6th place was an impressive finish with all the problems he had. Not sure why the Chelsea board wanted to throw all that work down the toilet. I thought they were on course to push for top 4 next season but they clearly prefer to have the team in crisis instead. Crazy.

He could do a lot worse than that.
Not a bad shout, that.
Thank goodness for that. I couldn't bear watching him in their colours.
Strange decision by their board, as Poch seemed to have developed a good team. Clearly, Boehly's ego is bigger than his brain.
Not that I want him back, think that ship has sailed. But I wish him no ill wherever he ends up.

That’s landing on your feet if he ends up there from the chavs.
He was dead to me when he agreed to join them cunch of bunts but now he's departed my love for him has been resurrected unlike for that bug eyed twat Jesus Judas Perez.....wonder what shirts his kids will be wearing next.
Those who contend he's never won anything should check his bank account, he's taken the bald one and Boehly to the cleaners on his todd.

The Premier League will try to thread the needle, penalizing City enough to say they've addressed the situation but not enough to call into question the legitimacy of City's run of championships. And if they pull that off they should then go and negotiate peace in the Middle East.
Americans shouldn't own Premier League teams. And I'm speaking as an American.
So outside a few cups won in the French farmers league with PSG and the illustrious Audi cup, this guy is basically the definition of a "specialist in failure".
Perhaps. But he had us playing the best football in decades at our peak. It was a marvellous time.
He did have a first XI capable of doing great things here but lack of depth ruined us. And that’s down to zero transfers for 2 years. And playing an unfit Kane in the final of the CL. Plus selling Dembele mid season when he should have been wrapped in cotton wool and rolled out for the massive games.
Nobody will ever convince me otherwise that a rested and invigorated Dembele would have stopped a lot of the rot.
Amazing player and whilst he was undoubtedly not someone we could call upon twice a week at that stage of his career, he was a game changer who could maul teams with his ability to keep possession at the most important times.
Remember the cosy meal with SAF?
Surely the Chelsea board wouldn't have wanted him to go, I feel like Poch has jumped rather than been pushed surely? Could be the transfers, I was thinking maybe he's fed up with trying to win the fans over who will be baying for his blood with every bad result regardless of how well he does, his association with us means he would have to win more than any predecessor to become one of "their" own, and maybe he didn't really want to be anyway? I don't know, I never really wanted to wish him any ill, the memories of his team still sit very fondly in my head, I'm glad it's been limited to one season with them cunts and they didn't win anything, now it can go down as a purely monetary decision.
Did anyone else notice in his farewell statement he thanked the board but not the fans??? Very telling.

I think it's possible to understand that he was hampered by some anaemic spending (as all Spurs managers are really) and that he was also quite capable of making some really stupid tactical decisions (Son at left back in a semi-final against the Chavs).
We should have won (something) with the squad we had at the very least, lesser squads have certainly achieved it and didn't get knocked out by fucking Colchester in the league cup.
His football was nice to watch, but that can only take you so far.
I'd take him back in a heartbeat. For better or worse this man just GETS our club, unlike anybody else who ha come since.
He would've understood why the vast majority of Spurs fans wanted us to lose to City last week.
Chelsea were stupid to sack him but glad they did, if they do well next season it's partly due to his good work whereas if they regress than they should've kept him.
Bayern, Man United or Milan next or someone else?
Good luck to him, still my favourite Spurs manager by a country mile.

It’s always about those cunts though when it comes to spurs.
They want something of ours, they think that they can make it happen. Been going on for years.
Thankfully levy (& this is the only credit he gets on this subject) made SAF wish list awkward and for that he is to be applauded. After that abomination where we sold Berba and ended up with that fucking donkey on loan in return, levy actually saw he was having our pants pulled down. Poch cosying up with SAF ended with nothing. Neville dropping his pants and parting his cheeks for Kane to move to Manchester (clearly aimed at getting him to the red scumirates of the north) failed miserably too.
I like Poch very much. He was far too decent a person to end up at Chelsea or United. He took the chav job and whilst it’s been a bad season for them overall, there were green shoots appearing and Palmer looks to be a world beater in the making.
Good luck to the tubby Argentinian.
Hope he fucks off abroad now again so I don’t have to be a pompous cunt and ignore him & the good times we had when he was here.
I'm willing to place a bet right now that Palmer doesn't put down the same G/A numbers as he has this season. They're fucking idiots for not realising they desperately need continuity and who knows what system the next guy will play and what players will be important in it and which ones won't?
