Yes I'm a Spurs fan. We need to be real. We can all quote Bill Nicholson doesn't make one more Spurs

I thought the quotes were from Tim Sherwood actually

I don't think that will happen. Levy will allow him to fall on his sword. A statement such as "I have taken the club as far as I can within the boundaries given to me. I leave behind a legacy of positiveness and hope my successor continues with the project that we have built."

Under the circumstances Poch has done a fantastic job getting us anywhere near CL this year, it’s just the usual Spurs capilutation leaves the sour taste, especially as it could in all likelihood have been avoided with some investment. The way we’ve been throwing matches lately was started in the boardroom in the summer, no doubt.

The transition to the new stadium was always going to be tricky both Levy and Pochittinho really have been majestic in how they've dealt with both scales of the football club... overall the fans too have been brilliant especially those of a certain age that understand this club and how far we've come. It would be a crying shame if Poch felt the need to leave now (in many ways he's kept to the deal), was forced out by fans or whatever. The five year plan was to compete and get CL and open a pathway for our development players to come through. Now I believe Poch is well on target and the next step is to invest smartly in the transfer market.

You can't say that , you might be accused of not being a Spurs fan

I don't think that he will leave. Hopefully lessons will have been learned both on and off the pitch. One way or another the transfer windows have not been great and whilst a massive overhaul is not what is needed, we do need those two or three astute signings to offer more dimension to the squad.

He's made some mistakes in recent weeks, I'll give that but for me I feel like he wasn't backed in the summer in my opinion. then has had to navigate the stadium fiasco and I feel like everything that people were worried about would happen in the summer is now coming to fruition and now he has dissenters. I absolutely don't want him to leave no matter what happens because I believe he deserves the opportunity to be backed and playing at our actual ground.

His mistakes tactically and the squads sudden lack of intent on the pitch in/over the last four league games have been the 10 point gap we have pissed away.

He had a choice in the winter again and chose to be bullish about it. No that doesn't take away from the disaster of the summer window, but he allowed Dembele to sold, and he chose not to strengthen or at least add one or two players who could have added something to the squad.

He talks about hard decisions in the summer, but the now is going to cost us by the looks of things.

They are both at fault.

Sorry what is your point.

Will you agree Poch has done a tremendous job under such testing circumstances i.e No preseason due to the world cup. No signings all season. All teams have injuries but we've had more than our fair share. Playing at Wembley. No real home advantage.

We are in the hunt to finish in the top 4. We are in the QF of the CL.

He had done a tremendous job up until about a month ago. Currently our league form is 1 from 12 ... You can't fuck up in that manner at the pointy end of the season.

As far as the Champions League goes, you think we're going to go any further? We can't even beat two teams scrapping for their lives at the wrong end of the league. We're mixing it mainly amongst the big boys, great for the bank balance, and that's about it.

That’s is so depressing for a Sunday night ...

Please. I get the pain but be realistic... We've played a hell of a lot of games this season, it's not over yet. I get it is F- ing frustrating, a week ago we had faint hopes of winning the league now were looking over our shoulder wondering if we'll actually finish in the top 4. In Poch defense he usually gets a tone out of the squad so lets wait and see how things pan out.

Fair do's.

I'm usually the one airing views similar to yourself, but after what I have watched (outside of the Champions League fixtures) we're treading water and in danger of going under.

Poch needs to learn to use the hairdryer.
After yesterday’s second half performance, Fergie would have made sure that the players don’t forget that in a long while.

Time for the hair dryer was a couple of weeks ago.

Nonsense.
He'd have to be an idiot to walk away from 4 years remaining on his contract with no recompense.
Theres a reason managers hardly ever resign these days.

I didn't say Levy wouldn't pay him his full contract...I said he would allow Poch to leave under his terms and not make it appear like he had been dismissed. I've no doubt Daniel would do that rather than appear to be the villain.

If we don't get top 4 this season it will be every bit as much down to Levy as Poch.

This talk of Poch getting sacked..... seriously?

Us Spurs fans haven’t had it better since the early 60s and we want to sack the bloke responsible for that?

Archibald&Crooks · Mar 10, 2019

Levy is not about to sack Pochettino or finagle his departure. Blimey, even I don't think he's that fucking stupid. One would hope the (possible) bad news of us not getting CL would be received a lot more pragmatically by those at the club than by the knee-jerk onions of us fans who pretty much only look at things through eyes clouded by passion.

A few weeks ago we were hoping against hope that Pochettino would show some loyalty, show some character, show that with him actions speak louder than words. The past week all I've seen is talk about him going, people wanting him to leave and suchlike. We're such brilliant fans when things are going well.

Personally I think he will grow as frustrated with events as he did with Mike Dean and have a long chat with Daniel....and he will be allowed to walk out with dignity and grace. Just my opinion but time will tell.....

I agree with you. But people are talking like we've no hope, it's absolutely amazing how many negative fans there is.

There's a huge negative mentality swirling around this Club and it needs to stop.

We've had a really bad spell but top four is still eminently achievable.

Players coming back, and I trust Pochettino to get us going for the run in.

He's done a remarkable job and those who are writing us off now don't understand the value of our manager.

I firmly believe we'll finish strongly and finish third.
