I think the club is in a situation now, where, if they want to go with a longer term plan, it could see us finishing 8th or 9th for a bit, then hope they can claw their way back in.
Ridiculous mess to be in though, those decisions, not to back him previously have come back to haunt us.
Surely put the words in and the items show up actually is how search engines work ...
If you know what was said verbatum then yeh....... Only 7/8 years of results to rifle through though.... Then times that by multiple players..... Then repeat the process on twitter.....
Yeh, not sure I crave the' W' that badly.......
Mourinho definitely came in and told levy he could get more out of the squad. It’s been said subsequently since of that I’m sure. Poch had to operate with both hands tied behind his back. I guess it makes it a bit different than usual when levy only does it with one hand!
I’m not certain Poch will come back either fwiw
I know that fans are listened to, thats how Nuno got the sack. I just think its more important for the board to have their own plan and to stick with it regardless of what fans might say. Nuno was a last ditch appointment so they probably werent that bothered about getting rid of him.
As far as Arteta is concerned, he inherited an absolute mess and was still able to win an fa cup. That is probably why they were a bit more patient with him even during his bad run.
Managers have to earn time in football, its not just given to them. They could see the trajectory and predict that he was going to improve in the 4th season. Thats why he was given time and Emery wasn't. Because they could see something with him that they didn't with Emery.
Mourinho didn't have peak Toby, peak Jan, peak Dembele, Walker, an interested Eriksen, peak Rose.
Poch was great, but that's anything but a like for like comparison.
I think you're mistaken rather than lying fwiw and I'm happy to be proven wrong, i don't care one way or the other really whether they were his targets or not, but i haven't seen anything conclusive that says they were so when people call them his signings i question that - especial given his comments re his involvement in transfers.
Not sure how that addresses what I said, but ok.......
Steve Cooper is excellent, what he did at Forest last year was unreal, and this year he's shown that he can adapt and be flexible...and it's not that easy when your chairman signs 23 or 24 new players. But I think he needs another full season in the PL before he makes that big step up.
Glasner is a very good manager, more experienced than SC. Ready for the big time? I think so. If we could get him to come over and bring Kolo Muani along for the ride, I'm in.
That's ok too.......
I'm perfectly comfortable that I've not hallucinated similar comments from multiple players, articles etc. over the years.
Something tells me you didn't google very hard..... Look what I just found with very little effort:
Juan Foyth and the Pochettino phone call that changed everything

Ndombele on Spurs decision and Poch's powers of persuasion
Tanguy Ndombele says Mauricio Pochettino's powers of persuasion coupled with a tantalising 'project' convinced him to join Tottenham rather than another one of Europe's elite clubs.

I see it the opposite way, I think it’s by far and away the most likely and feels inevitable.
Poch checks a lot of boxes but more that it suits Levy than anything. He’ll hope Poch can turn shit into gold again while we struggle offloading overpriced players. Maybe he’ll be able to convince Kane to stay on for longer, and Poch will do wonders for appeasing fans for a while.
It‘s cynical and short-term thinking, but so Levy it hurts.
Poch may not be a great fit with Paratici.
Cos of Fab himself or just any DOF?
........Fuck the idea of going back to not having a DOF.
Because Fab and Poch maybe don't see things the same way in terms of players. Could be wrong, hope I'm wrong.
Agreed. Binning off the DOF model now would be a massive step back.
