Manager Mauricio Pochettino

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I've supported Poch and the boys far more than you all year.

Not this Im a better supporter than you bollocks again. You're better than that, Spursdem

This is your problem as a follower. You think support is financial and not emotional. You'd be happy with us coming 6th if it meant we bought Ronaldo for 200m

There is such thing as financial support though. Poch hasn't had it, and knows he cant sustain our position if that continues

You've said the squad that reached the Champions League final has been inadequate all season.

20 losses through the campaign would suggest I was right. A few memorable nights in Europe doesn't change that. And we won fuck-all. Again

So let's not pull at that string.
What string?

You do understand the difference in situations between Spurs and Liverpool, right? In terms of financial freedom.
Yes. Just as you understand the difference in the spending power between Spurs and clubs like Brighton.
And you also know the 600million stadium debt is a servicable debt

P. S. Poch has said transfers were sanctioned. So you're fibbing there. Unless you don't know the difference between sanction and completion?

As I've said before, i deal in facts, not heresay. And the fact is we were the first club in any of Europes top 5 leagues to not sign a single player.

I'm with Balague. Poch needs the club to start prioritising our football team.

Im backing Pocchetino

Fuck knows what happened there.
 
I hope Moura’s feelings for the club/manager haven’t been harmed by being left out of the starting lineup for the final - must have been quite a low after the emotion of the semi final (and he seems, like Poch, to be an ‘emotional’ guy, in a good way).
 
I never thought I'd see a supporter piss all over our achievement of getting to the CL final 3 days after we played it.
If that's your take on my words thats fine. The realists will see them differently.
Poch realises, like me, that 20 defeats in a season is alarming, and we need to start spending big money to improve or even sustain our position.
Poch wants the club to change it's priorities Spursdem. He's crying out for support and even his confidante and close friend Balague is openly voicing his desparation.
Me and Poch are on the same page.
I'm backing Pochettino in his crusade to change the priorities at the top of our football club.

John, I told you 3 years ago this would be the summer we make a move.

Don't act like you're suddenly now on board when I've been telling you this for years.
 
I have to agree, like you all, i've seen hundreds of false dawns as a Spurs fan, Poch is different, he makes mistakes but he recognises he own failings, he is humble, he is a fan and he wears his heart on his sleeve. I could bitch about his decisions in the final but frankly it was he decisions all year, the past 5 years in fact, that put us here today.

This feels different, at last we have a manager/owner combo that looks like they will pull in the same direction. Fingers crossed.
 
Poch simply indulges certain players regardless of form and fitness. Hes had money to spend but chose not to then spent the last 6 months sending out cryptic messages at completely the wrong times. Let's say hes not happy, wheres he going, sari to Juventus is a deal. PSG have offered tuchel a new contract. Utd ole, Madrid zidane. Hes done a good job, no doubt about that, but hes had a peak verts, toby, dembele, kane, eriksen, rose, Walker etc and not won even a raffle.
 
Big money does not equal great player - This summer we are a more attractive prospect and have confirmed funds. The hardest part of this will be clearing room in the squad and not letting existing players go for peanuts.

Big money doesn't matter but we must n't let our players go for peanuts. I think the above could easily be used by Oxbridge dictionaries as a definition of oxymoron
