Question is who is going to be the interim manager against West Ham?

Once the emotion settles, we will all realise, Poch actually left us after the ajax semi final when he said, it would be a miracle for spurs to achieve CL final again. I dont think any player/staff wants to hear this.

Ok can you honestly say he backed our manager? the one who put us in a position to challenge? This window he spent few quid granted but for years now we’ve had a negative net spend. For us to even get up there and challenge Liverpool Chelsea City Utd Arsenal with that has nothing to do with levy it’s down to good management
Therefore those semifinals was despite of levy again.
What is ridiculous is expecting a team with zero net spend to win anything let alone challenge for anything.
I’ve always been on the fence with levy I think he does certain things very well but right now he can fuck right off.

No I think he should have done more to back him but I'm not disputing that, I'm disputing the fact that it was all down to Levy why we have only won 1 trophy in his time.

Eriksen @ Liverpool was the final nail for me. Wanted him to succeed and felt he deserved the chance IF he wanted it but I genuinely don’t think he did. Thanks Poch but time to move on

Next move is a sign of ambitions, Jose may be a risk but he’s a serial winner at the top level. Players will react to that. He won’t come unless there’s financial assurances. It will be a statement.

Eddie Howe (or similar) is a yes man that won’t demand money and will be another project.

I’ll get behind whoever the manager is but I know what I’d prefer at this point. Surely it’s worth a go, what’s the worst Jose could do? Half the teams leaving this summer anyway!
I agree with this massively, i'm not a big fan of Jose or his style of play but one thing for sure is hes no yes man or puppet, if he comes in he will have told the club exactly what he wants, if we appoint an Eddie Howe then we are repeating a cycle where Levy will dominate everything that happens from signings and budget.

Seriously. It’s time to look at the common denominator thru all of this. It’s Denial Levy, pure and simple.

Players went to moan to him re AVB. Have allegedly done the same re Poch. Fuck that. How about telling them that the coach is the coach, stfu and get on with it. And, I don’t care who that player is, it just undermines the coach, makes him weaker, levy lets it happen.

ultimately for young Denial, it’s all about how much £££ he can download from us as units.

walob.

How about you look at the reasons why the players allegedly went for a whinge to Levy?

I think just saying 'the players are to blame' is a bit simplistic. They loved Poch for years and played out of their skin for him. Then at some point along the way the methods got a bit too familiar, the tactics a bit weird, and they started to question whether it was working anymore.
I doubt they consciously downed tools and plotted his downfall but, whether it was conscious or subconscious, collectively they didn't believe in his project like they used to.

That kind of thing just happens sometimes and once the doubt and the rot sets in it's very difficult to turn it around.

I actually don't blame anyone for this: not Poch, not Levy, not the players. It was just a great project that finally and naturally ran it's course.

THST said:
We’re shocked and saddened to hear our Club has sacked Mauricio Pochettino and his coaching staff. During his time at Spurs, Poch gave us many of our best moments as supporters, made Tottenham Hotspur a force to be reckoned with again, and forged a strong link with the fans. We will never forget the joy he brought us.


Of course, results in the league have been disappointing for some time. But many fans thought Poch had earned the right to turn it around in the first sustained period of poor form we’ve had during his time at the Club. We now have to look forward and take stock. But there are questions that must be asked of the Board of THFC.

The Club’s statement makes it clear the Board has decided to sack the manager and coaching staff. It is their decision. We question why this decision was taken at the end, rather than the beginning, of the international break. We question whether the timing of the decision leaves the Club with much choice in who takes over.

To take the decision it has, the Board must have a clear plan for what and who comes next. It needs to tell this Club’s supporters what that plan is. And the Board also needs to consider its own role in this. Is the manager solely accountable? How much has the Board’s line on wages and transfers contributed to player unrest and disaffection? How much did it contribute to the situation we now find ourselves in? And will it change to help support a new manager?

We’d like to put on record our thanks to Mauricio Pochettino, Jesus Perez and Toni Jiminez for the fantastic football and magical moments they have brought us over the last five years.

Sacking Poch to get Mourinho in would bite us in the ass. Mourinho is everything Levy isn't so a clash is bound to happen, probably instantly. Would love to be proven wrong though.
