That picture with Terry made my stomach in way I haven't experienced (in a Spurs context) since seeing Sol in a Woolwich shirt. And I would have sworn nothing could make me feel that sick ever again. I stand corrected.

I wonder if Poch even knows about Terry shagging the WAGS of chav teammates, or his repeated boorish behaviour such as parking in disabled bays because "I is John Terry"?
If Poch doesn't, then people inside the club should have informed him before making the appointment.
But with the Boehly Consortium takeover, I suspect there is very little continuity, very little authentic club memory, left at the chavs. Too many rich, arrogant, fools who think they know best, massively overpaying for talented but unproven players, & treating everyone else as serfs. Chav serfs.
The comms team could have warned Poch, but I doubt they have the cojones. Probably too busy getting off on Top Gun tweets, like the rozzers.

And tweets like these
Don't want to be rude but this has to be some sort of illness.
So much self hate, it's mental.
Most things he says in the media have always been super cringe or don't make much sense (to the point that you wonder how on earth someone like that can be a good manager), especially now at the chavs. Really liked him when he was at Spurs though.
Fucking Poch and that wife chasing wanker, load of bollocks.
If Poch fails at Chelsea and is sacked within less than 18 months then it will vindicate Levy's decision to not re-employ Pochettino.
My view is that Levy is now back in his comfort zone.
He is employing people who will be subservient to him and are probably enjoying the best job they will ever have in football.
Poch fitted with this criteria in 2014.
The Poch Levy sacked in 2019 had forced Levy to employ 'win now elite managers' or be seen as lacking ambition.
Levy hoped he could low ball the supporters with Nuno in 2021. The majority of Spurs supporters were not ready to embrace more mediocrity and jam tomorrow at this point.
Levy will get away with it until he doesn't any more and his own position becomes untenable.
That eventuality is getting closer.
How things change.
You always love the one you're with...especially if they're WINNERS, right? Well, now he's with winners just like you and many other wanted WINNERS here. You're just worried that he's actually gonna win which would suggest he was previously surrounded by...well...not a winning culture.How things change.
I am absolutely amazed that some people are in such a parasocial relationship with him that they think he's been crying for us all this time.
Or that they've swallowed his "I'm everybody's cool dad" PR.
He got one of his mates to give an interview when he was shilling for a job and when he thought he wouldn't get the one he wanted. He was hanging around for the Chelsea job when they sacked Tuchel and hired Potter. He had the opportunity to come to us when his days were numbered at PSG but he decided he'd rather wait around for his pay-off than push it.
He desperately wanted out when he was here. He flirted openly with the United and Real Madrid jobs, he told us he would leave if he won the CL. Compare that to how Ange behaved when he knew he was on the way out at Celtic but had a cup final to focus on.
This concept of "oh he loves us and was desperate to get back in the door, he wanted it so much" is nonsense.
Pochettino looks out for Pochettino which is fine, that's football, my problem with him is that he played the "I'll always love Spurs, Spurs are my club" nonsense and just made himself out to be a liar.
He was not duty bound to get an interview either - name me one other walk of life where you are sacked from a job and are entitled to be interviewed for it again.
There is a chance he may be found out in his current job. He pulled up no trees at PSG, the richest club in the world with multiple world class players. He did well with us (and he did for two years) when the league was at its weakest, it was just after Ferguson retired and before Guardiola and Klopp had clicked and gotten their feet under the table.
He comes into a club in the biggest crisis he's come into in a league infinitely tougher than the one he managed in when he came third and second. Nostalgia has massively overrated him with Spurs fans, there's no guarantee he'll succeed there at all.
Personally, beating them and finishing above them is a goal for this season.

How many finals/semi finals did your 'winner' Poch fuck up?
Think on that.
So you are saying he had enough talent in those games to win? If so, then why were we the underdogs in EVERY single one of those games AND why didn't those awesome players win anything after he was unceremoniously defenestrated for your WINNERS? You know, we were sooo successful before and after him that it's a wonder he even lasted as long as he did...the loser!
I think I have an idea but I'll await your, no doubt, shrewd insight before 'think[ing] on that'.
Son at left wing-back in a semi-final against chelsea, Poch disasterclass.
This has totally edge the convo forward so I appreciate you input in these matters.
This really astute point aside, does it change the mechanics of my point i.e. we were the underdogs in ALL of those situations...it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to understand that a lesser opponent would most frequently lose to a superior opponent.
So he threw a curveball and in your estimation it didn't work. The outcome was always going to be the outcome if we didn't try something. I'm glad he tried something different...
Yes
YOU think we were underdogs in EVERY semi final Poch got us too? We weren't.
Agree. Should have been moved on 3 months earlier IMO.
I realise you're a johnny come lately, however, perhaps do some research. You don't come across half as clever as you think you are. In fact it's quite the opposite.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt
At the time it was more like a 60-40 game so we had a decent chance, but Poch's blatant fuck up cost us big time in that game. Son was horrendous in that role, made schoolboy error after schoolboy error and got substituted at half time.
But good to hear that you were delighted with his experiment in that semi-final.

Hahahah you can’t be serious…. Have you met Levy’s fanboys? They’ll spin it somehow to make their demi-god the good guy.
Welp, should we recount the numerous times you've been wrong...your effort to discredit this man is beyond normal. What have all those players done post Poch? What's our football looked like since? The man did wonders for us...now he's gonna do it for Chelsea...and I'll be sure to remind you.
Ok, name one when we weren't...and we were even underdogs against Ajax...but name one and defend it...You could have just done it in your reply if this was such an obvious thing.
Exactly, because life after him has been a whole bunch of WINNING. We've totally surpassed the Poch years with Mou and Conte, right?
For that to be true you'd have to know exactly how clever I think I am.
Never saw that one before. You coin it? Seems clever...almost, I'd say, twice as clever as I think I am...which if one is doing the math(s) would make it 4x more clever than I actually am.
60-40 to whom? That bit's important...
Doing the same thing against a superior opponent will get you the same result you always got. Is that hard to understand? Otherwise you are just betting on a coin flip, chance. You can understand that, right?
And I wouldn't say delighted...though I am delighted he's got the chance to repair his rep after his shitty treatment with us...by DL and faithless supporters like
