I miss him so much.
Yes the last year was wierd. I mean we were shit but we got to the champions league final!!! I said in another thread I remember buzzing when we finally qualified for the europa league under jol so the journey has been amazing.
He was the first manager since I was a kid and venables was there that I really believed in. Harry was good but I never trusted him and the fact that he considered Campbell to be brave always put a bad taste in my mouth.
Poch was everything you want from a spurs manager. He oozed class , he had links to our past with the argentinians, the football was high intensity and aggressive. And most importantly he had you believing. Those that knock him here would do well to remember how many times we have challenged for a title or got to a european cup final.
Yes it was our best team in decades but it was pochs team. He turned verts career round and brought in toby, he made walker reliable, he transformed rose. In midfield he got the best out of the legend that is dembele and let's not forget before poch Mousa was struggling. Remembering him saying dont worry about a dm I have it covered and then to everyone's amazement eric dier had the season of his life there. Then poch improves and takes wanyama . Harry's career exploded under poch, he took dele from league one to international superstar. This all happened under him.
Before him we had tim fucking Sherwood playing chadli in centre mid, poch didnt take over a well oiled machine.
I'm 41 and I'm thankful to the man who finally took us to the top table. Im thankful for the man that took us past the scum. I'm thankful for seeing my team in the biggest game in the world after he hadn't signed a player for 2 years or whatever it was.
In the end it probably was just that, the end. He looked tired and out of ideas but to me his a legend and always will be.
