Who would you want?
I genuinely can't think of anyone realistic that wouldn't be a disappointment. Potter would have been okay - but now gone.
Luckily Levy's track record on good appointments is quite poor - so we should be fine. |  |

Palace and Spurs are very different from a culture aspect. Palace supporters and board appreciate being in the Premier League, and are willing to give a manager time and build a team.
Spurs are somewhat entitled and expect to be challenging but also play attractive flowing football, and are run by a board who come across as a little disengaged with the playing staff.
Palace / McKenna would in my mind have been a great fit, not sure at this stage of his career Spurs are the same - it's where good managers go to become average managers. [Post edited 21 Jan 10:04]

Nuno Espirito Santo being a case in point. |  |

Carrick.
But he’s about as likely to leave mid-season as McKenna, for differing reasons. |  |

The incessant prophetic catastrophizing on here is becoming quite depressing.
Think we have enough actual struggles to contend with, without conjecturing more up. |
I thought I'd made the OP clear enough that anyone that didn't want to engage in the hypothetical could just avoid it. | |

Liam Rosenior - knows the club, did a good job for us as a player, proven this season how well he did with Hull last year, knows Greaves, Philogene and Delap. |
He did pretty sh!te at Hull really, lets be honest. Contrived to somehow finish outside the play offs with a squad that included Delap, Philogene, Greaves, Morton, Carvalho, Zaroury, Tufan. | | | |

I’d like to think you are right, but there can be no doubt that KM is hugely ambitious and, whatever we may think, we are a stepping stone to a bigger club/job. I think he’ll jump at the chance if it’s Spurs mid season, maybe not as higher risk of him going if it was another club. He obviously has a very soft spot for the club, he has the history, knowledge of the club, and it’s all set up for him. Very much hope I’m wrong, but my money would be on him going to spurs if he was offered it, even if mid season. |
So, the Spurs fans are fed up with their poor results this season. So if you are Levy, will you try to appease them by recruiting a manager whose club are below them in the league & of whom most of them have barely heard? The Spurs fans will expect someone like Klopp (although obviously they won't get him). |  |

Would be a big risk for KM even if he did get an offer. Get that one wrong and by July he could just be another short-lived ex-spurs manager.
I think if he was really 1st choice for spurs then they'll wait till the summer otherwise they're just setting him up to fail.
It's right to fear a change like that, but think we've got reason to be confident that Ashton and co. take succession planning v.seriously. | | | |

I'm not sold on Rosenior, I feel like a lot of the clamour for him is based on him speaking well and being very positive about us.
Hull last year had some very good players at their disposal but finished below a Norwich side with a less talented squad. For me he underachieved there - or at best gets a score of par. | |

He failed to get Hull into the play offs with those players. I’d suggest that he failed last season. | |

Player there for 7 years, then a coach, surely Spurs fans would welcome him. He's one of their own. | |

There are some decent Premier League managers out of work.
Steve Cooper did an amazing job at Forrest, has a record of working with good young players, and his record with Leicester was compatible with McKenna's record with Ipswich at the time (and a strange sacking for me).
I wouldn't be expecting a big appointment to replace McKenna. |  |

We have a budget of £6m+ that we would have to spend on a manager so we could be a bit more ambitious than Steve Cooper. | |

But who would come here? The perception, rightly or wrongly, is this is little Ipswich nailed on for the drop. We're Blackpool, Huddersfield, Luton, to most of the football world. We aren't going to attract a big-name manager worth having. We will have to recruit from who will realistically come here. | |

When I started watching football new appointments were names I knew from English, occasionally Scottish clubs. In modern football, I've never heard of most of them, the pool of potential managers is huge if we don't follow the current policy for permanent player signings. The world would be Ashton's oyster. | |

Not sure about Carrick. I've a feeling Boro may ditch him if they don't go up this season. Parts of their fanbase are beginning to get twitchy on him as well. |  |

Did well last year? Yes he had all three of those plus Carvalho and a number of other very decent players - but still mangaged to finish outside the play-offs. His current team, Strasbourg, are in the bottom half of Ligue 1. Not sure how doing "a good job for us as a player" qualifies him to be a Premier League manager. |  |

This is a fair point - although more of a gamble in the PL than it was even in L1.
I wonder if Ashton's succession planning has delved into the European leagues - that would at least add some intrigue and excitement to the the disappointment! |
Ashton won't sign foreign players let alone a foreign manager.... |  | | |
