The rumors of Julian Nagelsmann’s interest in Spurs are gaining steam.
It’s the hope that kills you, right?
Tottenham Hotspur’s immediate future rests on the shoulders of Jose Mourinho. With Spurs all but out of the top four race, barring a turnaround of form, the success of the season will be dictated by the Carabao Cup final and the Europa League campaign. Mourinho’s future is very much in doubt and the lack of silverware in this season probably spells the end of his tenure this summer.
Results will dictate how the story plays out, but there’s a man waiting in the wings according to reports this week from Germany. Julian Nagelsmann, the man in charge of RB Leipzig, is apparently quite interested in taking over if there’s a vacancy. Christian Falk, a beat writer in Germany, is the one suggesting this.
The reports have been somewhat wishy-washy before this week, but with London beat writers suggesting Mourinho’s job is under scrutiny and German writers getting into the fray, it’s hard to say this isn’t a thing. There remain some questions as to why Chelsea didn’t go after Nagelsmann after being linked to him when Frank Lampard was sacked, though the answer is probably that Nagelsmann didn’t want to leave mid-season.
Spurs seem content to ride out the season with Mourinho, and with the Carabao Cup final pushed back until the end of April, we’ll probably know what the club is thinking based on performances and results. Spurs haven’t won a trophy since the League Cup back in 2008 and supporters want silverware. With the poor form of the squad in the league compounding things, the standard three season timeline that Mourinho seems to bring might have skipped a few stops along the way.
Nagelsmann is considered one of the brightest minds in European football and should be at the top of any club’s wishlist. If he’s available this summer and Spurs sack Mourinho, this is a no-brainer. He’ll be pricey, especially adding Mourinho’s potential buyout to the mix, but it’s worth every penny to lock him up if this is how the dominoes fall.

Has it ever occurred to you 'Mr Positive' that generally in life if a huge majority think one way and you think another, you might be wrong? It's good to have the strength of character to stand by your beliefs but it's also good, on occasion, to be more introspective and take stock and question those same beliefs. You're allowed to get things wrong you know.
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. You were calling for Poch's head for months on end before he got sacked whilst the rest of us were willing to give him more time to turn things around, such was his credit in the bank. So don't come at us for constantly wanting a manager sacked. You wrote the damn book on it, mate!
I think most of us Spurs fans want the same thing but it's more than just trophies, it a clear lineal progress. I think whilst most of us feel it's very possible that we could win the League Cup and quite possibly the EL, but it doesn't really correlate with the league form and style of play, therefore the line of progress is harder to judge. If we're poor in the league, play terrible football but win both those cups, surely it would be Jose who you would describe as 'lucky' in the cups, not Poch.
We want progress, not just silverware. We had silverware in 1991,1999 and 2008 but I wouldn't say they were followed by golden eras for Spurs fans. The were isolated wins and none gave us any kind of springboard. What we saw from 2015 was genuine club progress. Battling for the title, CL every season, new stadium and training complex, CL final. These are the things that make you bigger, not some tin pot League cup that most teams don't give a jot about. But, we're never going to win you over. You're probably going to respond to this with some jibe about me living in the past as a Poch disciple. I'm not. I'm just a spurs fan and Poch represented real progress for our club, whether you like it or not. I feel Nagelsmann is of a similar mould which is why I'd like him in. Jose will never be that progress, one isolated cup or not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was proved right over Poch, he was sacked. I will also be proved right over Jose, he won't be sacked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You were not proved right about Poch not going to a big club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PSG are not a big club, they are a financially doped club. I reckon he won't last 12 months there, PSGs league form has already started to dip.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They're bigger than Palace though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I reckon Poch will end up at Palace. Hodgson will be stepping down shortly. Opportunity for Poch to resurrect his Prem career, after PSG sack him.

very strange to seemingly belittle a long serving (by spurs standards) manager who got us to the CL four seasons running something that no other PL manager came close to..
We will see what will happen with Jose, but this season cant have gone as well as you expected Mr P

Source for this 'huge majority'?. I think you're being a bit arrogant there. I'm not even sure what you're saying this huge majority think? That we shouldn't have sacked Poch? I doubt there's a huge majority there.
That we should sack Jose? I think there's maybe a majority there, partly because some never wanted him, partly because of recent results. But the players are still behind him and so should we be.
Have your opinion but don't try to bully others off theirs.
