yep, don’t think Levy likes fan pressure. He will act if we do I just don’t know how he will act, my guess would be hire Poch and throw a bone.
The last straw for some was the failure to back Pochettino properly.
The last straw for others was bringing Mourinho in.
The last straw for others still was the sacrifice of a cup to save a few million on Mourinho's sacking.
The last straw for others still was the shambles that led to Nuno coming in.
And if Conte goes, with Levy having failed to back him adequately, then that will be the last straw for a fair number of the rest, me included.
But what then?
Surely, he'll bring Poch back, as you say. But let's say Pochettino fails, or he fails to back Pochettino properly, or the DOF and Pochettino don't get on, what then? Where else can Levy go? He can't bring back a favoured son, because that will have failed. He won't be able to appoint a winner because we all know winners don't win under Levy. He can't appoint yet another project manager. Surely, that will have to be curtains for him.
If Levy's half as astute as he thinks he is, he'll realise rehiring Poch is the last chance saloon. In which case, why rush into it? Why not just back Conte and give himself a bit longer before we have to crack open the boxes of torches and pitchforks. Who knows, if he backs Conte, Spurs might actually win something and then we'll be able to put the effigies back into storage. It's not as if they take up much room anyway.
