My biggest worry is the board clearly have no idea where they want to go with things. Jumping from Poch to Mourinho was one thing, but then to go to Nuno and then to Conte.. it’s erratic and wild.

Poch had us punching above our weight and dreaming of things we could have only imagined. People will say “you can’t forget his last 18 months”, but you also can’t forget the 4 years prior to that when he was one of the best coaches around.

Both Tottenham and Poch have had some time apart, seen other people and now it’s time to accept they are the best thing for one another.

I don't disagree, Poch wasn't perfect and his dillying before the CL final - and selection of Kane - were criminal. Poch ultimately carried the can for the players, who decided they'd had enough of his double training and so on. But you cannot realistically change 25 players.

The problem with Poch coming back NOW is that we still have 13+ players (loan or otherwise) still at the club, at least half of which get regular minutes in the first team. Poch would only really work with a complete fresh start, maybe Kane excepted.
 
The next one has to be about good football but he also has to really want to be here and improve us, not just a stop gap. Mourinho and Conte were just marriages of convenience. Nuno was a 12 month place holder that couldnt last 4 months. Tuchel and Enrique feels much the same, that we'd do for now.
 
It's Poch ,
it will buy Levy time till it goes tits up as usual.
He will be grateful for the position and easy for Levy to manipulate as he is slightly damaged goods and aware that a challenge for top 4 is all that is required.
Players will be mainly prospects with most being complete failures and financial disasters.
The football will approve but the club will be nowhere.
The cocksuckers will lap it up till it goes arse up.


No manager will be successful under these shackles but then success in a football sense is not want our useless overlords want but financial.
My club.
 
I think we are now in a downward spiral that I see no way out of . Kane not signing an extension I presume , Son playing like he has aged 10 years in 6 months , Lloris just LOL. All this on top of a massive number of average players we can’t shift and Poundland Kroenke controlling the purse strings

I am not sure there is a solution to what ails us , so I just want ENIC out and an attractive to watch team that fails . This continuous failing whilst serving up cold sick football to the fans has to end . No more videos from Baldy saying he understands our DNA and he wants an attacking , free flowing style of football , your actions betray you
 
Knowing Spurs/Levy, it'll probably be a case of Potter sacked, Conte walks and we end up with Potter (although I actually think Potter is a better manager than Chelsea are currently showing him up to be).
 
Poch back with a proper 5 year plan thrashed out and given money to get the squad he wants, I can’t see many other ways we get out of this shitshow we’re currently in. Poch could definitely get a tune out of the squad we have currently in my opinion, or at least make us infinitely better to watch

Conte puts 7 defensive minded players on pitch so straight away were on the defensive. Tedious football and wish media would stop lauding conte. Poch 1st choice or tuchel for me but I'm conscious that we dont want anymore chelsea rejects. Keep an eye on lopetegui at wolves.

I agree to an extent. We definitely need to move on the likes of Dier, Lloris, Sanchez and a couple of others.

As a club, I think he is the best fit. The crowd love him, he loves the club and he plays the football we expect. Whilst clubs are owned by countries and mad billionaires willing to spend £500m in 6 months, we’re going to struggle to win anything of note. A board that will invest in the players needed, and a recruitment team that is up to scratch is needed just as much.

Conte gone over the top with the new syrup, but we all know how this ends

I'm fucking terrified of what Poch does if he's given money. We still have Ndombele and Lo Celso on our books and guess who's to thank for that.

Paul Mitchell is one of the biggest losses this club had in the last decade.

It’s not Poch’s job. A proper football club the DoF and scouts understand Poch’s system and use detailed methodologies to find and get the targets. Obviously the manager should have some input but he shouldn’t be the guy scouting and if it was Poch or Levy doing it last time we are amateurs.

We went from Mitchell to Steve Hitchin and everything there after went to shit it appears.

Oh Hitchen is the 2nd most culpable person that we're in this mess (good ol' Uncle Daniel being first). They single-handidly ruined all the promise of this football club.
