A lot of people said, even before Fergie retired, that the time to be Utd's manager was after the first one. If I was a Spurs fan I would be worried about his general nagative demeanour and playing style, Spurs like Utd have an attacking tradition. Noises coming from OT is that he was more concerned about how to stop the opposition than Utd going forward. He was a defender as a player, I think it's just the way he is and he won't change. I can see him going abroad to get out of the limelight like Steve Maclaren did, or maybe Celtic if Lennon moves south...
