I don't necessarily see this as a negative.

it's Potter or Rodgers
Why have you got to do this to me Nabil?
Would be 2 of the obvious, easier choices.
No reason to rush to either, especially as both are on some kind of severance package, without replacements named.
Part of me hopes so. That way I’ll have even less of a reason to completely fucking waste my time next season and watch us play.
They were 8th, not far off of the EL
The look on his face in that moment made me think that it's finally getting to him.
It was Southampton… they finished 8th his only full season in charge. He came in the season before after they sacked the manager because they were in Relegation fight.
Poch did fine at Espanyol as a glorified Ryan Mason.
He did display the beginnings of his less-than-stellar transfer market eye there though.

You're half right.
Who is Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy? Net worth, family, salary...
Following Antonio Conte’s exit as Spurs boss, we profile chairman Daniel Levy, who has now been in charge at the Premier League club for over 20 years.
en.as.com
"In February, the Telegraph reported that Levy was paid a salary of £3.265m as Spurs chairman in 2022 - up £500,000 from the previous 12 months. However, that is significantly less than the overall £7m he pocketed four years ago. That sum included a £3m bonus for overseeing the construction of the club’s current home ground, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which opened in April 2019 after costing £1bn to build."
That he's the highest paid chairman in the league notwithstanding, these bonuses are not extraordinary for head executives.
What was Southampton?
I said he left Espanyol in a relegation battle, which is correct and then went to Southampton and got a 35% win percentage.
I thought you were saying he had Southampton in a relegation fight.
I wanted a regime enthusiast to correct my embellishment.
It's important to get facts right.
I also love the fact that you highlighted Levy being the best paid chairman in the Premier League but added the caveat;
" these bonuses are not extraordinary for head executives".
Totally justified then?
Lived in Australia in 2003 for a year and that is a long running program called “the world game” if I remember correctly? I used to watch it for a laugh as it was so amateur, the pundits on there make Merson look like an intellect
Nope. He was good at Southampton. Improved players, got the best out of them and played young players. Could argue he laid the foundations for future managers because Koeman went there and bettered anything Pochettino ever managed there.
Sort of manager we could do with now, regardless of their name value. Ange mostly ticks those boxes. So did Slot. So does Nagelsmann. It's a shame we didn't get Slot through, not going to be upset with Ange. Because of the state we find ourselves in, he's someone we could do with in all honesty.
It's about getting the right fit for the club right now.
Can't be fucked anymore.
Even if Nagelsmann ends up on the scene again, will believe it when it happens.
Slot was interesting but sounds like they didn't follow through so still don't have a clue what they want or they do and nobody knows what that is.
I like Ange better than Slot. He’s a disciple of JDP and you can see well worked transitions and combinations when his teams attack. Very different to managers like Gerrard and Lennon who won the Scottish League before just by getting it into forwards who were so much better than 99% of their opponents in Scotland.
Thing is, before the stadium that was fine.
Most Spurs fans would have accepted that was the reality that Poch inherited and build a team that massively over achieved.
Now Levy has the stadium and unfortunately for him, Poch raised the expectations of what was possible. If the club wants to continue progressing instead of regressing, his whole concept of wage bill structure and transfer budgets may not cut it.
If the club could really build the academy and give the football philosophy a real identity, i,e., Dortmund, maaaaaybe it could work.
