Yes but we don’t live in a world where it’s either poch or Jose. There are other options and Jose brings so many negatives he’s not worth itNonetheless, he still did it and that is something that Poch has struggled with at Spurs and for Poch, that's a huge thing to not be able to get done. Poch's whole football ethos relies on one system and style and that is it and his system is brutal. From the training to the high-intensity matches it stretches the player's abilities to the maximum and at its core is fitness.
I watched a lot of Leeds last season, for the simple reason of watching a Bielsa system and seeing how it compares to Poch's and they are so similar. The problem for Leeds and Bielsa last season was burnout and that is a direct comparison to what we see at Spurs. Once Poch sees that he no longer has the players to perform, then the results vanish as he relies exclusively on one style of play. Poch is the problem, not the players. A manager with any tactical knowledge would do a better job than Poch.
I'm not a fan of Jose and isn't top of my list to replace Poch, however, if it was him or Poch and no other choice? I'd go for Jose all the time and that is because of how weak Poch's tactical game is.
What were all the other nails at that point? Doesn’t seem like you need many nails in your coffins.Poch has been the best manager in my lifetime but i am firmly in the Poch out way of thinking. He must have lost the dressing room. The final nail in the coffin was the Brighton game for me should have gone then.
When Poch took over we had a defence of
Lloris
Walker Dawson Vertonghen Rose
Yesterday we started with
Gazza
Aurier Sanchez Dier Davies
Aside from signing Toby, who now wants to leave, he has massively degraded our defence. The worst thing is he was a defender
It was hypothetical to emphasise just how bad we have become under Poch. I don't want Jose either, but I would argue that there are many negatives at the club right now under Poch, in fact, there have been for a good while. In terms of success, Jose has always delivered silverware in some form or another, which is far more than Poch has.Yes but we don’t live in a world where it’s either poch or Jose. There are other options and Jose brings so many negatives he’s not worth it
So is Ledley King, dont think he should get his boots on thoughyou know Lloris, Jan and Rose are still here right?
I am sure we went from the best to worst away form in under a year. That is just not acceptable
I don't get this 'rebuild' situation.
We need 4 new players in my mind, left and right back, centre back and a striker.
Rebuild suggests the majority of the players we have aren't part of the future. That would mean moving a load of them on and then jumping into the market to replace them. That's not going to happen.
The problem to me is not particularly the players. It's the tactics and style of play. That's where the change needs to be for me. Play with intensity and, stop going backwards.

The thing is yet again Ally falls into the trap of making loads of excuses for Poch. For example why are so many players wanting to leave the club? Could it be because of Poch that they want to leave? ITKs have intimated some players would stay if Poch moved on.
What about the appalling form of the entire collective squad? Ok so a few players want to leave, but to a man every single player is playing abysmal. So that’s not Poch’s fault either?
The poor performances and decline has been going on you could probably go back two years to see the first signs of it all falling apart.
He isn’t the messiah some thought he was. He’s a limited one dimensional manager with major flaws. Seems at his best working with young inexperienced players and that’s about it. Tactically limited. Look how many times we’d turn up to play city and liverpool and play straight into their hands. He never once tried to adapt his tactics. That won’t win you titles.
It’s a decent enough article.
He is right that five players actively want out and didn’t get their move. Four were mainstays.
A lack of funding over the years has taken its toll.
Expectations are high but this is a difficult season.
However, Poch is known for developing young players. I currently see little evidence of this.
The likes of Sanchez, Foyth and KWP don’t appear to be developing to a level where they are ready to play.
Then the players that do appear to want to be here like Dier and Davies aren’t performing either.
Porch doesn’t appear the right man to turn this around in the short term.
I don’t have trust in him to put a cohesive team together with what he has at his disposal or that he will make the right changes during a game to get a result.
Can't believe that it's been 94 matches since he played the same 11 in consecutive games, that must be the best part of nearly 2 years.
I know we've been very unlucky in terms of injuries but surely there's been plenty of times in those last 2 years where he could have played the same 11 in multiple games.
Our strongest first 11 is a title challenging team in the hands of the right manager. Poch has done wonders for us but he just doesn't have the experience to take us to the pinnacle. Pep and Klopp have so much more experience when it comes to maintaining a title challenge over a season and unfortunately that's something that poch is missing, he's not a serial winner and that is why our next manager needs to have that experience.
I don’t think my post can be called reactionary at all.Thanks for the replies about an article I didn't write, okay.
Football fans are so reactionary and short-sighted, it's quite funny really.
Pochettino has just entered his 5th season, in the previous 4 we have got CL football whilst underspending all our rivals, we have had 2/3 title challenges (actual title challenges), we had a CL final appearance another final appearance and some semi appearances. We have outperformed on almost every metric given the money we have spent and seen an influx of youth from signings and internally and they have all developed under Poch's tutelage.
Levy carries the blame for the current malaise but in the same breath, we also have a £bn stadium heralded as one of the best in the world.
Yes, we are playing poorly, especially at home but that is kinda expected when you have players who don't want to be there and Levy has failed to let them go. It's also a brand new stadium and that takes time for players to adjust, it also doesn't help when the fans get on players backs.
You all want Poch to go, that's fair enough and you're entitled to your opinion but I will ask you all two questions...who the fuck do we get instead? And do you think Pochettino will fail or succeed at whatever club he takes over at?
My answer to your two questions, SPD is:Thanks for the replies about an article I didn't write, okay.
