In many respects, end of this season is the ideal time for change. A lot of players likely to leave (Vertonghen, Toby, Eriksen) - chance for someone to come in and put their stamp on the squad immediately.
The problem we have is that our chairman is how you say unique and not many manager could or would work under him.If he goes, has to be one of Allegri, Ancelotti, Tuchel, Benitez, Mourinho or Simeone. Obviously there’d be an order and if it meant waiting until the summer for one of the top 2/3 from that list then so be it. Simeone and Tuchel might be long shots, Ancelotti too, but no harm in trying.
I think howe is a good manager personally, look at Bournemouth before he came.

Would never happen.
Allegri
Mourinho
As they are both winners and are tactical astute in those big defining moments. Allegri outsmarted Poch when we were panning them 2 years ago.
Nagelsmann
Favre
If we want someone refreshing and to work with the youngsters.
With Mourinho, I worry for Foyth, Sanchez and KWP as he'd prefer experience. But if we win stuff I guess that would be after thoughts.
God, this is all a little depressing and deflating.
I said after last summer's window that I thought Poch was being too stubborn with his signings.I don’t get why people are blaming Levy. Everyone knows I’m far from his biggest fan and criticise his transfer policy and ambition often, however he clearly delivered Poch his three top targets and nearly a fourth in dybala who might still come in Jan.
You look at the squad we have and the performances and results just aren’t matching, and there is clearly a drop in motivation levels. Poch has easily a good enough squad to be doing much better than he has been doing.
It isn’t overreaction to say the wheels have fallen off at Spurs. I can sense it and it’s why I’ve lost all enthusiasm for Spurs this season.
What Trix is saying tallies up with what we are seeing on the pitch. Players aren’t as motivated.
I honestly don’t see how Poch turns this around. You don’t change a whole squad of players. You change the coach.
We should be doing far better than we are. Look at the regression in form and performances from practically every single player in the squad. Poch is no longer improving players.
Levy isn’t perfect but you can’t start blaming him for the 2019 performances and results. That falls on Poch. We are easily third best squad in the league but we are playing like a relegation side.
Then you look at all the weird stuff Poch has done, including the book. Yes it was a weird thing to do, you should never do that whilst you’re still at the club. Then his weird public comments about leaving etc plus the fact we always lose key games under him and never win any trophies. That’s a huge failing.
I feel if we get a new manager it has to be a huge name with experience of winning trophies. Ramos being our last trophy winning manager with the team we’ve had for the last 5 years is a disgrace really.
Eddie Howe can fuck off rather have Eddie the eagle sums the club up to a tee.Mate, Herc and Trix (not that I pay tooooo much attention to ITK) have both implied Howe.
As in Eddie Howe (The Fuck You Land The Spurs Gig, Son?!)
Not sure why people are blaming a lack of transfers from past windows on the bullshit we are being served up. Every week it's a change of formation/system/tactics. Pnot to mention players playing out of position or out of form just because they are who they are.
Pochs biggest strength as a coach is his player motivation. I can tell you as fact a lot of the senior players are far from motivated and haven't been all season. They don't like the ever changing tactics and roles they are being asked to do. Every week at training it's like starting from scratch, with another bright spark tactical plan for the next opponents.
Why this has all of a sudden become a thing I have no idea, but pochs very clear plan and philosophy all the players believed in so abundantly is very much missing atm. His happy go lucky, cheeky chappy persona has been replaced by a moody, miserable, git!.
As I've said before if Zidane got the boot tomorrow I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if Madrid came in for him now.

I tend to agree but what if we're in a real fight for top 4 and we have issues behind the scenes?Pochettino must be given at least the remainder of this season, look again at the end of the season if form is still woeful.
He deserves that.
They've won their last 14 league games mate, and thats with all their front players involved in summer competition as well.They aren’t absolutely flying imo, but I understand your point.
That’s absolutely pathetic. 2 points more than Newcastle? Below West Ham and Palace? Fucking embarassing
The thing is it barely does work. Players spend time getting used to doing a certain thing and being told to do certain things, if two weeks later they get told to do different things they are going to get frustrated and start to question things as soon as we lose - which we are doing more frequently now.
Players will stick with you and be prepared to wait if you give the same/similar message (as long as they see positives) but if you're changing it from week to week they will just get confused and worse, pissed off.
When you put it like that ...They've won their last 14 league games mate, and thats with all their front players involved in summer competition as well.
Oh I agree. I mentioned both Favre and Nagelsmann a few pages back as excellent choices. Unfortunately Nagelsmann only just went to Lipzig. Favre maybe but he's only in his second season. Both won't leave any time soon, at least I don't think so. Wouldn't take Jose, at all. He looks completely burnt out.Would never happen.

If Joe would just sell his yacht we could buy some more players to be injured or be on loan somewhere gaining fuck all experience ...It all falls on 2 men. Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis. We need new ownership
