Hugo was a world cup winner though , but i just don't think he made a good captain and should have certainly been demoted after the drink driving incident!

Perisic would have worked out quite well if it wasn't for the Injury!
I think this is a reason why we should go big in the cups, even if its the League cup it gets the players used to winning something together - this is where I think Poch made a huge mistake in discounting the cups !
Also the timing of Jose's sacking shouldn't be forgotten.
Poch reached a league cup final, 2 fa cup semi finals, another league cup semi and finally the CL final.
He made some bizzare selections but he never actively binned off the cups
All it will take is one phone call - "Mate"
Yep. He waited too long to sack him. Or even better he should have never hired him at all.
Mauricio Pochettino says Spurs’ focus should be on top four not cups
Tottenham’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, said trophies only ‘build egos’ and the top four is more important after their second cup defeat in four days, this time by Crystal Palace

This says enough for me ......... compare it to Ange who says he wants to win everything, its about building a winning mentality!
Yeah maybe and then we could have had someone to manage us in the cup that wasn't Mason.
From the pub, clearly.
We always go big or whatever term people give to the cups. We are just poor when it comes to making progress
The notion we just throw in the towel or take the cups less seriously is more rubbish.
Without a maverick player and when you can and do concede against anyone, you are just prone to losing.
I am past the point of believing in a remedy.

didn't realise he said that, a very strange thing for a manager to say, especially a former player.
We have also been completely handicapped over the last 7 years by our inability to bin off terrible squad players like PEH, Royal, Winks, Skipp, Sanchez, Dier Forster etc that repeatedly cost us cup exits
You spelt walking right...yeah?
Whatever floats your boat squire.
I like this post. There's been a few people on here saying we should follow the Dortmund model.
This post describes, far more eloquently than me why we shouldn't.
The Dortmund model is essentially an academy breeding young players to go on to help other teams achieve success.
They're basically a bunch of losers who could and should achieve much more considering their fan base and catchment area.
No thanks.

Already linked with Sterling?
Ben Chilwell anyone?
Him and Destiny as our left back choices seems like it would be worth a look at.

One of the biggest myths out there that Poch “discounted the cups” mate. He didn’t.
He got us further in cup competitions than any manager has in the last 20 odd years…
Never in a million years.
Sterling however would be an excellent stopgap for a year to 18 months whilst the 3 starlets get ready.
