Former Swansea City boss and current Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers could actually have ended up at White Hart Lane instead of Anfield. Rodgers had Swansea playing in a manner quite reminiscent of the attractive style associated with Spurs and would have been a great match for the club, but the appointment didn't happen. Regarding his snubbing of the club and his subsequent decision to join Liverpool, Rodgers had this to say:
They are a great club and one of the things I looked at was their history. They'd had eleven managers in eighteen years there. I needed to create something. I needed to go to a club who were going to give me that opportunity. I am more than happy with the choice I made to come here and hopefully in time it will prove to be the right one.
That aforementioned issue of Spurs going through managers like nobody's business is giving them a reputation - and it's one that is clearly putting off certain potential appointments.
