He's not even that smart is he, describing Luton as "unambitious", no mate they're a team that haven't been gifted a corrupt Russian money man or investment fund owner, their rise is more impressive than your achievements.
Fake twat.
Plus he's "disgusted by the money spent." Where was this energy when Roman was doing the same. Absolute melt

That miss by Jackson is ominous for them. A real howler that'll stick with him and Chelsea look like they'll struggle for goals. They've spent a shed load but who is going to stick the ball in the net.
This is what I can’t work out. They’ve spent all that money, but still don’t have a world class forward who can score a goal. They could have probably bought anyone, bar a select few!

For all the money they spend they tend to use it on similar quality players not superior. And it's just too many, impossible to shape a team. Just look at question face Pochettino in press conferences, not aware of who's coming in and having players he don't know who are in his squad.

Apparently Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Liverpool...

So far :sneaky:

Not sure having pretty much the same back room staff for 15 years works.
That is actually a great point.

Poch Said that we needed a total refresh.

He was right, but maybe he needs to look internally and at those around him too.

One thing I did not agree with was his son as fitness coach.

I dont think football is the right environment for family members (other than brothers) to be working with each other as Poch wont Judge him the same as any other fitness coach.

So if his methods arent working, is he really gonna be brutal enough to say?

Didnt he come straight from university to work for Spurs?

Sorry to say but I think realises his limitations and with PSG and now Chelsea he is just chasing the money while he can.

I doubt he “realises” his limitations. From his perspective he is joining clubs which have a track record of being serious about competing for major trophies. Chelsea are a mess but it wasn’t too long ago that they won the Champions League. It’s not like he has gone out to Saudi Arabia to manage.

I hope Poch doesn’t succeed there but it’s too early to write him off. It’s enjoyable watching Chelsea’s stuttering start but it’s a big job and could take Poch some time to get things right, if he does get things right. Of course there’s also a strong possibility he won’t be given that time.

I do think this is a big test for him though and his wider reputation built up at Spurs will take a considerable dent if he fails at Chelsea.

Not that you should judge a manager on his post match interviews / press conferences, but he just doesn’t seem to have anything new to say anymore. I used to love listening to him and these days he just seems to have the same tired responses.

I can’t see the Chelsea fans getting as excited as we did by him (or have done by Ange) and that could really harm his chances.

I’ve still got a letter from him hanging on my wall at home as it represented such a good time to be a spurs fan but I am glad we went in a different direction with Ange.

Saudi will be next IMO.
