This evening Manchester United mounted a daring comeback against Premier League new boys Sheffield United, after initially trailing by 2 goals to nil.
The final score was 3-3.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s 2019/209 season to date has been on a par with Tottenham’s and it’s unsurprising some fans were lacking belief in their boss.
The once legendary winning machine Man United, currently occupy 9th spot in the Premier League and it is not unfair to say that their fans are unable to take anything for granted right now.
Goals from Williams, Greenwood and Rashford barely spared United’s blushes at Bramhall Lane tonight.
#OleOut has been trending on Twitter this evening, and the cries for former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino were doing the rounds from comparatively early on in the game.
OPINION
Given Daniel Levy’s track record with previous senior staff, it would be quite a surprise if Poch was legally able to step into another club management role immediately – at all – let alone for another Premier League Tottenham rival.

Agree the churn is long overdue as our squad needs a minor overhaul – particularly the defense and creative midfield areas. Eriksen needs launching from a cannon aimed roughly at the continent.
As for Levy loosening his wad?
I gave up hope of that ever happening years ago. Jose’s intial ‘I’m happy to be inheriting such a great squad’ noises are just Levy blowing smoke up everyone’s arse.
I could swear the managerial in-door at Spurs is fitted with an ENIC indoctrination mind-wipe device of some sort.
To be fair, we won’t be moaning too many 1-0 wins. Now 1-0 defeats would be a different story. I’ll take a 1-0 win in the Champion’s League final any day!
Hahaha … yep, I remember it. Saw it in a late night cinema in Peckham when it first came out, about ’78!
I agree with you, but winning a league cup would have given the squad a taste of glory and silverware. That kind of thing can be addictively habit forming.

Now he hates the Chelsea scum coz
Jose is a YIIIIIIIIID
Jose is a yiiiiiiiiid😁. I’ll sing that later. Looking forward to some expressive uncomplicated football. Ain’t been overly excited about a match for a while. I just wanna see some good tottenham winning football.
Rubbish club though. Im just glad he’s got mistakes to learn from.
I’d shoot him. He’s the enemy.
What if they sacked winston churchill though.. And its adolf hitler telling you to get in that trench? 😆
All won at the very top clubs in each respective leagues though.. Most managers at madrid manure chelsea win titles. Clubs with the most money this is expected. He had money to burn at each club…. Now with no money we will see how good a manager he really is.. The truth is after joses most recent failings at his clubs his stock has fallen. Hes not the powerhouse he once was
This
Hope you are right mate.. But his last outing he spent 360 million on the likes of bailey, fred. Lindeloff, mikhatarian, lukaku, alexi sanchez and his only true quality signing was pogba, whom he soon fell out with, very publicly…. He spent loads at manure and they were no better than us
Success is not a “relative” of pochs. Not related at all.
He’ll get games to start with and if he shines bright enough he’ll continue to get games. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

Were Ramos and Graham backed?
I should’ve expected that…
…but no, I’ve not been trying to post potty mouthed comments, pictures of my meat ‘n two or anything else inappropriate.
Unless the word ‘arse’ counts.
Wouldn’t wanna be in the trenches with a man who respects the sacked squadron leader more than the newly appointed one.
Why is the geezer in the rain coats name still mentioned?
Why won’t pochs name be mentioned in the same length of time?
Why is ramos’s name still mentioned?
“Potty mouth?
Torment was not being in the Champions League, finishing below Arsenal year after year, Poch ended all of that while playing some great football. You my friend are talking out of your bottom, you never seem to do anything else…
Does for me, first ever Champions League final isn’t a historic moment for Spurs? Highest ever Premier League placings? Juande Ramos better than Poch too for winning the League Cup and almost getting us relegated the following season? Not having that…
Half of my posts say ‘hold on, this is waiting to be approved’ before disappearing.
Anyone know why?
You seem to be in denial, Jose did NOT end Barca’s dominance at all. What planet are you on? You’re just denying facts now, go away…

Just backing his players rather than calling them out. It’s his way, and it worked until the last 10 games many of you seem to be judging him on all of a sudden. Wouldn’t wanna be in the trenches with you dudes…
He’ll get Cup games to start with. Shouldn’t have gone out to Colchester, League cup games are useful for blooding young players.
Possibly.
Neither of them were backed, spot on.
Failed to get into the Champions League with no home ground and a meagre wage bill and net spend?
What’s success under those circumstances for you DD, do you even know? Winning the League Cup or something would have been a greater achievement? What is it that he could have won under the circumstances that would have been more impressive than the league placing he secured?
Time and time again you predicted that we wouldn’t finish in the top 4, each time we did. Success is relative, if Maureen wins is the league with the same budget as Poch then i’ll be very happy….

We’ll see how good they actually are over time without Poch. Utd got ‘new manager bounce’ when Ole took over. After a few months it all reverted back to how it was before.
There’s a few players in our team that let Poch down in my opinion. The ex Ajax clique of Verts, Toby and Eriksen stopped trying about half way through last season. Not helped of course by Levy’s incompetent dealings with their contracts and transfer ins and outs. Dele lost his way as well.
Maureen is making the right noises but this is very much the ‘honeymoon period’…
I understand that but had he been backed and the squad had not been left to rot and go stale, things probably wouldn’t have ended up that way…
” the scintillating press of Poch’s team on form will be a distant memory” – they already were a distant memory Easty, under Poch. That’s the point.

I must ask Boro manager Tom how all that works Stevenage lamex Barnet hive regarding the money. Do we pay them, do they pay us even. Do they keep the gates ect. I’m clueless
51 mins on a train. 1 hour in a car. 3 on a bike. 9 walking. Spurs u18s Vs pool. Oh and a 5er to get in. Stevenage. Haringey FC have a perfectly good 3g pitch round the corner. Madness
RIFFS😁
Who remembers the warriors. Fantastic film. Warriors come out to playaaaaay
Gangster films pulled from cinemas. It’s a “blue story. Reality must be censored.
– Mourinho came to Spain to destroy josep and nothing more. And he achieved this goal. Guardiola shamefully fled after the victory of Real Madrid in la liga.
– I enjoy every day without Pochettino in Tottenham. He was a club executioner, he tortured you for five and a half years. And you loved your tormentor. I would be ashamed to be in your place. The main thing is trophies, not the quality of the game. Pochettino failed to give either quality or great victories. Tottenham lost almost six years, others during this time in Europe made a big leap forward.Show me the trophies of Pochettino, if he won trophies, then I am ready to admit that I am wrong.
Jose looks and sounds like a man who’s taken a long hard look in the mirror since Manure, and likely seen a good therapist.
He’s pragmatic and tactically astute when it comes to changing games – things Poch wasn’t.
I also think he’s smart enough to know that youth development was/is an essential part of what Poch built at Spurs under our financial constraints. That he can’t just dismiss it with a cheque book here.
Many on here know that I am not a fan of Jose – but personally I want to give him a little time. I think long term you will be proved right, and its a shame about LoCelso, but the first half against West Ham was the best half we have had in almost 12months. we were fluid and playing for each other, we had a little bite that was all focused in the right way, and the diving was cut out. We looked a lot better. That was helped by West Ham being so poor, but still.
Which won’t be many. Strong talented squad
In two windows (the start on next season) only the cream of the squad will still be here. The duds and the weak gone.
Yep your right it was going down hill and he did get found out but there is so much going on at the club that we don’t know about. He will learn and get better from it,Maureen has experience and all the agents on speed dial that is a very big bonus. I’m hoping he picks well and levy gives in from his tight wad nature. Everyone keeps on saying our squad is amazing ,haven’t we all been ripping them apart for the last 8 months? Keeper and all defence needs rebooting ,half a midfield and only one injury prone striker.
Black Friday. Good time to treat yourself. I’m after brooks ergon handle bar grips for the bike. Well I’m worth it😁
If jol was backed? All ifs
But he wasn’t backed and now he’s gone. If arry was backed?
If he had been backed just a little when we were flying it would have been different . Classy players to the squad makes the squad more confident and determined,no ma garment needed. Levy is a gimp as everyone knows.
I’ve had a gut full of 75% possession passing it sideways in front of teams, before collapsing in a heap and getting picked off in the last twenty minutes.
Teams worked us out under Poch and we quickly became predictable.
Anyone got a spare pen?
Oh that’s trophies. 3? This why I never put my hand up at school 😊
|Just accept it Levy’s fault or not, working miracles Poch had done his best taking the club as far as he could go. Thats it. End of|!
Tanganga?
Built them to do what? To win? He failed so he’s a failure, the thing José aint
Yey I can put my hand up. I know the answer. 25
Didn’t levy put this squad together for him to win nothing with? I love the guy don’t get me wrong. Love arry too. Both nearly gave me a “happy ending” alas. Sperm wasn’t liberated. Balls hurting 😊😁
Clueless. Just remind me how many titles Jose has won??
He built this Spurs team, he’s their god, their creator. Jose is just passing through…
No, just see Jose as ‘risk averse’ and younger players are a risk to him. At Utd he called some of the younger players out for not playing well rather than build their confidence.
They guy never had a playing career so he doesn’t understand the mindset of a developing younger player. His methods work with seasoned pros because you call them out and they react, younger players need to be shown faith.
Jose is just a stop gap and doesn’t fit well long term, he could be gone as early as next season…
Clearly as you want ENIC out do something about it by organising an online Petition as they have done across the road!!
If I hear pochs name again I’ll scream like a little b!#ch😊
Just looking for NEGATIVE possibilities?
I agree, but you can’t ignore his methods are not focused on developing younger players. Levy clearly panicked in fear of missing out on top 4. Had he backed Poch properly there probably wouldn’t have been the staleness that Levy is desperately trying to find a quick fix for.
Typical Levy, everyone else gets the blame for his shoddy efforts on transfers and contracts. I want Maureen to win us something, I support the club. However the whole situation is of Levy’s making and nobody else…
I know I’m gonna be floating out the lane tomorrow night. May the European burials begin. No one knows how to bury European teams like José
Wakey wakey, wake up and smell the coffee beans me lud as immediate impressions of Jose are positive!!
The history books says stuff about Matteo at Chelsea. The history books says nothing about poch at Tottenham (or anywhere else)
Yes . Painful for Man Utd .
Who ever has won something in this league is a better coach than those who haven’t in this league. The tinker man was a better coach than poch in this league. Better means successful
Proper baller yes. What makes you think he’s finished here man?
At that time those mangers had one of the most expensively assembled squads on the league.
Where’s DiMatteo now Serie B or something? Grant, Russia?
Insult to Poch to even compare….
Maureen doesn’t trust youngsters and never has, we shall see…
Proper footballer LoCelso finished before he’s started under Maureen. AVB type tactics, all positional with quick transition on the break.
The more time goes on under Jose the more dull it will become, the scintillating press of Poch’s team on form will be a distant memory. 1-0 wins and moaning will eventually ensue…
Not happening, their owners are almost as bad as ours to work for. He knows Emery an will be aware of what’s going on there. Poch will go to Utd.
Historically sparky I imagine a huge police presence in and outside the stadium for the return contest!
Prince Andrew. Rule 43. HMP😁
Not arf.
Should Poch cross the N London divide as did Terry Neil and George Graham do in the past that will spice up the N London derby!!
He must be seeing helle. 😊
With 3 PL mangers in the firing line will Poch be tempted by the Arse Job.
It’s happened before N London managers crossing the divide namely Terry Neil and George Graham respectively.
I am berry berry happy. Meow!!.Ouch!!!!
Not random. Purely academic now. When I last mentioned introducing Troy Parrott to the starting line up?
As said rhe difference I saw against West Ham was greater hunger and desire, better agility alround plus an animated Jose who rest assured wont leave it to the 80th min (as Poch oddly did in in our defeat at Anfield) to make subs.
“I don’t need players ………… I don’t need players ….I’m so happy with the players I have.
The king is dead, long live the king!
Mourinho did alright with Madrid this year
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_Real_Madrid_CF_season
Did grant win anything? Matteo won the fa cup and the CL so he’s a better coach in my book and the history books.
Spoons?
Useless for jellied eels.
7th wage budget, 17th highest net spend. Constantly top 4 with no home ground and our first ever Champions League final.
The tools José has at his disposal were provided by Poch. Therefore his legacy stands and will do in whatever Maureen does with them.
No style/class up norf mate. Most eat with spoons
That was random. When have I ever been against playing youngsters?
Partly smacking of desperation good on Olle for having faith in the kids when contrary to Easty’s reluctance of playing youngsters it’s my view that if a youngster is good enough then play him!
Just watched highlights..
Yeah they have surprised everyone and kept it the standard well. Man u seem to be bringing in lots of youngsters and they seem not bad which is worrying.
Yeah confident to get the 3 points we need to get through and next weekend .
Expecting a routine victory interesting Jose team selection.
Rigger boots team
Equally Brendon Rodgers deserves special praise for moulding an exciting side.
Got to hand it to promoted resilient Blades and their talented unfashionable work ethic Manager, Chris Wilder who are a breath of fresh air!
