Man I hope so more than anyone, last season was a fuck up of beyond spurs proportions, baldini has to step up and I do hope Poch takes no shit from any of the suits
I would actually prefer Baldini take a step down

Personally I would have preferred FdB. I know there is risk to both, but Poch gives me the AVB vibe all over again. As the old saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.Why are you so anti Pochettino ? Who do you want to get the job?
Sadly, it appears we're heading for another managerial master-stroke appointment by a man who appears to knows less about football than a PE teacher (no Tim, I'm not looking at you)
One would have imagined he learnt his lesson with the last media-created flavour-of-the-month manager who couldn't speak English and a few years later with a man who he clearly didn't trust enough to implement his long-term vision
Yes, I'm sure FdB would have (potentially) costed us a few more bob but how many times in the past has arguing over 5 pence costed us dearly - Moutinho, Willian, etc. just to name a few
This clown is a nothing man, blown up by a pathetic media agenda, possibly half-fueled by his agent and built on results poorer than some managers below him (including Pulis!). Absolutely no substance or indication of quality, experience or long term plan besides taking credit for players who were already at the club (Comolli's men anyone?) and a few wins against relegation fodder. Hipsters - assemble and commence circle-jerking - his name is of Latin origin!
If AVB was a side-step from Redknapp (separate debate all together) than surely this is a step backwards? How can fans who less than six months ago wanted AVB's head on a stick following 2 draws and a loss all of a sudden find themselves contempt with a far inferior solution? How are we going to progress, attract and most importantly retain our quality players with such names? Is this entire premise built on the bizarre assumption he would resurrect Lamela's career simply as a result of his nationality?
I couldn't give less of a bulldog's paw how 'unpopular' opinion against Dan is on this forum, and I appreciate the 100+ great aspects ENIC have done for the club over the last decade - but appointing managers is a separate argument all-together (my only gripe with him) and it appears we're heading down the road of utter mediocrity and hilarity all over again. Same old Spurs.
Rant over
I would actually prefer Baldini take a step down, i.e. away from transfer selection. But yes, your point remains nonetheless the same that we're going to have to do better at finding more compatible targets this summer.[/QUOTE
It'll be quite funny if Poch turns out brilliant at Spurs, just based on the negativity so far.
Where's the optimism? This was one of the reasons AVB failed.
(One of the reasons, before a barrage of nonsense appears about "He made Ade play with the kids")
You need help, buddy - I'm worried about youI hope our fans arent really gonna start acting like abunch of spoilt miserable cunts. Sure it aint LvG but fuck it we aint man u. The beauty of football is Poch could do agreat job if he gets the right support. Prolly aint gonna happen but fuck it one can hope. I reckon if Jesus came down to manage Tottenham loads of our fans would still be pissed off lol
Drugs are bad, mmmkayDo you have drugs, i need more drugs so i can ride the magic rainbow
I haven't watched enough of Soton to know if this is true or not. The stats say they finished 8th and were joint 8th highest goalscorers along with Swansea. Under Sherwood, Spurs outscored them as well as gaining more points, but apparently we didn't play exciting football. Mmmmm....
Swindon you mean?Maybe Southampton will appoint Sherwood so we can have real comparison......that would be fun
