Well Poch was sacked in the moment he was because Mourinho had agreed to take charge, there was no search process.Can someone remind me why Eddie Howe wasn't deemed to be good enough at the point Spurs sacked Poch?
But he was disregarded in the disastrous Nuno summer, which was slightly puzzling at the time (he fit the club's parameters reasonably well and certainly immeasurably better than Nuno) and a disaster in retrospect.
He's really good and exactly the type of figure we're after.
