If it happens it happens.
With our squad and the outlay behind the whole project we'll have incredibly high profile managers interested to take us on.
It may be soon. May be end of season maybe some time after that. But when it does happen we know we wont be looking at a paul lambert. |  |

It would be another odd move from Spurs.
Both he and Frank have coached mid-table prem teams operating in a very defined structure and with players who have been developed over a period of time, with no instant success. Also, neither has won anything (although signficantly over achieved) and has been given time in relatively low-pressure environments.
Spurs seem to want overnight success, have expectations beyond their realistic situation, and a lot of their fans want a manager who has previously won something. |  | | |

Maybe we can put a cheeky offer in for Lucas Bergwall |  |

I think Brighton would be more amenable to McK than Palace, and more likely than Spurs or ManUtd, but there are dominos to fall before it's even an issue. |  | | |

Precisely.
I would be delighted if after the manager merry-go-round we ended up with Thomas Frank. |  | | |

Clubs need to learn - stop taking managers from Brighton and Brentford. They succeed there because of the background setup, largely. |  |

There's a part of me that's very interested to see it happen.
We're clearly trying to go down the Brighton/Brentford route and, if so, the ability to replace KMc with another manager who simply slots into the bigger jigsaw is going to be an integral part. | |

Exactly, the fact that Brentford have seemingly suffered no ill effects from losing their manager should make those running clubs like Tottenham realise that having a well understood structure is more important than just taking the next fashionable manager off the rank. |  | | |

I wonder if that's always destined to be true. Thriving within such a set-up seems to me to make any Frank-like candidate harder to assess, but ultimately, stringing good results together has to be credited to the man who puts them on the pitch each week.
Certainly there must be, say, at Brentford, a mutual thing going on whereby the board can calmly assess someone they have been keeping a domestic eye on, but by the same token, Andrews will have known exactly the inner workings and the reasoned processes. Conversely, at a big club, playing out entitled fans opinions in the national media before, during and straightaway after an appointment moves the dial to a much more strained place as soon as the first underwhelming forty five minutes is witnessed. | |

All three of Keane, Lambert and Jewell were pretty rational choices (on paper) at the time. They had all won promotion from the Division as managers.
Paul Hurst was the "take a gamble on a hot young manager from the League below" candidate.
Paul Cook was the "go for somebody relatively experienced with good inter-personal skills to clear up the desolation left by the cumulative effect of the above" option.
There was fairly sound logic to those appointments, who now vie for the Champions League places in the League table of Town's worst ever managers.
It's not an exact science, as Thomas Frank at Spurs is proving, as have just about every manager at United since Fergie.
The thought of McKenna being poached should induce some anxiety in an Ipswich fan, even if we may be more confident in the competence of the structures at the Club now. | | | |

Is that really not feasible? Alonso will want to get back to a decent club although he may wait for Liverpool job if Slot continues to oversee Liverpool's decline. |  |

'Decent club' is where that falls down. Spurs are a rotten club. |  |

Exactly, and Brighton have made several changes, and nothing felt either. Brentford is particularly interesting given Keith Andrews has basically no managerial experience, and was turned down by MK Dons a month or so before getting that job! | |

We're getting to the point where certain clubs might as well just have a guest manager for each game, like the hosts on Have I Got News for You!!! |  | | |

If Town went down that route, who would be in line to be the internal candidate? I imagine that McKenna would take Pert and all of his inner circle with him, so would it be someone along the lines of Sone Aluko or similar? | |

I don't personally know anything about the depth, or otherwise, of Andrews's involvement pre Frank's departure, but it seems to me that McKenna holds a decisive hand in a way that far surpasses the "coach" moniker. The fact that no close names spring to mind might seem to confirm that. If that's right, Ashton and the owners would almost certainly have some names under constant review, knowing, as they must, that McK's departure cannot be so far off whether we go up or we don't. In today's banker-takes-all climate, I personally don't see him staying on for a long-term consolidation in the manner of SBR . | |
