At last. An endorsement from a Spurs coach that being the bright eyed little boy that your auntie likes to have pop round for high tea on Sundays – isn’t someone you’d want in your football team. Can Mourinho shape Pochettino’s “good boys” into winners?
A team of good boys, nice boys, the only thing that they win at the end of the season is the fair play cup. Which is something I’ve never won and I’m not interested in winning that…

It spoke volumes that the highlights of last night’s game were a scuffle between our own players at half time and how the coach endorsed it at full time.
Everton will have gone to bed feeling somewhat short-changed, whereas Spurs will hopefully understand that a more cogent opponent would have consigned them to the lower half of the table. The same old mid-table mediocrity sketch that Pochettino left us in.
Make no mistake, I’m not trying to rewrite history, last night was extremely dull game of football. By the hour mark, canned crowd noises had begun exiting the billion pound stadium.
Teams that WIN titles have to freshen up to stay at top. We won nothing, came very close. So dot Is & cross Ts to finish job. We didnt do the 2nd so cant do the 1st
It isnt up to Levy to make us great, just provide funds for a MANAGER to do so. Klopp, Guardiola , Fergie, Bill, Busby etc ran the playing side & chose the players. The old way was the best way to run a club.
We were 14th when Mourinho joined actually. Now we’re 8th. Not disagreeing that Levy’s lack of investment is the key factor for the regression in our team here but Poch’s possession football was getting use nowhere.
Poch didn’t leave us in mid table, he also never once finished the season in mid table. I am not saying he was the best coach the world had ever known, but we need to at least be honest. We are lower now than when Jose joined, and this mess is down to levy. Poch was complicit, he let levy get away with it. Much like when ENIC arrived, seasons like this were considered good, but as we rose up, we needed more and ENIC refused to provide, when Poch arrived the CL was the elusive promised land, when we needed more he failed. We shouldn’t re write history, but it’s clear to see, levy can turn poor to good, but has no clue what it takes to turn good to great, this has resulted in good returning to poor.
By this time next year we’ll see a different Tottenham (Josés Tottenham) with a different style of play. Josacramento don’t be distracted from your plan👍
In ten years of management he won FCK all. Contradict that
But in other news I did like your closing comment
“By the hour mark, canned crowd noises had begun exiting the billion pound stadium.”
You & Tapper dig out Poch at every opportunity I suggest you have a look at the final table in each season he was with us.
His time had come to an end but why is the question some will argue about.
The whole football world knows what is wrong with the club.
