Darren Anderton believes that Tottenham "missed the boat" when it came to appointing Eddie Howe as head coach. Earning rave reviews for the job he did at Bournemouth after helping the Cherries climb from the foot of League Two to the Premier League, the 45-year-old was linked with a number of top jobs during his time at the Vitality Stadium.
Parting with the south coast club following their relegation to the Championship in 2020, Howe is now working his magic at Newcastle United and has his new club on the verge of a Champions League finish. Having elected against going for Howe in the past, Anderton believes that Brendan Rodgers has all the qualities to be a successful Spurs boss, although his choice is former manager Mauricio Pochettino.
"I quite like Brendan Rodgers. I think when he's given top, top players. I mean, what he did at Liverpool I thought was so unlucky to not win the Premier League there," said Anderton when speaking to AceOdds.com. "I think the fact that he plays a brand of football that Tottenham fans want to see, I think that's fair to say. I think since Poch, with Mourinho and Conte, the football has been dour at times.
