Why? When was the last time a successful prem manager moved to one of these clubs? They all hire from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 21 May 2021 Share Posted 21 May 2021 (edited) I think Daniel Levy thinks by getting Brendan he will also get a lot of our backroom staff, plus afew of scouts and knowledge on how Leicester City ticked the last several years. While if he hired a coach from abroad he probably won't bring slot if his own team. Spurs recruitment his been so poor that they have bought crap, with Brendan he can get guys like Ricardo and Tielemans, Barnes etc to come to Spurs.

Vardinhio Posted 21 May 2021 Share Posted 21 May 2021 Spurs face the real prospect of Son wanting out too. I don’t see Brendan taking that job with all the uncertainty over their top players. Kane won’t stay irrespective, he knows the team and squad is far too weak to match his ambitions. I agree with other posters that the only jobs more appealing than us right now are Liverpool, Utd. City, Chelsea. Also if Ekk took over at Arsenal that would be a low risk, high potential project but thankfully no way Stan is selling. Brendan knows how quickly reputation can be dismantled. I honestly think he enjoys it here, safe in the knowledge that most decent LCFC will not turn in to monsters if we end up 6-9th next season.

If Tielemans and Maddison are sold well have a £200 million transfer fund ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 21 May 2021 Share Posted 21 May 2021 (edited) I would very much doubt if Spurs have much money at all after the expense of the stadium. I'm sure Rodgers would be less than pleased if they sold Kane to provide him with some. The only job that would be well worth considering for Spanish speaking Rodgers is a chance at Barcelona.

Or NOT go into our shell and defend with a negative substitution or tactical change to invite pressure from 70th minute even though we may have been dominating prior to that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your optimism but I don’t think we’re getting £200m for madders and youri. If Youri refuses to sign a new contract which at present is hanging in the air I think clubs like Liverpool will be looking at getting him fo £65m-£80m, madders would go for less but we have him on a longer contract so we have more say in what he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted earlier similarly. Where does he think he personally goes with us now? He has delivered a FA cup. His ego might see Spurs as a low risk challenge bearing in mind how poor their recent record is and a chance to boost his own standing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post David Hankey Posted 21 May 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 May 2021 Unbelievable twaddle on here. We have enough hogwash from the media linking Brendan with vacancies not only up and down the land but abroad as well. What makes anyone think he is leaving us? I appreciate that one fine sunny day that will happen but why spend all this time on pure fiction? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mozartfox Posted 21 May 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 May 2021 Seeing Rogers and Top last Saturday, I really cannot see how a move to Spuds is on the cards. Spuds are a car crash. TalkSport keep going on about them being a big Club and Stadium being fantastic (which it is), but they need a massive re-build and have huge Debts. Levy is a +++t . Nice Stadium shame about everything else. Its the big 6 Media machine trying to squat little old Leicester off the landscape. Susan should just tell Levy tomorrow to Fuchs off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it is a massive risk, if he takes them top 6 and gets the push, everyone will say it was a huge task at Spurs, but if he gets them top 4 again and wins a cup they’ll say what an incredible job he’s done.
