Think Laudrup would do a good appointment, Hoddle or Capello not so much.
Hoddle failed at Spurs once, why would he be any better after years out of management?
Indeed, I find it amazing that Hoddle has suddenly become the Joan of Arc of English football again.
He was OK at Chelsea, a couple of FA Cup Finals but only mid-table in the League, and then mid-table again at Saints before he went back to Spurs and finished in mid-table again twice before getting the sack.
He only lasted two seasons in the Championship with Wolves where they again finished mid-table - twice!
Great player but an average manager who produces average results - he only gets mentioned now because of his name and his mates in the media.

To be fair to him, England played some of their best football under him in living memory.
With regards to his previous club management jobs, he didn't exactly have talented squads to work with, did he? Jeez, he had to turn the Ginger Pele in to a striker as we were so short.
Is he the right man for the job? No idea. I'm going to cover my ears and say lalalalala as god knows what direction Levy will go in now.
At the end of the day, it won't matter as the next manager will be sacked within 2 years without instant success!

That's fair enough John but what has Hoddle actually done since leaving Wolves to suggest he would be a better manager now than he was then?
It might be that he is a far better tracksuit coach than manager.
I have no vested interest but I would have thought that Hoddle's performances at club level have all been more than acceptable based on the squads he has had to manage, and as has been said, he did a great job with England, where he had great players to manage.
JonBoy is right though. Spurs don't have the players to compete with the top sides and yet they have a chairman (or what ever his title is) that demands success.
Spurs weren't, exactly, a one man team, but they were as close as I remember any side being in the modern era, and even though they got a huge amount of money from the sale of Bale, and spent it, I don't think they have spent anything like Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea on their squad yet it seems that they are expected to go toe to toe with them or the manager loses his job.
Sacking Redknapp (despite the off the field dramas that seem to follow him) was never a good footballing decision, and if he was not safe finishing 4th it was clearly only a matter of time before AVB went.
You would think that football owners would realise that there is only one League Title to be won every season and, shock horror, all the other teams are trying to win it too!

When you say a "great job with England" what is that actually based on?
He qualified us for France 1998 - the minimum expected - where we beat Tunisia 2-0, lost to Romania 2-1, beat Columbia 2-0 and then lost to the Argies on penalties.
For Euro 2000 we struggled, losing away in Sweden and drawing 0-0 at home to Bulgaria before his comments got him the sack.
Sure, we did well in 'Le Tournoi' in summer 1997 (beating France and Italy) but that was small beer, in the big stuff Hoddle was no better than many others.
I had a feeling that Hoddle was probably a bit too young to manage internationally and needed a few years at club level. Hoddle to return to spurs and then to take over England again by 2018.
As siralan is still at spurs, I wonder if AVB got the tin tac from him with a pointy finger as siralan sat next to that bloke who always does that thing with his eyebrows and that Doris with the legs.
