Don't worry, this isn't a 'Poch Out' thread - Spurs fans can be bad, but not that bad
Instead, it's really a discussion on how patient we all are as fans and when, in each of our own individual opinions, does a manager fail to such an extent that he needs to be sacked.
The reason I'm posting this thread now is because we can look at the subject quite calmly and rationally, before a ball has been kicked in anger, or before the new manager has alienated us by not picking our favourite player
So how long do you give the manager to put things right, in your opinion?
What goals have you set for him that he must obtain?
Should we stick with him through thick and thin regardless of results, because we need stability and it might come good one day?
Are our expectations too high? Are they too low?
How do you judge the manager and the work he's doing/results he's achieving?
Is it only about results? If the manager is building foundations behind the scenes are you more patient with him?
Debate about Spurs managers can all get a bit heated mid-season, when we've hit a dip in form or after a painful defeat by a rival. So let's discuss your attitude to the manager and how much time you give him when we're all calm and quietly optimistic before the big kick-off!
PS Good luck to Poch and all the squad - hopefully they'll give us a fun and entertaining season! COYS!!
