In my opinion we don't need another manager with a 5 year plan, talks of 'potential' and 'growing' into the role. I want someone with a proven track record of winning trophies/titles who is ruthless in his decision making regarding squad members and has no favourites. Someone the players will totally respect and walk through fire for. He will take a season to sort the wheat out from the chaff and bring in the players he wants. Then we will have a side capable of genuinely challenging for major trophies.
Before you ask, my choice from the list above is Allegri.
I'd absolutely be pissed if we announce Howe
Dr Tottenham would soon change that!

It’s been a pleasure gentlemen.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be next door, swallowing a frisbee.
We haven’t come this far to bring Jol back no disrespect. One thing Poch has done for us in our 4 seasons of CL football is make us a name, we can realistically go for the higher calibre of manger now. We are in a different place to 5-10 years ago.

Can you please, if you're going to make the same fucking points about poch on every cunting fucking thread here, can you at least use different languages so it becomes even vaguely interesting?
Otherwise, shut your fucking mouth.
You fuck.
P. S Its not that I disagree with many of the points. I just don't need to see the exact same thing on every fucking thread. Ta
Just to add, I know I was in a minority, but I never hated AVB. Thought he was a bit unlucky tbh. Imagine if after year one of Poch we’d sold Eriksen, then after year two we sold Kane, Vertonghen had retired, Dembele had juju put on him by his mum and Levy appointed Tim Sherwood as DOF to tell Poch how to manage and Levy had promised Poch NDombele but bought him Clint Dempsey.
It would probably have looked something like this season, only even worse, not the slightly mundane but reasonably effective snooze AVB actually delivered.
You think Sky would do that? Seems a bit harsh to get sacked off the back of the results of the team his brother managesBetter add Gary Neville to the list. Apparently he's likely to get sacked if England Women don't win their next match. And he'll probably be cheap.
If we´re bottom by May he should probably go
I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble.
they do but Emery hasn’t done sod all for Woolwich, Poch has done a lot for us in difficult circumstances. It’s probably over for Poch but the situations are very different, Emery is their Moyes, the fall guy.
Wherever Rogers has gone, he's improved them. He'd be a superb appointment.
Just to put things into a bit of a perspective, we sacked AVB in December 2013 after 16 league games when we were 7th in the league and 5 points away from top 4. We had 27 points then. Now we would only be able to achieve 26 points after 16 games... and that would be if we win the next 4.
I know we were playing some awful football and the sacking came after a 5-0 drubbing to the dippers, but still. I also know Poch has earned a lot of credit for his first 4 1/2 seasons with us, CL final included, but this is our worst run of form since the infamous 2 points from 8 games that got Ramos the sack. And he won the League Cup.
If Poch showed signs that he is able to turn this around and bring us back to our previous level, then show he has learned from his mistakes and turn us into a team that can win trophies, then yes, I would back him unconditionally. So far he hasn't shown anything in this respect.

He was thinking of waltzing into Madrid as CL winner
