couldn’t have said it better. People are living in a fantasy land looking for a mythical manager who doesn’t exist.
What the feck are you saying? I said the centre backs want out. Not that they're shit.
It's not a stable dressing room at all. They also have a big hole at right back. It's not an excuse, it's a fact. You can't go out there and expect a title when they spend hundreds of millions less than the teams above them. How daft do you have to be to suggest that?
They choked before Poch. If anything he dragged them into the equation of major trophies which is better progress than those prior to them.
Not sure that is down to poch. Levy controls sales and transfer strategy
I feel a manager like Poch who has done as much good work as he has at Tottenham should be afforded a bad season before people start talking about sacking him.
I disagree. If there is a player in a situation like that then it is up to the manager to address it and notify the board that they need to be shifted. That's what SAF did consistently and didn't give a shite who they were.
AVB was sacked under similar circumstances.
The "tight Levy" thing is such a weird myth that has no factual evidence. I can't help but feel it's perpetuated by anti-semitism.
He's done.
Thats great if the board listens and shifts them...
SAF isn't a reference, it's a bit like using Maradona when you judge Sterling.
Should be, doesn't make it so. toby alderweireld was frozen out of the squad ages ago for not signing a new contract, yet levy wouldn't sell at a price anyone would pay. That he is leaving on a free and unsettled, instead of a new player in his place is a purely down to levy.
Generally Ferguson had much more power than poch has at spurs.
Hell, even with Coutinho, it was the board that kept him on that summer, Klopp wanted to sell him once he wanted to go.
? Gladbach are currently a point below Bayern.
They did poor in in europe but can still make it out of their group and i am not sure what your comment is based on.
You could say our dressing room hasn't been stable since Mourinho's second season, yet nobody gave him those excuses and nobody gives them to Ole either, who has no fault in it being like that. Our fans expect Ole to magically change everything but would give Pochettino time? It doesn't make sense to me.
If that's easy why can't everyone do it? Including United's last 4 managers?
They're all just going through the motions now.
You have got to be fecking kidding
Clearly there is wider issues at Spurs with many of the team wanting out for contractual and other reasons. Teams come to the end of it's cycle. It happens.
There are lots of players in that first 11 who haven't been given new deals, so why should they care about the club.
Additionally, this high pressing high energy style is exhausting, it spits players out, Alli, Kane, some of the others there, they look exhausted. It's not sustainable.

Meh, comparisons can still be made I think. He may not be able to replicate something to the exact same level but people can definitely take the same pathways and achieve similar results for the respective level they are at.
I don't think Levy is as big of this bad man that people on the board like to make out. Aye, he has his issues but I think there was manouevrebility to get rid and Poch isn't being as brutal as he should be with some of them.
Frozen out of the squad yet he's still playing now. Other managers would just not play them if they wanted to take this route.
He's been fantastic for Spurs - that should never get underlooked.
If you look at where they came from to where they are now with the type of money he has spent compared to the other top 5 is remarkable.
However he has been at the club for 5 seasons which is a hell of a long time in the modern Premier League era and there were signs last season that all was not well. I think he's already made many questionable decisions this season and his press conferences have been close to a disaster at times.
If I was him I'd take six months off, recharge his batteries and I'd bet by next summer he would have job offers from: United, Barca ( unlikely to take it), Real, AC Milan, Napoli and even maybe City depending on what happens with Pep. Make no mistake about it - he's one of the best managers in the world and has proven it during his time in England.

Net spend £87m in 5 years, impossible to buy a Spurs player, no, it's not anti-semitism, he's notorious for looking for value and driving a hard bargain, as good chairmen should be.
They can't take the same pathway because it's part of the decision making abilities. It's because SAF was able to take the correct decisions at the correct moment that he was at a different level, nothing else.
And what do they do when the player isn't sold after a year? And the replacement is injured or not good enough?
Had he been sold maybe they could have reinvested in a CB
Where did I say it was easy?
And Levy is often put in the same category than Aulas, I don't think that they have the same ethnicity.
Huh....I thought he was doing worse than he is.
He's still new, give it a couple of years. It will happen to him too. Like i say, it happens to almost literally everyone.
The one club in the league who rival fans use antisemitic chants against, with a Jewish chairman who has spent roughly £1.5bn over the last ten years on a huge stadium, training ground, has the 2nd highest paid manager in the league, and has spend more money (net) that the likes of liverpool in the last 5 seasons, being labelled with at least 4 of the six canards of Economic Antisemitism on a regular basis.
No, I'm not.
it's frankly a pathetic attempt to try and shut down criticism of him.
That fact, which is true and disgusting, isn't because of the chairman, it's because of the high proportion of Jewish Spurs fans in general. As well as, as ever, the scumminess of football fans.
Klopp's supposedly bad final season at Dortmund still gets brought up here a lot. They had bad luck. Lots of it. More than anyone else in recent history over the course of a season (though mainly in the first half). It seemed like their opponents scored almost every chance they had whereas Dortmund created loads and just couldn't find the back of the net. It was a complete statistical outlier and I have never seen anything similar. He didn't lose the dressing room or any of that nonsense. Reached the German cup final as well.
I didn't even know Levy was Jewish
Same, weird to even bring anti semitism into it.
Why the feck are you talking about Ole? Poch 11 months into his Spurs season changed the way they played and made them look sharper in their performances. The results followed and there was a clear change in the way they played and the coaching impact showed.
With Ole nothing shows. We look worse. Defensively we aren't any better, offensively we're worse and we have no midfield. Don't compare apples with pears, we're talking about Poch here.
Do spurs play worse with kane in the side? when I have watched spurs over the past year i have had the illusion that they seem to look a better team without him playing?
Are there actually spurs fans in plural trying to claim here that levy and spurs are criticised on here because of anti semitism?
I find it genuinely offensive that you would stoop this low to try and manipulate the discussion like this. Who are the anti semites? Is this supported by any other tendencies on here? Put up or stfu

Nah, he ain't going nowhere. Perhaps if he gets mullered by Red Star? Funny how someone's stock can turn overnight. He was supposed to be the next big thing with United fans clamouring to sign him up.
That's the point i'm making though? Poch hasn't made the correct decisions in terms of a few things.
His contract was running out. They decided to add a year extension instead of letting him leave. Sometimes letting a player go is better than having a replacement for them because of the impact it has on the overall squad. It's obviously a hypothetical scenario that we are speaking about in terms of Spurs but i really believe the issue is the uncertainty throughout many members of the overall squad. Will they or won't they leave? is a question that surrounds many of the players and there are steps that can be made to challenge and rectify it.
If Poch was our coach,by now they would ask for his head on a platter on RedCafe. 
Lynch Poch squad was already on the way to his house.

WTF is going on at this club? We've had the Toby leaving saga hanging over the player for ages and can't be good for him. Danny Rose all through the summer was out of favour and supposedly off to Man City or Italy. Jan was dropped and is now in the tabloids regarding rumours of an affair with Eriksens missus. Trippier, our best right back, left. Aurier just doesn't suit us. Lloris has had drink driving problems but surely that was a one off and his head is sorted but recent performances would suggest not.
This defence needs a serious shake up.
