Why the fcuk would Poch go back to Spurs after the way Levy treated him?
He would be insane to do it.
He lost the dressing room, and they parted ways amicably. Don't think there is anything personal there.
Yeah I dont think Poch leaving had any acrimonious undertones. It was a more "this is business, and we thank you for your service". Actually didnt Pochettino even say he wanted to go back to Spurs at some point later in his career?
As for Spurs manager, I really do not see Conte and Levy as a good match. Conte will want guarantees of squad investment, I do not see Levy going for that. Even though Spurs imo need a serious squad overhaul, a big spending window if you will.
Come off it. Levy never backed Poch in the market. Poch worked wonders keeping them in the top 4,getting to a CL final. With no investment from Levy.
It would be a strange move for Poch.
Like going back to an abusive ex
Like going back to an abusive ex
He stated as much after the rebuild; there was precious little money.
Does it excuse Spurs’ dire form at the start of that season? They were 14th in the league and I think he’d given up. He certainly looked a forlorn figure. Maybe winning a mediocre cup with PSG will rejuvenate him
What are you trying to say about Levy?
I saw Poch blinking in morse code, the bruises "oh I just walked into a door" yeah sure you did mate.
But he Critisised Poch for not winni G trophies. Fair enough if there was no money you can't buy to strengthen but don't take it out on the manager.
Did hiring Mourinho work?
Think 14th and winning 3 out of 12 and
Losing to Colchester did that.
As for Mourinho, after beating us 6-1 and City, Arsenal what did you think ... hindsight eh?
It would be a strange move for Conte, but then he's a strange individual. I can imagine it happening. Difficult to imagine him going there if he doesn't get the assurances of signing all the ex United players his heart desires though.
Don't make me laugh.
The 6 - 1 was a freak result. Arsenal also beat Spurs. City won the league in a canter.
Whoever takes over at Spurs will likely be taken over a team without Harry Kane.
Poch should stay away.
“Give me Jonesy, Mata, Lee Grant and that fecking Martial lad, and I’ll win it all”.
He’d probably do it as well.
Yeah I wouldn't put it past him to have Phil Jones playing like Vidic reincarnated
Conte will sign him and all of a sudden he stays injury free all seasonNot my point. That’s hindsight..Freak or not, we got trashed
What was the reaction when we lost to them 6-1 and then they followed it up with good wins? Not the end of season outcome. I’ll bet you and others thought Mourinho would be a revelation
Absolute madness. No chance he leaves PSG voluntarily, surely.
You would lose that bet. How did they did in the return game against us? That's the Mourinho effect. He's taking less and less time to crash & burn.
You are completely missing the point and hammering on about the end situation. Taking the early season in isolation, the Mourinho appointment looked good and our form was awful. That’s undeniable. How it ended is neither here no there. At the time of Poch’s sacking they were 14th and lost to Colchester. Many Spurs fans thought he’d taken them as far as he could.
Many on here who were clamouring for him to be Utd manager managed a U turn. There’s not many who’d take him now. Rightly or wrongly Levy believed at the time that he’d deliver a trophy which Spurs have been craving for a generation almost.
You may go on about Mourinho and his ultimate exit and their late season form but that’s not the debate
I am not missing the point. In my view Mourinho is a busted flush as a manager. Finished. I didn't think he was a good fit for us or Spurs.
Poch again? This would be hilarious.
This would be hilarious.The story from Balague is PSG are really confused why there’s so much press. Levy has reached out but PSG aren’t interested in entertaining it. That’s all that’s happened but I guess media outlets need those clicks.
Oh boy, if he thought Inter were being cheap, wait until he meets Levy.
He joins, they sell Kane, he resigns.
This should be fun.
I think he’s a good manager but him and Levy seems like potentially a worse match than Levy and Jose.
Would be really good for Spurs, IMO.
Could be fantastic for Spurs. They were getting rejected by Rodgers a couple of weeks back. To get a current title winner would be a coup. If they can get Kane to stay, his 3-5-2 would suit the Son and Kane partnership perfectly. And Doherty (if he's still any good) and Reguilon can be good wing backs as well. Let's see how this one goes.
It strikes of desperation and some sort of ex-couple weirdly getting back together after shagging around for a bit…. but truth be told, Pochettino is the hot one in this relationship and Spurs oddly manage to grab a hold without having either power or money. What is 100% certain is that he will not be able to build the same as he did the last time, so why bother? Zidane won three CL’s with Real Madrid and returned later before now leaving with his reputation slightly damaged.. it will always happen when you’re successful the first time. (And before someone mentions that Pochettino wasn’t successful the first time, it’s pretty obvious that a club like Spurs cannot define success based on trophies like the biggest clubs).
Conte is a great manager, if a little strange.
I agree on the Levy thing though. That could really end in a bad way. Conte will want assurances and guarantees of squad investment.
Having said that Spurs do need a big spending window as they are a bit of a mess, and a clear out of some players who have stagnated. That may b enough to entice Conte.
Yes please Mr Conte.
It really would suit that shape well. Could see Ndombele doing well for him also.
Centre backs would be their big focus for the summer.
Conte wd be a brilliant choice for Spurs. But keeping Kane wd be key to quick success..
Never go back. You can’t capture the magic twice. He needs to stick it out with PSG and make an impact. Him leaving after 6 months and going back to spurs will likely be the start of the end of his career.
I actually agree with this - Poch needs to establish himself as a top manager and he is in the perfect place to do that at PSG - I'd love him to come back to Spurs one day but not now.
No idea why he’d join them. Declining squad, star player wants out, no money to spend. If he goes there then fair fecks but I have no idea why he’d gamble his reputation, which has never been higher, on clearing up that mess.
They have a cracking stadium
Exactly
He's welcomed to take our deadwoods on loan for polishment, or for clearance price though.
Conte would have to be an even bigger egomaniac than Mourinho to think he could go to Spurs in their current state and win something.
