I'm not reading much into the Eriksen stuff. The Poch ITK sounds very credible to me. We've been here with umpteen managers and Levy still doesn't seem to learn from the past and the simple fact is that Poch's tone has totally changed in the past month and he sounds a lot less committed.
I can imagine us sitting here two years from now reading an interview with new Real Madrid manager Pochettino as he describes how in his previous job he asked for targets but got given something else and didn't feel he was given the necessary backing!
Sigh. Levy has done so much for the club but he just doesn't seem to understand that some of his approach has a negative impact. He needs to recognise when he's on to a good thing, especially now with the season ticket prices going up so much. If he lets this manager and team fall aprt he's going to have a lot of angry fans. He needs to look at Arsenal for examples of that.
I would go as far as to say that in my life time as a spurs fan (Born in 81) we have never had a manager want to leave us, we have always sacked them for either under performing or being Harry Redknapp. Levy will not be letting Poch go any where and for the sake of a few mill which is pittance compared to player and transfer fee's we will have him signed up. I'd expect stadium naming rights announced followed by a raft of contracts being signed.
