Yeh, none of these fuckers care.... If they ever were, they ceased to be supporters some time ago.

These content creators have been smart enough to realize that (faux) outrage sells and have monetized outrage against their own teams. I guarantee that Wobbie was making more money in the last throes of the Wenger regime than their smooth sailing at the beginning of this year. Their total collapse has probably been a financial godsend to them.
Anyone who mocks the club for lucre deserves a punch in the face.
 
Levy lets him down , Levy then sacks him , he makes it clear he wants to come back and Levy blanks him . I don’t blame Poch , still hope he fails because I detest Chelsea though
I can't blame Poch at all. Levy hamstrung him, sacked him, and Poch still loved the club so much he wanted to come back and finish what he started. This is all Daniel Levy.

Poch is deserving of a big job and he has to move on with his life, you can't expect him to go and manage Leicester in the Championship because Levy is too proud to admit that Poch made whatever good will Levy has left. Or that Levy made a mistake in sacking him, and the club's been in turmoil because of Levy's error after error after error ever since.

I hate that he's gone to Chelsea but it's a bit like dumping a girl who always wanted to get back together with you, and then getting mad that she's ended up with someone you don't like. You don't get to tell her what to do after you put her out on the curb
 
Know this is off thread but how is th puppy doing? he looks a lump
Thanks for asking. He’s a little twat but I love him to bits. He’s stopped shitting in the house which is a start but he has developed a dirty washing fetish. The washing bag isn’t safe. If he isn’t stealing from it he’s trying to hump it. And a croc fetish. And the missus spent half of yesterday chasing him up and down the garden after he pulled up a fuschia out of one of the pots and decided it was a great game of chase. The list is endless.
Definitely a challenging little character at time but he’s very sociable and everyone he meets loves him to bits.
 
Chavs already hounding him on twatter as Poch doesn't want Felix to stay on perm...
This will not last and will end in tears. Good
 

Furious Tottenham fan BURNS book about Mauricio Pochettino's time at Spurs following Argentine's move to Chelsea... as supporter brands ex-boss 'a f***ing turncoat'​

  • Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has agreed a two-year deal with Chelsea
  • Pochettino spent five years with Tottenham but failed to win a trophy at the club
  • One Spurs fan resorted to burning his copy of the best selling Pochettino book

A seething Tottenham fan responded to the announcement of Mauricio Pochettino’s instalment in the Chelsea dugout by burning a copy of the book written to commemorate his time in North London.
Months of speculation surrounding the vacant post at Stamford Bridge came to an end on Monday afternoon when Chelsea confirmed the ex-Spurs boss would be leading their sizeable rebuild.
It proved to be too much for one Spurs fan who resorted to burning his copy of Guillem Balague’s bestseller, ‘Brave New World’, which was released in 2017 and examines Pochettino’s remarkable revolution at the club.

The fan took to Twitter to broadcast his literary barbecue, posting the message: ‘How’s this for a barbecue you f***ing turncoat?’.

Ironically the tweet that precedes the burning of the book dates back to March 11, where he can be seen reacquainting himself with the text.

'Giving this bad boy another read,' the supporter had wrote. ‘I’d lost my old copy and found that the new version has a section on the lead-up to the [Champions League] final. Bonus.’

It’s unlikely this particular supporter was alone in exhibiting some anger towards the man who was at the helm at Spurs for five years.

While at Spurs, the club reached heights unseen in the last two decades as they reached a Champions League final and finished in the top four in four of his five full seasons in charge.

Pochettino, who got his first taste of silverware as a manager with PSG, was welcomed to Stamford Bridge in a club statement on Monday following weeks of rumours about who would ultimately replace Graham Potter as permanent boss.

'Mauricio’s experience, standards of excellence, leadership qualities and character will serve Chelsea Football Club well as we move forward,' it read.

‘He is a winning coach, who has worked at the highest levels, in multiple leagues and languages. His ethos, tactical approach and commitment to development all made him the exceptional candidate.'

The 51-year-old has joined the Blues on a two-year deal which is set to get underway on July 1 when he will become the club’s sixth permanent manager in five years.

Should he work the kind of magic he did with Tottenham, where he was hamstrung by financial constraints, Chelsea may yet see dividends from their unprecedented £600m outlay last season.

And Tottenham fans would have to endure the pain of seeing their old boss thrive at their bitter rivals while their own future remains unclear.
Not like tehTrunk to be an attention-seeking whore. Did he do this while wearing his elephant mask?
 
I didn't particularly want him to come back but if we're honest the only two managers who want to actually be at Spurs were/are Poch and Mason.

The rest need to be convinced which doesn't fill me with confidence.

I give Poch until about November before he gets his latest golden handshake to top up the kitty.
 
"Mauricio Pochettino has said that he was attracted to Chelsea by their winning culture"

He must be gutted. If he had waited another week, he could have got the Celtic job. A club with a far bigger 'winning culture' than Chelsea.
