What Poch has just done is quite incredible! Has a manager ever come out and said such a thing before, especially such a young manager? In this day and age we have been bought up on "there is no loyalty in the game" and there is little argument to go against this. Poch has just turned it on its head. (Sure actions speaks louder than words but this is quite unprecedented).

Every time a player has singed a new deal (& at Spurs there have been many) the media will still say the very next day "a contract means nothing" and then talk about a player going to a bigger team for more money. Having your manager lead from the front in this way certainly creates an atmosphere of honour and respect. Words that have emanated from the club under Poch's reign.

Loads of challenges ahead for us but I've never felt this confident about keeping everything together before.
 
Made me feel quite emotional watching that press conference.

Always expecting things to fall apart just round the corner but the club does feel different these days and Poch takes a lot of credit for that - instilling loyalty, trust and commitment in these young players and leading by example.
