Home
Harry Redknapp, has achieved great things at Tottenham.
He is still not a dead-cert for the England job, while he is still
under investigation for tax evasion. But with Tottenham doing so well
under Redknapp, and with their success in the knockout format of the Champions League,
Redknapp looks like an ideal candidate for England Manager. I am a huge
fan of Redknapp and I would never want him to leave Tottenham. But if
Harry does get the England job, who should replace him at White Hart Lane?
Well my first choice would be Jose Mourinho. You might think this is ridiculous, but the idea of Mourinho becoming manager of Tottenham is not entirely unrealistic.
In Bale, Van Der Vaart and Modric, Tottenham have some world class
players in key positions. Mourinho would only need to strengthen a few
areas. On paper, Tottenham are not that far off the best, and their
players are only going to get better with time. With some intelligent
acquisitions, they pose a realistic chance of threatening for the title.
Tottenham are not yet fully on the radar as Premier League title
contenders, but have bags of potential. Mourinho would relish the
prospect of taking a good Premier League side and making them great. And
in Tottenham he has a perfect team to do so. Mourinho is a confident
man and I am sure he would believe that he could take Tottenham to the
top.
Most importantly, Mourinho would bring belief to White Hart Lane, just as he did at Stamford Bridge,
and that is what could make him an ideal manager for Tottenham and
Spurs an ideal club for him. Both parties would benefit; Mourinho would
get to show just how good a manager he is, success at Tottenham would be
considered a great effort, even after their Champions League run this
year, and Tottenham would benefit from one of the best managers in the
world.

For Mourinho to come to White Hart Lane,
Tottenham would have to qualify for the Champions League this year,
which would mean coming fourth in the Premier League. Mourinho would not
be interested in managing a club that is not in the highest profile
competition in Europe. However, Mourinho would definitely not come to
Tottenham if they, (and I’m going to say it) won the Champions League
this year. He would never take over a side that has already achieved
great success and out performed expectation, he wants to be the one to
do that.
On the other hand, he would not receive that much credit for winning the league with Manchester United as they are favourites every year. Plus, he would always be in the shadow of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Mourinho is a man who likes to do things his way, and it would be
extremely difficult to be the first man to manage United after Ferguson.
My guess is that if he harbours ambitions to manage United, he will
wait a bit longer. The timing seems to be just right for Tottenham. I
think a move to White hart Lane would be more appealing than one to Old Trafford in the near future. With this in mind, the idea of him coming to White Hart Lane is not totally out of the question.
Finally, should Mourinho not end up at Tottenham I want to put the name of Owen Coyle into the mixer. His success at Bolton
this season has been there for all to see. He seems like a great
motivator who gets stuck in with the players and his sides play an
attractive style of football. What I have been impressed with is the way
he helped develop Jack Wilshere last season, who went away a boy and
came back a man. He seems to be working wonders again with Daniel
Sturridge, who is on loan this season. With this in mind, I think
Tottenham could do well to give him a chance as they have some great
young players. He might not be a massive name just yet, but he could be
in the future.

Whilst Mourinho would no doubt take us to silverware the fact
that he has managed four clubs in seven years doesn’t appeal. He is
undoubtedly a great manager but I believe he’s in it purely for self
gratification to stoke his already over inflated ego and has shown no
sense of loyalty to any of the clubs he has managed. He ‘d be gone
within a couple of years. What we need is a long term manager who has
the winning credentials to keep us at the top in Europe. However the
problem we face there is that we don’t have a large enough stadium to
generate the revenue to enable us to pay top wages so these managers
wont come to Tottenham until we move to a 60,000 seater stadium..

I like Jose and miss his presence in the football league.
However many are forgetting why he was sacked by Chelsea, and it wasn’t a
lack of success, it was a style and football totally unacceptable by
Chelsea after the gloss off winning the league had worn off. Spurs fans
will not accept his style,some may think they’d be able to tolerate it,
but no no no a thousand times no,and anyway we dont have the resources
Jose would require to buy players with!

Look, defensive solidity does not equal, in any form, parking
the bus or boring football. Madrid don’t play badly at all, they’re
given quite a license to roam by the very man discussed above. It’s one
of the factors of his success, a solid, water-tight defensive setup, but
it’s not the only one. But I do agree with the sentiment that he’d
probably only stay for a few years before zooming off somewhere else to
replicate his success story. After so many near misses and managerial
miscalculations, what Spurs need the most is an era, one where one
manager gets the time and support he needs to forge his own legacy at
Spurs. Redknapp, unfortunately, isn’t that man;his desire for the
England job and his age would preclude him from being so. Jose, as
stated previously, wouldn’t be the man either. So who could it be? Very
few obvious choices leap out. David Moyes is one;his record at Everton
is beyond reproach, though his record on the big transfers is
questionable. Beyond him, it becomes harder and harder to find a manager
to do so, one who can also play the Spurs way.

! OK whatever the circumstances no thanks to Mourhinio for me. Just don't like him or some of the tactics he employs. His recored speaks fot it-self but I just can't warm to the guy. (As for 'arry & England; for me it's the same as a player. We always take pride when one of players is picked to represent their country and say the club must not be allowed to stop them playing for their country, ditto 'arry.) . . . . .
