I think Parker would take the job, even under the restraints of working with Levy, but we wouldn't get past the first hurdle of agreeing to pay reasonable compensation to Bournemouth by the looks of it so it's kind of irrelevant.
Same with Potter imo.
I agree with you. And I did not mean to take anything away from fact that he helped them to raise their game to these mentioned heights. He helped to raise them there.
But that does not change the fact that after raising their levels he never was able to get them over the line. Furthermore - he totally lost this golden touch with players after that bunch. After them, everyone coming through the door (and those already in) got worse and worse.
I feel that Levy/ENIC and Poch are both like arcs, just with different trajectory.
ENIC&Levy took us over, put us on better footing, raised our profile and made us a CL club from midtable. That was their peak and after that we have started slide back down, as they have made many big mistakes.
Poch took us over from accidental CL-qualifiers, made us mainstay in the comp and steered us to the final (latter also with much luck) but simultaneously with our final-run, everything started to slide down fast - we had peaked under him. Those who he helped to improve their game had peaked, but he was not able to promote anyone from youth side and all the incomings were poorer then their predecessors. Their level did not rise anymore like once levels of Eriksen and Dembele did.
So based on that I would willingly bet 1000 EUR / pound that if Poch would take over tomorrow, it would end in a dumpster fire unfortunately. It does not work in a way that you look back at you "good old times", take one factor from there and all the positives are still there. It's not.
The bigness of Spurs as a club is beside the point really. This is a booby trapped job as long as it continues along its terminal squad decline post-Summer 2018.
Any manager now is just waiting for Kane to go. After which looms disaster.
It’s only after that cycle is complete that there will be any opportunity to build something here.
Yes. Poch had to go. As painful as that was he had taken us as far as he could (look at my previous post here in the topic where I explained how we had peaked and were on downward spiral under him).
We had gathered 1 point per game for what was it ? 25 games in EPL? And we had not made a truly successful signing for 5 years. We couldn't continued like this. If we would, there was literally 0 chance we would have finished last 2 seasons even in top 10.
Of course looking back the change should have been much more decisive and bigger. Mou was taken on based on the assumption many here believed - that we have functioning squad that just need right kind of nudge to achieve stuff. And I actually liked some things that Mou did, I am not afraid to say it. He made a decision once and for all about Eriksen, Rose and KWP. And despite Hjojberg having his flaws, he is still better than 10 preceeding purchases in the time when Poch was our manager.
We should have made much bigger clear-out and our scouting system needed big re-do. Like a really burn-it-to-ground-and-start-everything-from-zero re-do. Looking back Mou was not right guy to bring in. And in this instance neither is NES.
All that does not mean sacking Poch at the time he was sacked was wrong decision.
What like Pochettino?
Its crazy. I've heard people saying the same about Potter and Franks. They won't leave mid season to join us. Do fans really believe this? All 3 would crawl over broken glass to come to Tottenham.Fuck me, how could we dream of prising away a manager from the mighty Bournemouth??? It would be unheard of!
Jesus, this is really what that little weasel Levy has done to the perception of this club with his series of disastrous decisions. Got our own fans believing we couldn't take the manager off of a Championship club if we wanted to...
rather finish eighth and not have to worry about some tin pot meaningless faux European trophy
Pretty sure he'd get Everton a week after. Its then an international break so yeah, 1 or less points in the next 2 would probably have us in 10th/11th place and i think he'd be binned if thats the case.
We won’t be getting Parker or potter. They don’t speak Italian or are mates with Mendes.
Its a complete joke that what you've said here is completely true. Our best striker (with the additional component of being very loyal) in donkeys years and we have to wait until he leaves until we build something new again!
Potter would get all the time in the world from me because I've factored him what he's done before and I believe it would translate well to Spurs.
Nuno didn't impress me before, I never wanted him, what I'm seeing is no shock to me and it's the same dull crap he's served up at other clubs.

Yep ditto fucking Potter. These people have Stockholm syndrome. Said it many times. News flash. We could have had Conte. But Levy and Lewis are not running a football club. Its them AND THEY ARE NOT SPURS!Fuck me, how could we dream of prising away a manager from the mighty Bournemouth??? It would be unheard of!

Antonio over this dying Kane. Soucek/Rice over Skipp/PEH any day. Benrahma is more of a man than Ndombele. Fornals over Lucas easily. Any of their CBs over Dier. Our RBs arent that great either.
You're full of shit, buddy. Completely ignorant or simply fucking trolling.
You realise the shit signings you're bleating on about were not Poch's targets? You realise he was on his knees begging for the club to back him?
You realise he was forced to work with 0 new signings for one and a half fucking years?, and before that on a transfer budget comparible to Crystal Palace and Burnley?
Why do you think we finished up with Nuno after every credible, worthy candidate turned down the fuckin job?
We get shit signings because that's what Levy is willing to fund. The ENIC model.
Grealish. Wijnaldum. Sadio Mane. Fernandez .... have you even heard of these players?
I sometimes wonder if you're even a football fan, let alone a fucking Spurs fan.

It would be a special kind of Spursy for us to fluke a win against United and have them flourish long term by sacking Olé in the aftermath and getting first pick of the managerial targets. Proper Tuchel shit, y'know?
Then again my suspicion would be that they'd go for Conté, so hardly someone we'd be tapping up to replace Nuno.

So torn…I’ll never cheer for us to lose. But if this was a real “loser leave town match”….
