they dont want trophies so it makes sense
Oh don't do that. This is why I try not to engage with you on this subject cos you twist anything to fit what you want it to.
Yes I want attractive football but at no point did I say I didn't want to win things too.
I want to win things with attractive football. If you can guarantee that we'll win things with shit football I'll take that.
But you can't guarantee it. No-one can. So my main demand is fun, attractive, exciting football. I am obviously hoping that'll lead to winning things too but if it doesn't then at least I've been entertained.
When a manager is sacked his whole coaching staff always go as well. Unless it’s Spurs , Ryan Mason stays. Wonder what it is about him?
Just read that a number of Spurs players have contacted Poch about returning to the club.I bet it’s the ones ,like Dier, who Poch would keep whilst other managers would certainly get rid of.

Jesus, hope that's not true. Conte basically just called them selfish and cowards and they go running to daddy to get them away from the mean man.
Can't be true......
Any decision to bring back Poch should be made by the board and based on merits. Not because the players asked him to come back because he is a "safe" option.
That's my main gripe with bringing him back. I don't want a "safe" option. I want something new. And I don't want Poch to potentially tarnish his legacy here by a bad second act. He should come back later when things truly are fresh for him. No Kane, no Son, no Hugo or Dier etc. A proper blank slate of a squad.
Best thing on the internet today
The official app needs to stop sending notifications about bloody kits being on sale!
Got all excited!

I meant the next manager not Conte who was never a good fit for us where all the reservations about him have come about .
It was 50% off the away shirt. Getting their priorities right this morning.
Bunch of weasels, bet they were buzzing when he got binned for Mourinho. They want to be able to continue in comfort without any agitation ironically just like Conte described.
I want Conte gone but that tells me everything about the mentality of the players if true.
Heartless, spineless gutless cowards who can’t hack pressure.
Squad needs (again) a major overhaul.
Are the undoubtedly world class training & player facilities that we have making them too comfortable?!
Are players coming to us thinking ‘oh great! Decent wages, top facilities, London lifestyle, not as much pressure as the top top clubs to win things coz it’s not expected so we can coast’?
incoming unpopular take.
And that may include getting rid of Son and Kane as well. They are two of the players who are still here from Poch's early run. We can't just assume that it is just Dier and Davies begging for him to come back.
I don’t necessarily disagree.
Yeah. They are obviously our two best players. But them possibly being part of the suad problem is an uncomfortable discussion that I don't expect most fans to want to have.
Apparently Dier and Davies are whats ruining a football squad.
Poch's 'painful rebuild' remark gets quoted often. I didn't know a painful rebuild meant selling players that everyone hates.
