Well he's used up his 9 lives thats for sure. Guess it depends on his contract but if we lose in another feeble performance on Sunday or if the players have downed tools completely i'm not sure how we limp on for a further 8 games after Utd.He's not getting sacked before the end of the season, is he?
Can’t wait for the responseWell, well, well...
I would swap the first 18 months of Poch for the first 18 months of JoseWhat foundation?
He left a shitshow
It was the last 11 months of Poch that left the shitshow that Jose inherited thoughI would swap the first 18 months of Poch for the first 18 months of Jose
I'd swap the first 18 months of Jose for the first 18 months of Gerry Francis or George Graham. Not sure i ever thought i'd say that.I would swap the first 18 months of Poch for the first 18 months of Jose
This is it.He's not getting sacked before the end of the season, is he?
The best two players of the previous 5 years for Spurs prior Poch joining were Bale and Modric, one left the year before one left two years before. Neither were even close to being replaced AVB left Poch a mess and minus it’s star playersWhat foundation?

We really do need someone who is in touch with modern football. That probably means a young(er) manager. Jose is resting on his laurels and that's ok but it's not much use to a team desperately trying to enter the 21st century. All congrats to Jose and his career, clearly a great manager but simply not a leader for modern times. I don't hate him, he's just doing his thing but I do hate Levy for a, hiring him and b, just doing nothing about him. This the very heart of the matter, Levy and ENIC. Nothing will change whilst we're just considered an "investment"Mate have you been reading this thread and what most fans don’t like about Maureen and what they would like as an alternative? Benetiz is from the same mould as jose boring football with the same philosophy and sane blame culture.
Hear hear!I was a huge fan of Poch, gutted when he left. But it was the right thing and I don't think you go back unless something significant happens.
But Jose is a self important cunt, who even yourself in saying he needs a fair crack of the whip, is basically saying he's a chequebook manager. I hated putting Mourinho in place, not because of his record of winning things, but because he's a cunt, who polarises fans and players and leaves a lovely shitstorm when he does depart.
I will be beyond delighted when this fucker is shown the door, then I want an ambitous manager willing to play top quality football and develop us.
Not Poch, maybe Ten Hag.
Read the fucking article, not the fucking headline (the reason why they want you to click and subscribe). If you weren't such a fanboy you would not get so defensive over any of the assertions in this piece, especially whilst everything is pointing to utter dross being served up game after fucking game, with exactly the same patterns repeating themselves no matter who the personnel pick to play.Zonal vs Man-marking is about management style? That's just total nonsense. Both systems have their pros and cons and has nothing to do with management style, with an hybrid approach being my preferred setup. (FYI if a goal is conceded from a zone assigned to a player, you can still directly fault that player)
Sorry but who ever wrote that piece is either being disingenuous or clueless about the game.
Yeah and you’re a football tactics master cause you won some matches in Football ManagerZonal vs Man-marking is about management style? That's just total nonsense.

I can recommend a good therapist if you're distraught.I don’t think I’ll ever recover from this if I’m honest
What is that shitshow you talking about?It was the last 11 months of Poch that left the shitshow that Jose inherited though
I can’t remember the players being at each other’s throats or shagging each other’s wives or black eyes at the training ground when AVB leftThe best two players of the previous 5 years for Spurs prior Poch joining were Bale and Modric, one left the year before one left two years before. Neither were even close to being replaced AVB left Poch a mess and minus it’s star players
Our two best players have remained at the club , Jose has inherited less of a mess than Poch and in 18 months has done appreciably worse. The style of play has also been horrendous
We were 14th when Poch got sacked after getting thrashed by Brighton, humiliated by Colchester and thrashed by Bayern 7-2 at homeYeah leaving a team that finished 4th, leaving a team that still had 13 of our 14 players that had qualified for and played in a Champions League Final, and adding Ndombele and LoCelso to it. Leaving a team that Mourinho himself had said, there are 4 challengers for the title Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Man City reserves.
Yeah real shit show.
Just because the replacement has been a disaster, the revisionism that he inherited a shitshow is laughable.
The shitshow wasn't inherited, it was created by Levy's appointment and accentuated by Mourinho and his management style
I can’t remember the players being at each other’s throats or shagging each other’s wives or black eyes at the training ground when AVB left
It was well known that Jan was shagging Eriksens wife and turned up with a black eye!And I can't remember any being at each other's throats (that only happened after Mourinho joined), or shagging each others wives during Poch's time either.
Just another bullshit statement
