Nail on the head.
This whole fiasco has further highlighted just how utterly inept and clueless the leadership of this club is.
It’s worse than that, he only has enough of a clue to be dangerous, and he believes he knows everything.
Sort of the risk you take by signing managers to 18 month deals. Even Spurs can buy them out of their deal!
People think there’s some like secret ITK whereby it was knowable in March that Antonio Conte would quit Inter yesterday, or that Poch would genuinely feel willing to come back.
It just isn’t so. Things change. We are wise to be reacting to the market where it stands, but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is who we choose and the resources made available for them to succeed.
Hiring Graham Potter a month ago would have been a horrible mistake, because we can still hire him tomorrow if we want to, but now we have additional attractive options to consider.
Again, there was no point whatsoever to sacking Jose and making this job available when we did. Nothing important was ever going to happen until the end of the season.
Kane being one.
This only works if Poch is as ruthless with Winks, Dier and Dele as he was with Kaboul, Ade, Capoue etc.
I doubt he will be and that's what worries me.

Zidane could go to PSG. More than possible. Conte could take Madrid, so far better for Pochettino to look at a return to us if on the table.
Best scenario- really torn but it could only work under certain conditions or it could be an utter disaster.

I voted no.
Same reasons as others have mentioned. Too soon, too many players left that he lost the ability to coach, Winks etc.
Plus as much as I like him he was really getting on my tits with his comments in the few months before he was sacked.
For me the big problem is twofold. He needs a young team to play the pressing game he likes, but also relies on a sense of team unity which makes it difficult to refresh the team.

To be fair, it's also true that we haven't a fucking clue of what he is doing either.
In the mean time , let's enjoy the daily rumours... I wonder who's turn it will be tomorrow. I would put my money on Zidane
Sorry I disagreed mate, but this bloke gets us. All managers at his level have ability, but he has a passion for us. If Levy backs him he has the potential to become legendary. I say Levy should go for broke - get him and back him to the hilt.
This is how utterly clueless the guys at the top of Tottenham must be.
Sacking Jose 6 days before a Cup Final and putting a 29 year old rookie in charge has to be one of the dumbest decisions we've ever made.....
And that includes hiring Gross and Jaques santini....
What's that scene from?!Everyone excited about Poch returning when in his first game back and he has moved Dier back into midfield and he is starting alongside Sissoko and Winks in a diamond:
That's not Scanners is it?....
What's that scene from?!
It's from "The Boys" on Amazon. Highly recommend.
