Outside Barcelona he has won nothing. I watched his Spanish team and wasn't impressed with what I saw either.
Tippy tappy is not what we need here.
Another big name that will not get the players he needs to succeed.
As a club we really need to stop this approach. Big name managers do not succeed at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

Gallardo seems much like Poch and also comes from the Marcelo Bielsa fan club. Found the following on Google.
'Gallardo credits Bielsa's coaching methods and Pep Guardiola's possession-oriented, high-pressing football style as his major influences. The fundamentals of Gallardo's River Plate are simple. The team needs to maintain possession, use the counter-press and create numerical overloads in all areas of the pitch'
Not sure how many of our players have the energy, drive and mentality to play his way though. And dare I say it skill and technique.
Interesting candidate none the less.

Only at Tottenham can we keep going through this ….. it seems we have been discussing a new manager for years ………. Oh , hang on , …. We have !
With our ultra football related board ( NOT! , not one of them has a football background) and the time they have taken over the years discussing this , there shouldn’t be a need for any more talk ,
I’m hoping the decision has been made , everyone in the club knows about it , discussions have taken place , the poor Sod has given his thoughts about who he wants or doesn’t want , and we are just waiting to make the call .
If I find out the offices are empty because they have all gone on holiday , I ain’t going to be happy …… I might even be furious .
That seems to work nowadays ……

What is Gattuso doing these days …… did I read , or hear , that Nuno won something , somewhere this season .
I would love to see Daniels contact lists on his phone …..

Agree entirely, I'd be hugely disappointed if we recruited Enrique, in all probability Mourinho and Conte Mk 3. He'd want better, more expensive players from day one, and even if the Club were prepared to finance them, which it won't, they won't be interested in joining us.
We don't need old school, we need new breed, all the fans can see that, why can't the Club.
Some interesting yet inaccurate comments re: Enrique.
He managed Barcelona B for 3years as his 1st job and got them promoted for the first time after 11years in his first season something Guardiola failed to achieve
He has experienced a lack of success (Roma) and fell on his sword despite having money to spend
He had Celta Vigo performing above expectations in the season he managed them.
But everyone remembers he managed Barca. In his first season he got them the title and the CL. The club spent big but also sold big.
In his second season they retained the title despite having a massive net spend of .....€4m.
His final season was not so good (only 2nd)
And when he took over Spain, they had flopped in Brazil (2014), France (2016) and Russia (2018) yet at his first tournament he gets them to the semi-finals where they were the better team v Italy. The team lacks a striker and thats an issue facing any international manager. He is the guy who has the cajones to pick Pedri and Gavi
He doesn't need money to improve a team and because he plays both 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 we might not need to have a huge initial turnover of players

Another 200 and we've got a book.
Levy gave Conte/Paratici £155m last year and whilst there might not be quite that amount for a new manager, Levy will understand money will need to be spent to a) return us to the CL and b) replace senior players like Lloris
Without European football, we will be more attractive as a potential destination if we have a 'name' as the Head Coach. And there will be funds raised as we slowly transition away from players who were favorites of the Italians

Hard to get inspired by him for sure. He is turning 58 soon as well, hardly the younger project manager we thought we would attract.

Unless Monchi does become our DoF then the manager will be his puppet.
The problem is .. his teams are not 'tippy tappy' - his style is described as speedy direct transitions from defence to attack. Hardly tippy tappy
Outside of PSG, Poch won nothing but yet many would be happy if he'd come back

Enrique
For me, does appear a very good aqusition, if we get him.
I don't see him as Conte of Mourinho mark lll,
He plays a different style of football, perhaps more toward what MCity play, he does have relative succuess and kuedos as a player and indeed manager, but without the aparrent ego of our previous two.
I for one would be supportive.

Except the thing that Ennrique is not descrbed as is 'old school'. He has proven to vary his tactics based on the players he has and therefore his teams have lined up 3-4-3, 4-3-3, 3-4-1-2 etc.
When any new manager comes in they always get money. In Enrique's second season he spent a grand total of €4m considering sales and purchases
It is a matter of record he specifically changed his tactics and approach with Spain due to the different calibre of players at his disposal.
It seems we are almost blaming him for managing Barcelona. What should be noted is that he had a better win percentage than Guardiola
Is Guardiola a rubbish coach because he has only managed Barca, Bayern and City?

The media is picking the pace up as him being our preferred choice; I can only think because perhaps his Aussie connection with our new MD of Football, and to be honest I can find no one anywhere that really knows much about his modus operandi other than what's already been pointed to.
If this was his first appointment for our new 'rebuild Ver3 era' I expect that it would go down like a ton of bricks—whilst the Scottish Prem isn't quite as bad as a pub league, apart from a few games a season, it is hardly an intensive challenging league either.
I just can't see him being appointed.
