I think if Levy balls up Pochettino situation in terms of giving him what he wants etc, they will have problems getting the fans to fill the new stadium. He is the best thin to happen spurs since Bill Nic.

Really? Not since Burkinshaw who won a fair few trophies with us?

If Poch leaves us, I am sacking off top flight football altogether for a good while. He is the best thing that has happened to this club in 30 years, and he has transformed this club's identity and personality. We cannot afford to lose him.

Being quite melodramatic there....

If Poch walks and its all due to the stadium financial constraints, will the stadium have been worth it?

Been thinking about this for a while.
I've always advocated a new stadium. We weren't going anywhere in the old one, we'd always be handicapped.

The thing is, did we really need to go as mad as we have? All the talk of best this and best that, biggest this and biggest that, what has it achieved? No naming rights. Delayed opening. Potentially crippling depts.

I don't think so, I'm generally quite beleaguered with "elite" football and all the tedious bullshit that surrounds it... The money, the clamour about silverware... the whole circus. I think for all the promise and integrity built with this era of the club to end like that, I'd feel sickened and would lose my taste for it altogether for a while.

Poch conforming what many of us had suspected. He's been off in his press conferences this season and all is not so rosy behind the scenes. This quote stood out to me the most:

"I don’t know, many things happened in the summer, many things that make myself not in my best mood or best humour. I know I always have a good relationship with you [the media], but my feeling is not the best feeling, I had better feelings in previous seasons."

We were talking about establishing a new stadium, to be focused with the only priority to win games. The circumstance that happened in the last years, I think the club is not focused completely in winning titles or winning games.

:cry:

"The club is not focused completely on winning titles. Today we spend a lot of energy on many things. One is to win games, but it is not the priority to win games. The club needs to be more focused on winning titles."


That is no bueno...

Reading that article he makes things pretty clear I feel. If Levy doesn’t pay up soon he will go. He seems really fed up, almost like bridges have been burnt. If any big club come in with a good offer.... I really, really hope Levy can fix this. Bloody depressing, but we all suspected as much.

He is pissed off!!!

And there were some funnying my comments. And wonder why some of us can’t be bothered. We are supporters of a great club. Now ENIC, under DL cannot hide anymore. Best stadium in the world, training complex etc, with no titles, trophies. Is that what I want?

I am waiting for the BsoDL’s to speak and defend them. Challenge the comments of Poch. Do anyone really believe we will strike gold again with another manager like him?

Finally the gaffa speaks out!!!...
Aside from what he says, doing this before the City game is a pretty big move. Really hope this has nothing to do with RM about to sack their manager. Was completely sure he wouldn’t leave, at last until summer and then only if Levy can’t atop being Levy. But this sounds pretty bad and the timing...

It will leak out into the press. ENIC & DL, can remedy it. Spend 150m! Simple as!

Or loose him. Yes, they get a pretty penny for him. Yes our star players will leave, though under contract. We take in loads, and sell the club, and start again.

The club has no choice but back him!!!

Please don’t go on about ‘we will never spend 150m’. There is almost no choice.

Damn, Poch is low-key great at playing the "game". Coming out with these damning statements on the same day Real Madrid loses 5-1 to Barcelona and just the day before Man City game. If this doesn't force Levy's hands, then nothing will.

£150m on who? Just for the sake of it?
Poch wanted a load of AMF’s that we didn’t even fucking need like Zaha and Martial so I don’t get this just spend £150m.

Sure, it’d be nice to get some superstars but in positions we need. Shitty timing from Poch if you ask me.
