NEXT TOTTENHAM MANAGER

Scroll to the bottom of the market, and they have added....

'Emma Hayes MBE' 

Emma Hayes MBE

70 days and counting.

She would probably turn them down too

Which one of you pizz takers has added Emma

They only add names in a mature market such as this if somebody has requested it so surely it has to be a p1ss-take. Who's next, Matt Hancock?

Nice green on her, lol

Chances of laying it off... Zero

Slaven Bilic next manager

Actually I have no balance
on her at all, how odd

Is she really there?

When they add someone you have to log out and back in for it to display.

Deschamps price to tumble???

Wouldn't be surprised.

I wouldn't want him if I was a Spurs fan.

Maybe PSG would like him, free up Poch

Cheers, it's there now!

Had to chuckle at Barry Fry's inclusion too

It all makes sense now, Tober decides to get involved in a market not knowing the real history of disappointment when it comes to selecting managers for THFC. You deserve to lose it all. COYS.

Patrick Vieira  signing for Palace.

Of all the ridiculous appointments in premier league history... How can they gamble with their premier league survival?

Woodgate leaving Bournemouth too

Highly doubt it, also wouldn't touch him at Spurs. Doesn't seem a great manager to me, most international managers aren't and flop at club management.

Löw at Wembley today

Has anyone kept track just how many different favourites there have been btw?

Nuno, Poch, Martinez, Conte and Fonseca have all been odds on anyway. Ten Hag matched at evens. Fonseca 1.02, Conte 1.1

It would now seem likely that one of the International Managers is now the preferred candidate for Daniel.

At the time of writing :

Martinez - 4.1
Mancini - 9
Enrique - 44
Deschamps (Out) - 34
Southgate - 44
Low - 48

Of the above, only Martinez or Enrique would be even partially acceptable to me. There is only one other scenario, if Poch stirred up a real stink as we speak, PSG might say enough is enough and go for Deschamp, and the dominos would then start to fall.

I've had one small bet on the Saints manager and not even that bizzare result would surprise me, after this complete, and total, circus.

I see someone tried to have £2 @1000 on Scott Parker, but submitted £1,000 @2

I've done stuff like that a few times, including on this market, but never to that extreme

People just worn out with this crap I guess and can't think straight

Half a million(ish) £ traded on each little handicap at Brighton this afternoon.. Same as this market..

Not that it's of any relevance or interest.. Just trying to keep it together    0-0 ht

Nuno odds on again!!

I'm gonna call BS! on Nuno...

Please just appoint Nuno and end this.

Finally someone goes odds on and I'm green on them.

Looks like a couple of people had to have 2 quid on Emma Hayes MBE to free up money

Nuno ffs.  My least favourite candidate for the job. Levy you're a ****g joke.

Don't worry sofa, I'll back him and the threat will be over

Thanks for taking one for the team Aspro.

Tobe - there used to be an old guy frequented my local laddies of the time who bet f/c's and used to shout "stop the race" if they led up the back straight.  Your comment about Nuno reminded me of him.

Hard to say the price is far out really though England a bad result for me.

May set up a GoFund me page soon.

Ok, I'm starting to think that Nuno wouldn't be the worst appointment.  He did well at Wolves and they did play good football (besides last season where they lost some players) and regularly troubled the big sides. Spurs just need to appoint someone/anyone asap so they can prepare for pre-season, transfers etc. Welcome to Spurs, Sir. Nuno.

I admire Levy.  He will appoint the best man available.  Much better to wait and get it right, than make a panic signing.  I'm sure there is a staff ready to kick training off as and when it is required.  Time will tell but one thing is for sure - he will not be browbeaten into anything. 

Looking like nuno, again!

Fabio Paratici is in town to seal the deal

God help us-we'll end up with Doherty with half a Portuguese team and mid table mediocrity.
I was hoping that some idiot would at least take Sissoko and the rest of our midfield,
but now not a chance of that.
Can't see Arry being inspired by him.

Very uninspiring if this happens. Surely Potter, or even Howe would have been better, at least the football would have been easier on the eye.

Yes, hard to see this working out.

It was never clear to me whether he quit Wolves or they wanted him gone ,i think the latter .Interesting to see how he fares without the Portugese agent working alongside him and arranging all the transfers .

I never understood what Spurs saw in Sissoko.  The only good game I saw him play, and he looked quite accomplished, was when he had to be played at the centre of defence in a European match - because of player shortage I think.  Very over-rated for me.

Nuno 1.01 to lay only so all over

to think this mob thought they were in europe's elite
a few months ago

Tottenham have appointed Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach.

The former Wolves boss has signed a two-year deal with the north London club bringing an end to their long-running search for Jose Mourinho's successor.

Spurs' new managing director of football Fabio Paratici has led the club's search for a new permanent head coach and close the deal as he flew into London for the first time on Tuesday.

The Spurs hierarchy have held talks with Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino, Paulo Fonseca, Gennaro Gattuso and Julen Lopetegui since the end of the Premier League season.

Santo was not a candidate when he left Wolves at the end of the season as Spurs pursued other targets, but emerged as the leading contender in the last week.

The Portuguese brought Wolves into the Premier League in 2018 and established them as a top-half side - twice finishing seventh - until last season, when they ended 13th.

'Two Year Deal' = caretaker until PSG sack Poch

At last market is closed and settled bets

Nuno has won the raffle.

No doubt Levy wanted him all along.

Whoa, been paid, that was swift.

Cheers gattuso!

a clueless handjob appointing a clueless handjob..oh,well..downwards and backwards

What a time to be alive.

Commiserations to Spurs fans though I think you have done slightly better than ourselves with Vieira

Rafael Benitez to Everton.. This guy knows what he's doing.

Patrick Vieira to Palace.. Laughable

Nuno to Spurs...  Might just work out to be the best piece of Spurs business ever.. 

COYS!

Levy specialises in unaspiring appointments

uninspiring

How did you end up tobes?

At the press conference we will, of course, be told that "he was the only target we ever had"

thank god this ones over

More the work of the fella in the other place methinks

Of the 3 appointments ,I predict that Viera will work out best ,had a great reputation at New York,did brilliant at first at Nice ,then first bad run they binned him .Talks a lot of sense as a pundit too.

HGS, I was +300.05 Nuno.

Very fortunate really as Nuno was a write off candidate for me. I layed him between 2 and 4 when he was said to be leaving Wolves and saw no need to green up, was keeping at him 500+ red.

Then I found an article, that had been released about 5 minutes earlier, saying Patriaci liked Nuno and had considered him for Juventus. That was the first sign that anyone at Spurs rated Nuno, so I went and backed him from 27 down to about 14. That got my red below 200 and I was careful to keep it no higher afterwards. The last bit of luck was the other morning when I was about 170 red on him as he was trading about Evens when the Fenrbace rumour came out. Even if it was likely true I was going to at least go level on him at double figures, but I got as high as 46 and average about 16 for the sake of 30-40 £ which didn't upset my position on any of the other much.

i agree with snowy

Very well done tobermory

ty YHTL, I know you did rather well on this, probably with about 500 fewer bets

Been there done that, all the
better when hard work pays off.

"I’ve spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football" says levy- all the best with that

give it a year or two and when people talk of the north london giants they will be referring to barnet

You've changed your tune sofa, you have been saying wolves were the most overrated team in England for 3 years but now nuno is there we were playing good stuff

That probably sounded witty and insightful in your head but it didn't translate well to the written word.

sofaking i remember you venturing into the politics forum during the american election where you proudly claimed 'it was impossible to lose money due to the wild price swings' completely unaware of how a betting exchange works

spurs and arsenal wont be challenging for the title anytime soon, hth.

Hard to believe he could be any worse than the last manager

I guess he'll use the same wingbacks / 3 CBs formation as at Wolves, Doherty back to being the assist machine he was, Reguilon or Sessegnon on the other side as more of an attacking threat

Well done tobe, glad you made a few quid, take no offence at the jibes,  would be a very entertaining thread, only for the dismal result for spurs fans. Hopefully Nuno works out , but covid could not have been predicted and Tottenham are feeling the strain from the expense of the new stadium, Tottenham has always been a business to some. COYS.

ty Irish Guy

I hope snowy and dragon are correct.

I know exactly how a betting exchange works and yes, it would've been very difficult to lose money on that market.

The circus is over, what a joke club we look ?

If this chap is a success then I will walk naked up and down the High Road carrying a big plackard saying 'Sorry Nuno, all is forgiven'

Everyone knows he wasn't first choice, probably 5th choice in all likelyhood, he will get no leeway from the fans and I dread to think when the boos will start ringing out around WHL.

I hope and pray I am wrong, but here is one very depressed Spurs fan of over 50 years.

Nice one tobes. All worked out in the end. Much deserved after being put through the wringer. Hope you still have hair left!

I spent last night watching a few films and woke this morning still unaware, until I saw £50 extra in my account. I instantly knew why. That's the first time I have had a little overnight bonus and been gutted about it.

What's done is done and we'll just have to wait and see now, but I'm not at all confident he will put us back in the race. Well done Tobes, good to see you pulled out of it and well done all those that also nicked a few quid out of this.

Mourinho lied to Levy and told him he'd play attacking football. Has Nuno done the same? I can't see him playing positively enough.

Good news for Doherty but I always felt he got lots of room because teams were almost doubling up on Traore a lot of the time. Interesting to see how many Portuguese/Mendes guys he tries to sign.

Presume it will be a total clear out of your backroom staff as well, that was supposedly what scuppered him coming to Palace and presumably Portugese will be mandatory going forward for all.

Will be an interesting ride for you, safety would have suited us, not sure Spurs fans will be so accommodating.

What Spurs fans want is excitement/entertainment and being competitive... a win would be a bonus too, but being in with a chance of something that our football deserves would please most of us to begin with.

Your going to need an influx of players to get that Aspro

Yep. Can't argue that.

Went to Wembley to watch them a couple of times as a neutral because there were tickets available and it was enjoyable to watch,they appeared to be on the edge of doing something but have tailed off to be  a poor side under Jose...


Only one way to go now wait and see what he can do.

Good luck to the fella.  If he can avoid defeat to Arsenal and Chelsea, as and when, he'll get a bit longer to bed in.  Otherwise the road will be very bumpy.  Just how he's going to handle all these internationals when Mourinho couldn't will be interesting to observe.
Good luck to all Spurs fans in the coming season.

Sounds like Honcho has found God, or maybe he's had a bump to the head and it's knocked some sense into his bonce.

Good luck to Nuno... For the first time in my life, I will be hoping that Spurs do well (apart from when they play Wolves)
