Kane had looked like a well meaning and relatively useful donkey prior to Poch joining, nothing indicated he would become an absolutely elite striker, Eriksen had been around for a year and was "much of a muchness" to use Tim Sherwood's assessment of the entire squad whilst he was caretaking, Vertonghen was included in that assessment but had barely looked better than Chiriches as a defender and also looked totally checked out, Danny Rose was not highly regarded at all, and had looked calamitous, he and Kyle Walker both had some the raw makings of decent fullbacks but came on leaps and bounds under Poch.
Main point being, the squad that Poch took over wasn't that highly rated by anybody, he turned it into one where the starting XI was considered top class by most.
That's not to glaze Poch too much, it could have just been lightning in a bottle, a confluence of fortunate events and timing, but he absolutely didn't start off with a great squad.
Fair few posters on here who could take some if this advice on board.
I'd love it but we don't have the luxury of waiting and getting an interim manager in. Anyone who'll take the job on that basis will be Stellini or Mason level at best and that relegates us.
Surely Poch wouldn't have to struggle to hard to find a way to get himself kicked out of America???
Just has to make sure he doesn't catch some lead in the process.
He is never leaving before the world cup, why would he either, managing the home nation .....
My problem with Frank is when he stumbled upon a winning formula he changed it in the very next match, not remembering how good or bad certain players were.
The other factor is Spurs get normal refereeing in Europe (hence the Europa cup win and prsently in knockouts of Champs' League), and get the worse refereeing in the whole English League as if Woolwich were in charge of the officials.
Most players booked than any team, most red cards, zero penalties despite many good claims. That shows a clear bias against Tottenham and Frank should have at least addressed that.
Spurs fans never talk about it either but are fooled by the Spurs-hating/Gooner-loving media cover-up!

Do you get a trophy for that or something?
I wouldn’t take him as my binman.
You do if you win, or if your Trump you just get a trophy for whatever.......
In all seriousness though, he doesn't seem like the guy to leave them in the lurch this close to the world cup
It seems like when Pochettino has gaps in his employment we're not looking for a manager, and when we're looking for a manager he's already employed.
