And all that amazing money still resulted in zero signings. At least the FA Cup is a fucking achievement. You are missing the point of a football club.

Should have chanced the white.
I think that the policy is one which is waiting on the revenue of the stadium to go up a level.
In the meantime the board wants regular CL football.
I’m ok with that and I’m ok with Poch adhering to it.
However, the board have not forbidden the manager to win a domestic trophy, and our squad has been good enough to win one and stay top 4.
Those failings over the last seasons have been on Pochettinos team selections and tactics in most of those key League Cup and FA Cup games.
We lost, and I won’t hang the manager for it.
What I find a disgrace though is him then saying that trophies are no more than ego boosters when we go out, rather than apologising to the fans that travelled down and outsung Palace for 90 minutes in their ground while losing the match.
Do you see that?
Poch dropped Lloris and we are out of two cups.
Levy would not punish Poch if he picked our best keeper.
I agree about Nacer, but Siggy was frustratingly medicore throughout his tenure.. Regardless of subsequently inflated price-tags; I think the 'swap' for Ben & Voorm has proved good business.
Don’t waste your time settle down with your Horlicks and watch call the midwife and les miserables far more entertaining
So you've answered my question on Sammy's behalf.....only you haven't really answered it.
He said Poch's comments endorsing top 4 as being the clubs priority was a disgrace . Yes, he used that word.
So, do you agree? If not, fair enough. If so, is it also a disgrace for the board to prioritise top 4 and profit over silverware.
There is only one thing that binds us lot together and that's the club, our opinions vary from the absurd to the delusional but that's the beauty of being a footy fan.
Lets get some facts straight...
The aim of finishing the top 4 had nothing to do with the result today.
The aim of finishing in the top 4 should be valued the same as winning a cup. The club is for the fans, and we want to win something, regardless of the board or the manager, our wishes should be taken into account.
Some are saying we need to be patient, we have been for god knows how long, false dawn after false dawn, yes I will wait, I will follow in the dream that Poch has a master plan, my concern is either he, the players, the owner gets bored and moves on and then it starts again.... at that point we can look back, we could say, if only we finished 5 or 6 for those years and won a couple of cups.
I have my fingers crossed that we are at a point in our clubs future similar to Man U, when Fergie nearly got sacked and yet they went on to dominate, I can dream at least.
Any club rated the 10 richest in world footy really should be achieving much more.

Actually, and I shall say this only once, I'm watching reruns of 'Allo 'Allo !Don’t waste your time settle down with your Horlicks and watch call the midwife and les miserables far more entertaining
I think siggurdsson is one f the players that has to feel he is the big fish to be at his best
Willian took the pen - what game were you watching?Why didn’t he take the penalty?
Strange that Luis took it
Two in one week
Wanker
Do we get a trophy for top 4 then? Have I missed something
Aaaah,

Glad you responded... Of all people, what are YOU going to do about this latest "disgrace"?
a) Accept it.
b) Moan incessantly on the internet
c) Take some (any?) kind of tangible action
????
tell me where you have seen anything official saying the board have prioritised profit over trophies?
no. but they aint told him to not win them at the expense of top 4 either.
Edit (in case he'sresponded whilst im typing the edit)
the point is, the nature of modern football, consolidating a regular place in the top 4 is the best way to build sustainable success on the pitch. i dont like it, but thats modern football.
Wigan won the FA cup and got relegated. in the same year. and i would bet a lot of their supporters (with no evidence to back it up, obviously) would respond, if asked.."well, it were a nice day out, but..."
I COULD NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE LEAGUE CUP, AND I COULD NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FA CUP.
