So apart from the money...
Why would any ambitious young manager now consider going there.
We regularly have discussion here about KM and gelling a team etc and think its pretty much agreed that its taken a little time for him to bond two essentially different squads .... so how is someone like him ever going to succeed at a big club ( in trouble because that's when you get the gig at these places!) in these unrealistic timeframes?

He’s already at a big club!?! |  |

A squad full of experience at that level. McKenna would be ideal for Spurs and Frank's would be ideal for us IF McKenna went there. Straight swap. |  |

Yes, of course they would. They’d crawl over broken glass for a job like that.
What’s the worst that can happen? You’re booted out in six months with a boatload of money and your reputation in tact. Nobody will think any the less of Frank if he’s given the heave ho and he’ll be back employed by a premier club in no time.
With regard to succeeding at a big club, Arteta, Klopp and Guardiola have shown it’s possible. Unlikely in Spurs’ case, of course, but if McKenna is offered it, he’ll surely go in a heartbeat. |  | | |

Owners panic and roll the dice in the hope of sparking a miraculous turnaround. Which sometimes works (c.f. Wolves and Everton last season), but often does not (Southampton, Leicester). It relies on having the underlying quality which, with better management and/or motivation, can improve results - which, with a lot of badly-run or underfinanced clubs, won't be there.
However, as you say, it negates any possibility of long-term development. All it does is create a merry-go-round of managers who never have the chance to succeed, but are always in the frame for another job. A few will gain reputations for fire-fighting, a modern-day Allardyce or Warnock (Dyche, I think, falls somewhat into this category). But the rest will just churn between short-term failure (sometimes just lack of extraordinary success) and unemployment.
Damages careers without real benefit for the clubs involved, or even for owners having to make pay-offs and finance constant squad changes.
Who are the clubs with most consistent success? Guardiola has been in the job for nine and a half years, Arteta for five, Klopp was at Liverpool for nine, Ferguson famously at ManU for 27. Villa have stuck with Emery for three years and are now coming good. Yes, that is partly because of success achieved, but it also allows teams to be built and then rebuilt after generations of key players move on. |  |

The key seems to be showing improvement, playing good football and get the fans and players onside, never really happened at Spurs or Man Utd for the last few years.
Postecoglou, Frank and Amorim seem to take the line that it’s “their way” and everyone else has to toe the line while McKenna seems to have a much more collaborative approach.
The reason why any manager considers going to one of these clubs aside the money is that they back themselves to be the one who does finally turn things around . . . |  | | |

It wasn’t the question admittedly, but….this surely shows once and for all that the problem at Spurs is not the manager, not this one or most of the previous. Frank is a very good manager, and must regret taking this role every waking minute. |  |

If you back yourself to success why wouldn’t you?
If they sack you early, you’ll get a huge payout and most of the attention will be on the club being a bit of a basket case anyway.
I don’t think it the hard stop you’re making out. |  |

7 months, with a pre season is long enough to build towards something, Spurs look a poor side from the recent games I’ve seen of them.
They’ve won 7 games of football all season.
I don’t think he can any complaints if he were to be sacked, he’s a good manager, but sometimes you can’t find a tune at certain clubs, players and managers that is. |  | | |

all football managers are driven, confident, high-ego type of guys. They all think they will be the one to spark success. They all operate in a hyper-competitive industry. |  | | |
