I have heard name like Rafa Benitez and Fabio Capello being raised all over the place. As a spurs fan I really wouldn't want to see either of those two managing the team to be honest. But I haven't exactly been impressed by anyone on the shortlist so I'm probably going to be unhappy whatever happens.

So what do you reckon about Mr Hoddle then JamezZ, is it all a load of hype generated by the press or would Spurs fans welcome him back?

It's a lot of hype generated by Gary Lineker's tweet about Hoddle being a good replacement etc. He was definitely a good player but he has not managed a club in almost 10 years and I'm not sure if jumping in to a squad with such huge expectations is where you want to come back into management.

Well, I for one have gone and bet against his becoming the next manager on the exchange, before the price rockets to silly higher odds. Chalk another one up for the press driving the betting markets.

Depends what they're going for. Sherwood or Hoddle would be sensible enough short term options I think, it might be that they've got someone in mind who won't be available until the summer.
Not sure about Benitez. Would Spurs even be a step up from Napoli?
