Pochettino Odds Slashed & More Trouble Brewing At Hotspur Way

By The Boy -

Don’t drop your porridge bowl, there’s been some movement in two of the dullest Tottenham related stories on planet Earth. As the Interlull washes over us like a general anaesthetic, the breaking predictable news is that Mauricio Pochettino is once again the frontrunner for the Manchester United job.

talkSPORT are carrying quotes from Ladbroke’s Alex Apati; “United are already playing catch-up after just three Premier League games and with Solskjaer second-favourite in the Sack Race betting, it’s now looking increasingly likely Pochettino will soon be replacing him.” The bookmaker have slashed the price on the Argentinian finally making a break from his sofa and get back to work.

This isn’t the first time Mauricio has been in pole position for this job, and it remains to be seen just how much patience the Man United board have with Solskjaer who has looked increasingly bereft of ideas.

Elsewhere, Danny Rose’s hard luck tale rumbles on, and Sami Mobel for the Daily Mail understands that the ageing defender won’t be included in any Tottenham squads under José Mourinho.

I take a view that Danny Rose has proved himself far too toxic for anyone in their right mind to consider. The Amazon documentary effectively ended his career. You don’t tell your gaffer to tell the chairman that you’re looking for him.

It would not be a shock if Rose ‘opens his heart’ to a tabloid again in the near future. What might be useful to all concerned, is if he gave up warring with everyone and moved on with his life.

Did I really? So list the names I called you and the other sensitive souls then. I’ll think you’ll find I didn’t.

You were going on about my marriage or my missus or some other juvenile sh*t the other day… Classy mate.

Now you’re going up the route of talking about physical violence because your ability to discuss using words alone is clearly so p*ss poor. Great, even classier!

If you’re so offended, go and find a good councillor or something. I’m sure you’ll get over it eventually… 😂

Would Jose even be here without Poch? Nope.

I said why would I slate the last guy, try and read.

If I have previously been sceptical about Jose it’s because of what he did before he came to us. Three year cycles at Chelsea and Utd with him being sacked at the end of each period in acrimonious circumstances. He was unemployed, He wasn’t poached from elsewhere where he was smashing it. Remember? Forgive me having reservations about him, I’m not the only one either.

If he does well for us then he will have won me over. I’d have preferred to have left Pochettino in charge and let him rebuild the side, and I still stand by that, whatever Jose does. With the transfer activity this summer Poch would have had us back up there, without a shadow of a doubt for me.

However, now we have Jose and if he does well i’ll back him, especially if the football improves on last season…

So, what have I said that is hypocritical exactly? At least I generally get my facts right…

Tanguy still useless is he? 😂

Jacques Santini was a terrible choice, the football under Harry was some of the best I have seen for many years, but we sold Bale and Modric, Villa Boas’s tactics were dire and most Chelsea fans could not believe that Levy employed him. Sherwood was dire as well. I think you could describe Levy’s employment record as patchy at best, and that doesn’t even include the numerous sackings of DoFs, traing and scouting staff.

I am ‘over’ him. We are over him, whoever we are that rate him. We expect Jose to deliver better, we can only go on what the previous guy did. Besides, Jose wouldn’t even be at the club without Poch so he been a key part of what’s going on now.

You seem to lay into Poch’s very impressive record with, us by basically using the last 4-5 months after the final to write him off. We all know that the squad needed a serious makeover after several seasons of neglect. You seem to ignore that aspect.

Anyway, I’ll be a ‘fan’ of any manager that does well for us. Arry, Jol and then Poch took it to a new level. If Jose continues that, I’ll be praising him too.

😆 Mr beans in charge there.. The fact Manure stuck with Ole must be saying something. He was supposed to be caretaker and then back to moulde the next season. If Botch was so brilliant then Manure would have gone for him… Also Everton.. Wise move getting Ancelotte. That guy knows how to win too.

Sacking managers is the way of the game these days though. It is madness….. Look at watford and the chavs. Compared to them Levy has been kind to his managers. He even gave Sherwood a good chance…… I have to admit though I’m no fan of Levy, getting in Maureen and Bale has been good work.. Botch was also a good choice.. Schnapps was also a good choice I loved that man….. Villa boas was all a bit weird though.

And defoe… I think everyone knows what Levys like. Hes been around a long time now.. I sussed him from the start he said he was going to buy all great english youngsters and build a great acadamy… He went out and bought englands B team effectively the likes of dawson huddlestone lennon etc were never englands best.. And he never sorted the acadamy out, when i was hoping for a class of 92 at the lane, an acadamy like benficas able to scout and teach and nurture great players developing them… He raided relegated teams like spam and leeds.. It was clear before that league cup win the guy was in it for the money.

I do have facts right… I have said nothing wrong so you are wrong…… Poch made 27 signings and a few were great but loads of them were rubbish… Nokloudou, stambouli, clinton jie, janssen, fazio, wimmer, vorm, lopez, foyth, davies, aurier, llorente.. No such rubbish on Maureens watch. He has only had 60mil and spent wisely.. Unlike Botch who spent alot more if you want to make comparisons. Look at the hundreds of millions he spent. Regardless of who we sold and the net wage! Levy should be lauded or applauded for that.

Poch had 27 signings in his 6 years. He had hundreds of millions. The best was Son and Toby. He inherited the likes of Kane and the majority of our good players like walker and dembele etc.There was far too much rubbish that came in on Botchs watch. He wasn’t backed for two years I know. I knew this before you were repeating it ever since….. I would say that Maureens first proper single transfer window is better than any of Botchs.. Maureen knew what he needed immediately. And acted.. Botch took years and even left Dembele on the bench for far too long. Sold Siggurs who we needed. He always took too long to address problems, if at all… In any sport at any level you are judged on what you win. Noone remembers the losers. Apart from people like you. You would suck Botch off given the chance. I got bored of talking about his hamster face nearly a year ago now… The loser would have left if he won the champs league last year anyway. He said so himself..

When will the Levyologists wake up to the fact that he sacked ten managers, countless coaching and scouting staff and made innumerable bad decisions in the transfer market, all to the detriment of the club’s progress. Whether one agrees with the nonsensical cost of the new stadium, if Levy had got his ducks in a row, we could and should have had a new or enhanced stadium years ago, but his prevarication has also cost the club a lot of money as it could have been much more cheaply years ago when it should have been initiated. It is laughable to me that Spurs fans think Mourinho is the new Messiah and that Levy is redeemed after twenty years of bad decisions. Mourinho will leave in acronym in due course as he always does, and we will be left with Levy and Enic to continue their egregious control.

You are 100% correct. It has taken me a long time to wake up to Levy’s raison d’etre but for those fans who really believe that he is a dyed in the wool Spurs fans whose first and foremost loyalty is to Spurs should know better. He has only one God. I can understand anybody’s desire to make money in their lifetime, but when he furloughed the staff, that was the end for me. I don’t like Mourinho as a man, but I will naturally celebrate any success we achieve under him, but I will never lose my visceral loathing of Levy and Enic.

It’s as Poch was all about the last six months to some people. We never beat Real Madrid, we never got top four consistently.

Has he suddenly lost the managerial abilities that linked him with all the biggest jobs at one point? Utd tried for him almost two years ago.

Some people might not rate him on here but all the other managers, the ex players etc all go on about how good he is. I’d rather bow to their superior knowledge than a few haters on here.

Before anyone starts, that doesn’t mean I think Jose is rubbish ffs…. 😂

Jose has won loads of stuff, he needs no introduction.

Poch built his name at Spurs and he made us Champions League regulars four seasons running. Had never been done before, not even close.

The football this season has been good, certainly the last game. Last season it wasn’t pretty at all, 25% possession at home etc. Now the squad has been refreshed and the gaps plugged, we look more balanced. The year it took Tanguy to settle had now passed, I could go on.

Yes it went downhill in the end under Poch but that coincided with no signings for a whole year. Last summer only brought in three prospects, one did quite well, one is now on loan in Germany and the other, our record signing is only just coming good.

I see the lack of transfer churn as a key reason for the decline towards the end under Poch. Blame the stadium being built, whatever, that’s the way it was.

If Jose wins stuff and us backed then I’ll have no reason to complain. Up until now there been plenty to not be happy about the running of the football side…

I am saddened by the amount of opprobrium that Poch seems to be receiving from various Spurs fans posting on this site. Football fans, like most people these days, seem to have short memories in this short term social media world in which we currently reside. I generally agree with most of HH’s postings, particularly re Levy and Enic, but he appears to have some inexplicable axe to grind over Poch which I find to be ludicrous. If anybody had told Spurs fans, on the appointment of Poch, that we would have four top four finishes and reach a CL final , they would have been delighted. He was not without his faults, like most football managers, but he gave us back our self respect. He was the best manager we have had since Burkinshaw, and he deserves more respect rather than this litany of pathetic abuse on this blog.

What makes this whole thing laughable is that people that have been down on ENIC are labelled ‘negative’ just because they want better for their club. (That includes the custodian of the blog by the way.)

If Levy comes up with the goods rather than one League Cup in over 20 years then we’ll have no reason to question them. I’m over the moon that Bale is back, that the squad now finally has some fresh blood.

As for the Poch thing, his name came up in two recent blog titles and you don’t want people to discuss him?

It’s quite possible to back Jose but also feel strongly that Pochettino did an incredible job. In fact most people are coming around to that way of thinking. Jose wouldn’t be at the club now if it weren’t for Poch’s achievements.

However if people are going to bleat on about what a deadbeat or loser Poch was, then they’re going to get disagreements. Why? Because the facts clear don’t back up such nonsense.

This isn’t about division, this is about wanting the best for Tottenham Hotspur. We might all have our own take on how that should be implemented. So what?

No need to get aggressive about it but if you don’t want at times heated discussion and start getting personal. Go and watch Antiques Roadshow and learn how to be calm and gentlemanly… 😂

He has the record of delivering our highest ever consecutive league placings in our history, and being also for the first time in our history regular participants in the world’s elite club competition. Four years in the trot.

So you’re judging his whole time on the last half a season in that case? Just to remind you, we signed nobody for a whole year before those three prospects came in. The only club in any top division in the world not to.

That final window was ineffective because we signed three youngsters that needed bedding in. Tanguy was 22 and is only just looking ready a year later, Sessingnon was 19 is now on loan in Germany and only Gio also 22 looked of any use last season.

We needed two full backs, a defensive midfielder, a striker and a better quality option than Moura. Now that’s been addressed the team looks much better.

Poch wasn’t backed properly, I know people like you don’t like it but that’s the truth…

I don’t think Manure tried to poach the Poch anytime.. Dinner is dinner, he had that with the Barca president too….. Real Madrid came in for Poch at one point, and he turned them down to stay loyal to us. Poch admitted this. Then it all fell apart after he was rewarded with his new contract… I don’t think Poch was fluttering his eyelashes, he was loyal.

A lot of people I know were happy to see the back of Poch due to (in the end) the terrible football and loss of the dressing room. We were hurtling downhill fast. Some were obviously not keen for Jose either for various reasons but tbh who else was there to take over? He knows the premier league and English football inside out and has a record second to none. You can say Poch is more successful as it stands but he had five odd years to win something and didn’t. Jose has been there one year and seems on course to actually win us that much eluded trophy. And nobody in their right mind can argue that the football this season has been poor?? He’s adapted his tactics to suit what spurs stand for and that in itself should be applauded. The amount of goals we are scoring is ridiculous. The footballs exciting and fluid. But it still seems not enough for some

I’ve seen the stuff that goes on on here hence why I said I’m reluctant to have my say/2 cents worth coz I’d rather spend time trying to be positive then dealing with negativity. All up for fair and balanced opinions and debate but when it turns in low blows and snide reactions & comments I’d rather forget it. I love the passion for spurs on here and think as fans we deserve a trophy winning team. It’s been way too long Tappa

I think I have a balanced view of Poch? I respect what he done for us but as a person I don’t think he deserves the adulation some people have for him when he’s openly swanning around with a top rivals ex manager flirting for their job when he’s got a job with us. Fergie is the king of tapping up people and I think that situation was a pure p**s take to us fans. Maybe I’m in the minority but I know a few people that were well f**ked off with him for it. Anyways my “love” for Jose is actually a respect for what he’s achieved In his career and the fact people and the media try their hardest to hate on him when he deserves better

I said I have contraversial views on Levy/Enic. My personal viewis when they joined, we spent many a season yoyo’ing up and down teh league. They set in place the club that considers top half finish as a bare minimum, and Europe as the expected minimum. they created the ambition to be more. The problem comes with their view of foootball as the business. They know top 4 brings a lot more wealth than winning trophies, and the cost to turn top 4, to champions does not balance with the rewards. Much like appearing in the CL is only a little less lucrative than winning it, but the cost to push on is so much more. ENIC/Levy did us a great service to get us here, but will never be the owners to see us as champions as the books will not balance (risk/reward/costs…). To me this is short sighted as real wining teams command better sponsorship deals etc… but again, that carries a level of risk, as you need to spend to get there and you may never get there. they gamble on cheap things (in football terms) players coming good, managers going above expectations. The Jose move was likely more to do with TV than trophies, even his backing is on the cheap, but at least, unlike Poch, it seems to be focused to the postions he wants remediating. anyway, so as not to prattle on. I dont judge yuor love (expecation) of Jose, what I do dislike is the negative view of Poch.

Why not? And who are you to say who should and shouldn’t be on here? Is this the east stand blog? Stop getting above yourself. You’re just a normal Joe like everyone else on here.

The thing is there’s always interesting takes on levy/enic/Poch/Jose on here but I’ve never known a fan base to be so divided when we are so close to being a top team. The fact people are saying Poch is instrumental in building the blocks of Jose being here is like saying it’s got nothing to do with Levy either. They’ve all played their part(badly in some instances!) in getting us to this stage at this point. The fact is a lot of people are restless in the quest for glory and just see Jose as the man to finally get us over the finish line..

I couldn’t agree more. If we don’t agree with East Stand and 1882 you are stupid, Jose fan boys, deluded etc.. I can see why you don’t come on here much- neither do I thankfully.

funny you mention Moura – you will see a post below where I call out the exact thing. I have personal issues with jose that are not directly football related, and I also have issues with his football too. My objection is not with Jose fan boys, as much as it is with those that almost act like Poch is our ex lover and you are the best mate. That you cant accept the good of the past and the good of the present. you cant acknowledge what he did for us as it may reduce Jose. Currently Poch has been a far more successful Spurs manager than Jose (not up for debate, it is a fact) not saying it will be forever, but the expectation (and the ability to attract Jose at all) was in no small part to the success of Poch. I wont ever be “over” poch, like I am not “over” jol or redknapp, they are not ex lovers, they are ex managers, that helped us get to where we are, helped to build the foundations and intrisic in our history. I have very unpopular views on Levy/Enic too – but its all about debate.

its ok – your forgiven…but dont do it again.
the problem is you are talking to fans that have seen light and dark days of Spurs, and remember the pain well. The pain of seasons where a win or a loss was as predicatable as a coin flip, the seasons when losses were far more likely than wins. The seasons (26 of them I believe) where we were mocked and jeered on “st totteringsday” and we are not willing to cast aside the strides we took forward by blindly saying “well he didnt win a trophy” I think we all acknowledge that. There are manay managers before him that didnt either. Under poch we moved from also rans to competitors, we were envied by fans all over Europe (and elite coaches) we were a team to be feared, that oppostion fans loved to watch play. He brought consistency and raised our expectation levels to such a point that a CL final appearance is remembered as a massive failure. I can see where people are coming from saying he fell at the last hurdle every time, and some of that was on him (dropping Moura for Kane, instead of Alli for the final for one) however, to ignore what he did, and to almost beat him with the expectations he allowed us to have is crazy. In the pre-poch days, we would have classed 4 top 4 finishes and 2 significant title chases, 3 great CL runs and a trip to a few finals as a great success. When you add to the back drop of lack of support when he needed, in the way he needed it. You suddenly see that he did a great job – he will never be remembered as an all time great spurs manager. but George Graham won us our last cup…and he was a far worse maanger!!

I would post more but I sadly see too much bickering on this forum to be bothered! We are all meant to be spurs fans and all be pulling in the same direction. The fact you seem to think this forum is now filling with Jose fan boys is a bit of a ridiculous statement. Maybe some fans are happy we have a serial trophy winning manager at the helm and not a near miss one that failed on numerous occasions? You were happy then that Moura got treated the way he did by Poch for the champs league final? Every person I watched that with(and fans of other clubs) were in disbelief at that decision and it definitely helped with the dressing room malaise that it caused. I have nothing against Poch and I just said I wish him well..But obviously some people aren’t over him

Who said ‘backing is irrelevant’? Sorry, you’ve lost me again. You should slow down and read things properly. Are you and 1882 the same person?
