AND there are thousands of hours of EPL footie transmitted and punditry hours to go with it but he hasn’t even got a regular gig on the telly. Maybe he doesn’t offer that much in terms of insight.

I'm slagging off Poch AND saying ENIC are to blame, there's lots of blame to go around unfortunately.
Personally having watched a lot of Sporting and Porto I really like Ruben Amorim and Sergio Canceicao, good young managers for the long term.
But those are just two I like personally but we can't go for another old head manager who expects to be given a 300m transfer kitty.
I haven‘t seen Roberto Martinez name linked with the post. He performed miracles at Wigan, not so great at Everton but they are and were a club in turmoil. I reckon he could get Spurs back to playing decent football, competitive in the league and really challenging for a cup win. He’s familiar with working on a limited budget and getting the best out of players.
Stop pretending we’ve any realistic chance of winning the league just because we’re hiring unemployed serial winners. Instead a few years of stability and a dose of reality is probably what’s needed right now.

Even someone as outspoken and successful as Conte is unable to get this board to back him so I don't know why are surprised Poch didn't do it.
Poch had more leverage but he wanted to keep things healthy and not push the issue and it slowly built up over the years and when he finally started getting louder he was a spent force.
You think he needs the money? Not everyone in football is interested in tv work ya know
We need a manager that wants to be here and loves the club.
After skimming through the 236 tweets that O'keefe sent just today for something interesting apparently Ancelotti might leave Madrid and Poch would be a candidate (although he believes Tuchel would be ahead).
More interestingly, he said that there are people within the Tottenham hierarchy who want to look forward and not back and don't like Poch.
This has unfortunately given me the slightest bit of hope that maybe just maybe the board actually have a plan in place.

same, also means fans will be back in enics pocket
rinse repeat
Yep, then we can sack him again. It just won’t take 6 years this time.We need a manager that wants to be here and loves the club.
If Kane is sold and Conte leaves this summer, the rebuild starts this summer. We need to find a project manager because we know that we will be buying younger players.
I voted for Poch as i think he would get us playing an exciting brand of football once again while bringing through some of our star youth players to a great level
but
my only doubt would be (like many of you have already correctly said)
How does he come back to an ageing crop of players that were Signed during his reign and handle them now when some of them need moving on for very different reasons whilst trying to reinvigorate some of them Kane,Son maybe get a tune out of Sanchez and think theres unfinished business with the now (waste of money N'dombele) because he probably is the only manager in the world that saw something good in him lol
I'd be more happy if Spurs bring in a manager who has the same qualities as Poch but has no emotional connection to the current sqad he inherited like Roberto De Zerbi or Thomas Frank
And those of you who still dont know anything about De Zerbi (pre Brighton) i suggest you watch how his side sassuolo (similar stature to Brighton) tore up Serie A a few years back and literally rewrote the tactical handbook on modern attacking football.

Here’s all you need to do. Think about the happiest time at Spurs in the last 10-15 years. Who was manager? It was Poch. He didn’t get us over the line but he got closer than anyone and his brand of football is fun to watch. He could get something going with Romero, Richy, Spence, Bentancur, Bissouma, and Kulu. Sell Kane and Son and Get him some good young players and he will have us back in the CL in two seasons.
Agree with this! I do think Conceição has shades of the Mourinho & Conte style though. There would be Spurs fans who won't like him
If Conte won’t sign new contract, and I’m not sure I want him to sign a new contract, get rid now.
bring back Poch. Sorted.
