If Levy and Joe Lewis have as much power as we are lead to believe then there should be only ONE target for our next manager. It is simple, bring in Gus Hiddink asap, his achievements speak for themselves;

1986: Dutch champions (PSV)

1987: Dutch champions (PSV)

1988: Dutch champions (PSV) & European Cup

1989: Dutch champions (PSV)

1996: Quarter finals with Holland in the Euro champs

1998: World cup semi-final with Holland and a fourth place final position.

1999: Coached Real Madrid to a joint second place.

2002 World cup semi-final with South Korea. Where they lost to Germany 1-0. Korea eventually ended up in 4th place after they lost 3-2 to Turkey

2003: Dutch league champions in 1st season back with PSV. Phase 1 of the Champions league competition

2003/2004 Season: Currently 2nd place with PSV (after 7 games).


Hiddink is the first coach in World Cup history to get two different sides to the semi-finals and his achievements are second to none


This is a brief article based on FACT and I hope someone within the hierarchy sits up and takes notice. I want the club to look beyond second rate managers and build a club geared for continual success. We have the fan base, revenue and determination to play with the big boys. We just need to believe in ourselves and release our potential. Tottenham Hotspur are still one of the richest clubs in the world despite the fact we haven’t had much success for some time. If the club were to find success then imagine what would happen when our potential is finally released. I have many reasons why we should approach PSV for Hiddink and I will continue to submit articles showing how good a manager he is (His man-management is also first class too).

So come on Levy get your finger out and bring one of the most successful managers in the world to Tottenham. It is alleged he wants to manage in England and this must be an attractive opportunity to him (Remember he declined various lucrative offers to manage South Korea). He certainly beats all of the other options we are currently associated with so lets set our sights high for a change;

…Besides Gus Hiddink’s blue and white army has a nice ring to it
