he needs time and I hope he realises players like Soldado, Verts, Stambouli, Davies and even Paulinho to an extend, needs time too... time given to some players are just not worth it and hope he can come to his senses soon...

WOW! Poch out....Full retard thread! This is the very reason Spurs fans are not taken seriously. I guess it was bound to happen really. If Poch is sacked by Christmas, I will take A&C's stick and smash it so far up Levy's arse, it knocks his bloody teeth out.
I totally disagree. If it isn't working or even looking like working it needs fixing. We are spurs and we want football played in a certain way and to a certain standard. If the players and coaching staff cannot deliver that then they need to be replaced.

All of this philosophy nonsense us just that, nonsense. The best managers have one philosophy, winning. Fergie built multiple teams and had success playing in different ways. He got the best out of the players he had used systems that suited them. Mourinho gets 11 players who are good at their position and plays them. This Chelsea team has creative players so they play attractive football, some of his teams are more pragmatic. The things they all have in common are a work ethic, a winning attitude and success. The same with fergie's teams. We get has a philosophy, what are they winning? He got lucky and had great players when he was successful, but his actual philosophy is flawed because of his slavish devotion to it.

I want a good manager who can get the best out of good and exciting players who he motivates to work hard and win.

If we have to hire and sack 50 managers to achieve that then so be it. I simply refuse to support this dross that we have been watching got the last 3 years.

Is this where Hoddle rides into redemption?
Pulis gets a chance at a big club?
Hughton gets to move on from his clipboard?
Man-kini gets to prove City wrong?
Moyes gets to prove Utd wrong?
Rafa B comes back to the Prem?
FDB gets a crack at the Prem?

I honestly can't think who the other contenders would be right now if Poch gets binned.

Well moyes, fdb, rafa and mancini are all certain upgrades to my mind. All I want is a manager who makes logical team selections and subs and demands that his players work their socks off.

Is that too much to ask?

Agreed.
Probably.

Mancini would be a complete and utter disaster, he would lose the dressing room in 5 mins, succeeded in pissing off and falling out with every City player, zero man management skills

He won't get sacked so quickly

Not unless we get fully engaged in a relegation battle and Levy starts to panic - then he'll get sacked for someone like Pulis to do a Redknapp and keep us up

BUt who knows with Levy - he clearly doesn't have a plan or vision for how to take the club forward and all his decisions are reactive so anything could happen

A manager who can speak the language and get his points across would be an upgrade, as the current one appears not to be able to manage this vital and most important task.

Yes, unless he walks. Which is something I can see him doing. He seems extremely frustrated with the players.

When we were in the CL, the night we smashed Inter Milan, the reigning champions, on one of the greatest nights at the lane in decades, who would have thought there would be a wave of support for Pulis to be our new manager?

Fuck. Ing. Hell

What a shambles we have become

Maybe we need Harry! At least QPR put up a fight against Man City who re one of the many teams we crumble against...OK only joking, I think

Interesting list but how many of those could we realistically get and how many of them would want to work with Levy and Baldini?
Probably only the desperate ones.
I would only want a manager who would demand full control over the transfers and staff otherwise the circle of failure will continue.
The question is,whether Levy would ever allow this and I think we all know the answer to this.

I'm just confused as to how we had a good pre-season and started off the season well with encouraging signs but now there is nothing, not even encouraging signs of improvement or attacking play. Not even the benefit of one person playing really well. It's just all poop.

disappointed with our team... we seem to be lacking team work and motivation.
Don't know if it is tiredness or the team not gelling as a unit... but something has to change.

Really don't give a dam of this season having "no expectations" we ain't good enough today... we can't just show up expecting to win. Its the managers job to make sure the players put in the effort.

I was thinking earlier that we have fallen fast and hard but then considered Man Utd and their first to seventh achievement.

I voted yes to Poch. To me, he comes across as capable of getting it right but I am a bit worried - if I was 90% certain 4 weeks ago, I am 65% now. Flip side and if I am well out which is eminently possible, if he isn't capable get rid. It's a job and in my job some people f&£k things up and you talk. If they recognise why they've made a mess of it and have ideas of how to fix it happy days. If not, it's a real worry. Can Poch see what is wrong and does Levy find his commentary on defeat plausible? Who knows!

Momentum is crucial and we have none. I keep wondering that would have happened had we beaten Sunderland 3-0!
