I can easily do that......if Poch isn’t to blame, and every single player is underperforming because they are cunts and want him out, then while I will sympathise with Poch and feel that player power is not exactly desirable, I will still back the squad.......because whether it’s Pochs fault or not, losing the dressing room is not a trait I want in a manager of this club.

There would be less upheaval replacing a manager than every senior player.

If there is a chance that Dele, Eriksen, Kane, Toby, Rose and Jan perform to the level they did, under someone else, then I will take that chance all day long rather than start over with another 5yr plan.

It’s very easy to answer a hypothetical if you want to. You don’t want to “engage” in it, but you are happy to engage to tell me you don’t want to answer.
Why? Obviously you’re stumped.

Throwing all your weight behind Poch, but bury your head in the sand to the POSSIBILITY Kane might be one of the rebels.

(Sigh...) You just don't listen, do you?

I'm not throwing all my weight behind Pochettino...

I don't know what has caused the current problems, neither do you, it could be a number of factors.

I have never said it is all the players' fault.

I'm just Pochettino should be given more time.

And I'm not going to engage in some 'Poch vs Kane - he goes or I go debate' because it's pointless and is only being discussed because it is some rumour going round that supports the arguments of those who think Pochettino should go.

If it really has come down to that, then it highlights another kind of potential problem, player power undermining the manager to the point where he gets kicked out.

I don't believe that to be the case at Tottenham and I really hope it isn't because it is not the type of issue that just goes away and it will be inherited by Pochettino's eventual replacement from day one.

why the fuck would I want to talk to you about football, what would I possibly gain from a conversation with someone who (in their tortured mind) is always right?

You don't talk to anyone about football, you go to war, trying to batter people to death with your turgid and boring opinions and agendas.

I'll save my football conversations with rational and open minded people who can accept contrary views and accept the possibility that their own opinions might actually not be right.

like normal people do

The revisionism is almost at the point where Poch is a bit like Bill Nic and Burkinshaw.

He’d have won the the league and CL if Levy bought Ronaldo, Griezmann, DeBruyne, Neuer, Kanté, Manzukic and Umtiti.

THATS how good he is

The only true measure of his abilities as a manager will be when he leaves Spurs and goes to a club that demands success, and by that I mean trophies and titles. At the moment, with Spurs, his talents are shrouded in a misty aura of 'what if's' , 'it's Levy's fault not Poch's' and 'we should be grateful for what he has achieved'.
If he goes to a huge European club that backs him 100% financially and buys whoever he asks for then we shall see if he can make it in the intense heat of pressure which exists at the very,very top level of club football in Europe.
I am not saying he won't be successful, simply stating that his next club will be one of the major defining moments of his managerial career.

In the light of my Poll that you mentioned Vince, i think you should take the anonymity option away from yours.

Be interesting to see who all the hypocrites are.

Taking it away now would mean that no-one would vote on another anonymous poll again in case the anonymity was later removed. Be a bit like Hilary Clinton demanding to know who voted for Trump or the Government demanding the names of Brexit Out voters. It's enough to know what the overall opinion is of the poll, no need for some sort of malicious witch hunt so members can be 'named and shamed' on here for the pleasure of others.

That's a fair point I suppose.

Well I can assure you (and John) that most of the people voting Poch In are Woolwich fans passing through.
