All I really care about is that we get the right guy this time. Genuinely couldn't care less who goes to Chelsea including Poch.

As much as I love Poch, he isn’t my team’s manger and like you said he is entitled to earn a living

Is Levy convinced by anyone though?

Good point!

Of course.... I agree that our next appointment is crucial... maybe more than ever.... I just think many Spurs-fans will be hurt if Poch gets/wants the Chelsea-job... he still means a lot to some fans.

He means a lot to me, but football is a job and he is out of work. If we (the club) don't want him then aim your discontent at the board and not the man himself. He is entitled to work wherever he wants, even Arsenal.

Then perhaps they need to move on and get over it. Like pining for an ex 3 years after you've split up, you are both entitled to move on as it isn't healthy for anyone to be stuck in the past like that. If Glenn can go there and play and manage them and still have the love of the fans, than surely a guy that only had a 3-4 year association can too.

He's convinced that he himself knows best - that's why no manager is too big to fail at Spurs.

It's also why we haven't won anything in living memory...

Think Poch would struggle at Chelsea.

Thats a humongous squad to manage and Poch has proven before that he needs a smaller tight knit group.

So he'd probably spend the first few months battling with Boehly about players he wants to sell - even if Boehly has only just signed them.

Poch needed a clear out before he got us at peak

True... but what's the point in targeting managers that should build up our DNA and identity again if we don't care how they feel about us or want to create a long lasting history with us... I want exactly that from our new manager. Many years of love, passion, commitment and pages in our history-book that won't be questioned afterwards.

I bet Klopp or Pep would never go to Everton, United etc in the future if they got the offer... just a guess of course.

Might make it easier to get one or two Chelsea players moving forward

Yes... he's entitled to work where he wants... agree. But I must admit that my old love for him will take a big hit if he goes there... I remember him saying something about never wanting to work at Arsenal out of respect to Spurs... to me Chelsea is in the same category... I know we have had former Chelsea managers, but they did not have a love affair with Spurs before that.

I wouldn't want him back later if he was at Chelsea in the meantime.

"Aimed" is also a harsh word... but my love for him will fade away if he goes there. We had a lot of big bloody battles with Chelsea when Poch was at Spurs. It's an important part of his time with us...

Get over it. Go out with someone else.

I just don't see it for this reason. It's PSG on steroids in terms of having to use players whether you want them or not or whether they work or not.

They're not going to be able to get rid of these 8 year contract players even if they wanted to given they've hyper-inflated the market in signing them. The only team mental enough to be able to afford them...is themselves

When it comes to Arsenal or Chelsea... no thanks.

Doesn't mean if she starts seeing your best mate/worst enemy it wouldn't hurt a bit though - 5 years he was with us so it's definitely justified some wouldn't be over the moon.

Kingellesar · Apr 19, 2023

I really don't think Poch would be the right fit for that Chelsea team, he struggled with the PSG job, this is the same issue, lots of overpaid stars thrown together with no clear identity. But I wouldn't be bothered seeing him there.

We just need to sort ourselves out before worrying about other teams.

He he... true... but then stop the Poch-chants and abuse of Levy regarding Poch as well... it takes two to tango.

mattstev2000 · Apr 19, 2023

Poch plays good football, know's the club, know's the limitations, has succeed in the premier league before, is available now and seemingly would be quite happy to come here. He's basically the ideal choice and he could be here already starting to get to work.

The only people it would reflect badly on if he goes to Chelsea is us. Again.

Also, FP shouldn't be anywhere near the manager search, he's got a dreadful track record. If that means we have to let him go and wait a few extra weeks to get in a new director of football that is philosophically aligned with the club and on the same page as the new manager then so be it.

If she wants to gangbang a group of Nazis then that is up to her.

We have all been there.

Timberwolf · Apr 19, 2023

Since Chelsea have ruled out the obvious 'experienced' candidate in Enrique I think they'll settle on Nagelsmann provided he's willing to take the job.

He's already close with their new technical director and is used to managing squads full of young, upcoming players. Plus Chelsea have been so colossally shit this season that it's almost impossible to for him to fail as the bar has been set so low by Potter and Lampard.

Struggle to see then picking Poch over him - especially since they already opted for Potter over Poch earlier in the season.

SandroClegane · Apr 19, 2023

If anything, this news will hopefully stop the cringey Poch chants at every match.

He's interviewing with Chelsea, PLEASE stop singing about him. PLEASE.

Based on what?

A false narrative our fans have constructed? Jesus Perez's browser tabs?

If he wanted to be back he'd be back by now.
