Poch has done amazing given the circumstances. Pep or mourinho probably wouldn't have got us in to the final to being with.

Pep or mourinho would not have taken over at spurs to start with because they want, demand and expect instant success with ready made talent, so would not have been interested in Levy's 25 year plan for some success of sorts they have to buy into the bald ones philosophy or it won't work.
I assume the success you speak of is the new Overground station at White Hart Lane
Being late 40's it feels like Enic have slowly pushed us along, like the tectonic plates pushing India up into China and creating the Himalaya.
Because it has been slow, we have not noticed the change everywhere.
The next 5 years will show if Enic have the acumen to create a Sporting/Events/Lifestyle Juggernaut, they all get that long for me (Poch as well if he and his team wants it). After all, if they secure an NFL franchise the site could become the biggest earning sports arena in the World, no?

Oh fuck you're back and still talking shite.
What 'very good point'? It's an opinion or more correctly an assumption.
I thought Mourinho won the CL with a portuguese team. So it isnt entirely impossible.
I don't have the feeling that everyone is pulling in the same direction like they were 3 or 4 years ago. Back then the players were younger, hungrier, fitter, on long contracts, they were prepared to run through brick walls for Poch and it showed on the pitch and with our results. There was a steely focus, a unity
Now, it's all a bit messy. Aging players, players running down contracts, constant injuries, no definitive playing style, uncertainty as to whether Poch will get the players he needs to rebuild, Poch himself is not so certain to remain at the club and be part of the rebuilding process
The season ahead will be a tough one I feel. Somehow Poch has to again create that unity and focus amongst the group. A base where everyone is working as one towards the goal set by Poch. It will be easier if he manages to get the players in that he wants and the likes of Rose, Toby and Eriksen leave because they are no longer committed to the long term at Spurs. Hopefully by the beginning of September things will be clearer

Good point. But it's probably harder these days to do it the way he did it back then.
Fair play to him, it was pretty miraculous even back then.
That was a wacky knockout stage. Porto beat United, Monaco beat Real Madrid and Chelsea, and freakin' Deportivo took out Juve and Milan.
Our players fight till the last minute for the cause. No way we would have reached the CL final based on talent alone. Players really tried their best for the team and for Poch.
