Hasn't for us.
Graham won it 99
9 year wait for another one when Ramos won it.
Been 17 years since then.

I would say the opposite. A random cup win does not breed a winning mentality. Being consistently good over a season of 38 games breeds a winning mentality. Not losing very often in that period builds a strong team that will, eventually, go on to win cups. Despite Poch's side not winning a trophy, we were DAMN close. 2 title pushes, a league cup final and a Champions League final. Literally minutes away from bigger things. Those sides, let's not forget, went deep into various cups and still managed to qualify for Europe through the league every season.



IMO, a successful Poch team is young and full of fit players who have not yet become household names. Once they become aware of their talent, and are wanted by other clubs, they're less willing to work as hard as the younger players.
IMO, the tough rebuild was Poch saying some household names might have to go. Names like Kane, Eriksen, Dier, Rose, possibly Jan by then. It would have been very tough for Spurs to manage that PR.



4th in the PL and CL final too. There's no need to literally throw a season down the shitter to go deep in Europe. Arse are 2nd and at the same level as us in the CL.

Same applies to a lot of under performing players.



It just shows that a good manager can fight on multiple fronts.
We finished 5th last season but had no Europe and were out of the domestic cups at pretty much the first hurdle.
AngeLOSS can't manager multiple competitions.

As you said we went ‘damn close’ to winning a trophy under Poch!

But we didn’t because we don’t have a winning mentality now like we used to so any trophy we can scoop up we should do!

But then again, I’m having a conversation about coaching with someone who names themselves Not A Serious Man.

May as well be talking to a McDonalds security guard about rocket science

I'm sure any McDs security guard would know more about rocket science than you do about football given the guff you've continually posted to defend the indefensible fraud.
 
It's better to be a lucky manager than a good manager.
The question is will anges luck run out in the el?
I dont know how many times he has won a game when he was really under pressure.

The best outcome is we sack the clown a few days before the final (IF we get there) and then win it.

The oafs I win stuff on my second season is thus demolished and serves him right after the Man City comments, cupping an ear to our supporters and throwing young players under the bus for his own inflated ego.

I have never despised a spurs manager until this idiot.

I despised George Graham the most for obvious reasons. Gerry Francis was a tool of a man. But Ange is probably the least worthy manager. Either him or Gross another clown.

If he wins a trophy it won’t change anything for me in that regard.

Well, nobody remembers the year they came 2nd and got knocked out in the Semis.

Everyone remembers a trophy.

I'm not sure what this fictional scenario is referring to, as we've never been 2nd in the league + gotten to CL semis. It was FA Cup semis in 2016/17.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I'll remember that season (and the preceding one) much more fondly than stumbling our way to a Europa Cup this year. 2015-2017 is the most complete Spurs team I've ever experienced. Well coached, free-scoring, fearless, resolute in defence - all despite a fairly bodgy squad. It felt like we were making real progress then.

Winning a Cup this year, as special as it is in isolation, flies in the face of all of that perceived progress. All of the empty corporate epithets about 'attacking football', 'The Tottenham Way', and the ever-promised Great Rebuild(s)... none of which would have been necessary had Poch been supported 7 years ago, when we were on the cusp and falling forward.

We'll never get there again under this ownership... but I'd still rather enjoy watching my team put up a challenge every week.

There is no way he wants to be here. He's quit for lesser things.

He genuinely wants to win the Europa and mic drop "Second Season mofo's". It would not surprise me one bit if he actually did that.

Then of course there is the small matter of a substantial payout.

100% on ur last paragraph - this is the fraud’s first and last “Big” job- So absolutely no way he walks away from a 10 Million quid payout - and in fairness, none of us would either.

So the the fraud will stay until our Bald Cunt puts the fraud (and us) out of our misery.
