Two rounds further than Arry.....tad ironic two days after hes suffered the biggest home defeat in all competitions since the club was founded
Yes they were working on less than rivals like Poch but neither got us to 2nd in the league or a CL final. As I said I am quite a fan of Jol and Redknapp but Poch has been our best manager in my lifetime.
So you want us to get relegated then win the Championship, are you just looking for any trophy? We won the Audi Cup, that beats top four any day.
He won the league he was in, and two promotions before that, and then kept a team with an 11k capacity in the top flight for 4 straight years.
Apparently, Bournemouth have spent more than us and have a better squad though, thats why Howe is shit because they would have won the PL if he was good
So if the other managers had 3 more years they would have qualified for the CL? Sherwood, Hoddle, Pleat, lets get one of those back and give them 3 years and let's see how they do.
Neither were called the best manager in Europe, the 3rd best in the world due to a UEFA shortlist, the best manager in Spurs recent history, the best man manager, the best coach, the best at getting average players to perform world class, earned 9M a year and had 450M spent on players though
So if the other managers had 3 more years they would have qualified for the CL? Sherwood, Hoddle, Pleat, lets get one of those back and give them 3 years and let's see how they do.
Im not talking about them though Im talking about Harry and Jol.
Jol finished 1pt off 4th and Harry got to the CL quarters and finished 4th twice.
In half the time Poch has been here.
Ok so if we got relegated and then Poch took us up as Champions in the Championship would that show he is a winning manager.
We are a prem team and work in the realities of that. Could Eddie Howe do a job? Maybe but most people would probably in light of everything particularly our stadium move and larger revenues coming in get a proven winner at high level.
If Poch left Id want a Benetiez, an Ancelotti, Simeone, Conte even. A manager who can deal with big egos, knows how to deal tactically at the highest level and can also bring in the big names should we wish to go for them. Part of the reason we can go for managers like this is because Poch has had us playing at a higher level for a while.
The amount spent is not really comparable, it doesn’t include net not does it take into account the unbelievable amount of money that has come into the game and thus inflation in the market. We are still outspent mainly by our rivals.
Do you reckon he has ever won the meat raffle in his local?
Winning starts somewhere....
Winning starts somewhere....
Of course it would, because he would have wona title and it would show that he has the ability to learn and adapt. Doesnt silverware count if you´re not in the PL now?
Ive never said I specifically want Howe, Ive said he´s a good manager thats achieved real things in the game and Id support his appointment
So would I except Benitez as I didnt like what he did recently at Newcastle. I thought they were abysmal
I liked them both but Harry lost a semi against Portsmouth and MJ lost a 3-0 lead against Chelsea in the FA cup, are you sure they would do any better than Poch?
Thanks for the runners up medals Poch one to tell the kids about.
So under Redknapp we had massive net spend? Does the 158M spent in his tenure become something else because Poch had more?
Can you explain what you mean by the amounts spent cant be compared?
I just compared them: Poch had 450M and Harry 158M, both with minimal net
Pretty much, I can't relate to that. We are a prem side not a championship side.
Pretty sure theyd win a domestic with 450M spent on players of their choice given the same time frame Poch had
They where shit because they had nothing but Benitez made them hard as fuck. They where boring yes but that was required to stay in the prem and stabilise, he did a very good job there.
Harry was a good manager but Poch was better for the club. By some margin.
We just lost to a division 4 side and regularly get done by champo level bottom half shite.
A manager that can win the Champo with a tenth of the budget of most of the teams around him maybe shouldnt be laughed at.
If Poch wins a Carabou, will it still be Mickey Mouse, or will it be good again
