Another Daily Briefing for you and if Pochettino is doing a midnight flit from Paris St Germain, then I look forward to the French press starting to link names to the Qatar-owned club – unless of course, the Ligue 1 giants are planning upon placing an ad in Exchange ou alors Mart.
Yesterday one of Pochettino’s good friends pronounced this supposed deal as a dead duck of an idea. Yet so many people have a mate on WhatsApp that knows better. Funny old game.
Dimitar Berbatov also thinks Poch’s return to N17 could be a potential disaster.
The long and short of it is it matters not a jot which manager/head coach comes in right now. I think Poch has the ability to be a winner given the correct tools. But neither him, Conté or anyone else could make winners out of this lot. If Pep was hired tomorrow his credentials would take a step nosedive by the end of next season.
The house is falling down, and the head chief bucko, the one that counts, will seek to shore it up with Polyfilla and silicone while the rot continues behind the wallpaper.
I’ve said it before. I’m happy to listen to any plausible explanation as to why anyone would think Poch would come back to Spurs. I’m happy to listen to any explanation for that matter
It’s fair to say that Poch was the most successful Spurs manager of the Premier League era. By quite some way..
If discussions are actually happening, if I were Poch I would simply refuse to entertain the idea unless certain criteria were met and made part of any contract terms. Things would HAVE to be different from the first time round, otherwise Poch would be completely wasting his time…
The most overrated English player in recent history, probably since Theo Walcott…
Are you suggesting the game was fixed in the same way you believed that playoff was too? You must live in parallel universe
Or Jesus if the guy can’t score in that team he won’t score anywhere else
Lol. It makes you start to wonder if Levy is a sadist and does it solely to torment us.
Welcome to the Passageways of Eternal Torment.
That’s our problem. It doesn’t matter who comes in, we have the meddling little bald bloke to mess things up
Definitely. That’s why I think Poch is a real possibility.There aren’t many options.
Neither panic nor excitement are the feelings I have. More a feeling of indifference or borderline pessimism. Welcome to Enic FC’s brave new world.
Have to say any other team getting new manager preseason would be well excited we on the other hand are panicking waiting to see who is our new one is . Things have went a little pear shaped I’d say
The Qatari’s like to sweep the board in France. Throwing up their hands and releasing Poch (who knew very well how tough the job would be) is not in their play book.
He won a domestic cup and has another season upon which to build.
I agree unless he wins the CL next year he won’t get a contract extension. Failure to win it has caused the demise of Emery, Ancelotti and Tuchel before him all of whom had varying levels of success domestically. Until they win it the job is a revolving door.
Their Qatari owners, in perhaps in common with City’s owners see this tournament as part of a strategy to promote their countries influence to the wider world through football.
A point that never comes!
You are consistent in your narrative. Long term injuries to Kane at crucial stages of the season most years with no credible back-up as JM himself discovered with Vinicius was similar to Neymar in the Man City CL game on the bench through injury and Mbappe played with injury.
De B injury in the CL final shows what happens without your elite players.
Did Pep have a backup plan B to deal with this? Is Pep a loser? Tuchel didn’t win the CL with the 1st and 3rd most valuable players … so I guess he is also second rate according to your criteria. Tuchel owes a great deal to Rudiger and you know why JM tried to bring him to Spurs.
They’ve always been slow. Don’t rate Hitchen but can imagine the Levy terms and conditions he operates under.
At what point does Levy ever say mea culpa and resign from football matters?
So if he is on borrowed time with a short term contract there should be absolutely no issue with a mutual release? After all we have a good relationship with PSG.
I think it is a combination of the right quality to give an impetus to the squad. Remember we were top of the table under JM mid season but he was not backed with the necessary quality.
No De Bruyne?
Another JM scenario. No thanks.
Probably trying to get Real to promise transfer support by playing off Spurs interest.
Who is the right choice to take over I fear for every manager under levy
Deary me. Even if you’re right it doesn’t make it the right choice for either party and it doesn’t excuse you being an idiot.
Why would he leave PSG? Please elaborate…
The problem i think lies in Hitchen. Ever since Paul Mitchell left, 8 years now our transfers have been poor, too slow, we have steadily gone backwards since Walker and Dembele were sold.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride is Botchy… Better team than Leicester and came runner up. League cup runner up. CL final runner up… He goes to PSG with the 1st and 3rd most valuable players in the world Mbappe and Neymar and he loses the league to Lille, runner up……. Second place is second rate…… Great coach Botchy, credit where its due, but do you see the pattern here… Runner up.
No chance of that now. He has to win the CL next year if he hopes for extension.. I spat my tea out laughing the other day after your claims he’s now a winner after the coppa italia (their league cup that qualifies them for the ropey, wooden spoon pot in your words)…. Tuchel was there 2 years with those players, he won the league twice, in his second season he won a domestic QUADRUPLE, only losing the CL final.. Yet they still sacked him… High expectations with Mbappe Neymar and co.. Tuchel is a winner.
Even if you are right, what a dick.
Haha he really knows nothing. Poch deal is done.
Ur backwards
Still win most things in England n rip us apart n most prem league week in week out
good point.
That makes more sense.
Conte won’t go to spurs he wants to win now . I say he will end up at Madrid
how many transfer window will it take to renew the team, it could be by the end of next season our team resemble a collection of worn and tatty garments hanging from a washing line stretch across the lawn at our brand new palace
Got to agree. I think Conte is the right choice. He is obsessed by winning. Not sure how that will sit with our own little Napoleon. I’d love to see Conte chase Levy around Hotspur Way.
Yup
Shocking player
I miss my ex sometimes but then realise she was a c-nt..never go back .get Conte
As I said above… They just looked blunt. Like no clue how they could get a shot.
Yes. It’s a mystery how he’s even in the England team.
2 shots off target…
Yet paid more than Kane and won more…travesty!
Shots on target is cobblers. Aim right down the middle and you increase shots on target, but keeper gobbles it up with no hassle, aim for the corners and an inch too far is off target. Not a stat I ever valued.
After a slow start when it mattered Havetz proved his worth combined with defensive resolve!!
Sterling IS crap.
Poch stock is good at Psg as Neymar has signed a new deal and Mbappe might do a 2 year extension.
That final has really shown how much city need Kane. Aguero should have started, but honestly, they looked blunt, as though they really didn’t have a clue how to even get a sight of goal. Kanes value just gone up, and I think city will pay it.
Pep got his selection wrong sterling was crap
1 shot on target. Man City the killers…..yeah.
Have to admit they were fantastic David.
Kanes price has gone up after that final,just hope levy doesn’t take Sterling as a make weight.
Sack Lampard. Bring in Tuchel.That’s how to do it. Well done superb Chelsea!
Problem is there are players still at the club who Poch said would be gone after the CL final two years ago. Rose has just gone after what 4 years.
Levy won’t change. I hope Poch is playing Levy.
other than Poch what other Manager at Spurs had managed it then
Glad they ain’t cos I backed Chelsea. Except 2-1 side bet.
I knew you’d manage to crowbar the Portuguese Pulis’ name in somehow.
The problem actually lies in 3 missed transfer windows several years ago.
Had that been different, we’d have never needed to sack Poch.
The only thing that puts this whole saga to bed is PSG handing Poch a contract extension. I wouldn’t rule it out either…
PSG don’t want shot of Pochettino. There are some weirdos that like to continually perpetuate the myth that Poch is a second rate manager but the reality is different.
Certainly his stock is higher than it has been for some time. PSG are slightly transitional at the moment and he’s done some good work and won a pot, in under 6 months. Jose’s failure to turn Spurs around has also made the decline Poch’s last year or so at Spurs look like it wasn’t all down to him. Because it wasn’t…
Make some names then…
Personally I feel it’s about how backed Pochettino or any other manager would or wouldn’t be. Those supposedly bored of Poch failed to be more engaged by Jose either.
Whoever it is in that squad that can’t play football properly because they’re bored with the sane voices must be moved on. Which leads me back to the issue about backing.
You back the management, Pochettino or otherwise and things will be ok. The ball is in Levy’s court, simple as that…
Good luck in your future online adventures
No need, you seem to know everything about it.
CL final observations:
Big time.
Wouldn’t be surprised if City get 2 goals in 2nd half.
If Spurs bring in a new manager levy is going to waffle about what a great squad we have .poch already knows this squad is done if he were to come back it’s on his terms not levy’s
Stockholm Syndrome.
This is nonsesne.
Perhaps you need to email PSG mate…
Maurice back to ENIC fc would be the most pointless return since Bale. Itd be like that poor girl who was in that basement for her whole life turning round and going back after they found her.
Zinchenko came in for Cancelo for that precise reason. Just look at him?! And the keeper??!
Utter joke. Fixed entertainment inc.
That interview was given before the the supposed contact with Spurs, wasn’t it?
It did seem a bit desperate PSG posting that, just after the story broke, as proof he wasn’t interested.
Ooooo won big on Havertz. Number 29 on the 29th….City just opened up for him haha! Farcical.
I understand we didn’t win trophies but believe me you don’t get top four for fours years straight and C/L final with no plan B
also consider the squad he had
Correct
Did you not click on the PSG link from this week?
Spurs had some of their best years with poch it was levy who ruined it he never backed him when needed fans seem to have forgot that
It would have been more credible to have Pochettino coming out saying how happy he is at PSG, and that he’s not interested in going back to Tottenham.
I’m not sure what to believe to be honest.
Nor did Jose
Poch is not what Spurs need we need someone who has a plan b if things go wrong Poch doesn’t have that
Realistically, he’s on borrowed time at PSG with a short contract.
Or alternatively, one could ask why this went out this week… https://en.psg.fr/teams/first-team/content/mauricio-pochettino-well-do-big-things-in-the-future
Pochettino could easily shut this down though.
If there weren’t anything in it, why hasn’t he?
