Poch got sacked after we started the season with 14 points from 12 games.
Jose is on a run of 13 points from 12 games.
No he didn't, he was sacked due to the from in the previous season as well.

Yeah. Unfortunately it covered the cracks of our league form.Was that the season where our last game was a Champions League Final?

Took Klopp a fair few transfer windows and years to get them to where they are now. I still believe, though I am sure I'm in the minority, with the same amount of time and backing to cut away the deadwood and get the right kind of players - mentally as well as skill wise - that Jose will get us there.

Getting rid of the deadwood is becoming much more problematic, as we have bang average players on top dollar wages, that the teams who could afford them, don't need them or want them. So, we are left bloated with the likes of Lamela, Sanchez, Doherty, Aurier, Sissoko, Moura, Winks, Dier, Rose and Davies, blocking the route for youth and any potential in-comings. These in-comings are conditional on players moving out, which is where the problem lies.Took Klopp a fair few transfer windows and years to get them to where they are now.

I am not trying to lay blame anywhere but the following is true
We were a successful side under Poch but could not get over the line in trophies. Was that the manager or the bottle ( mental strength) and ability of the players It went downhill rapidly with the CL final masking underlying issues but ultimately Poch paid the price with his job.
Poch was replaced by a serial winner who was known for his efficient (dour) style of football but it had brought him and his clubs success.
The rational reasonably could be seen that take a group of fairly successful footballers instill some mental hardness and whilst they may not be PL champions that should win a trophy or two to provide a springboard for the future
That has not happened in a spectacular fashion Players have not adapted, may not be possible for them to do so and manager has not compromised so stalemate again.
The dilemma is now.
Revert back with the old failings with the strong likely hood of falling short again or on soldier on with the new ones an risk being not able to adapt and tripping up
I thought he term "Spursy" related to the team I now understand it to mean the club. We have a club with a first class stadium and training facility but we dont understand how to evolve as a club into a first class club
I hate the current style but it did feel to me that there was at least a base to start with but that does not appear to be achievable at least with the current crop of players. The chairman knew how JM had achieved his previous success through buying players so why ask him to do something different now That doesnt make sense
To sack JM would only revert us back to where we have already been To keep him will certainly cause at least short term issues. There is no natural choice out there especially for the players we have.
Either give JM money which has not been the modus operandi for the club or take several huge steps backwards. What a waste of stadium and resources
A massively uncomfortable place for DL There is no easy answer
He isn't going nowhere, not when we have that massive cup final to play in April.. Winning this will be the start of ours and Mourinho's following decade of dominance!Poch got sacked after we started the season with 14 points from 12 games.

Yep and you can disagree all you want but look at our league form from Feb onwards in 2019, we were in freefall.
No. I’d like nothing more than see us turn it around and go on an exceptional run. Same with Sherwood.So then it begs the question and one I haven't thought about asking since Sherwood was in charge.....do we want us to lose?
I wish that Poch had been backed but you know we are where we are and it's not even wort h making a comparison. It doesn't really serve a purpose.Totally agree, but I also think his previous work gave him some credit in the bank, plus he openly said we needed a painful rebuild.
I'm still waiting to see Jose do something to justify his hype and the recent form table is comparable to Poch when he was fired.
I don't remember us looking particularly good towards the end of last season either, much like Poch"s final season.
Thanks, but I know I can disagree. That I why I pressed the disagree button. Had to take you off ignore first though.
it sounds from that article on the front page like he's going to get a bit more time.He needs to be sacked.
Even when we beat City at home and were on that nice run it was clear to the common fan that was not sustainable. We were relying on two players in Son and Kane while they were in top form. Son naturally has gone a bit cold and Kane is always going to miss a few to injury. You can’t sit everyone behind the ball and act like you are a relegation team playing for a point at Old Trafford every f’n game. Especially with the world talent we have.
He also has tried to run off one of our brightest, young English talents in Dele. Thank god Levy didn’t budge there and the market is difficult right now. We have Bale sitting on the bench. All while massive underachievers continue to get game after game because they run around for 90 minutes.
I have never had so little faith or joy in watching Spurs. At least in the past we might lose, but would rather do it 4-3 than 1-0 with two shots on goal and getting dominated in possession. This is f’n shit we are watching.
Youre right, all that is true but I hear this alot that this is the price for trophies.... is it? Since when was cowardice or ultra defensive and dull football and winning trophies become mutually exclusive? It isnt.
Look at Liverpool - we really need to look at and follow Liverpool as a perfect example... and I absolutely despise them with all my strength but they were very much like us who even started at a lower base as us (werent we ahead of them in terms of our development, i mean we hammered them 4-1 and could have been 7-2 by the end) - they have won the CL and the PL without having spent a tonne... they sold Coutinho to fund the two main purchases needed... i wouldnt sell Kane but we have a lot of dross we can sell for a good few quid.... give it to the new manager and lets fucking get going...
