Poch could hand over the running of the USMNT to Elon Musk, who would pare the squad down to the best 5 players (burn the dead wood) ...and Trump could make sure they win that lovely trophy next year.

There are question marks around Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou and it is easy for fans to call for someone like Mauricio Pochettino to return when they felt like they had success under him even without winning trophies.Tottenham Hotspur FC - Transfer news, results, fixtures, video and audio
The home of Spurs on BBC Sport online. Includes the latest news stories, transfers, results, fixtures, video and audio.
Postecoglou could build something similar if he is given five years like Pochettino. If he is given what he wants and time to work and is measured on that then that is a more reasonable way to see whether he is taking the club in a different direction or not.
It's about how we measure success. Pochettino got to a Champions League final where Spurs lost to Liverpool, and consistently qualified for the competition, but did not deliver a trophy.
It's always difficult for managers to come back. They will always get respect if they have done well at the club previously but then if things start going badly a well-respected figure can lose that status quite quickly with the fans.
It depends if the club view that as the right direction or as a step backwards. Jose Mourinho returned to Chelsea and was an absolute legend from his first stint and again at the start of his return, but things unfolded and there was a bit of a sour taste when he left after the second spell as he lost the dressing room.
The difference between those two managers is that Mourinho was a serial winner whereas Pochettino has not done that.
If they are looking for someone to get the fans back on board it is a good option but is Pochettino the right man to change and progress the club? I probably don't think so.

in the event that he returns, I give it a maximum of five months before someone calls him a fat Argie fraud.
the BBC will let anyone write garbage, I mean articles these days...Fara Williams - the ex Chelsea and Woolwich player…
Nothing to see here

It’s so bad, they should have just paid Merson to write it.
I know, wound me up. Give Postecoglou the 5 years Poch had is off the charts. In the same timeframe that Postecoglou has had Poch had taken us from the shambles of the Sherwood era to challenging for the title.
Merson can't operate a pen or a keyboard, he'd have to grunt it out
Offensive to apes tbh
Here he is.
erm, "Totting-ham"...
