I'm not dominishing our previous manager, I'm stating that across his last 24 games he accumulated 25 points. At that average we'd have been looking at regulation for a lot of PL seasons.
I loved Poch but I think it's fair to say that a run of form that spans 24 Pl games isn't just a 'random period' as you stated. Daniel Levy felt the same hence why he packed him in.
It'll take me a while to dig that link up but in the meantime I do have this... the form table for every team who task taken part in the PL from the time we lost away to Burnley, when the rot started to set in through to Sheffield United 1-1 draw at home, Pochettinos last game as manager.
23rd February 2019- 9th November 2019, the 24 game period that caused concern:
Liverpool 65 points
Man City 58 points
Chelsea 48 points
Tottenham 25 points (+1 GD)
Arsenal 34 points
Man U 30 points
Wolves 33 points
Everton 35 points
Leicester 46 points
West Ham 29 points
Watford 18 points
Crystal Palace 34 points
Newcastle 32 points
Bournemouth 27 points
Burnley 25 points (-7 GD)
Southampton 23 points
Brighton 24 points
----------------------------
Cardiff 9 PLUS (Championship PL 15, W 5, D 6, L 4 = 21 points) 30 points
Fulham 9 PLUS (Championship PL 16, W 7, D 5, L 4 = 26 points) 35 points
Huddersfield 5 PLUS (Championship PL 16, W 4, D 4, L 8 = 16 points) 21 points
----------------------------
Sheffield United .....PLUS 17 (Championship PL 8, W 4, D 3, L 1 = 15 points) 32 points
Aston Villa....PLUS 11 (Championship PL 8, W 6, D 1, L 1 = 19 points) 30 points
Norwich City.....PLUS 7 (Championship - PL 13, W 9, D 4, L 0 = 31 points) 38 points
Liverpool 65 points
Man City 58 points
Chelsea 48 points
Leicester 46 points
(NORWICH 38 points)
Everton 35 points
(FULHAM 35 points)
Arsenal 34 points
Crystal Palace 34 points
Wolves 33 points
Newcastle 32 points
(Sheffield United 32 points)
(Aston Villa 30 points)
(Cardiff City 30 points)
Man United 30 points
West Ham 29 points
Bournemouth 27 points
Burnley 25 points
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 25 points
Brighton 24 points
Southampton 23 points
(Huddersfield 21 points)
Watford 18 points
This isn't the examples or evidence of the link, as mentioned I'll have to dig that particular time period out as I did see something a few months ago.
When you have teams like West Ham, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Crystal Palace getting more points than you/ showing better form over a 3/4 season spell, you need to leave the old manager behind and say thanks for the memories
Not denying we were poor for just less than 2/3rds (not 3/4 of a season), not even saying it was the wrong decision to remove Pochettino.
However are you still denying that basically you made up a statement, considering you have taken a 15 game and 24 game period to suit your argument which on both occasions disproves your own statement ?
Still waiting for you to say, "sorry I was wrong and I retract my made up statement"
