I posted this on the Spurs Vs Girona thread back in August.
I think it is quite evident that's what he meant.
More than anything it's about being "different" it absolutely doesn't mean "spend" which is what so many hung their hat on.
One of the things that I said at the time was that it was also about getting Levy to change, that change wasn't to spend "BIG" another miss interpretation at the time, I inferred that it was to not spend at all. Levy would always spend (always the debate was about the player that we spent money on good/bad/cheap option etc but he would always spend). Poch has broken this process of an agent knocking on Levy's door being offered a player, Poch wants a specific player for a specific position/function, he would rather have no-one than a player that doesn't fulfil his requirements.
This has come to pass.
The jury is still out on whether Poch has the ability to scout, identify and land he specific player (this obviously means not him as a solo operator but working with Hitchen and McDermott). The jury is still out on understanding if Poch wants a de Jong type player (assuming he knew his value would end up at £100m) or if he's fishing in a haystack for another Dele Alli at £5m, or both.
Ultimately though it's about being brave with our way, our convictions to be different. This is his most consistent message he has delivered, in fact, he's never once deviated away from it. It also demonstrates that he is totally in sync with Levy on how we fiscally operate and working within this.
At least the penny is dropping for that majority now:
a) Poch has been given the reigns, he's earned them.
b) There is zero rift, zero ultimatums, zero showdown talks with Levy. The absolute opposite is at play.
c) He's 100% committed to Tottenham. He always has been. His ability will always attract the admiration of other clubs, which in turns leads to speculation, but that speculation in the press is the process of those other clubs tapping up, it's not Poch saying "he's off". It's not "back me or I'm off".
