Sounds like it was just a tester to gauge fan reaction and they got the message.

Hopefully they get a similar reaction to the prospect of Poch coming back. Unfortunately I think there might be enough fans who want it to happen.

If it’s Poch or Tuchel I want Poch. Ideally I want a left field option like Gallardo, be brave.

I‘d rather us be brave but I feel like that’s not our style at the moment. It will be one part consideration about the football, but the other side will be about optics or anticipated fan reaction.

Going for a brave option will create problems because a lot of fans will be disappointed that it’s not a big name. Going for Tuchel will be sold as that he has some kind of affinity for Spurs and they’ll highlight his work at Dortmund.

Also, Nuno could be argued as being a “brave” appointment and I’m sure they are a little nervous about another mistake like that. If it weren’t for the complexity around Kane, mid way through the season, and the fans this generally frustrated then I could see them being bold.

If I had to guess it would be Poch. While I don’t think it would be right, Levy might look at it as a way to get Kane to stay, would instantly get a load of fans back on his side, and would allow him to keep trying to work miracles without significant investment.
 
At least if poch comes back we won’t have to listen every week how he needs to go to united or Madrid….
He might have learned hills are green….
 
It's going to be Poch. Honestly, as much as I love Poch, I'm not that bothered anymore. We're going to have some stability, but he's still going to be let down by the board and we're still going to gamble on targets, while he's going to have to accept it.
Until this board leaves the club, the future looks grim.
 
Tuchel is a fantastic, world class manager. Therefore, he should be one of the last we hope to get in as those kind of managers have demands and needs which our board will barefacedly lie to them and say they will provide for, but wont.
 
The way I see it there's 3 options

1. We start a proper rebuild and get a manager in who's committed and give him what he wants within our budget. This includes shifting out players we don't want and potentially taking a hit on them. As long as it's within our budget, let the manager and DOF do whatever the hell they want.

2. Get some lunatic in like Bielsa and play attacking football. Win 5-1 one week, then lose 4-3 next week. They won't need to invest much and the fans will at least be excited every week. The 4-3 against Leeds was the game I enjoyed the most this season.

3. Get a manager in who can win cup competitions. The amount that they're currently investing is enough to get Europa league spots each season, so why not make that the main priority instead? The big 6 are the only teams that normally win the fa cup and league cup and they usually arent even that bothered about it. Why don't we become the main team that actually tries in them, we might actually win one eventually.
