Why would Slot or any other reputable manager be even remotely interested in managing this squad and working with this utter fraud of a chairman?
Huge pay rise, working for one of the great clubs of England in the most popular sporting league in the world.

I think its finely balanced whether Sir Harry stays or goes. There's a valid argument the club should sell him for 100m plus. Yet I think ENIC want to hang onto him for various reasons.
What Harry should be firm about is not to sign another contract with us this summer.
If the club want to keep him fine, Harry will do his best for one last season. If by some minor miracle we win something, maybe then he will stay some more.
For me, Harry will be here in 24, but gone next summer

It makes no sense for him personally to leave this year. Even Charlie must understand that.

I don't know if it does or doesn't. Financially its better for Harry to leave as a free agent. But maybe while hes at his peak an extra season with a bigger club might enhance his career.

Not to mention working for the most interfering and unreasonable chairman on the planet who's responsible for ruining the reputations and the career's of proven winners and promising talent from the world of football management.

Yet still they come, the likes of Conte and Mourinho. We'll see who is next, but the plus points I have mentioned, plus the stadium, training facilities etc mean that managers like Slot and Nagelsmann are at least willing to consider the job

Some of you guys are fucking deluded...

I know I sound like a stuck record, so I'm not going to wang on about how fucked we are...

But take the fucking Spurs tinted glasses off, stand back and look objectively at this shit house and the environment its working within...

Only option is to spend out way out of trouble... and historically, we're fucking great at that ain't we...!

Excellent piece by Alasdair Gold here, especially the final paragraph..

“'To Dare Is To Do' has never felt less of an accurate tag for a football club that proclaims it as its motto. It's time for change, it's time to dare and it's long past the time to do”

Yes, and they will still continue to come because Levy will pay big money to get someone in that he thinks will take the spotlight off him for a while. And money will attract money grabbers and proven winners like Conte or JM...and even someone like Slot or Nagelsmann because the moneys good and if they fail, they get paid a fortune and leave the fans to vent their anger at the chairman. We can't get much worse. But its all completely irrelevant.
Why ?
People can point out the shiny new things like the stadium and the state of the art training facilities to argue the club is going in the right direction..but what has all that done for our football club apart from tourists with very little connection or genuine interest in us but only to oooh and ahhhh at it.
The optimistic approach is great but as far as I'm concerned, if Levy still calls the shots we're going nowhere.
The neglect and mismanagement of on field matters for over twenty years is what we are seeing the fruits of today. And now because of that we find ourselves in a position of disarray and looking at clubs like Newcastle, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, and Arsenal and ask how many of these clubs will we finish ahead of in 23/24 ??
That's where we are, and it's all thanks to our commander and chief.
The players are what they are as a result of lack of investment and freshening the squad. Far too many average players have been here for far too long. Its gone stale and toxic and they don't give a fuck. The only exceptions have been Sonny, Harry and maybe Davies.
I'll back and support my club no matter who the manager, or the chairman is or how we're doing but be optimistic for the foreseeable ? That's a tough ask...

Exactly my point about why managers like Slot will come, because of the pay, the facilities, the chance to work in the most popular sporting league in the world
Its nothing to do with optimism, for me anyway, its hard economic and sporting facts.
Looks like theres a good chance Slot will join, and I welcome that 😊

Levy is a despicable little tightarse, but it's all relative: Slot would probably quintuple his salary by coming to Spurs, or almost any other PL club. His reported salary at Feyenoord is around 1.7 million. Mourinho and Conte made almost 10 times that. Of course he wouldn't command the kind of wages they would, but he would make more at Spurs than he could at all but about 10 clubs, half of which are in England. It's a no-brainer for him.

In addition to money. One thing about managers: we look at the situation at Spurs and think, no way I'd take that job, because Levy is a buffoon and the club's football operations are a basket case. We see the gap between where we are and where we could be, and it's hugely frustrating. But you can't be a manager at this level without an ego. Slot and other top managers will look at Spurs and think: I'm good enough to get that club moving in the right direction.
Whether that's right or not is another question.

Agreed about the salary, have been making the same kind of comments.
But dont see the situation the same as 'we Spurs fans' who wouldnt take the job.
There are many reasons as a Spurs fan why I would see a top manager taking the job. The ones I've already mentioned, and indeed the one you've now mentioned about rising to the challenge of what is one of the biggest jobs in British football
