If he doesn't then levy should resign too
A bets a bet mate, I'll pay up as and when.
Let's be honest in our last 11 Premier League games we've lost against Wolves, Man U at home, Burnley, Chelsea & Southampton. I don't care what anyone says about what's happened recently with the ability in the squad we should be winning at least 4 of those games. We've got 0 points from all of that when the minimum we should be expecting I'd say is 9 points and that's being prudent. We don't seem able to play in a gear higher than we need to get over the line. Is that because of a lack of preseason? Having 9 players playing up until the last weekend of the World Cup? A lack of quality or depth? I ain't sure but I do think Eriksen has been really off colour recently and I think that area of the pitch has really hit our goals scored tally. First half we looked so calm and in control and it made us comfortable and complacent in the 2nd half. We didn't show Southampton respect and we played with too much ease instead of get our shorts dirty. Too many didn't leave it all out there. That's nothing to do with our talent, we've allowed the wheels to come off feeling sorry for ourselves similar to the Leicester season. Heads and emotion has dropped since it was clear we couldn't win the league it's a mental thing attached to licking our wounds.
A bets a bet son, I'll be paying you up in the coming months don't you worry pal (I appreciate the gesture though)
Which winner do you think we could get who would be succesful with the smallest net spend transfer budget in the Premier League?
Guardiola? Klopp? Moyes?
David Wagner, at least he has won something as a manager, pretty likeable person as well.

Not having a go when I say this but who do you think we could bring in that would do a better job currently?
Also, can we afford them and would they come here with our transfer policy?
Not that I want him gone, he's the best manager I've seen in my lifetime.
But when do you know when a manager HAS taken you too far?
Jol for example, it was obvious he couldn't get us Champions League football, he had a ceiling. Redknapp was the right man to get us INTO the top four but probably wouldn't have pushed us onto a title challenge and now Poch has continued that evolution by getting us in the top four consistently etc.

We are still third in the league.
Going home.
And in the quarter finals of the CL.
We played really well in the first half.
Not all bad.
Admittedly, we need to start winning in the league again.

If Poch has taken us as far as we can go it's because of the club, not because of Poch in my opinion.
The team is currently a little too robotic, a little too focused on the technical aspects and not the heart and guts of it all.
The last few games we've become typical Tottenham again. Nice, pretty football but not robust and gritty enough. The players really need more of a rollicking more than the manager as we know they have it in them, they have far more in them than they are showing and there's only so much a manager can do.
The buck stops at the players at the moment. They've lost at least 5 matches this season to a team more inferior than us, they need to take responsibility more frequently than they are. Time for a few of them to grow up and take these moments more seriously now, I don't blame the manager for the collapses I've seen at all. They aren't children, they're men, they need to take more ownership on the field
Yup! From now on i wanna se Toby and Jan as our central defenders, no Foyt, no Sanchez, and no fuckin back-3.
We need to refresh the squad badly. 5 or 6 new faces is badly needed. Away with the lamelas, llorentes, trippiers and loads of others. No top team can keep the same exact squad every year and evolve.
Good grief, you probably even believe that.
Believe what? Poch has taken us too far?
Nope. Not at all nor was that what I said.
If we win any trophies in the next 10 years, it'll be with Poch at the helm. We lose Poch and we go back years of development.
Knowing that no matter how badly you play , you will still play the next game doesn't make any player grow.
Lack of proper competition in some areas has made some players untouchable, we're witnessing that now worse than ever before.
Poch has brought a lot of this upon himself.
He has stated time and again that he only wants to bring into the club players that can improve the team. If he feels that he cannot improve the quality after that performance today (during the Summer) than i truly think we are in deep shit.
The CL results are misleading when you look at the teams we have beaten, not that we didn't deserve to be in the quarter finals, but we are heading for more than likely another three losses this season in the PL and any team that loses a third of it's games deserves in all fairness to win bugger all, let alone qualify for the CL next season.
You can see his frustration in the post match interview, and he is now suggesting that perhaps this is as good as it is going to get. For the first time ever, i am wondering whether he is saying this out of frustration or with the realization that he cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel all be it in a new gin palace.
Feel free to flame away.
