But you didn't expect anything at least up until the Chelsea semi, so Poch became a victim of his own success because after that you started to expect trophies where for 16 years you didnt.I expect more from a a better manager than a lesser one.
I dont care what light it shows me in. The fact you think that always being negative is better than once being positive but changing your views due to changing circumstances says a lot to be fair.
Personally, I´ll be positive and open to any new manager until the time comes that positivity is challenged.
If you think its better to be negative from their first appointment, then that really isnt my problem
There you go. Good work.
Continuing annual profit while the football team continued to come up just short.
The 2 most barren decades in the clubs post war history coinciding with a balance sheet the envy of others.
But the most important thing to remember is what ENIC actually stands for.
How much is their initial paltry outlay now worth as an investment. And who's responsible for managing and repaying the incurred debt over the next 3 decades.
In short, who are the real winners in all of this?

Possibly....I dont have my lifes feelings all mapped out and rigidly stick to how I feel at a single point in my life.You'll be positive to his appointment then if he doesn't achieve what you want in two years you'll become negative again.
I've never said otherwise.
For the one millionth time he should have walked away when Levy refused to back him last summer.
Sure, we'd have missed out on top 4 and the magnificent champions league campaign.
But the long term effect of our most popular manager in a generation walking out on the board who humiliated him would have probably far outweighed those short term highlights.
So indeed, Poch is partly responsible this mess that will take years to get back on track.
That totally encapsulates the problem. Inflexible regarding team formation, player selection and making timely and appropriate substitutions.He’s too inflexible.

Poch - I don’t need any players this window. I am berry happy with the squad.I've never said otherwise.

The only real trophies are the PL and CL according to Poch.By the way, this trophy chatter is pointless.
As the great man has said, they're only good for ego's anyway.
We'd all take an Intertoto at this point...The only real trophies are the PL and CL according to Poch.
But we’re entitled to want a Carabou
We still haven't found out which player gave him that recent infamous dinner invite yet, or have we ??
1 league cup in 18 years under enic who pick the manager who you say has failed.This nonsense if so infuriating.
The reason Pochettino & trophies is an issue for so many, is becasue we've actually had real opportunities to win one. This isn't wishful thinking. Over 6 years, this squad has been more than capable of winning something and have been in positions to do so.
Since he's been here, we've been to a League Cup Final, League Cup Semi-Final, Two FA Cup Semi-Finals & a Champions League final. We've also been one win away from going top of the Premier League (where all we had to do was hold on to a 2 - 1 lead against a 10 man Woolwich).
Whether we got there because of / in spite of ENIC is completely irrelevant. The point is, we got there.
On every single occasion, we have fucked it.
United FA Cup Semi, Chelsea FA Cup semi & CL final. Those three haunt me.
I am arguing with the people saying we haven't progressed under poch because he hasn't won a trophy. If we are going by this logic then 1 league cup in 18 years is awful from enic. Fair enough if we are saying you can make progress without winning a trophy, because then both enic & poch has progressed us.So you honestly don’t think we’ve progressed as a club under ENIC because we haven’t won trophies?
If we do well it's "well done enic", if we do bad it's "sack the manager".A few yeah but that's not really the point.
They are the employers, they take some credit for our progress in the league from when they took over, surely they must take some of the blame for 99% of managers that they employed not winning anything.
If not then they can't take credit for anything that happens on the pitch.
1 league cup in 18 years under enic who pick the manager who you say has failed.
Yeah it was exactly that . You think no trophies from poch in 6 seasons is bad but 1 league cup in 18 seasons is good.What????
That's your argument? Pochettino can carry on regardless, and I should be fucked off with the bloke who employed him because he can't see six years in to the future?
Latest 1 is that poch takes the blame for picking the team. But Enic take no blame for picking the manager & not firing him.But has you don't blame them for what happens on the pitch, what does it matter?
Yeah it was exactly that . You think no trophies from poch in 6 seasons is bad but 1 league cup in 18 seasons is good.
You think poch is doing a bad job & needs to be sacked. But Enic, who picked this crap manager & have chosen not to sack him are still doing real good.
Keep deflecting & Not answering my points on you bashing poch for no trophies whilst excusing enic for 1 league cup in 18. & for strongly thinking poch is useless & should be sacked whilst excusing the people who chose him & who haven't sacked him.
Why can't you just say 0 trophies in 6 seasons is crap & So is 1 league cup in 18.
& poch is doing shit so needs to go & enic are doing shit for not sacking him.
