What is that list even supposed to represent? With Allegri, Nagelsmann and Flick there was no point in even trying to sign them. With ten Hag, Rodgers and Poch we don't even know whether they were theoretically available.
They sacked Mourinho around mid April, so whether they were available or not they were linked or pursued them before we knew their circumstances were about to change. They were ready for weeks to sack Mourinho and get Nagelsmann before he announced he was going to Bayern, same with Flick before Germany job sprung up, and Aleggri learning English, would be open to managing in Premier league etc but was really holding out for Real or Juve. Then they turned to Ten Hag, but he signed a new deal with Ajax.. then the papers said Levy would try a second time for Rodgers by hoping Spurs would kill Leciester's CL chances on the final day and that would be enough for Rodgers to jump ship, but he remained loyal. Then there's the Poch in limbo episode at PSG, all stories of him wanting out already but the president got him to stay. This is all before the drama with Conte, Fonseca, Gattuso..
It has to be one of the biggest botched Managerial processes there's ever been.
Maybe they could do it before the Czech Republic game?They've taken this long already, might as well wait a few weeks and then do the nation a favour by going for Southgate
Nuno maybe a decent shout ….likeable and could work with a limited budget.
He's going to need multiple pages to fit every candidate.Waiting for the David Squires comic on this.
Why can't they go for that bloke who manages River Plate, or Howe, or any aspiring manager with attacking style for whom Spurs would be a promotion?
Gallardo already said that he was only available in January. He was one of Lyon's targets.
