Poch is the manager for the new owners not this one.

I think he would leave in a heartbeat. He has no emotional ties to the US. This is not a squad that is expected to make a deep run at the World Cup. It’s a job. People leave jobs all the time.
The real question is not whether Poch would come, it is whether Levy would pay to make it happen. We all know the answer to that one.
he probably gets his Poch info from Ossie who is good mates with both.Alan brazil on talksport always acts like he knows him personally, (im dubious if he does) and he is adamant that poch would come back in a heart beat.
Very true.he probably gets his Poch info from Ossie who is good mates with both.
AVB was backed more than any other manager under ENIC in that we actually spent the Bale money on all those players. He was slightly unlucky with injuries to Lamela and Sandro in particular and obviously Soldado and Paulinho were massive flops but he was definitely backed. The problem was that the football that half season post Bale was absolutely awful and losing 0-5 to Liverpool was the final straw.AVB I genuinely can't remember why he was sacked. I thought he wasn't backed when he got injuries with Sandro.
Why the do we keep coming back? All the reports were that he would have in 2023.why the hell would he come back.
Poch did like the club, but he will have a less emotional and more logical view on his career. We unfortunately have no other options. He wasnt backed then, and he wont be now. Like someone else posted, Poch to come back when Levy has gone, now that could work.Why the do we keep coming back? All the reports were that he would have in 2023.
Sherwood also undermined Hoddle, by all accounts - can't stand the guy, and his tenure as head coach was the worst I've felt watching spurs (since I was a very young lad in Klinsmann's first stint with us)AVB was backed more than any other manager under ENIC in that we actually spent the Bale money on all those players.

Plus he has Dimmy in Levy's ear the whole time undermining him because Dimmy wanted the job for himself.
Conte's football was great until the final stage when he seemed to fall apart mentally (partly due to personal tragedy and obviously also due to the issues he flagged in the post-Southampton rant). In Conte's first season we were fourth highest scorers (I think also fourth best defence). In his second season we were something like 5th or 6th highest scorers overall and probably 3rd or 4th highest at the point he got sacked).Harry literally asked for the England job publicly, and was telling everyone Modric is going. Of course he had to go.
Jose and Conte were signing players to be horseshit football. AVB I genuinely can't remember why he was sacked. I thought he wasn't backed when he got injuries with Sandro.
But Poch had us playing great football and getting us close to league and UCL wins. If you can't see that difference, then maybe show when those other managers got closer. Some of them had Modric and Bale - UCL legends.
Football was absolutely terrible and we were getting proper hidings from the best teams. He was almost entirely reliant on Bale in his first season for goals and when he lost him everything just fell apart.AVB I genuinely can't remember why he was sacked.

Ancelotti at Real is the one that springs to mind.Has a manager ever gone back to a club for a second stint and done better than the first time he was there?
Genuine Q.
FWIW, i'd have him back, purely as I think he's the perfect fit for the current squad.
