Past his sell by date in the prem.

In reality, we probably should have sacked Poch after 16/17 and appointed someone like Mourinho. It's what other clubs bent on silverware would have done.
We stuck it put thinking Poch could keep the improvement going, but in hindsight that was the plateau. Squad has only deteriorated since then, by the time we got Mourinho in, and then Conte, the parts that were left had deteriorated too much.
Said before, Levy's stubbornness in not accepting that this squad had peaked has been damning.
yes the last 4yrs have been wasted
I for one was happy Poch went, that last full season was not right, the team were poor in many games
getting in Jose to try to win something was OK by me, but why sack him the week of the final ?
Levys ego has cost this club, with Jose we may have won the cup final
this great business man wh takes to tuck up the agreed transfer deals then loses the player, keeps hold of duffers because he cant get what he thinks they are worth

Wow good argument !!
What's yours then?
Go I dare you to put a counter argument up because all you've been doing is dancing around my words as opposed to debating the actual point.
I'll wait...
He hasn’t won a CL knockout game since 2015 btw
We failed to win the league in the most attainable season, when all the clubs with greater financial means than us struggled for one reason or another. We talked ourselves into the idea that if we just tweaked things and kept the band together we'd come good. It was false hope.
If one thought that what the squad needed to get over the hump was an experienced manager with a history of winning trophies, 17/18 was the year to hire than manager - the squad was at its peak.
As I said, by waiting until the wheels came off we just guaranteed that no matter who the manager was the car was already broken. You can argue that what we needed was more investment, I'm not going to argue that point - my statement is limited to the context in which it was decided we needed a "winner" like Mourinho to get the squad over the hump.
English...lol that funking ship sailed and sank a long time ago we are the only country thats sold its water. We dump shit in our rivers have sold control of our nuclear reactors mean while the patriots are pointing like Hoijberge at Syrians in dinghies. Only thing run worse than Spurs under ENIC is the country

What point , you were using a your made up figures from your extensive research to mock someone posting an interview with an ex-manager. And I was pointing out you were wrong because you made up a statement to take the piss.
lol You're crazy, that's like saying that Liverpool should have sacked Klopp in 2017 when they didn't win the CL. What we should have done is given Poch the tools to succeed like Liverpool did because there is a strong possibility that things may have turned out just like them.
You've got your years screwed up. Leicester was 15/16, Poch's second year, where we collapsed at the death and came 3rd, only 70 points in the end, but our first CL qualification since Redknapp.
Then 16/17 was the last year at WHL, undefeated at home, 86 points and came 2nd to Conte's Chelsea.
Poch was one of the hottest commodities in world football at that moment, rightly so.
That was also the moment at which the stadium project kicked into its maximum gear. It was an inconvenient moment for major squad investment/overhaul.
But, that was the moment.
Then and now, the manager wasn't the issue.
Fair enough you make a point with the misquote, I don’t know what was the thinking there.
But if you think that Mourinho’s only issue with Levy was that he didn’t let him play the league cup final, you’re very naive.
Prove it
I don’t believe I am. Making assumptions about a relationship you know absolutely nothing about, is naive. Jose may have had loads of issues with Levy. I’ve no clue. This may be the only one. I’ve no clue about that either. I assume he wanted more money spent. I assume he was a bit pissed at being sacked, cup final or not. But I don’t know.
You KNOW why the misquote happened. I’m sure you do.
Klopp lost the:
2016 carabao
2016 Europa
2018 CL
before he got HEAVY backing and then won every trophy available.
That’s the difference between Klopp and Poch.
Spurs only club I have no connection with - Mourinho
Apologies if it's already been posted, but this is a BIG hammer blow to Levy, or might I say "Mr Levy Club", which was deliberate and brilliant by Jose. You can mess about with small fish but when you upset big time managers like Mourinho and Conte, prepare for some sun tzu art of war type shitzicles.

Wasn't that partially down to losing Berbatov to United and losing Keane to Liverpool. Then having Fraizer Campbell as a replacement and Darren "Sandra could have scored that" Bent. The Season before United snapped up Carrick. It was our inability to challenge properly and keep out star players, it still happens Modric/Bale and probably this summer Kane. I'm glad you agree Enic under Levy's tenure have made so many glaring footballing errors. They only had to shell out that dosh due to failure to replace two top players they let go. Berbatov on his own was a match winner.
They shelled out money from their own pockets because we were flirting with relegation that season.
