Honestly, Spurs fans sometimes make me wish I wasn't in love with this club. I know it's normal out of 'PL' fans but, honestly.
We reached a CL cup final a few months ago. We are 7th in the table and level in points with two of our rivals. And fans want a change.
It's both pathetic and completely stupid. We get a new manager in what do you think would actually happen? Ok we might get a little bump, then most likely finish 5th. Like who can realistically do a better job.
I get a lot comes from frustration. We haven't been playing that well since last Christmas (nor have half our rivals, but that's a different story) but problems do not equal sack manager. It rarely works that way, and frankly while we haven't been playing that well, it hasn't been completely awful either.
Poch has clearly earnt time because he has had us playing so well and has built something out of nothing. He also deserves time because the 'negative feeling' at the club is not actually bared out by the current results this season, which while not great still put us in the mix for 3rd. We have also had a harder fixture list than most of our rivals and they are also dropping points against teams they wouldn't have two seasons ago.
The whole idea that we are in real crisis is complete self-entitled crap. Leyton Orient are in crisis, we are living the dream. We are not even in relative crisis, This isn't like the 90s but this isn't even like Ramos, the end of Jol, or even anywhere near as bad as the beginning of Poch. A season we finished 5th.
All our realistic targets are still very much achievable, and the issues we currently have are just that issues. Poch for me deserves at least a season in any case, were things to go anything but catastrophically wrong. Partly, because any replacement would benefit from a proper pre-season, partly because we would need to take time at deciding who the right option will be (people wanted Van Boer instead of Poch, imagine!) and partly out of respect and understanding of the genuine capabilities Poch has. There is no real benefit of making a change now in any case.
