Tottenham players already unhappy with the sacking of Harry Redknapp would not take kindly to the appointment of failed Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas.
The 34-year-old is a top Spurs target but senior stars have implored chairman Daniel Levy not to appoint the Portuguese manager who was dumped by Chelsea after alienating many of the team and overseeing many bad performances.
Current France boss Laurent Blanc is also a manager Tottenham are chasing and would be a far more appetising prospect for the players.
Villas-Boas is one of the favourites to replace Redknapp but there is little fan support for him either.
But Levy is not afraid to make his own decisions and could still appoint the former Porto manager.
Other candidates include Wigan boss Roberto Martinez as well as Blanc.
Redknapp was sacked despite leading Spurs to fourth place in the Barclays Premier League.
It would have been enough to reach the Champions League, if Chelsea had not won this year's edition of Europe's premier competition.
They beat Bayern Munich in the final, steered to victory by Roberto Di Matteo - Villas-Boas's replacement at Stamford Bridge.
