Morrientes/Rivaldo/Eto/GuardiolaI may be wrong, but all this talk of Van Gaal and Ancelotti seems to be 'pie-in-the-sky' wishful thinking...... seriously, if you were them, would you come to Spurs? We may think we are the best club in the world, but if we took a reality check, we are not top notch. If we were, Modric/Sheringham/Bale/Carrick/Berbatov (the list is endless) would have stayed and we could then consider ourselves real heavyweight contenders. Think we are more likely to get Moyes (deja vu?) or Laudrup or even stick with Timmie. As I said, I may be wrong.......

It wasn't pie in the sky purely because we were the one PL club at the top end of the table who seemingly may have a vacancy this year and it fit in with LvG's declarations of wanting to come to England. What it looked like was a rare ray of sunlight where the stars were finally aligning for us to pull off a coup.I may be wrong, but all this talk of Van Gaal and Ancelotti seems to be 'pie-in-the-sky' wishful thinking...... seriously, if you were them, would you come to Spurs?

Well he said he wanted to come to the Prem. I really felt it would have been possible if ManU had held onto Moyes and no other big clubs in the Prem sacked their managers.Guys - did anyone genuinely think we could land a name like him?
That's the equivalent of signing one of Real Madrid's or Bayern's best players
Money follows money, I'm afraid
I had Portuguese Preggo chicken with potato wedges for dinner last night. It was exquisite.Well he said he wanted to come to the Prem. I really felt it would have been possible if ManU had held onto Moyes and no other big clubs in the Prem sacked their managers.
I think a lot depends on how Giggs does.. If they win their remaining matches with style then I think he has a good chance of getting the job.
The fans seem to want him, they could also mould him, where as a few egos at the club would feel threatened by someone as strong as LVG.
Give a shit about last night. Its all about Tonight!!I had Portuguese Preggo chicken with potato wedges for dinner last night. It was exquisite.
Probably do a light chicken salad tonight, sprinkle a few nuts for extra biteGive a shit about last night. Its all about Tonight!!
Looks like our man's headed to United :llorisserious: I wonder who's on Levy's list, aside from the possibility of him keeping Tim.
No way, not at all IMO.
Giggs to be on the coaching staff to be groomed for a later date? Absolutely, I buy that - and it gives the new manager an 'in' with the fans as well.
Giggs to take over one of the top 5 clubs in the world as his first ever role, having only just this season become a player-coach? Never, IMO.
Surely Naar means no? :llorisserious:
There could well be some truth in that.. It will come down to who the Window fitters take advice from.
I seriously don't think Fergie would want someone so powerful as LVG he knows that would be the end of his association with the team.
LVG would do it his way and have his own advisory team.
