Supposition arguably is another word for foresight but in this reality there is no manager available to replace the one we have and he has earned his place anyhow, and changing the coaching team now is unthinkable.

Really?
The day Poch leaves I don't see us struggling for a new manager of equal level at all.
Poch earns 8 mil a year so we obviously are not adverse to paying a top manager a top salary.
And I know that Levy has his critics, some of it earned and some of it not but let's be honest. He's not any more difficult than any other chairman/president at another top club.
We would without a doubt be of interest for plenty of top level managers, Mourinho in particular has been sending clear vibes that he would be interested should Poch walk/get sacked. Allegri would probably be interested as well but the X factor with him is if he would want to leave Italy.
Marcelino just got canned from Valencia and he is arguably Poch but with a trophy. Since 2012 he got Villareal promoted, made them back to back top 6 and Europa League competitors, then got Valencia back to back CL football and their first trophy in a decade.
There are most definitely interesting managers out there that would be interested in taking the Spurs job.
Poch has earned our trust and should be given time to fix this, but I also think that some fans are afraid of going back to where we were that they cannot imagine a club without him, even tho it is at the end of the day inevitable.
That 33 year old striker is a very dangerous player. Never write Leicester off
This is a team you have to beat. They won't lay down. You won't beat them without maximum effort
Why the fuck t don’t you just start a POCH OUT thread rather than bring such negativity to a thread about a London derby just 24 hours away you idiot!
1. There's no need for name calling. We're having a discussion not an argument.
2. I am simply stating that there are options available should Pochettinos/the clubs situation become dire enough. A subject you were yourself taking part in.
Do I want Poch out? No. I'd prefer that he works through this rough patch with his squad. But if we keep firing blanks like against Newcastle and don't take teams like Palace seriously his position is going to have to be called in to question.
Indeed.... We are not the same proposition for an incoming manager as we were when we hired Poch.
Exactly. And he is of course a big factor in us being that.
His accomplishments cannot be denied.
I agree but if we are not in the top 3rd by Xmas, then it's time to think very hard about Poch. Every manager, bar about 2, will eventually run out of ideas and it's a natural progressionfor managers to move on. Poch has been one of our best ever but perhaps we need new blood in coaching as well as players.
Dennis. Don't get so worked up. It is, when all is said and done only a game of football. You can damage your health, send your BP into the stratosphere etc. We want you here on the forum, not lying in a hospital bed.
Fair enough.
That said, being born and raised south of the river I have a quite rampant hatred for tomorrow’s rivals so turning a discussion about those shit-houses into a debate about the head coaches future does not sit well with me old chap!
I’m glad someone cares.
there's loads of people on here who know much more than him - formations, players, when to put subs on - some of them know absolutely everything.So let’s just go for broke and sack the manager now before the inevitable happens?
Who will replace him?
Levy just needs to ask.
I don't like the talk of Poch leaving, and I don't think he will for a while, unless there really is any deep lying issues.
The day he does decide to leave then we need to aim for managers of Champions League calibre.. Always liked the though of Carlo Ancelotti. Thomas Tuchell or Erik ten Hag would also be good managers to have.
I've always thought we would end up with Mourinho though. He said he wants a project different to what he has had before. He is a serial winner, and would probably take us to a new dimension, however I would love to be a fly on the wall for any meetings between him and Levy.
aulinhobored:That's a joke - right?
I'd rather have Allardyce, Pulis or Warnock
We'd get all three for 10 years - on Mourinho's inevitable pay off when we sack him.
Why do so many people let their overly fertile imaginations run away with them, more often than not based on the fevered musings of some fifth rate journo generating sales on made up stories for the gutter press.
Yeah also a happy Jan, an Ndombele, a Wanyama and a Parrott as well...
