And so it begins ☹

Massimiliano Allegri, who decided to take a year out of football after leaving Juventus in May, would put himself in the running to take over at Tottenham if Pochettino left the club. (Sun)

Real Madrid want Tottenham's Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, 27, to sign a pre-contract in January - and will then move for Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino. (Mirror)


The Mirror one is written by John Cross so obviously nothing more than shit stirring.
Better than klinsmann who I saw linked earlier ?

I’ve mentioned this in a couple of posts and also to fellow Spurs mates. Other than Man City and Ajax away it had not been fun watching us this year.

I am a big believer that you do your best when you are having fun / happy etc. Why does Poch look so miserable all of a sudden ?

Leaving aside the contract issues, this should be the best squad in our lifetime.

It feels like a Redknapp type moment (I am not advocating him) come in, put a smile on their faces and whack Southampton. Attack them high up the pitch.

In my view and I would love to be proved wrong, but this malaise will continue until Poch jumps or is pushed. I’ve seen it too many times in my lifetime supporting us.

When we get a fantastic new manager in like Eddie Howe The Fuck Did You Land The Spurs Gig or Jurgen not Klopp Klinsmann then all our wantaway 'stars' will start performing and sign new contracts and Lo Celso, Sess and Ndombele will be dead chuffed and pulling up trees too.

Poch Out. Get Ricky Sacks to start a Twitter thing.

I think your sarcasm is missing the mark.
Nobody wants to be here. Nobody wants Pochettino out. But nobody wants to see poor performances and lack of motivation across the squad either. Nobody thinks that getting a random dude to replace Pochettino is the silver bullet. But many of us suspects a fatalistic course of events that we can't control and have seen too much in the past. And that might very well be a change in manager, regardless of whether any fan desires it.

Fine. And yes we've seen it all before with Spurs. Believe me I have too.

I just think we're a different club now in many ways.

And I use sarcasm to mask my misguided, deluded and frankly dumb sense of optimism. ?

Poch has always said the same. He wants his players to play with freedom and enjoyment. That seems to have been taken away.

Maybe we should all take some lemons to the game on Saturday!

Allegri would 100% take us to the next level IMO
Has Allegri been linked to Madrid at all? My knowledge of Italian football ranges between little to none but if he was as highly regarded as it appears I thought he’d be first in line to replace Zidane?

Why even share it then?

Things like this only 'begin' because people start sharing it and saying stuff like 'and so it begins'.

I would prefer if levy backs him. This guy took a bunch of nobodies and turned them into superstars. If these players turned on him, then they can all fuck off. Sell them all and let poch breed a new bunch. I believe poch will work wonders once again. I think certain players have grown to become too full of themselves, but they need to remember who turned them to become the players they are today

The players they are today?

Demotivated, slack and uninterested?

By all means credit Poch for his role in building them up but by the same token of appreciation who else can you possibly blame the mass demotivation and decline on?

I don’t think a new Manager is going to make a big difference. Our transfer policy isn’t designed to help us win the league.

Poch has overachieved and no investment for so many years has caught up with us.

So just rip up the team ( that’s won precisely fuck all so far) and start again then.

So we can watch another young team and have the inexperienced excuse lined up when we again win fuck all and waste a once in a generation player like Kane.

Oh and in a few years time we can do the same again and start another “project”.

I don’t want us to sack Poch, but this whole idea of the only way we can improve is rip the team up and start again is doing my head in. We will never actually achieve anything.

They're two different things though arent they. Whilst I don't disagree. There's the transfer policy and there is the management of the team.

Anyway, while Man City have Guardiola and Liverpool have Klopp I suspect there is little chance of us winning the league. I did fancy us this year to give it a go but no chance now unless a miracle happens.

and lose Harry Kane in the process. He's not going to wait around too much longer while we flounder.

Exactly, Liverpool lost a CL final and instead of starting from scratch they spent big in positions they desperately needed strengthening in.
Fast forward 12 months and they win the CL and come within a rizlas width of winning the league.
We lose the CL final, so bulldoze the lot and start from scratch.
