We could put this in the job advertisement. The offers will come flooding in! Sorted.We're an upper mid-table team playing in the third tier of European football with a chairman known for interfering in first-team affairs.

Ethnically he wouldn't consider himself British...I would imagine
Yeah, we experience similar problems when getting the better players to sign for us.You could argue that's just symptomatic of Spurs being (close to) a top club though? The higher up you go, the fewer rungs above them in the ladder. Unless he suddenly became a world class manager overnight, he was only ever going to drop down and manage someone in a worse position after his time here?
Things were nowhere near as bad then though. We'd just come 6th which was, all things considered, around expectations despite the dreadful start before AVB got sacked. We were losing to the giants, but very consistently beating everyone else. We didn't have an extremely expensive squad that really should at a minimum be around the top four looking like a bottom-half outfit. We didn't have open mutiny from the stands or our best player floundering after wanting out. And for all his faults, Tactics Tim had at least got the side looking decent going forward and started playing young Harry Kane, rather than two years of ultra-defensive coaching which will take a long time to undo even if Guardiola or Klopp walked through the door tomorrow.I don't disagree but it was only 2 managers ago a bright young thing gave up a good gig to join us and that went well for both parties.
Why?Gerrard, Potter, Parker, or Rodgers.
I want a British manager.
Yeah, I don’t expect an interim manager at this point. Nuno will struggle on until the club has someone else lined up.I imagine if Levy does decide to sack Nuno he will not do so and leave us open to another long manager search. Nuno will only get the bullet when Levy has a replacement lined up to announce the next day. I imagine discussions between Levy, Paratici and Hitchin started last night (if not a few weeks ago after the Arsenal game).
You didn't say you wanted a British citizen born in the UK you said British and he's Irish, Northern Irish yes but Irish.You do know he was born in Northern Ireland which is part of the UK and thus he is considered to be British.
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and the British Nationality Act 1981 generally considers that a person born in the UK will be a British citizen by birth if one of their parents was either a British citizen or settled in the UK at the time of birth
Sadly ship has sailed on Potter and ETH. Would’ve loved to have one of them here to properly start a new cycle…How about Paratici focus on player recruitment and HItchen focuses on manager recruitment. If ITK is to be believed, ETH and Potter were Hitchen's choices.
It isnt a write off - but soon it will be if things dont change. Top four
ha ha , funny typo there. You obviously meant un- realisticIt isnt a write off - but soon it will be if things dont change. Top four and a cup are still realistic possibilities
Potter is proving a lot of us (myself included) wrong and he should have been our top choice in the summer. How depressing is it that the Manager of Brighton doesnt want to manage Tottenham Hotspur.
Conte etc are never going to happen so not even worth imagining what it would be like. My expectations are now bottom of the barrel and I dont see Levy sacking Nuno for a while yet.
Why?
You can point fingers at individual players BUT if you listen to Nuno speak - he is dour has no personality no charisma and this team reflect this on the pitch exactly
The team have fallen into a collective depression - no one looks like they want to be out there - no one looks like they are enjoying their job and hence you get seriously sub standard performances
This is only going to change with a change of manager and it does now make sense of why Nuno left wolves with lots of burnt out chat - the evidence is before our eyes..
Palace have taken 10 games to undo years of Hodgson football.Things were nowhere near as bad then though. We'd just come 6th which was, all things considered, around expectations despite the dreadful start before AVB got sacked. We were losing to the giants, but very consistently beating everyone else. We didn't have an extremely expensive squad that really should at a minimum be around the top four looking like a bottom-half outfit.

The bullshit has started
