Genie Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 For me, you have to do a bit more than he has done to land a job at somewhere like Spurs. They should be shopping amoungst more accomplished managers rather than another AVB style punt on a young trendy foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2014 I know what you are saying but they seem to have tried to get one of those and haven't managed it despite the London draw. Personally I think they need a young up and coming manager to build something rather than an old hand who has already achieved at bigger clubs who fancies some time in London. I think he is perfect for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 It depends on his budget and ultimately who he signs, otherwise there's no way any manager gets this current Spurs squad fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2014 You might be right, but then nobody would have said he would get Southampton where he did when he arrived. There is something about him, the odds are against them getting top 4 though I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) If Spurs are serious about getting in to the big time then they should be trawling Europes top managers (in and out of work) and bringing in a top man. London based, loads of cash, on the edge of the CL places, they should be aiming higher imo. If they want someone who had a very good 2013/14 season then they should go for Tony Pulis.

Mr_Dogg Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 There's a lot to be said for having proved himself in the league already. If possible it's also better to get managers (and players) that are taking a step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2014 If they want someone who had a very good 2013/14 season then they should go for Tony Pulis. And that is the point I will bow out I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Their squad is messed up....just look at their midfield options.....Sandro, Dembele, Capoue, Eriksen, Holtby, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Townsend, Chadli, Paulinho, Lamela, Bentaleb that's 12 midfielders for 4/5 positions, way too many even if they are in the Europa league again. Some lovely footballers in there but how many of them would really get in City or Chelsea's team...only Eriksen imo. Pochettino needs to cull up that area a bit. Wouldn't shock me if a few of those end up at Southampton as a form of "compensation" for nicking their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think he'll do a great job at Spurs... Lot of top teams going to be much better than last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The top 7 are set in stone nowadays really just unclear in what finishing order....going to take a real disaster for one of those to fall out especially as Southampton and Newcastle will probably decline from last season. Going to be a long time before we break into that area again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think Everton will be 8-11th next season. They'll probably lose Barkley, Barry and Lukaku from next years squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2014 If they want someone who had a very good 2013/14 season then they should go for Tony Pulis. And that is the point I will bow out I think. I think (hope) the point TV (the other TV) is making is that if Spurs are basing their new appointment purely on who had a good season last year then Pulis would be high on the list. Whereas in reality they should be looking at other factors. I don't think he's saying they should appoint Pulis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Pochettino also plays the style of football, that the Spurs board and fans want. High pressing, attacking football, with quick transition from defence to attack. Edited May 27, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
