I like your measured arguments, even when I have a different take on things to your own. Fair play for going out of your way to keep the discussion constructive.What I find annoying is the sensationalism that has to exist around everything. Fans slag off the media for it but do it just as much themselves. The idea that Poch says something in a presser and that must mean he’s frustrated and “sending a message” is a playground mentality imo and I sincerely hope the people running our club are above that.
It's been almost 60 years since we last won the league... have a bit of patience everyone.
Mauricio Pochettino: 'My wish is to be at Tottenham for 20 years and finish my career here'

Not sure if this is allowed in here but will delete if not
He just said he wishes to spend 20 years here if circumstances and Levy allow it. How can anyone say he wants out?!
I’ve got to commend you on your ability to constantly see the positive Levy aspect in anything that happens. If as you suggest Poch and Levy are on the same page then why do you suggest he made these comments to the press ? To tell everyone just how well they get on and that at their last meeting they agreed things would change ? Is that why he quoted the European transfer league stat with Spurs at the bottom because he is ecstatic with that and he was celebrating it with Levy at their last meeting ?
I think you should reach out to 10 Downing Street because they really need your type of skills.
Wow, just wow. You think that was the only way Poch could respond to questions on the transfer window ? I’m genuinely lost for words.Do you think that Poch only just realised today that money would need to be spent to win the league? Of course not.
When Spurs hired him and his team it would not have been on a whim. There would have been a plan in place including performance targets and spending constraints. This will happen for almost all manager appointments I would imagine, but in our case it would have had the stadium build included in the timeline.
So Spurs ask him that for the first five years whilst they build the stadium, does he feel capable of building a team to get CL once it opens, given the spending constraints.
In the next five years I imagine they asked if he can build a team to win the league. What sort of money might be required. What else does he feel would be needed.
All of this will have been planned and financially forecast way in advance. The club’s budget is in the hundreds of millions so they aren’t running the show from one day to another.
Now it turns out Poch is better than we could have hoped and has the team way ahead of this plan. So what should the club do? Stick to the plan or throw caution to the wind and potentially rock the boat? A lot of us fans would love the gung-ho approach but I don’t think it would be prudent.
Poch is a pro, as is Levy. They aren’t sending each other messages through the press. They aren’t making up the budget every Monday morning. They’ve formed plans together with input from both sides... it’s how organisations function.
The reason that Poch says this stuff in press outings is because he gets asked about spending and trophies all the time. What else is he meant to say?
They will say he lacks ambitionThe newspapers and sky will find a way
As I’ve said to others, watch the interview and then come and tell me if you think that is what he is saying.your just the complete opposite though, the deeper you can stick the knife in the happier you will be.
Perhaps he is proud of what he has achieved on those stats, and hopes he achieves something which would be a lot more pleasing considering what other teams have spent.
...and so will @yankspurs ??The newspapers and sky will find a way
