Yeah, there is loads of evidence he is as in love with Tottenham as we are, the poor bastard. Evan as PSG boss he was still cutting about in Spurs gear. He still has his family in the home near the training ground and I’m sure would love to return there.
If he comes back and Levy destroys him with his usual bullshit I will fucking riot.
I’d love to know what went wrong in 2019 between him and Levy. Was it just lack of money or more such as Amazon / Personality clashes / Hitchin was having to put up with our trash Medical department also a factor ? ( i base this purely on the Amazon documentary where they seemed a little too “soft” )
Memories of Poch are great, but a little tainted by how it all collapsed. 2-7 @ home followed by a 3-0 away. Very dark week that one. And I could not find a way to argue he stayed back then.
Looking forward. The dream is he and Ossie meet someone down the horses who has a few hundred billion and give Baldy what he wants to fuck off. Ossie becomes Chairman & Poch wins the lot !

It would be great,
Ossie would make poch play his favoured 1-1-9 formation like in 93-94
Relegation form results from January onwards and saying that he'd leave if we won the CL might have had something to do with it.
I have that season on VHS. Some great goals scored (just plenty more conceded!)
EDIT: Talking shit - it is the 94/95 season I am on about. That opening game against Sheff Wed was great stuff!
Would you believe that the person who originally started this thread in 2014 recommending that we hire Pochettino got 8 dislikes?
I think that there were multiple factors. Amazon was one thing, Poch was apparently not super keen on it. But the filming probably helped fund our transfers that summer so he had to bear and grin it since the stadium had eaten up more money than predicted and had only just opened. But the show was obviously a Levy project rather than a Pochettino one.
There was a change of head in the medical department at some point in Poch's reign. And I think that is when the long injuries started. I don't know if it was between Poch and the old head, or one of Poch's staff. But there was some argument I believe in regards to wanting players back faster from injury treatment. And the head of medical left in protest.
But I think that the death knell was Poch hinting at leaving after the final. Ever since Redknapp flirted with the FA Levy has been super paranoid about backing a manager that isn't committed. The moment Poch cut that interview a bunch of red lights probably went off in Levy's head and his paranoia kicked off.
Neither party was completely blame free in it.
So, just to be clear, getting to the CL Final is thanks to Poch, losing that CL Final is thanks to Levy/ENIC?
The power of hindsight I suppose.
Especially Klinsman’s header
I agree with McCoist. But I'm not sure Poch would turn them down. He'd turn down the scum, but the chavs, I'm not so sure.
WUNDERBAR!
Wasn’t that the season where we were deducted 6 points which Sugar’s lawyers later got scrapped?
We initially got a £600,000 fine, a deduction of 12 points deducted for the 1994-95 season and a ban from the 1994-95 FA Cup.
That got reduced to six points but the fine increased to £1.500.00 and the cup ban still in place.
Another appeal removed the six point deduction and cup ban.
