Poch went on to PSG and won a title, then got the gig at Chelsea who actually do want to win titles.
Iraola is clearly a very good coach and still young. He could come to Spurs and do "well" for a few seasons and still have quantifiable evidence he managed to "achieve" something.

Make no mistake, if Ange fluked a league cup win this season, he hasn't "achieved anything"
We're utter fucking horseshit. Teams have been relegated and won a cup. Teams from the Championship have made finals.

Iraola plays a similar style to what Ange wants to play. High press, attacking.. The difference is teams want sit in against Bournemouth because it's Bournemouth (no offence meant) - Teams will naturally sit deeper when one of the big boys comes to town.

That's not to say Iraola wouldn't be a better fit, I really rate him. However we all know how it ends with any new manager.

Are we though? And is Allegri really what we want?

Hoping and skipping from one type of manager to another? The club has fuck all idea or identity.

Who knows if we actually are.

But the fact that he’s about as far away from how we’re playing currently does seem to indicate we may be looking at a very small candidate pool, of which none really work with the ‘back to spurs DNA’ ethos from a few years ago.

That or we truly are fucking hopeless at scouting managers.

Poch played the exactly same formation and "philosophy" as AVB.

High press
FB's provide the width

The difference was, one was a football coach, who coached his players day in and day out. They were trained to cope with the rigors of the system (IE their fitness was improved)
The other was a clipboard cunt who, from what the likes of Jenas said, told players not to move out of their designated area of the pitch and gave them a rollockin if they did.

Just because 2 coaches have similar ideas about how the game should be played, doesn't mean they're remotely similar coaches.
 
Really zoning out if he's here for another couple of games. The inertia and incompetence from the board and Lange is just staggering. Been thinking there must be more to this than meets the eye but starting to come to the conclusion they dont have a clue what to do so they do nothing either with manager or incoming players.

I'm struggling to think how many careers we've actually ended?

AVB maybe. Redknapp was getting on a bit. Nobody really seems to have suffered this mystical "career suicide" by coming here. I think it's just Spurs fans being melodramatic because we're having one of those moments.

I’ve no clue as I don’t really follow managers but Santini? Jol ? Ramos ? Sherwood ? Maybe it’s just that we’ve hired a fair few duds

Managers will always turn up somewhere but for me it’s more that many go on and prove that they are not pathetic , like players going on to win stuff

Oh I agree, don't get me wrong. All I'm saying is it looks amazing what Bournemouth are doing because it's at Bournemouth. Whether he'd be able to transition that to Tottenham is something that we'd have to wait and see.

We have a very temperamental fan base, where as soon as it gets rough they want to pull the trigger. It happened with Poch after 5 great years.. Now we're 3-4 managers on with a worse team. Nothing is being fixed instantly. We're nowhere near that team Poch had.. Both in ability and stability.

How likely is it that Ange Postecoglou will be sacked this week?


Copilot

Sent by Copilot:​

Ange Postecoglou’s position as Tottenham Hotspur’s manager is currently under significant scrutiny. Following a disappointing 3-2 loss to Everton, Tottenham’s season has been challenging, with the team languishing in 15th place in the Premier League12.

While there are reports suggesting that Tottenham has already identified potential replacements23, football journalist Fabrizio Romano has indicated that no immediate changes are expected12. The club’s leadership is considering the impact of numerous injuries on the team’s performance12.

So, while it’s clear that Postecoglou is under pressure, it seems his fate may not be decided just yet. How do you feel about Tottenham’s current situation?

It sounds like you’re really frustrated with the current situation. Many fans share your sentiment, especially given the team’s recent performances. Sometimes a change in management can bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the team.

What do you think Tottenham should focus on to turn things around?

You

Sent by you:​

They need to focus on signing better players, but the culture from the board needs to change from focusing on profits to focusing on winning!

Copilot

Sent by Copilot:​

You’ve hit on a crucial point. Building a winning team often requires a shift in priorities from the top down. Investing in high-quality players is essential, but fostering a culture that prioritizes success on the pitch over financial gains can make a significant difference.

Do you have any specific players in mind that you’d like to see Tottenham sign? Or any other changes you’d suggest to improve the club’s culture?

You

Sent by you:​

I don't have any player suggestions but the club needs to sign a new CB, RW, and Striker, in my opinion.

Copilot

Sent by Copilot:​

Those are definitely key positions that could strengthen the squad. A solid center-back (CB) can help stabilize the defense, while a dynamic right winger (RW) and a clinical striker can boost the attacking options.

It’s always exciting to think about potential signings and how they could transform the team. Hopefully, the club’s management will take these needs into account and make some impactful moves in the transfer market.

Is there anything else about Tottenham or football in general that you’d like to discuss?

You

Sent by you:​

Yes. Daniel Levy (is a bald lizard wanker) and Enic need to sell up and move on

Copilot

Sent by Copilot:​

It sounds like you believe a change in ownership could be the key to turning things around for Tottenham. Many fans feel that fresh leadership at the top could bring new ambition and a different approach to running the club.

Ownership changes can indeed have a significant impact on a club’s direction and success. It will be interesting to see if there are any developments on that front in the future.

Is there anything else you’d like to discuss about Tottenham or football in general?

No, thank you for listening to my frustrations

Pressing high and wanting to play on the front foot are the only similarities, Iraola team are much harder to play against, they’re aggressive all over the pitch and defensively responsible. You watch Bournemouth and you’re just clearly watching a really well coached team in all phases of play, you watch us and you’re just watching a complete mess, lose the ball anywhere on the pitch and it’s a chance for the opposition. I’d say he’s closer to Poch than the insanity of anges football
