice gig and they have the talent to bounce back up. Palace is going to struggle this year with the amount of players that probably walk and Eze out half the season. I think Howe or Wilder to Fulham is a good spot for either.

Galtier still hasn't signed with anyone.

He is now officially at Nice and held his first training session.

Wonderful. A coach that makes teams overachieve is taking over an FM roster with huge young talents.
He has much more to play with than at Lille (in terms of actual roster and money in the bank°. Obviously though, he doesn't have a certain scout to send him great talent year after year this time.

 

[Savant]

Now here is a guy that wouldn’t snub Tottenham. Probably.

 

[Chimaera]

They played better before Jimenez cracked his head.

He also developed some guys as well.
I think he’s underrated, but he’s not exactly a top level guy. I think it’s admitting that Spurs run in the top 4 is done.

 

[Chimaera]

I wouldn’t want Gerrard to jump straight to the LFC job either. Saw what happened to Lampard at Chelsea. Would rather Gerrard cut his teeth mid table and then make sure it’s the right hire. Klopp will be there at least another 2-3 years so there isn’t really a rush there either. Gerrard should stay at Rangers, see if he can get some Champions League experience, and then go for a job in the PL, but again He can pick his spot, no need to go to a mess like the Everton (lol)/Palace/Tottenham openings just because.

He’s proven enough for me. I also don’t think he will pull the big timing it routine like Lampard. It more matters what team he would walk into.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Vieira to Crystal Palace is done.
No idea why they're interested.

he is a guy with great charisma and one of the best players ever. he does have potential to be a good coach even if he sucked at nice. lets hope for palace sake viera lives up to his potential

[Havre]

Hopefully Nuno is in Istanbul by now.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Hey Spurs coutinho speaks Portuguese

 

[Havre]

Coutinho and O. Dembele could work. Couldn't be any worse than Doherty and Reguilon last season.

 

[Blender]

Now here is a guy that wouldn’t snub Tottenham. Probably.

They didn't even underperform and he still gets sacked.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

They didn't even underperform and he still gets sacked.

They didn’t? Lol

 

[Blender]

They didn’t? Lol

They failed to qualify in 2016 and 2018 for the Euros and World Cup respectively, this time have a mediocre squad but swept their group because it was easy, and then went out in the round of 16 to what is a fairly comparable squad.

People overrate their talent because historically they have been better.

Those aren’t the same players. Look at them under Koeman and then under this guy. He played with 5 at the back… terrible manager and he did terribley

I know it's not all the same players, their squad just isn't that good. They lost to a team that top to bottom has comparable talent to them, it's not like losing to the Czechs was a huge upset.

 

[Havre]

I doubt many would have done much better with that Dutch squad. Van Dijk and Beek in top form and it would have been quite different I guess.

Not that I think there is much to suggest de Boer is a fantastic coach. Then again most fantastic coaches do not want to coach national teams.
