I honestly think he’s gone by Christmas. Particularly if Madrid/PSG comes up. Perhaps best in everyone’s interests if this is true.
If that was true I'd want him gone earlier than Xmas. I am hoping he can turn it around as I am not sure who is out there that could steady and then get us into a great position come the end of the year.

To be honest this is how I felt after the game yesterday. Does feel like it is the beginning of the end. Hope he turns it round, a lot of work to do.

Will back Poch all day long, but he needs to take a step back and kind of start from the basics again. Love him, but our football as been turgid for 6 months or so. Never been a fan of the football we play under him to be honest, but fucking love where he has put us as a club. Hope we can sort this out with him at the helm.

All the above is now reflected in the support given to the team. When the team is not playing well it is our job as 12 man to lift the team and the atmosphere.

On that front apart from the Champ League games the atmosphere and level of support has been at best disappointing. The wall of silence from the Park Lane was for me the biggest disappointment and has been since we moved. It appears that the real singers never managed to get season tickets in that end. I watched the Liverpool scum game and the kop atmosphere was electric. Our fans just stroll in five minutes after ko or half time. Moan and then leave ten minutes before half time to get in the beer queue.

I love a beer with my footy but I personally would not serve alcohol at half time.

I used to blame Wembley for our lack of singing support but I think it goes deeper than that. ?

If that is true, it's a disaster. There is literally not one available manager right now that I'd trust to keep us on track if Poch were to leave.
Do you trust Poch to keep us on track??? I'd say at least half of the managers in the PL would be capable of getting this squad a top 4 finish, that's pretty much par right now.

Amazing Stat:

Only Southampton, Bournemouth, Watford & Brighton with fewer league wins than Spurs in 2019 of current PL teams.
This is not a blip, but a decline.

Lost the dressing room....Tick tock

Wow. I'm upset beyond words. Just a few months ago after the Ajax game I don't know if I've ever felt so much love for a manager before.

The man has taken us to heights many of us thought we'd never reach. Trophy or no trophy, it's been some of the best football and memories in the Premier League era.

Such a shame that it has to end this way, if indeed it does end.

Well he did say that if he won the CL he would have left...

But then again, a few years ago he also said he would stay at Tottenham as long as Levy wanted him here.

This is why you can't get too wrapped up in his quotes unfortunately.

I think we should give him some time. He's got the players he wanted, now once they are up and running it's up to him to show us this style of play he wants. However if feel that we should definitely have got one more tricky, flamboyant attacker in; Clark could have been this guy. I don't think he would be a Bale like saviour, but he takes people on in the opposition third using strength and skill rather than pure pace.

I'm sure the players will be happier with mourhino in charge:facepalm:
If you think KWP hasn't been given the chances he should of earlier in his career... Just wait until Jose gets here and starts slagging him off after every game. He'll break him.

I would expect Levy has been aware of this for some time, if it is in fact true that he has lost the dressing room.

I suspect a lot of leg work will have been put in on a replacement already. It would be foolish of the club not to have a revolving. shortlist of replacements at all times in the event of Poch walking or going to Madrid.

I can’t think of anyone other than Mourinho or Allegri at this moment in time. No one in the premier league is pulling up trees. Maybe Rodgers...we did approach him before he took the Liverpool job.

I wonder what has gone on behind the scenes to cause this sudden split. Time for the big players to step up and be leaders if this is the case.

I wouldnt be surprised if true. The players see what we see and more obviously. I just hope Poch and the players sit down have a heart top heart and sort this shit out... i dont think things are that bad that cannot be resolved, theyve all been through a great deal etc

Like @Marty there isnt one manager out there that i would want with the exception of Lucien Favre perhaps...

One thing is for sure - we are definitely an attractive proposition with excellent players.

I'll just add this.

I'm honestly not surprised. I always found it startling how we would have a manager who was saying the things he was publicly over the last 12 months. Things like "If we won the CL I might have left". Openly talking about his players, calling them out, saying we need a refresh. He was hinting even last season that players needed shipping out. Even the book he released, I think was a mistake. Did it start going downhill from there? Who does that when they are still at their present club?!

All this would have done is meant the players would have questioned him, and more likely lost faith in him. I thought it a while back and I'm not surprised at all to be honest.

Unfortunately it maybe appears Poch is believing all the hype about himself. Seems to have moved away from whst he use to be. Havent seen him hug the players on pitch coming of after match in ages.
