Poch got us in a League Cup final and Semi-Final as well, in an FA Cup Semi-Final and a Champions League Final.


As if I care about trophies or not, I'll let my post history speak for itself. Being in favour of Poch doesn't mean that you don't want trophies.

"Again we're going to have the debate whether a trophy will take the club to the next level. I don't agree with it. It only builds your ego. The most important thing for Tottenham right now is to always be in the top four." do you agree or disagree with this statement? Because this is Pochettino's expressed philosophy, in his own words.

Charles Bronson (not the dead one).

I'd love to see what happens if this lot dared to slack under him like they have for the last four or so managers

I'd like to see him in charge if we were to draw Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers in the Cup.

Think Frank at Brentford has done a really good job there but I'm not sure he would be suited for us

He'd be our Potter at Chelsea...
Some managers have the 'big club' mentality... Some just look good at smaller clubs.

Unfortunately, we ARE a big club, but act, pay and behave like a small one sometimes....
We're caught between two stools: when it comes to the Cups, we're a big club, and a scalp...
When it comes to PL, we play like a small club when we're up against the BIG BOYS ...but wilt at the merest hint of a fight... Unless it's Leiectser/Wolves , then we saw the 'Big Club' Cup Spurs' who wilt at the plucky opposition hell bent on beating the BIG BOYS!

It takes a SPECIAL kinda manager to bridge THAT gap!

It seems like you're lacking the concept of time. Poch said that in a time that we needed to get top 4 more than trophies because we had a stadium to fund.

It's a bit more different now. As I said, if you want to be mad for the lack of trophies, Poch is not the person. The cunts upstairs are responsible for that.

The "Ego" part of the statement nails it down to being about more than just a short-term pragmatism......

Kane’s goal tally in the domestic cups is low compared to his overall record. This is because he cannot score if he is not playing. Successive Managers do not play him and that reduces our ability to get through difficult matches and has led to us being knockout by lesser team. Poch played Son at LB in a semi final but never in the league.

Poch is leading by a landslide, Poch who disregarded domestic trophies as a habit. I hope none of the people voting for him are among those complaining about our inability to win trophies.

Mate we've hired and tanked two of the most trophy-winningest managers in modern history. Nothing works for us in terms of hiring a manager who is more or less likely to get us one. At this point I'd rather we just played some fucking decent football, fuck the rest.

I honestly don’t know. I don’t really know does it matter who we appoint.

I’d love Pochettino back at some point but as I said, I really don’t think now is the right time.

With all that’s being said in the media today though from reliable sources, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Pochettino is in charge next week if we lose tomorrow night.
 
Over 50% is pretty clear. I'd imagine that percentage would be reflected throughout most of the fanbase. Personally i'd prefer those 2nd and 3rd in De Zerbi and Naglesmann but it sort of feels inevitable. Levy will go for the popular move and no release clause. Its his ideal sceanrio. Just when really.
