Arne Slot has reportedly signalled to Feyenoord that he wants to leave, with all indications that he wants to go to Spurs.
I consider myself pretty clued up on football but I’ve never heard of this bloke,what’s he done and how do his teams play,should the likes of tent peg be worried a fellow Dutch man coming over to steal his thunder..

He's not been a 'high-profile' manager for long but has done well both at AZ and also now at Feyenoord, though any success the Rotterdamers have enjoyed has to be seen against the slide in fortunes of Ajax and PSV, both of whom have recently sold numerous players or gone through managerial transitions.

Because Feyenoord have won many of the games against the smaller teams in the Eredivisie, they haven't needed to win all the six-pointers against Ajax (4 out of 6 points) and PSV (1 out of 6 points). That said, they have won the last 13 on the bounce in the league and done well in Europe, too, so he is clearly good at drilling a winning mentality.

He likes to play attractive football and seems to enjoy developing young players, so that could be a route Spurs go down. His English is quite good so he should settle easily enough and handle the media, but the squad he would inherit needs overhauling if it is to play in his style, so he'll need time. He'll also need to find help, as I presume that he won't be bringing his assistant with him, some guy called van Persie...
 
Think they will put a weak side (normal) out against Leeds, they won’t want to be faffing about with the Conference League which Villa may qualify for. I’d prefer Villa on that and we win the CL, the baiting when we play them will be epic.
 
What must this say to the Spurs players?

If the club is scratching around for someone to take the manager’s job, it can’t be instilling a great deal of confidence in the squad.
