Gripping times for Tottenham Hotspur football club obsessives, as conflicting reports about the Mauricio Pochettino’s future rebound across the Internet.
Just days ago, a vision of sweet calmness and contentment was painted by Football London‘s highly regarded Alasdair Gold.
Mr Gold has a privileged position amongst THFC bloggers, in that he has a Premier League press pass.
Mr Gold naturally gets to know club personnel along the way and will be seen as a personable, friendly face. Someone one might be able to confide in.
This quote very much looks like a confidence being shared.
However, there’s been a small avalanche of entirely conflicting information from both The Telegraph and ESPN who are generally regarded as your actual thoroughbred mainstream outlets by most people.
Today, Mr Gold has quite understandably returned to his club source for further clarification.
This clarification has produced a Journalistic 180°.
One would describe Liverpool as a calm club, presently. In an atmosphere such of such calm, are Fenway Sports discussing Klopp’s future?!
Of course, they are not.
A state of calm could never be vaguely equated with a discussion of a possible dismissal from post.
He wants to go to Utd and win stuff…
Gazza your boy McGinn scored two more for Scotland tonight.Sadly he could be headed for Utd.
I have said all along Kane will go in summer unless we win PL or CL. I don’t think this changes that at all. Just makes it easier and less emotional for him. I just hope he tries until end of season.
Yes! Redknapps coming back to take Levy to his predicted 3rd. 😯
Yep, that’s exactly what he meant.
ENIC OUT.
Only inevitable within the culture of dysfunction ENIC and Levy have made their trademark.
Levy has appointment lots of bad managers and sacked lots of good ones…
ENIC are the ones that need to understand how important results are. If they did then perhaps they’d back the manager sufficiently….
Any fan who still makes excuses for ENIC seriously have problems mentally…
That would suit Levy, take all the attention of him, and Mourinho is loved by the press for the stories he generates.
If it’s divisive Mourinhio aagh he will ruffle a few feathers!
Loris is injured, and Harry is only a phone call away. Players would have had to be asked what they thought.
Sounds like it David, club statement mentioned something about more to follow in the coming days.
Well those two mentioned would have been available on Monday morning.
Just listening to some of Pochs statements about agendas in the dressing room and some of the self defeating things he did on the field, I think Poch’s heart wasn’t in it anymore. Playing Aurier again and again. Holding back Tanguy, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, never playing the same team twice. Playing Eriksen, dropping Verts. Weird substitutions, too late in a game to make a difference. All very peculiar. Maybe he wanted out, can’t blame him if he did.
Rest assured his replacement has already been done!
Hoping for a performance bump as the shower of sh** that played our last game would struggle to beat the dog and duck.
What… While they were away on international duty?
Poch next destination probably Bayern Munich.
Suppose they had made their minds up, why string it out. If they are to qualify for C L they need to start winning games now. The team weren’t playing for Poch overall, I’m sure Levy consulted Harry Kane, Hugo etc, to see what they thought, obviously the players had lost faith in Poch.
Absolutely.Top four finances was all that mattered,to be syphoned off into the ENIC coffers with the absolute minimum expenditure incurred.
The fans will realise eventually ,but it might take too long.
As Five Live alluded to the timing of the sacking was strange before the Sat derby.
At what point does this become reality to most fans….its clear as day they use fans money in a booming market to create and build a property portfolio – they have no interest in winning anything…time is a healer and it becomes the norm …not to me!!
Thanks to ENIC the football club is dead long live the club.
True but perhaps it was a coded message by Poch that after years of unfulfilled promises which never materialised he was resigned to the fact that he would never receive significant financial backing from the Board.
Think he meant that winning the Champions League was going to be as good as it gets at Spurs, without financial backing the Premier League was never a possibility.
Nobody, not Guardiola, not Mourinho could have done a better job than Poch given the same finances. So farewell Mauricio, you restored pride in being a Spurs supporter in my case at least. I have supported them since 1967 and like us all there have been great times, great players, mostly Cup runs, never a real title challenger. I have seen some terrible teams and awful football, too much in fact. But Mauricio you were Bill Nicholson’s heir, but you weren’t backed, sadly, you and “we” deserved better. Thanks mate, and thanks to your staff for the great memories, you deserved better, but for you Poch the best is yet to come.
ENIC’s ‘running’ of Spurs is nothing but a charade, designed to prop up their property business….
In this results driven game who ever takes over will be under instant pressure to deliver an exciting brand of football plus elusive silverware, otherwise it could all turn messy turn toxic in the stadium back to the revolving door of managers where Levy sacked 10 managers in 13 years!
One of Botch’s problems David. He spoke in riddles .
Dont give him too much credit. It wouldn’t take a genius to figure out a pay rise and playing for a better team was the right choice.
Yep but perversely oddly if he had won the trophy!
Think he knew it David, he said as much after that game.
After 5 years in charge of presiding over a team of nearly but not quite winners, nice guy, harsh but inevitable end to Poch’s reign when IMO he should have bowed out following the CL final.
As for Kane, if he has any sense he’s off, and he won’t be alone. Fair play to Kyle Walker, the butt of many fans jokes, he was way ahead of the game, he saw through all the new destination/ shopping centre bull. Not so slow Kyle, he had the last laugh anyway.Danny Rose and Christian Eriksen and Toby and Verts, they’ve all realised they’re winning nothing with ENIC. So Harry for your own good mate, Go.
Levy needs someone to deflect attention from himself, so who better than Jose. The press would love it, and after a wins the fans fickle as usual would forget Poch.
The more I think about it Maureen until the end of the season could suit both parties.Whatever you think about him and his methods the main thing is he’s a proven winner.Plus for such a short time he would possibly work with what he has thus saving Levy lots of money.
He could even get us the FA cup before he rides off into the sunset.Happier days !
Jam Roly Poly has already come out and said he’d walk back to Tottenham. Lord save us
Do you think Kane will be happy with the news?If he needed convincing to go this could do the trick.Plus Poch would look to take him wherever he goes.I think Sonny would feel the same too.
I agree about Ten Hag though.He would work with young players.
We will get the usual lunatics like Ginola and Hoddle offering their services over the next few days
Will be a caretaker manager until after January at best.
Ok…I WANT ERIK TEN HAG. I wish Levy had just backed Poch. That said, even when flying high we had no plan B and over relient on one or two players. I think sacking Poch now opposed to end of season gives levy time to keep Kane and Son onside.
Another name on 5Live and in papers Julian Nagelsman. Probably more like it, cheaper than Maureen.
Predicted he would go in November… But gob smacked still, especially as thought Ole would go first. Who do we get? I pray it’s not Jose as I would really really struggle to support us.
Enter the rigged, handsome new leading man to the show…..just until the last episode in May. So long THFC, what’s left is a stage show.
The fix is in , it’s all going Hollywood style, smoke and mirrors.
I hope that you are right Eddie. THFC have only being kidding themselves, and the Supporters since ENIC have come on the scene, lets hope the Wake Up Call is about to happen.
5Live saying Maureen favourite to take over, I will be flabbergasted if he does under the same financial regime inflicted on Poch. Maybe until the end of the season, keeping his face in the shop window, and achieving a brilliant fourth place finish and Champions League again. Would not touch us long term. It will be a cheapskate appointment long-term, but Mourinho would probably be be good for a lot of fans, and it would take the heat off Levy, so maybe I’m going to have my flabber gasted.
Anyone complicit with this charade, is a brainwashed retard….
You’re right of course and all those season tickets are bought and paid for,money in the bank for ENIC.But next season could be interesting if no CL and revenues plunging.
Thats it. In a Nutshell. It makes no difference who the next Manager is .
Botch is gone . He will not have anything bad to say against Levy , Enic . His huge Pay Off will have the Gagging Order stapled on .
Another one bites the levy dust. Next please. More of the same. Next please.
Demonstrate against who Eddie ? Levy !!!!!! Its all a bit late for that I’m afraid. Most of the Numbers that pass through the turnstiles paying through their noses have no idea what has gone on for the past 3 years , indeed for the past 20 years .
Manager gone, Golden bullet. Eriksen, Alderweireld, Verts, Kane, Rose and Son to follow. Brave new world.
One ENIC FC Shill talking up another ENIC FC Shill. LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope the fans who don’t boycott the next home game against Bournemouth have a strong demonstration planned.
Yes bury bad news on a Friday evening (international break).
Poch has probably partially agreed..Poch ”a want this”; Levy “i cant give you that”..Poch”then its pointless”….Levy “ok”
Not a hope
Man i cant believe hes gone i only just realised… The Boy was right about all this as well as per usual… I still hoped poch would stay and be backed… Sad times
Graham Roberts , once a legend now just attempts to intimidate people into buying Levy’s bollox. Going nowhere eh?
Ex football club
I wonder if Ben Davies heard the news before kickoff tonight.Or will he hear at half time.
They should start a political movement, they’d fit right in with all the others!
That useless shower who don’t know their left foot from their right will be flying round the field like f*ckng new born lambs against the Hammers. Or maybe they only turn up for Champions League nights , they’re so brilliant. Really pissed with this.
I’ve seen a lot of garbage over the years at Spurs, but these owners top the lot.
More mediocrity, more zero ambition more of the same old expectation management from the board that expect the SEVENTH HIGHEST WAGE BILL to be sufficient.
ENIC OUT. They are nothing but liars and crooks….
Ha yeah. In the end Roberts knew as much as the rest us.
Roberts and all the other Legend employees can go fukc themselves as well
What next…ohh, looking forward to the next manager saying “we are in a project, give me 5 years”!!!….agghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Gutted, feel sick…absolutely hate ENIC with a passion..!!
If Levy hasn’t got Mourinho lined up then what’s the point
Levy to poach Brendan Rodgers
For sure. Whether its juventus, madrid, manure, he will be backed wherever he goes next… I would like to see us back him though
News just in Eriksen, Vertonghen & Alderweireld all sign contract extensions.
I jest.
God Speed Mo Po. Thank you for that night in Amsterdam. It still gives me goosebumps and Ill never forget it.
Poch will have no trouble finding a new club, hopefully they back him financially and he sticks up right up you know who.
I can’t say what I really think of him, one League Cup in twenty years for Tottenham Hotspur says it all.
Levy’s statement tells you all you need to know about him.
Best manager since Bill Nicholson, hung out to dry by Levy and most of that cowardly bunch of players, who Poch turned into Internationals, should be ashamed of yourselves, and you can stick your sudden discovery of form for the new manager where the sun don’t shine. I omit Sonny and a few others from that gang of no marks.
Poch has left the building.
He’s been sacked, left whatever, the real villain is still there. We’ll never prosper on the football field till he’s gone.
He’d walk into most jobs in the world, Manure would take him in a heartbeat.
If they sack Poch then they’re even more incompetent than I ever imagined. Let me tell you, that’s awfully incompetent….
Calm before the storm.
Highly regarded, don’t make me laugh. He is an unpaid spin doctor for Levy and Cullen.
