I'm proud to have Pochettino

[shelfboy68]

People comparing us to Soton forget the fact that they had a clear structure from the youth set up all the way to the first team. With such a thing in place, even the 'exodus' that they experienced this summer was never really going to affect them as much as was anticipated. I can't remember where I saw it but I do remember Poch saying (somewhere close to the beginning of the season if I'm not mistaken) that there, the team pretty much trained itself whereas with us, he and his staff had to start from square one. That alone illustrates the size of the task that the management were, and still are, faced with.

And the truth is, it's not such an outlandish statement to make either. We've been so focused on being a fiscally responsible outfit (for the record not complaining here) that we pretty much overlooked setting up a sound footballing structure. Fortunately I believe it's something that Levy and co. have realized as - if reports are to be believed - they have made strides to ensuring that come this summer, Poch has the tools to really put his mark on the team unlike his predecessors. We can only take the lessons of the past and learn from them going forward. As far as Poch is concerned though, I do not think that we could have anyone with as much ability in charge of us right now and that much is fact.

Yes TS is doing well at Villa but just how long will that last? And Koeman has done well at Soton, but given the conditions there, was that really a surprise? We are we're supposed to be and considering the fact that a lot of us here at the start of the season were ready to accept a 6th place finish, I find it disturbing that suddenly that's turned to proclamations of a complete lack of faith in Poch and his staff. We have to accept that there will be growing pains to get to where we want to be. Last season Maureen went to Chelsea and only managed 3rd. This season his team dominated the table. That just shows that even the greats need some time. Who are we to suggest that Poch should be treated otherwise?

If we had had the exodus of players leave us like the southampton situation then knowing how easy we crumble, we probably would have been in a relegation scrap or close to it.
And Yes managers need time but poch isnt or wont be great he is just a stock average manager.

Poch buys everyone din-dins (everyone!), bolsters good-egg credentials.

Smells like team spirit as Pochettino enriches the blend at Tottenham

Spurs manager has sought to build a togetherness, on and off the field, and nights like Wednesday in a West End restaurant are a part of the process

I'd have rather had a boozy afternoon with Greaves down the pub.

I bet not many people would be willing to bump a post to admit that they called something wrong. Fair play to you.

Poch is a proper class act, I know eventually it will happen but I cannot see past him as our manager, he just oozes of the stuff.

He pays for his own
He pays for his ooowwwn
Danny Rose
He pays for his own

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

Poch made me realise why some men are gay

 

[spursfan77]

He pays for his own
He pays for his ooowwwn
Danny Rose
He pays for his own

Wonder if Danny was invited?

Wonder if Danny was invited?

If he's training at all I imagine he'd have been there.

I suspect he was else the papers would have made a big deal about him not being there. They wouldnt mention if he was, because it doesn't shit stir I suppose.

Reckon he was there, but had to google the restaurant

Can't believe I've never noticed this before, was too occupied with Moanrinhos complaining. But it's brilliant!
