I wouldn't want him back without it or else it would be more of the same of the last 18 months.

I wouldn't want him back without it or else it would be more of the same of the last 18 months.
PSG, Juventus or Bayern all logical moves.
Anyway, he’s my favourite Spurs manager, IMO he built a connection with the fans that goes beyond football. I’ve held the view that we needed time apart and he will come back again.
What rubbish. Of course he had form. What about players being selected for international tournaments where there’s weeks between season and tournament then? Should they not be selected on merit of form?
This idea that he “flirted with the Madrid job and never turned it down”
He was literally asked by a reporter something along the lines of “but no one can turn down Real Madrid” and his reply was “well I did, so you can” If that’s not shutting them down I don’t know what is.
You can tell who aren't proper Spurs here.
They don't get the parallels between Jol and Poch and how we can like people that don't win us stuff. Because their character is bigger than simply winning. And Spurs is bigger than simply winning.
The same people that say we can't like Peter Crouch because he didn't win us anything. Or Van Der Vaart.
They don't get that Spurs, proper Spurs, are bigger than simply the game on the pitch.

This is what John, Arc, 5 and Hood don't get. They don't feel that connection because they don't go and don't know what being Spurs is.
Poch is proper yid.
No balls to even @
I never wanted Poch sacked - you did - it's all there in the posts
And now you've predictably backtracked to use it for trolling to start a cunt-off - laughable
Relationship goes beyond results? In a results orientated business? Laughable statement to make. Results weren't bad they were terrible. 25 points from 24 league games - that's Juande Ramos relegation form.
Again you be would espousing this drivel even if had taken us down because according to you our relationship goes beyond results right?
The level of revisionism at play is quite something - we experienced the Pleat '87 team over 4 seasons and the primary cause of that is never held to account.
And not only is he not held to account for that but there is actually a clamor to get him back because in the minds of his acolytes that doesn't really count.
Again its a sad reflection of the state of the modern game when the custodians of the club put the interests of a paid employee over the club they purport to love.
Where this morning did I say I didn't want Poch sacked at that time?
If you post it, I'll leave the forum forever.
Here's something I said...
Your desperation for my attention is cute. One day you'll get to WHL mate.
If we got relegated (LOL) that would have no bearing on Poch as a person and as a character and why we love him.
You're only interested in Spurs if we win? Telling.
Can we not like VDV either because he didn't win stuff here? What about Crouch?
Poch could have stayed and built a legacy if clowns like you didn't turn against him, poisoning the atmosphere and now you're trying to pretended you're some kind of Poch defender. As I said - your flip-flopping is laughable
Yea, but where did I say I didn't want Poch sacked this morning as you say?
Only a couple of pages. Should be easy to find.
Why do those two quotes make him not a yid?
You do know there are #properyids that played for other clubs?
Jimmy Greaves left us for West Ham don't you know.
So a manager could relegate us but as long as he has a good character all is fine - uber lol to that one.
I'm interested in protecting the interests of the club and ensuring that it reaches it's goals and safeguards it's traditions. Thats the job of a supporter - it's not to put the interests of a chairman, manager or player above the club which is what you are doing.
Pochettinho wasted one of the clubs best group of players, we were the only top 6 six not to win anything in his time despite inferior sides doing so. And it wasn't just due to a talent issue with the man it was a also his derisory attitude towards the domestic cups which have defined this club history.
You talk about characters -it's just sad that we have so many pathetically weak minded individuals in our supporter-base such as yourself.
In terms of judging him as a person, yes.
Someone getting relegated in football means fuck all about someone as a person.
No wonder you have no friends. First sign of failure and you ditch them.
You keep not answering the question. Are we allowed to like Rafael Van Der Vaart? He didn't win us anything.
Because its a job to these people - surely, surely any one learned that after Campbell.
They are not here for the love of the club - they are here because the club is giving them multi million pound contracts.
Pochettino came out with the same comments about Espanyol, this is what he had to say about PSG whilst he was still here
The level of naivety amongst some of you is quite something.
Haha, you're so silly.
No player/mamanger can love the clubs they are at.
I'd love to take a holiday in your head. Amazing.
Who cares about character? Alex Ferguson was thoroughly dislikeable character but arguably the games best ever coach. This isn't X Factor - its about getting results with the resources available to them and Pochettinho failed in that regard.
And what on earth are you rabbitting on about Van Der Vaart - one is a player, the other a manager. VDV role was to perform to the best of ability on pitch which he did. Pochettinho's role was to create a team from the talent he was given and achieve results with that. He was given a group of players which was one of the best in the league and one of the best in the clubs history and failed to win anything with it.
So you can like someone within football irrespective of whether they win you something.
Finally getting that cleared up is a relief.
