I'm predicting it's going to get as toxic in that stadium next season as when west ham ended up invading the pitch and going over to the two Dave's a few seasons back. I'm going to give my money to clubs that need it like orient and Enfield. Atleast they don't just see you as a cash cow. Will not put another penny into this club (that includes going to a game) while these silly out of touch cunts run this club. Absolute jokers.
 
I'm in two minds as to the most depressing thing about this proposed development.

The manager himself

Or that some of our own fans have already started to justify it.

It's like they get some kind of sordid, sexual relief from Spurs being the laughing stock of football
Look at who I just quoted, all I keep seeing is "give him a chance" "at least we have hired someone" "it might work out"

It's just fucking hilarious how brainwashed some people have become with Levy and his band of crooks, after EVERYTHING that has happened over the last few years and everything that has happened with the ESL, passing up on Conte the day after renewals and all the evidence that points to Levy being a greedy little liar people STILL think he has the best interests of the club at heart.

He could hire Mason for another season and people would defend it, I truly believe that.
 
You have to support the DOF and his choice as manager. But if it goes wrong it will be carnage for levy. He won't get away with blaming the DOF he courted the world's best and then decides on this fella. Tottenham will become very hostile to levy if this goes south. It looks small Time ìf that transpires to be true whl will soon become very toxic. Imagine if we slide to 10th behind west ham, Woolwich and Everton with the knowledge if levy pushed the boat out he could of got conte, ten hag or poch it will be fucking murderous for levy.
 
Everytime Levy makes a stupid penny pinching unambitious decision that has disaster written all over it and people contest it for valid reasons we get the defenders coming out in force calling people melts.

Fair play to Daniel, he really has created a cult at this club, I would be impressed if he wasn't destroying the football club I have loved for 30+ years before my very eyes.

His penny pinching will backfire, yet again, this time he will blame the DOF and his cult fanbase will also blame the DOF and shift blame away from Daniel, rinse and repeat etc.


So boring isn’t it. “ get behind the team “ “ stop being melts”

nope, I won’t get behind them and I refuse to support this mob in charge of our club. I want them gone and I hope everyone does everything in their power to make it as toxic as possible. Don’t direct the anger towards the manager. Direct it towards Levy and ENIC. Blood sucking cheapo leeches. Fuck them.
 
I wonder what this mob was saying
when Pochettino was hired from Southampton? Same tune as this?

I'm just happy that it seems that we are getting a new coach that plays attractive football. We wouldn't win any titles next year with Conte, Pep or Klopp either. So looking forward to watching Spurs games will be something that I'm looking forward to.

Everybody also is pointing at Levy. I'm pretty sure this is the new DoFs appointment.

I regret the last hour of my life reading all the melts bullshit on here.
As one of those melts, I hear what you are saying, BUT:

Poch replaced Sherwood, who was absolutely hated by the fanbase.
Poch had done an excellent job at Southampton.
Our squad had a lot more promise to it then than our current one does. I mean look at our defenders now.

I don't think the appointment of Poch was met with any disgust. I think at the time I wanted Benitez and was very much 'wait and see' with Poch. The Southampton positives were there.

This appointment just doesn't compare and given how long it has taken, it feels like a total farce. I'm a former backer of Levy but I am now sick of the cunt and want him out.

Here's a sample of the posts on the 1st page of the Poch thread...

"Would be the next Ramos for us....face it mate were cursed."

"Southampton fans cannot wait to get shot of him. They actually want to gift wrap, and give him to us. Ominous. Look at their form in the league, its shit."

"I don't think Pochettino is the answer to our problems. I'd rather stick with Sherwood and hope he can keep the team together until Van Gaal is done with the World Cup."

"No thanks. I used to rate him before, but not anymore. Not to mention that they are on a downward spiral in the league right now, just like Swansea are with Laudrup, another overrated coach in my opinion.

He is way too similar to AVB in that he is a young and unproven manager. Based on that alone, Levy will not go for him. Sherwood beat him with a team that was just recovering after a 5-0 home loss and going down in the cup against a team that is relegation fodder this season.

He would definitely not be an improvement over Sherwood. At least Sherwood knows the players really well and seems to be able to communicate better with them than AVB. Pochettino doesn't even speak English that well."

"Was at St. Mary's when we played them away. They were by far the worst organised defensive unit (and yes, I'm including their pressing) we have played against this season."

"If his name was Frank Smith no one would be interested in him but as he is the latest 'carlos kick a ball' in managerial form he MUST be good.

Anyway no thanks I would rather stick and see where Tim takes us and hopefully a young english manager can get us some good results before now and the end of the season to shut these fucking idiots up who think all foreigners are either god like players or managers."

"can't see any reason to fire sherwood for an underperforming young manager.."

"Couldn't be more uninterested. He seems like an alright manager but why would we want to bring in a THIRD manager this year for someone who is just okay. Especially when we're on a good run."

"No thanks - I'd rather stick with interim Timmeh and hope a decent name is still keen to take is following the WC but won't hold my breath tbh. We are busy making quite a name for ourselves as far as management treatment is concerned."

I didn't hate Sherwood. I actually liked the Sherwood days and thought it was harsh to sack him, but had nothing against Poch. I'd have had Sherwood back again now, but seems like he's doing something else...
