If we end up 6th next season with the same number of points, would you want Poch to stay or go?

[ultimateloner]

Players come and go, tactics change, performance vary.
Every team has their problems to solve.
League table/points don't lie and is the only objective measurable benchmark for relative performance.
Assume no major squad overhaul.

Keep your reasons brief (2 sentences max) if you want to provide one. Lets just tease out the essentials.

FFS.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Despite my adamant criticism of Pochettino, I seriously do think this thread is a wee bit premature.

 

[Mullers]

I wouldn't be thrilled but he can't be sacked for finishing in 6th place.

 

[Chris12]

FFS.

Is that a yes or a no then?

 

[danielneeds]

I think there should be an ejector seat placed in the dugout, so that if we finish 6th he is immediately shot into deep space, where he would have to survive only on a diet of mate and pork scratchings.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

It's not so much about points or position, more about us playing decent football with an identifiable style that suits the squad, particularly any players we bring in. If he can't manage that, then what's the point?

 

[thfc1973]

This is sort of pointless right now as we could be stuck with the same or worse players than we currently have. Conversely, we could get bought out by a super rich owner who pumps 100M into players over the summer and our ambition alters significantly, therefore 6th or even 5th would be seen as a disaster...so, until we have the players in that Poch picks and buys and the summer transfers have shaped up we cant cast an opinion - is my opinion.
But hypothetically speaking, I would keep him.

 

[Shadydan]

i think we need some more Pochettino threads on this board.

 

[Drexl]

He should be sacked now

The guy can't motivate a squad, has no plan b, tactically clueless, cant get players to play to his system

Yet his replacement. despite having squad pillaged might be ahead of us

Fuck Poch, we are only a Kane serious injury away from relegation battle next year, not the guy to take us forward

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Plans are in place. Only its set to go off every 10 games. Levy wouldn't run to pork scratchings however, he's budgeted for a pack of stale hula hoops and two rich tea biscuits.

So it's not just your political views which are ridiculous.

I'm gonna remember this day

Beaten 3-0 by Stoke, a bunch of cloggers and thugs, yet Poch is the right man to take us to the next level? ok

Reality is Kane, and also Eriksen's late goals, have carried us this season, but for them we would be where Newcastle and Villa are

 

[chinaman]

That has got to depend on what he can sign this summer. If Levy is still tight and wouldn't upgrade the squad, even Merlin can't win anything with it.

It's too early to judge. Arsenal also lost to Stoke BTW.

We have been shite for weeks mate, if players are not trying then its Poch's job to motivate them, seen nothing that he is capable of it

We never got beaten at Stoke under Harry did we...?

 

[thinktank]

Why don't we just let poch get the type of players in that he wants; get rid of the type he doesn't and then take it from there.

Kinell folks.

 

[Drexl]

I maintain we are 6th in spite of Poch, not because of him

Kane might have a crap season next year, he might do his cruciate in the first game and miss the season, without him we would be fucked this year
