A manager of Poch’s caliber who also clearly loves the club, the fans love him, and the players would respect day one - there is no manager in world football who would be a better REALISTIC option to move forward with.
I can only presume that many members haven’t bothered to change their vote.

The thing about Poch is, when he says he wants to challenge for the Premier League and the Champions League, I believe him more than any other manager. However, the problem is that if he signs again, he still won't be working under the likes of Paul Mitchell again or a head of recruitment of a similar ilk. Also, we might just be shit and 15th-ish regardless of manager, should never go back to an ex, and should not forget his last contract was a disaster.
Apart from that, I'm in.

The biggest reason for me is Poch has Spurs DNA in him , it will be there for the rest of his life , that's how it works .
It's always a plus when a manager has a club imprinted on him , we are seeing just that with Carrick at MU , and I would have been more than happy to appoint him as an interim and be given a chance like he has at MU .
But that ship sailed , so whoever we go for needs to have something that gives them that attachment to us , hence why I would have brought Mckenna in as an interim and review at the end of the season .

No, Poch has Poch DNA in him, do you remember him flashing his knickers at manure in 2018/19 and chosing to manage one of our arch rivals.
Son has Spurs DNA in him and could never play against us.
Poch is a career coach, like the majority of them. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to him returning but I'd rather start afresh with someone new.
I still want Silva. But I do love Poch and love that he has high expectations for us! I would not be mad if he returned at all- I just think "you can't go home again" so easily.
As we are seeing though, it's not enough for players and coaches to aspire to that level of competition, the board and executive level have to share that ambition as well. That is where we are being let down more than ever lately.
Was not up for it, until watching the video from yesterday. He might not be Pep/Klopp level but he loves us and we love him.
Better coach, used to working with scraps, prem proven- I've explained this all elsewhere- notably earlier in this thread.
Silva is a hardnosed disciplinarian with a warrior like mentality. He can rally players. Frank is notably uncharismatic and unadventurous tactically.
Frank was also working with scraps at Brentford?
Silva would almost certainly just end the same as Frank and Nuno
There's 8 points between 8th and where we are now, so it's very volatile. 10 points between 6th and 16th, which is absolutely crazy for this stage in the league.
It feels like you could get a bad refereeing decision, i.e. keeper sent off for "violent conduct" in some obscure way, and end up 9 points worse off if your backup keeper has a mare, and go from CL place battles to relegation battles.
I think the only way to look even remotely secure this season is to be so good you're in the top 3. It's been hilariously easy for United to get into CL places.
Anyone mentioned Kieth andrews yet 
We’ll have to agree to disagree. You and others on here have never been wrong before!
There’s a great word: conflation. You may want to look it up. Pretending every other coach is the same is Frank is just an extremely lazy argument.
Silva doesn’t even play 3 at the back usually.
Nope, never
I’m not saying he’s the same but he’s achieved a similar amount and plays a similar way in terms of being reactive instead of proactive and trying to dominate opponents.
Niether does Frank. I’m not sure he has a usual formation tbh
On Poch:
He highlights the battle of the bridge. We didn’t win and lost our heads. We had some amazing times with Poch but he’s not a winner. Think him coming back would be a huge mistake personally.
I haven’t watched his PSG or Blue Scum matches closely - or US so my judgement is purely on spurs. Curious to know:
Has he learned any new tactics?
Does he makes changes during the game early enough?
Does he bring young players through when he’s not forced to use them?

I read The Athletic articles on his season at Chelsea and sacking, and basically it all sounded VERY familiar to his time at Spurs

Management - Return of the Poch
Tuchel after WC? Perhaps unlikely given he will want to have a crack at Euros His style of football is mixed in terms of fit at best but good manager to be fair tactically.

Im going to repeat myself but when I did some work for the club a few years ago. It was the thing that struck me. The place IS NOT full of people like us. Its not full of Nutters and Mrs P who can recall every squad player, and away kit. There's lots of corporate types who like the prestige of a role at an EPL club but woukd feel the same way about working for Villa. Or Eli Lillly or B.o.a.c.
Just having Ledley or Daws about the place is not a commitment to our history and traditions in fact I felt like they were tokens to reassure the punters. The massive plus with Poch and Perez is they genuinely are emotionally involved before them David Pleat was the last football professional who felt Spurs was a special thing. Get Poch back then get a Mitchell or Freeman to lead scouting and recruitment and start a coaching pathway for former Spurs players.
