Club Statement 19 Nov 19 - Pochettino leaves

[fortworthspur]

I didnt want Poch out but Im glad its over. Not his tenure but the drama and suspense.

 

[Misfit]

Well fuck. It needed to happen and I was on the side that the change was needed but now it's happened, very down about it.

Usually the opposite when this has happened previously. Either relieved or outright ecstatic.

Sometimes the right thing is the hard thing to do. Good luck to him and no pissing about with the replacement, DL!

Time to make that step change that the club has been hinting at.

 

[Sid Tottenham]

I'm certainly not using that as a stick to beat any of our managers with but looking at it objectively you can't point the fingers at Levy, 12 semi finals and 1 trophy really shouldn't be seen as his fault, that's a bit ridiculous.

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.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Put a bet on this, this will be the first club Jose manages where he won’t win a trophy before he is sacked

 

[alfie103]

Well.... Fuck this.

He gave us our identity again. Don't care about the trophies. Don't care about the fucking press conferences. Seriously, what's the fucking point if you can go from this,



To sacking the guy within 6 months. What is the fucking point?

What does that even mean?

 

[markiespurs]

Surprisingly, Jamie Redknapp is talking a lot of sense on SSN

 

[yankspurs]

@ValenciaYid called this a while back with him losing the dressing room, fair play.

He did lose the dressing room. That same dressing room lost the fans too. Only Son, Sissoko and Lamela come away with any credit.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

This is the darkest timeline

Community.

Im absolutely gutted, Obviously theres a lot of posters to remember but I tried my best to argue for Poch during this difficult period and Im extremely sad that its ended this way and I feel everybody during this project deserved to see a happy ending and I wanted so much for Poch to turn it around and go out on his terms. Unfortunately football has for a long time now not been a place for romanticism and its a place for fans with demands for winning and not a place for supporting through thick and thin due to the cost involved in following clubs these days.

My fear is that the next manager will be hamstrung in a similar fashion and only then we will see what we had. I hope Im wrong.

Sounds like you are going through exactly what I did after the Brighton game. I knew that was the end. Its absolutely gutting to know that Poch and this group of players has no silverware to show for a great period in the club's history.

Unfortunately due to the failings of himself and those above and below him I don't think there was any other way out.

Of course in true Spurs fashion the timing is horrible...

 

[Spurslove]

Love the Poch but it feels like it has been coming for a while

We'll always love the man for what he did for us, but let's not start airbrushing the truth out of the equation. Apart from a few exceptions, we've been bloody rubbish for the best part of the calendar year, so something had to give, otherwise we'd be in a relegation dog-fight by Christmas, and with the players we have (mostly) that's completely unacceptable.

Half the squad of first team players should be taking a long hard look at themselves in the mirror tonight.

[RikkiRocket]

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.

 

[spursfan77]

Harry?

He’s magic, you know

 

[tttcowan]

What does that even mean?

Ask fucking Tim Sherwood... I mean Jesus, I know football fans have short memories. But do you not see how far he's brought us?

 

[mark87]

Agree.

And welcome back.

 

[Adam456]

You might have mistaken what I was saying, I was basically inferring exactly what you said in your first paragraph

Ah ok fair enough.

Yes a different manager might get lucky one season but sustained success would have needed reinvestment in the squad. I was happy if we treaded water for a season or two until the new stadium really translated into financial clout

 

[yankspurs]

Put a bet on this, this will be the first club Jose manages where he won’t win a trophy before he is sacked

Levy is so allergic to trophies I can see us getting to one and then Levy sacks him before the final.

 

[Ekmek]

Absolutely devastated. Fuck off Levy.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Can someone post quotes if / when Toby & Davies get asked about this after their respective games

 

[Klinsmannesque]

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!

until he said he gives young players a chance at least
