Serious question- not trolling, not wishing to wind anyone up-- I literally just don't get it. I keep reading on here, over and over and over again, that:
-We must stick with Poch because we always fire our managers too quickly; as such, we must stay with our current coach lest we be the laughing stock of the league.
-We must stick with Poch because he hasn't yet had nearly enough time to correct things; in fact, he ought to get at least two full seasons- minimum- before we even think of reevaluating his position.
-We must stick with Poch because we need to play in a discernible, systemic fashion- as opposed to the "Helter Skelter" approach of previous administrations- and he is the man to implement this.
-We must stick with Poch because a youth movement is the way forward, and he is the man who will develop and integrate our young players in the future.
-We must stick with Poch because Tottenham are about playing football with flair and excitement; he will make this happen.
-We must stick with Poch because other clubs (Ars*nal and Man U, to name a few) have stuck by their managers and enjoyed long-term success because of this.
-We must stick with Poch because we need someone who can pick the right players for us, someone who can spot talent on the open market and get said player into our squad.
-We must stick with Poch because in addition to acquiring talented players, Poch will also pick the right players. Talent only goes so far- what is needed is talent that fits. Poch knows what he wants and needs. He will get the correct men for his system and he will fuse them into the team in keeping with his overall footballing philosophy.
I could go on and on but I think I'll stop there. So here are my questions:
1) Why do you feel he will do any (or all) of the above? What is it about him- either in his past or in the present- that gives you this inclination?
2) What about him do you like? What good things has he done thus far at Tottenham?
3) What aspects of his coaching do you currently dislike? Has he done anything to make you begin to question your faith in him?
4) At what point do you say "we hired the wrong guy again- and he needs to go. He is not the answer for us and the longer he is here the worse off we will be."
5) Lastly- could anyone- given time- coach Spurs? I mean this. This whole "give him time"-mantra is based mostly upon the fact that he is a professional who- if given time- will right the wrongs at Spurs. Would the same go for Tim Sherwood? Or Juande Ramos? If not, why not? What is the difference between him and them?
