We should be open to offers for all ofIs he any better than Ward-Prowse? Tom Davies?
I think the fact he plays for Tottenham is why he's got caps for England. He doesn't dictate play enough, and is too safe on the ball. Sometimes you need that, but he needs to take those risks now and again. If an offer comes in, sell him IMO.
Think with Conte you just have to accept its 2 seasons.As good a manager as Conte clearly is he really doesn't stick around anywhere too long does he?
Exactly. If he gives up at the slightest bit of a challenge, it just sounds small time as fuck. Running back home cause he can’t hack it as a big club.The potential for disaster is big. And Mauricio could ruin his management career for the next years. He fails with us again and is next job is Newcastle or Palace. He should stay in Paris and win stuff and build a CV
Yep. And that's why he's suited to the super clubs who change managers the split second they have a season where they don't win everything. I'm not sure that's suitable for a rebuild.Think with Conte you just have to accept its 2 seasons.

Genuinely feel this would be a huge mistake.
Im all for Poch back, at some point, but now would be an utter disaster IMHO.
Conte, Ten Hag or Potter would be my choices right now.
Save Pochs legacy for now, and reunite down the line when he and we are more suited for success.
Alas, I agree.Getting Poch back could be a big mistake.

Agreed. Certain wounds I feel still haven't healed. The only way I could get on board with this is if there is a significant change behind the scenes with a new DOF appointed. If it's the same as before then no. Too soon.
It makes zero sense for poch. No top top club will want a guy who quits his job after six months because he can’t deal with the pressure. It’s all a mess and I hope he doesn’t come. And nothing in the football structure would change. Levy, Hitchen and poch would procede to do the same as before.Exactly. If he gives up at the slightest bit of a challenge, it just sounds small time as fuck. Running back home cause he can’t hack it as a big club.
I want him back one day. But not now. The wounds are still too fresh and neither party has changed too much since parting ways.Alas, I agree.
There is a part of me that would absolutely *love* it. He is Spurs. He delivered some wonderful moments and it feels right; like the neat conclusion of a Hollywood movie that will lead to inevitable success.
But there’s a whole lot of wilful amnesia going on. That CL final broke him. We were fucking awful for 18 months. He did all that ridiculous flirting with RM on the eve of the final (still don’t know why he gets a pass on that). Doesn’t really resolve our recruitment problems. Squad will remain divided. And importantly feels like the sort of good will signing that will pave Kane’s sale.
Still, he is magic! And I’ll sing his name to the high heavens.
I just don’t think sport works like this.
