I know, this payoff must have been eyewatering - was he getting 12 million a year or something stupid at Spurs?

£15m a year.

Payout is reportedly going to be £30-35m, plus £20m for his staff.

Think he'll go into International management now, that's where most failed washed-up managers end up

 

Not sure failed is the right word 

Spurs is the only club he's not won a trophy at, but not winning a trophy at Spurs isn't a failure 

Had he won next week he'd have been their most successful manager in the last 20 years

And international footie is more cautious; 0-0 after 90 mins, extra time and pens would suit him to the ground.

Might rock up at Bayern Munich. Doubt it personally, but it seemed inconcievable that he would manage Man U or Spurs.

He'll get another top job somewhere no doubt. He still, even though it's rapidly fading, holds an allure for some fans and club owners I reckon.

He's always mentioned that he would manage Portugal one day, he must have been gutted when they won it in 2016, as I'm sure his ego wanted to make sure he was the man who took them to a bit of silverware

I agree with this, international football lends itself to dour matches, it'd be right up his street

Great manager but it’s just hasn’t happened at spurs

He’s probably used this super league thing to take the heat off and make levy look bad

He was a great manager a la Wenger, he's irrelevant now apart from being a media whore.

Exactly this. The game has moved on and he didn’t move with it. One of those managers that changed the game once upon a time, but he’s been bypassed and is no longer in the top tier of managers - although he is still a “great” considering his overall record.

The shout for International management is a good one, it should suit him perfectly. Depends on his ego really and whether he wants to prove people like me wrong and that he is still top class.
