No but I wasn't comparing the two but merely addressing one single point that you made (many weeks ago)

In my opinion the whole world of football and its finances, the big wages and transfer fees have finished for us, The Academy is the way forward so in my opinion Frank Lampard if he wants the job is the perfect manager to bring the younger players through, added too some good loans and a couple of shrewd signings would be the way forward, Mateta, Eze, Mitchell, Wilf, Sclupp are all this side of 30

I agree with your first paragraph. However, regarding Cooper he is very much in the Potter mould but apparently Swansea fans have been critical of his tactical awareness and use of subs. Possibly a little early in his club career to take a chance but who knows?

Also has not Cooper been linked with England U21?

Wonder if we'll have Howe as manager with Lampard as he's no 2 ?

Tomkins I rate. Pity his fitness this season.

Interesting. You can understand Spurs wanting a change of style after Mourinho and Brighton would comfortably be top half with a good cf. They’ve also invested significantly in a young squad who would be better suited to Howe than ours.

As I recall Glen Murray couldn’t do the running Howe wanted at Bournemouth and they parted company quickly.

I saw a rumour somewhere a couple of weeks ago that Howe had been linked to Brighton - couldn’t see why when Potter has them playing such good football.

Hate to say it but if they had a decent striker they’d be top half comfortably.
The brand of football Potter brings would deffo please the Spurs fans and the quality of their squad could be tailor made for him - not the craziest rumour I’ve heard .
Although the Spurs fans I know all suffer delusions of grandeur and tell me Potter wouldn’t be a “big enough” name for them.
Personally I reckon the Wolves manager will go to Spurs. Potter to stay at Brighton, Howe to Newcastle and Dyche to Palace - but honestly would welcome any of those linked recently over another season of Roy - I’d even risk Ismail at Barnsley or the available Wilder (this time last season people scoffed at our chances of securing his services) or same of Lampard.

We have got to change direction and come away from the oh so pragmatic, enthusiasm draining approach of a man so entrenched in his defensive mindset that his primary thought is “how good is my striker at defending corners”!

Roy is not the ONLY available Manager we could possibly get to ensure survival - it’s not automatically Roy or relegation imo. It’s time for a new era and it can’t come soon enough for me.

Yes I know - be careful what you wish for , blah blah blah yawn.

I think Bruce is generally underrated as a manager - can't see him coming back here mind you, even if Ashley got a someone else in.
