We should have expected that. Most of managers reach their top in 2-4 year with the club. There are very very few who could even match their best achievements afterwards. I could think only of SAF and Simeone.
Whoever our manager is we’re going to need more than £150m as our warchest
I know this is rhetorically asked, but I feel the major component is the transfer market. If a dynasty in fact was the object, then one shouldn't need a rebuild in year 5. A coherent, long term, strategy for transfers to keep a dynamic squad rolling on from year to year is needed to have that dynasty. You can't have a constant five year expiration date on the squad.
Back to this one again?
I would agree if things were going badly, like Arsenal in 5th badly. For me, we've now pushed beyond that.
Just like to know
Unless Bayern come along and pay all the compensations which is not going to happen, I agree with your post.
It's been shown time and again that mass exodus' don't happen simply because a team fails to get CL football in a season.
One, I highly doubt we will defeat Sheff Utd, even if we do we won't be 6th as several other clubs might win their matches too.
Yes, but a formation with motivated players shouldn't be too hard. Lo Celso and Sessegnon must be motivated. Son is still motivated I guess, plus plus. It's not rocket science and deep psychological science to sort that out. But, for Poch it apparantly is. Lamela, was he suspended? Guess he is motivated.
I don’t care where he goes I just wish he would fuck off
You are totally right. But who do we blame for that? The board seem unwilling to compromise in order to get players out when the time is deemed right by the manager - this is a real inhibitor to success. However, we hear many stories of Poch refusing players and potentially making the challenge harder for himself by saying he’ll work with players who he clearly doesn’t trust...

Eleventy throur, give or take a sixen.
How was it baffling? You've answered why he did it yourself....... Had he not and we conceded, I'll take a not too risky punt and suggest your post would then have been about game management and his lack of it.
It's an enigma, and the primary reason for why I believe it would be for the best to switch manager. That's NOT saying that Pochettino should unilaterally take all the blame, but a rinse and repeat just won't work out. I don't think Pochettino is the right guy moving forward regardless of who fucked up the most in the past.
Can't he leave and receive a bit of basic respect?
