I am not anti-Poch. But his words in the pre and post match conferences has been increasingly worrying. Seems that he tries to cover his discontent in a strange way.
We have seen of the most talented group come through and then peter out due to a clear lack of plan and progression with their developmentMy two pence worth is as follows;
At the start we weren’t regular top 4, so Poch could use the younger players; Mason, Bentaleb, winks and so on without too much pressure. Then we became title contenders amd the impending stadium move whereby Top 4 became a necessity, means Poch couldn’t risk youth players for fear of missing out on top 4. He doesn’t like to buy ready made players, they come with ego and he’s all about the collective.
We are literally stuck, a manager who prefers the mid-range player he can improve, plus a director who thinks these mid-range players are now over priced.
But the new stadium makes CL football a must to help pay off the stadium and generate advertising, sponsorship....and our current youth teams are not coughing up anyone first-team ready. Poch does not have the luxury of risking a few results by bringing in youth players to help bring them on.
Yeah, it will be a classic Spurs thing of having a busy summer, and trying to make a load of signings when we don’t have CL football to offer.It’s all looking pretty uncomfortable. It’s about the time for the end of a cycle when it comes to this club, wouldn’t be surprised to see big changes this summer.
Not advocating change right now....but who would you lot get in to replace Poch?
I cant see much out there. Conte wont want to work with Levy. I wouldnt want Benitez.
Best to stick with Poch and see through this difficult spell?
Funny how on the back of a bad Result, Poch is being made as a scapegoat, he made a bad sub yes, premature talk of getting rid, lets see how he and the Lads bounce back.
Stick to posting shit off of twitter I reckon, it's easier for people to relate to.
