    In my circle, we refer to his brother as Charlie Drama.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    I kind of feel like we're pressing closer to peak 16/17 Poch then the end of his tenure, no? We don't play as a high of a line but it seems pressing is important part of Jose's system.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Agree that Salah and KDB are poor examples of what is happening here and that Pogba and Shaw are better examples. Disagree with everything else. It has little to do with Jose wanting a scapegoat. It's about demanding everything from the team as a whole and the 22+ individuals that make up the...

    Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

    Levy has had DoF, TD, DoRs in the past and at the behest of the manager, not had them. That's ceding control on both ends of the spectrum.

    Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

    I actually just bumped the thread discussion about this article before I saw this thread. It's an interesting moment in the Poch era. In hindsight it looks like a mistake and may potentially have played a part in his undoing.

    This is an interesting thread to read back on. Bookmark this event in the timeline where things unraveled for Poch, Levy and Spurs.

    Krzysztof Piatek

    I agree with all of that, but I suspect Kane has more of a say in whether he plays or not than we think.

    Krzysztof Piatek

    It's as much on Kane as it is the manager or the club. Kane needs to realize that he can't play every match. If his contract is so overly incentivized that it encourages him to play every match, that's on the club and they should re-work it (assuming they want to keep him long term and...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Bingo. Jack Pitt-Brooke said on his podcast recently that the club nearly sold Rose to Chelsea in '17 for £55M. Imagine what the fallout would have been had that gone through after already selling Walker earlier in the summer. In hindsight it would have been amazing business! It's pointless to...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Disagree it's on us. It's not really any singular person or entities fault. I mentioned this idea a day or so ago; after Poch, Kane and Dele re-upped, Poch had dinner with CE in Copenhagen...I used to think it was a contract extension pitch but that shifted this summer once I saw his agents...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Thought his agent said both parties mutually agreed to turn them down. I used to think the dinner with Poch in Copenhagen was to convince CE to sign an extension, now I think it was to convince him to turn down a move.

    ITK is largely fantasy but I doubt you will see any activity until some outgoings occur.

    Harry Kane

    I've always thought the same, or at the very least stay in the PL, until I had a conversation with someone on the eve of the CL final at the team hotel. This person wasn't employed by the club but they were a guest and said HK was very open to a move to Spain. I could see us selling him this...
