Forget a short term glamorous appointment. Give the job to a manager with along term strategy and give him the rest of the season to bed in.

We're theowing the last 5 years away and have gone back to an AVB style manager, albeit one with better pedigree. We should have gone for someone philosophically similar to Poch. A Nagelsmaan or a Ten Hag.
100%. Now our next manager will be hampered by the Jose Years
Ebb and flow mate. Ebb and flow.
So only FC Dubai got more players than Poch.....awwwwww poor Pochy
He didn’t lose form he was dropped over the summer for no reason
I'd imagine Jose spent more in a couple of years at Man Ure than Poch did in over 5 years at Spurs. Didn't exactly spend it well
Question - 12-18 months from now, of our current players, who's still on the squad and who's gone?
Not sure how much I care, and more importantly I’m not sure how much they care either. We’ve lost so much hunger. The players, not the fans. If anything the fans hunger has proportionally increased versus the Teams hunger.
The current manager is being hampered by the Pochettino years.
It makes me laugh me when people say Jose leaves a trail of mess behind him but absolute silence on our last manager.
Poch got sacked at Espanyol because they were bottom of the league with 2 wins in 13.
Jumped ship at Southampton with a fire storm for them that summer where Koeman virtually had to do whole rebuild.
And got sacked from us when we were 14th in the league and had picked up 25 points from our last 24 games.
Well in two seasons he bought two DMs, a CM a Striker, two CBs and a RB, then won a cup double.
Personally, I’d take it
So a £400 million in 2 seasons for a league cup and a cup none of the big teams (and remember he was at man ure) compete in.
Pochettino threw it away by squandering that time by somehow failing to win anything with that group and quickly got found out when it had come to the end of its cycle. Every bit the heir to Bielsa.
Did you not watch us in the league from Jan 2019 to November 2019? It was an absolute car crash which is why he got sacked.
If only poch had thought to fail at top 4 finishes so we could get in to the Europa & challenge for that. He was doing it all wrong.
I’d happily win the Carabou and EL and finish 2nd within two years while spending roughly what Poch spent winning nothing in 5.
Maybe a Carabou and EL is beneath you though, and you prefer losing CLs and throwing away title challenges.
Glorious
We were in Europa under Poch and got knocked out by Fiorentina. Lost to Besiktas too.
Jose won the PL that year.
No, no Poch got us to 2nd with a much smaller spend
Mourinho took a man ure team that recently won the F A cup and spent nearly £400 million adding to a that team to deliver what exactly?
Oh and a couple of years ago when i said we needed to win something to break the drought most argued top 4 was far more important.
But lets be honest, it shouldn't be a 50/50 fight between Pochor Jose, it should be who is best for Spurs, Poch wasn't, Jose isn't
Sadly the squad Poch built is beyond repair
In Pochs tenure, Jose won three of his 22 trophies
You will never, ever spin that not winning trophies is better than winning them.
As I said, while Jose was winning stuff, we wasn’t. Jose also had to spend a fortune on Lukaku, while Poch didn’t because he inherited Kane.
