This is where it all went wrong. Poch should have been backed for a reset. No matter how you remember him and whether you agree with his sacking, this is what should have happened and again it all falls at the feet of one man.
Nailed it that’s the moment 100%, Pochettino should never have been sacked. Levy chops and changes managers, talks often about stability. We finally get a good manager (I think he was an exceptional manager), who did wonders despite having little budget at times, having to play home games in basically a neutral stadium....

What does Levy go and do sack him. Unforgivable. Pochettino got us to a champions league final, he got every inch you could get out of players, he was a class act. But no the Levy the prick knows best sacks him because he has hard on for the dinosaur that is Mourinho, and look at the monumental clusterf*** that’s followed. Back to the Merry go round of managers. Levy has learnt nothing and the blame for all this mess has his fingers all over it.

f****** shambles.

But he get frozen out because he had the same thoughts as us fans. - The team is shit and we are t improving.
He was frozen because he's shit defender. He showed it in 19/20 with Pochettino in charge, with Mourinho in charge and in loan at Newcastle.

Let's really hope the next manager has the chance to clear out before the season starts because if Winks, Dele, Dier etc are still at the club but not playing then he's going to be undermined. Even the toughest manager in Jose got fucked over by cry baby shit players.

Levy can’t directly be blamed for that performance tonight...

He chose the caretaker when there's plenty of out of work managers who could steer the ship for 6 games to make sure we qualify for top6. He is at fault for the predicament we find ourselves in absolutely.

f****** shambles.

Poch was completely burned out. He'd lost the dressing room. He was wedded to his midfield diamond to a frankly insane and almost perverse degree. When he was sacked, we hadn't won away in the league for 10 months.

The situation was un-salvageable. He had to go. Did Levy then do the equivalent of throwing a bonfire on a chip pan fire by hiring Mourinho? Yes. But that doesn't mean the decison to sack Poch was wrong. It was sad, and it was wrenching. But it had to be done.

Sorry, I guess I’m wrong. I’m sure there plenty of managers available who take a 3 month max, 6 game fixed term contract.

I think we as fans can massively over-simplify the situation.

I agree it’s a shitty end response, but we’re not making the informed decisions and we’re feeding of scraps.

The head of our academy is a former manager.

I never want to see Harry Winks in a Spurs shirt ever again. He’s an absolute coward, cant shoot, cant create, cant defend. Get shut, get rid now

Maybe Poch and his squad wouldn’t have been burned out if he had got the backing from Levy that he had been screaming out for. Instead, he got 2 transfer windows in a row where not a single player was signed!!

Exactly, Poch had lost the plot too. Let's not forget that. In fact Poch is responsible for Winks getting elevated far above his station. He built the midfield around him in his last season here. His little Xavi he called him. Just wow. We are still paying the price now.

£60 to watch Winks ?????
If those players had an ounce of class about them they would offer to cover the cost of the tickets for tonight’s match. They should be disgusted with themselves for serving up that spineless pile of shit and do the right thing.

I actually apologised to my son for putting him through that tonight - he was so excited to go as well! He learnt a few new words though so that’s all good ? (there was no designated family area and most of the nut jobs sat by me didn’t hold back!)

Sacking Poch was correct. Hiring José was wrong.

Levy overestimated the quality of the squad and tried to hire a winner to get us over the line.

What it needed was a new coach with fresh ideas and a clear out of dead wood

Unfortunately 2 years later the dead wood is still here and our transfer activity has been poor.

At the moment I only see Hoijberg as a successful transfer. The rest I'm on the fence with and don't really see any of them as regular starters who could get us back in the top 4.

Maybe the new coach will be able to get something extra out of them but I'm not hopeful at the moment.

Whose wise idea was it to stick the fans at the top of the stadium stands anyway? 10k fans as far from the pitch as possible to make it as difficult to create an atmosphere as possible.
