Manager Mauricio Pochettino

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Talking about the dressing room issues when he arrived, taking about Dier and United, discussing Marcus Edward’s behavioural issues. Talking about private conversations he had with former players prior to their departure. Taking about taking other managerial jobs such as the England job. All of it is absolutely needless, all of it completely at odds with the standard in the game. If you a player what certainty do you have that any conversation that you have with him won’t be serialised in another book?
What about them? SPECIFICALLY, you know what this word means yeah? Fuck me how many more times does one need to ask?

Right so him talking about mourinho having a chat with dier and discussing behavioral issues of someone from the academy are the reasons behind our dip in form. Man we were all so wrong about you, you really are full of insight and aren't just someone who shits on the club at any given opportunity.

I’m sorry if you cannot the grasp the above then there is lot much hope for you. It’s a very weird tact you are taking. How much more simple can I make it, people don’t like their laundry being aired in public, it often pisses them off. Players don’t respond to it well, O Leary lost the dressing with his book,Phil Brown lost the dressing room by doing his team talk in public. This is age of player power,it really doesn’t take much a lose a dressing room in today’s game which is why releasing such a book has no benefits but a number of risks.

What fucking laundry mate?
 
I’m not bitching about the forum, I’m bitching about the those who use the foul system to get rid of those who they disagree with. And if I do get another red you can focus on getting rid of the next one you disagree with and protect your space space from such harmful opinions.
I see a lot of disagreements on this forum without people getting red carded though, maybe people just feel there isn't a need for those who use this forum just to shit all over the team we all love with every post they make.

It’s the repetition and dominating page after page of threads that’s getting on my tits. It’s incredibly boring having someone consistently reiterate why they dislike Poch and his actions, then get aggro when people disagree. Before then going on and on about snowflakes and safe spaces. Time after time. It’s dull. To be fair though, he suggested putting him on ignore, which is exactly what I’m going to do right now.

And the irony is that I have not once said that I dislike him, in fact I have said on here he is the best Spurs manager in my time at he club. It’s probably best to put me on ignore and then you can stop seeing what you want to see.

Do you think the players weren't made aware they were being discussed in the book before it came out? And if so, why would it just start to affect them now? Most of what you describe are non issues IMO anyway. Edwards, MP publicly discussed his problems last year. Players that have gone are no skin off anyone's nose at the club now, most were unpopular in the dressing room when they were there anyway. I don't see how Poch's "if, maybe one day" style comments about the England job are tossing hand grenades into the dressing room either.

We don’t know if they were or not.

The point as I have stated numerous times already is that there is absolutely no need for any of this. The book was completely unnecessary. You may consider this a non issue and that may be. My point is why run the risk of unsettling the dressing room in an era where players hold such sway. It doesn’t take much these days and airing private dealings public is one way of doing that. The book may have absolutely nothing to do with our form, it may be wholly responsible for it, we don’t know. What we do know is that our form has declined since its release and that should warrant discussion.

You keep rambling on, "there was no need for the book", "hes airing out private matters" But you are still yet to say what in the book you are referring to that could of miraculously caused a dip in form.
