If it is indeed Guttuso it will be the worst-case scenario IMO.

I always thought that Conte was an odd fit, but his success made it possible to look past some of his other qualities. After ruling out Conte and a Poch return it was always going to feel underwhelming no matter who it was, but Fonseca at least had some clear attributes to get excited about. He has had some success as a manager. Plays an attractive style of football. Is charismatic and would represent the club well. Promotes youth and improves players. If anything I felt like Fonseca would improve the atmosphere at the club and potentially unite the fans and team.

Gattuso on the other hand has all of the problems Fonseca has had and none of the redeeming qualities. He has had short stints at every club, very little success, and a pretty extensive history of hot-headed comments and decisions.

How someone who has been running this club for over 20 years and recently gave an interview about unity and restoring the "Tottenham DNA" would think this is the right hire at this time is unreal to me.

Sums it up perfectly that.

I think everyone was genuinely starting to look forward to Fonseca. I know I was.
I think he would've gotten a fair shot, whereas you're now bringing Gattuso into a situation where a lot of people will be against him from the start. Not a good vibe around the club at the moment.
