Poch’s teams decline towards the end taking his points won below Sherwood.
I see Sherwood as an anomaly mainly because it was only 28 games.Poch’s teams decline towards the end taking his points won below Sherwood.
I'm also not keen on that measure, "% of available points" because to my knowledge it's the only site that measures in this way and it often gets confused with win %, which in Sherwood case was 50%. (Poch I think is 55%).
Yes but so has the quality of players improved - you want to see the likes of Atouba back (even worse than Aurier alledgedly) ?
Atouba was a sporting genius.
Not entirely sure what sport though.
Reminds me of how Big Sam has the highest win percentage of any England manager ever at 100 percent.Poch’s teams decline towards the end taking his points won below Sherwood.
One game, one win.
God, I miss the feeling around the club when he was the manager.
I’d love for him to return in some form of coaching or ambassador role.
The support was on a different level
exactly why I can’t say but it was rocking
Absolutely. I remember it so fondly.
I think it’s because expectations were fairly low and we were seeing such exciting games.
Every week was an adventure.
plus we had Berba and Keane one of the best partnerships I’d witnessed at spurs.
He was genius, made us a serious club.
And fought with Wenger !
I still have his squad photo on my wall, happy days !

Still love him, remember how dignified and respectful he was at Bill Nick's memorial service. Always felt that he 'got' us, a bit like Poch.
The way he was sacked is still pretty sickening honestly
Yeah was terrible, he made me love the club more than I did before he arrived
I still love the club as much as when first man ager arrived. How can you love your club more delending on whos managing
Absolutely you can.
It’s the general feeling, the “togetherness”, the unity.
Under Martin Jol we was tribal as fuck and al stuck together. The fans in the stands were all behind him and it created that buzz.
Every match day was something to look forward to.
We had our first European tours under Jol too if I remember correctly, since 1999!
so I would definitely make a case that you can love a club more depending on who is managing us.
Agree. home matches were a buzz to go to, crowd right up for it and a team on the front foot from kick off. We had similar under Harry but after the dross served up under santini jols tenure was like the club waking up from a coma
His sacking or more the manner of it was a low point for the club.
