Tottenham have held talks with Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte about their managerial vacancy. Discussions with the Premier League-winning former Chelsea manager come after the 51-year-old Italian guided Inter to their first league title in 11 years. (Corriere dello Sport, via Express)

No-one with experience is going to want a job being told you're selling your two best players, and looking to replace them with a couple of free transfers.

why would he leave the Italian Champions who have Champions League football?

I'm not so sure n88uk. First I have to ask... two best players?
Most know Kane only has a few years left and he's injury prone too. If Utd are pushing £90m (which will rise) then that alone will give the new manager something to play with. An experienced manager could possibly get the lot and perhaps a few bob more which, if true, could be very tempting. If Levy offers little or none of it then you're right and no experienced manager would look twice. |

Bump.
For me a man who would admirably suit Levy's penny-pinching ways exactly is the man who is currently the longest-serving manager in the EPL. He has consistently bought cheaply and wisely and operated to a strict budget. He has successfully navigated many very dry periods of losses and defeats so knows how to keep his nerve and survive with his team in the top league. He is eight years and 200+ games experienced in the EPL and needs a fresh challenge. He is of course Sean Dyche. However, he as as much chance of getting the gig as Ryan Giggs has of becoming chair of the Women's Institute. |

HARD NO.

By:
LoyalHoncho, This is the Tottenham manager we're talking about. Not the west ham or Fulham market. Sean (fricking) Dyche...
Sensible suggestions only please.. |
|
By:
To be fair, it isn't the worst suggestion ever; I mean, who are we anyway? ...but still a no from me too.
|
|
By:
Dyche wont get the job because of the brand of football, Tottenham wont get a top name because they've never had a top name in their prime and they have no Champions League football, top managers demand money to spend and a big wage, I think Mourinho just went there to rip them off.
|
|
By:
He fits the job description. Burnley have won just as much as Spurs during his tenure. There are many, many worse, and vastly over-expensive options out there. If Kane does go, and/or worse, Son Heung Min goes you'll need someone with a proven record of getting on with the job.
Spurs have achieved nothing with recruiting fancy managers so lower your sights and give the guy a shot. You could all be very pleasantly surprised. Look at it another way - do you fancy taking on a Lampard or an Arteta with absolutely no experience? Perfectly serious suggestion. |
|
By:
Would definitely take Potter over Dyche. I couldn't handle Dyche's brand of football at Spurs.
|
|
By:
reality is style of football dictates what sort of manager the top clubs go for, Arsenal thought they were getting a cheaper version of Pep, but with Dyche they know exactly what they're getting, someone made the points the other day about Rodgers, get a top job at Liverpool because of the style of play at Swansea, Levy just wouldn't appoint him. Mourinho came with bucket loads of trophies but he wont be repeating that mistake.
|
|
By:
The problem is, we had Jol, who steadied the ship a bit; I have a huge respect for him. Redknapp pushed us on a little further and then Poch went even further than that. Levy thought he could seal the deal with Mourinho, but that failed miserably... where next? One step back to take two steps forward might well be the better option.
|
|
By:
huge list of names on the BF market, some really obscure ones. can't recall seeing a manager market like that before.

In that case, look no further than Mr Tim Sherwood ![]() |
|
By:
managers play the brand of football that they have to, to survive. Take him out of that "survival" environment and you would see a different approach. It is the material available that dictates how a manager operates. I'm sure he'd manage the change. Whatever I believe he would be worth the risk. Bill Nicholson came from Northfleet and hadn't even as much as trained a top flight player!

Different century LH

By:
The century is irrelevant.
|
|
By:
which manager has changed their brand of football when given the job, Moyes didn't at United, all Dyche knows is survival football, he'd have to convince Levy he'd start playing champagne football which he probably wouldn't. I'd hire him if he agreed to play more expansively but that's a big risk to take for Levy, he's sunder enough pressure.
|
|
By:
Once again scanda I bow to your superior knowledge.
|
|
By:
I think its a pointless debate anyway. Levy won't be selecting Dyche.
|
|
By:
If anyone of that nature, it'll be Potter. I'm still holding out for the Rizla-thin chance we can nick Bielsa
|
|
By:
You may well be right aspro but not even interviewing a man with eight years experience of managing in the greatest league in the world is simply stupid.
|
|
By:
Perhaps. If Burnley had released a few more funds to give him a chance to compete then he may have shown he has more to offer. I feel for him there.
|
|
By:
it's not about knowledge it's just an opinion, how is Levy suppose to sell Dyche to the Tottenham fans, he's already under huge pressure, as said I would hire him if he agreed to play more expansively, this is where Levy earns his money, big decision.
|
|
By:
Tough this market. Levy has basically appointed every type of manager...
Club legend- Hoddle Done well with smaller clubs - Redknapp/Pochettino Sacked by 'elite' clubs - AVB/Mourinho Highly regarded but never worked in England - Santini/Ramos Promted from caretaker- Jol/Sherwood And then there was the time he went 10 months without appointing anyone..... |

It's going to be Potter.. Came to me in a flash of enlightenment and I'm on...
