“And the fans deserve a big credit too”
Nothing to see here I say.

Haven't seen that but I do have a feeling he won't be with us next season. The vibe over the past month. Maybe the players know he's off too which has impacted on the pitch. Probably not. However, he has successfully fulfilled the brief of his original contract: to deliver regular champions league football moving in to the new stadium. I am very likely completely wrong and hopefully he is at the helm for the next chapter of the club. COYS.
Fantastic achievement to get CL again having played every game away this season. Would love Poch to sign up long term to continue to build on what we now have. Seems like he has a good relationship with Levy which some previous Managers have struggled with. I wouldn't want anyone else.
Having said that, by God he knows how to put us through the wringer at times with selections, tactics, substitutions. Last night was probably the most obvious example since he's been here. I know we had some players out but a CM2 of Wanyama (way out of form) and Sissoko was the stuff of nightmares. The only time we looked the least bit assured in MF was when Eriksen dropped back to pick the ball up, so why not start him there? Foyth is a much more composed footballer than Sissoko who spent most of the game hiding so that we had no link from back to front. 433 would have covered the deficiencies much better IMO. Sissoko also gave away the free kick from which they hit the post because of a clumsy challenge. Moura, yet again, spent the evening on the bench when he's been the only real bright spark for the past few weeks. Son looked like he was pissed and Alli looked largely disinterested. How can you not be up for a game like that? Hopefully an influx of new blood can get us back in order for next year.
Very good point, and if he were to go to any other of those top 10 jobs, he wouldn't have anywhere near as much credit in the bank with the board (and most fans) as he does here at Spurs.
Hopefully the negativity that has invaded SC over the past few weeks will now kindly fuck off
Is he perfect? No. Is he perfect for us? Yes, I believe so.
He's magic you know.
It’s a weird situation for him tbh. Although he continues to enhance his reputation. I still think a big big club would think twice because of no trophy. And in reality he’s options are less than 10. I just couldn’t see city going for him if pep left, Liverpool just doesn’t seem right. Chelsea maybe united maybe. Barca he’s ruled out. So that just leaves PSG or Madrid maybe Bayern but unlikely. So really he only has 4/5 options. And you’d even debate if Chelsea is actually a bigger or better option than us now.
Good points, I think he’ll become more optimistic in the media once in the new stadium and if Daniel Levy gives him some half decent dosh to play with. If not he will continue his rehtoric and he will als leave. I think he’ll stay and win things with us.Kinda agree, but I can also understand when you perform very well and become a bit of a victim of your own success.
I think he went a bit too heavy about it, hopefully it was just the pressure speaking, he must have known it was getting a bit desperate.
He definitely needs to tone it down a bit, pushing for realism too often can trickle down. Yes were are outmatched in resources but team is very competitive.
I swear to god if I start seeing the term "tactically inept" I'm gonna lose my shit. We've already started seeing "Can he take us to the next level?"
Shades of BMJ's last months in charge, and look at the shite we had to put up with after him. Not since BMJ have we had a manager that has given us an identity, and has restored pride in our club.
Some of our "fans" really are a disgrace.
There've been more fannies in here over the last couple of weeks than there are on Pornhub.Hopefully the negativity that has invaded SC over the past few weeks will now kindly fuck off
Is he perfect? No. Is he perfect for us? Yes, I believe so.

This season has been his greatest 'achievement' thus far IMO
There's talk of Paul Tisdale and Jim Bentley leaving their clubs in the summer as well which would see Poch jump to 7th if it happens. And in that case the longest serving manager in the top four leagues would be Gareth Ainsworth at Wycombe, barely two years more than Poch.Poch is the 9th longest serving manager in Premier League/English league. Only Dyche and Howe have been at their clubs longer, this is all after Wenger retires
It just goes to show how long managers last these days!
