Club Statement 19 Nov 19 - Pochettino leaves

[tttcowan]

Well you all know that whoever we get in to replace Poch, he already has his haters on here. Only the Title/CL double will convince them.

If we were football fans just for the winning trophies we wouldn't be spurs fans. I don't expect Jose will be accepted by the fans. We don't want him and he'll know it and he's not going to take that well. And it will end badly for Jose and consequently spurs.

The thing is with Levy, he's never understood the mob mentality that is the core spurs fans who go to games. And at the end of the day, it's those fans which go to games which create "the mood around the club". Very few wanted poch gone. Very few wanted Jol gone. This has all happened before.

At this point, IMO, it's less about who's our next manager, that's going to be Jose and more about what comes after that.

That’s one of the signs that heralds the end of days isn’t it?

Revelations 32.16 “And low the beast rose from the ocean and opened the fourth seal, and from it spawned Jamie, son of Harold, and he said unto the lambs something that wasn’t complete and utter bollocks.”

Beautiful

Can everyone please calm the fuck down....all this hate and anger coming out and fans verbally attacking each other, isn't it the time for us to have a group hug and look to the future, because it's only just begun.?
This was always coming, sooner or later, and now it's happened....and it will happen again!
Let's all move in a bit closer and make it a big tight emotional hug....if you want to hold hands that's ok.....maybe a song.....who wants to sing....

Or drugs.....anyone got drugs....

Shut up you slag, they turned down my offer of a cup of tea and cucumber sandwiches so they are hardly going to want you hugging them and slipping a finger up their bumholes are they.

Where will Poch go now? Im praying its not in England

man u

He’s gonna immediately be a manager of one of the top probably 5 clubs in the world but he wasn’t good enough for Spurs anymore? Fucking morons.

Poch is a good manager. A great one that I’m sure will go on to do great things but people burn out. Pep did and moved on, klopp did (big time) and moved on. They’re human and need a break and I think Poch needs to do the same. He achieved so much here under very difficult circumstances. Klopp as already identified a year that he may leave Liverpool because of it and the pressures that the modern game bring.

sadly this has been coming for a while ( a season really), didn’t want it to happen but relieved it has too. I think he may be back here as manager again in the future at some point too.

So telling that there's no words from Pochettino on the statement.

eh how often do you sack someone then ask them for a few words for the club website

Wether you like Jose or not, its testament to how far we have come.

or how far he's fallen

 

[SpartanSpur]

Not only did Poch, Jesus and co do a fantastic job for us, but they also came across as classy, quality people.

Things just fizzled out unfortunately, once the spark has gone it's hard to get back.

Dreadfully sad but I can’t disagree with the decision. However Pochettino might have needed greater backing than he received, he still had all the tools needed to achieve significantly better than he has done domestically for a while. It’s not just 2019, I fully remember being quite damning if his selections and tactics for much of the first half of last season too, brawn over brain selections, inexplicable rotations, overly loyal to underperforming favourites, poor in game decisions. The Wolves home defeat last season wasn’t an anomaly from which things turned badly, it was a result that had been a long time coming and since that point we’ve been dreadful.

Are the players to blame? In part. They should never fall below acceptable standards to the extent they have.

Is Levy/ Enic to blame? Also in part. Summer 2018 was a royal screw up and generally even the staunchest of BSODL has to accept that Pochettino ultimately struggled with a squad not of his liking.

However, it is still a very good, talent rich squad brimming with stars, particularly in attack, which should never find itself going 11 months without an away win in the league or 1/3 through a season and 13 points away from 4th, in fact never 13 points away from 4th. And whatever the mitigating circumstances, that, ultimately, is why this change was necessary.

I have never enjoyed any Spurs as much as Pochettino’s Spurs. This is the manager under whom I attended my first Champions League final. He is clearly a good manager and a better man, and I will always be reverent first his achievements. I will remember the good over the bad, ultimately, but in the end I can’t disagree with the sacking as much as I’d like to.

 

[Fidget]

Does that mean he’ll be off too?

Personally - now I can only speak for myself, of course - I will support whoever is appointed. Yes, that's right, whoever. I may not like it, I may disagree with it, but I, first and foremost support Tottenham Hotspur and I will not do anything that takes away any advantage we might have, including showing displeasure at games to our new manager.

 

[neogenisis]

or how far he's fallen

Maybe, but he is still a quality manager. Ok he had a bit of a mare at United but to disregard his achievements is just abit nuts.

 

[Romulus]

don't wanna read stupid messages from people like Alli thanking 'thanking poch'... how about you play for him you toss pot or at least put in some fucking effort.

dont wanna hear any players thank him because they are the ****s that got him sacked.

Toby is probably as happy as can be right now.

On a night of sadness, anger and frustration this made me laugh out loud.

A bit harsh considering his injury record in the past year, surely?!

 

[Fidget]

Sad that his tenure has come to an end like this but its the right call. Poch's team selection has been off, his in-game management in 2019 has been shocking and it appears that he has lost the players.

You can't come back from that and Levy has rightly acted on it.

Yeah and sounds like he’s been purposely hijacking our results
