And while that was the big one, the failure to end all failures, it was just the most glaring symptom of an operation that had completely failed and was no longer capable of doing business at a professional level.

Unbelievably we then followed it up by not signing a single player in the following January window either. And if memory serves me right, we actually weakened the squad by selling Moussa Dembele.
Why are people still trying to justify this or absolve the board 7 years on. It's bizarre behaviour

More to the unanswered point, why do believe any of the unsubstantiated waffle you produce.

There's not a shred of evidence, nor a single word uttered from Poch to support that the club didn't want to, try to, or failed to sign a player. There's quite a bit pointing out Poch didn't want to sign anyone for the sake of it

e.g. this from the man himself

"It's difficult to understand for people that Tottenham didn't sign or sell a player, but sometimes in football you need to behave differently and we're happy with our squad," he said. "If we cannot improve our squad it's better to keep it together."

"The market was crazy. The World Cup changed the mind of everyone. The transfer market finishes today and people who understand it better than myself will debate whether it is a good or bad idea to be different to the rest of Europe.

"We have a very good squad, with very good players, and it is very difficult to add players to that. We didn't sell players and with 25 in the squad it is difficult to add.

"It's not about adding because it's fashionable to sign players. [It's about] if you really need [them] or not and then if you can get your target or not.

I genuinely thought people have been trolling all this time when they said we didn't make signing because of Levy, it was a massive thing at the time and well known that Poch didn't want any players in 2018, I didn't actually think people truly believed anything else haha

It wasn't Hoddle actually, it was Redknapp who confirmed it

'Mauricio Pochettino didn’t want anyone… I know for a fact’ - Redknapp

TOTTENHAM manager Mauricio Pochettino did not want to sign any new players the last two transfer windows, according to former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp.

“[Pochettino] didn’t want any players - I know that for a fact. He was happy with his squad. He feels he’s got enough, he can juggle around, Son can play through the middle.
