Tottenham told to adopt a three-man plan to replace Thomas Frank and avoid relegation
Stan Collymore has suggested that Tottenham Hotspur should turn to some familiar faces to steer the ship for the time being and should appoint another ex-Spurs man in the summer.
The big question for Tottenham Hotspur is who they turn to next after the club decided to call time on Thomas Frank’s spell in N17.
Reports indicate that Tottenham are likely to appoint an interim head coach to see them through until the end of the season.
This could give the North Londoners more options to choose from in the summer, with several of their managerial targets out of contract in June.
Stan Collymore makes Harry Redknapp and Mauricio Pochettino suggestion to Tottenham
Collymore has now suggested that Spurs should turn to Harry Redknapp as the interim head coach, with Ryan Mason as his assistant, to galvanise the fan base.
The pundit then added that the Lilywhites could bring Mauricio Pochettino back to N17 at the end of the World Cup.
Collymore wrote on X: “Caretaker, I could see Harry as the Martin O’Neil rewind it back vibes with Ryan Mason doing the coaching. Piques supporters’ interest, a coach( like Carrick) with a point to prove while Harry gets the press off players and owners backs by holding court in pressers, post-match etc. Pochettino post WC after that ( unfinished business, etc etc)”
Collymore is adamant Redknapp can handle the Spurs job
If Tottenham were stuck around midtable and had little to play for, one can argue that going back to someone like Redknapp may be a temporary solution.
However, Spurs are in the midst of a relegation battle right now, and a wrong step could have disastrous consequences.
Redknapp has not managed at the highest level for more than a decade, and the game has made multiple huge tactical leaps in that time. Some may thus see appointing the 78-year-old as a huge risk, but Collymore disagrees vehemently.
In a follow-up tweet, he wrote on X:” Anyone who’s managed a thousand games knows the ropes and more importantly, their own fallibility as they age, hence Harry is the ‘face’ while Mase plus one or two do the coaching.
“Martin O’Neil is doing diddly squat technical work at Celtic, he’s there to say to a club, supporters and owners, ‘Chill Winston, your comfort blanket is here’. Harry has enough in him for 5 months.”
