00:00What sort of approach would you as Spurs fans like to see in terms of the next manager if

00:06Andres to go?

00:07Obviously you say there he's probably very likely he's not going to be in the dugout

00:11at least in August starting the new season because they've had the sort of approach of

00:16a young manager, they've had the approach of a world-class proven European manager as

00:22well.

00:23So where do they go next if it was an ideal situation?

00:25We've mentioned before obviously there's not many available names on the manager market

00:29at the moment, but if there was an ideal world who would you like to see in the Spurs

00:34dugout?

00:35Well, I mean, I think for Spurs, I mean, Pocicoglou, the football is the type of football we want

00:41to play.

00:42You know, I just think instead of it being 100 mile an hour, you know, we maybe need

00:45to just ratchet it down to 90 mile an hour, you know, have a little bit more pragmatism,

00:49learn from mistakes, stop making the same mistakes time and time again.

00:53You know, the Bournemouth game was a classic example, one of the best pressing teams in

00:57the league.

00:58And we just don't change.

00:59None of the players take responsibility and just try and go long, beat the press for five

01:02minutes.

01:03So we, you know, more adaptability, I think is what we need.

01:07You know, the blueprints there for the good football is a nucleus of really, really talented

01:11young players.

01:12You look at the likes of Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, you know, he's going to be an absolute

01:16class act.

01:17Jed Spence, Sudo, Ivan De Ven, you know, Dom Solanke.

01:22There's a nucleus there of a really, really good side.

01:26And if you're looking at, you know, potential replacements, Arreola, you've got to look

01:30at him.

01:31I think at Bournemouth, he's done an absolutely fantastic job.

01:33Very limited budget.

01:34But the way they play, again, very Tottenham-esque, but with a little bit more control.

01:40Thomas Frank, you know, a lot of people highly rate Thomas Frank within football.

01:44I know Johan Lange is a big fan of him.

01:47So maybe we go down the Thomas Frank route.

01:49Is it time for him to have a crack at a so-called bigger club?

01:52No disrespect to Brentford.

01:55And then do we rekindle the love affair with Mischio Pochettino?

01:58You know, he's been flirting again with Spurs to come back.

02:01I mean, you know, if you think back two or three years, Champions League final, you know,

02:06the way he had us playing on such a few-string budget, you know, not signing a single player

02:10for one summer.

02:11We were still banging on the door for the top four.

02:13We came so close to winning the league a couple of times.

02:17And then the failures, you know, off the pitch that were well-documented.

02:20We didn't build again and we didn't back the manager.

02:23Do you go back, you know, almost like a bad girlfriend?

02:27I guess I'm not sure.

02:29The Chelsea sort of appointment there with Pochettino did sort of quell it for me a little bit.

02:35But then again, you know, is this Daniel Levy's last roll of the dice in terms of his ownership, his tenure?

02:40Does he do that to get the fans back on side?

02:42I know a lot of fans would love Pochettino back in the dugout.

02:45Maybe, you know, with the nucleus of the young team that we have, maybe he's the perfect appointment.

02:51But, you know, whether he'd leave America, I'm not so sure.

02:55I think he's supposed to put the money up, you know, I do think he probably would.

02:59But obviously we wait and see with bated breath.

03:02I mean, you know, we all want Ansh to succeed as a fan base.

03:06But as I say, whether he will, he's been given a hell of a lot of time.

03:09Now he's in his second season and, you know, he's been given longer than a lot of the Spurs managers have had in the past.

03:15And the results have been much worse.

03:17So, you know, maybe the writing's on the wall, who knows?

03:20But let's hope we get over the line against Arsenal first and we've got something to keep fighting for for the rest of the season.
