And yet - we have been through Poch, Mourinho, Nuno, Conte, Mason - twice.
Poch left - won a trophy
Mourinho left - won a trophy
Nuno left - about to win a trophy
Mason - if he left would probably get a team promoted if he went to the Championship.
We have had very good managers - who have won in the past, and won after they left Spurs.
It's not the manager. Its the players, and the culture of the club - that comes from above the manager.
If the manager were as important as people think - teams would stop the Merry-go-round of managers continuously being recycled. Show me a good manager, and I'll show you a team with good players.
Changing managers is a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
It's horses for courses. You need to match the right manager with the right group of players. Whether by luck of judgement we seem to have that balance right.
