  1. It’s genuinely been consistently miserable ever since.

    The Europa win night will go down as one of the best nights ever. But there was no journey to go with it, like we had in the champions league. It felt like one explosion of euphoria amidst a torrent of shite.

    The vibes of peak poch were unmatched.

    I bet you if you find the posts from six years ago… they’d all be saying Poch out

  3. I understood that he was burnt out, probably needed a break, and that the league form in his last year sucked. But in retrospect he had more than enough credit in the bank to have been given the time and the trust to rebuild. Couldn’t have been any worse than what’s happened the last few years.

    As I read the top line slowly, my mine raced forward to think…”by Team USA” and was about to get very excited! Now I’m just sad.

  5. Can argue that every major football decision made since, and including his sacking, has been catastrophicly shit

    The first cases of Covid would be found shortly after this. Probably just a coincidence….

    It felt like he got sacked way too early for what he achieved with no support. Mourinho got a little support, Conte got a little more support, then Ange got a huge support- but Poch really didn’t get much enforcement he needed in 2018/2019 then he got sacked too early.

    People forget we were pretty terrible for months at the end of his time. I’d still have him back though…

    We treated all our good managers with utter disrespect, always looking for that next shiny upgrade. Poch should have been backed properly after that final loss. We were punching above our weight. Liverpool backed Klopp when he lost the previous year and we acted like numpteys. Serves us right. Ange, Redknapp, Conte, Mourinho, Jol, there’s a theme going on and it’s the Board and ownership. Same issues since.

  10. I checked out for the entire Mourinho era and most of Conte’s too. It was honestly a great time in my life

    I don’t see him coming back and being as good as it was. We’re not that lucky as a club.

  12. It happened twice, maybe three times. We just didn’t back them because we are a bargain bin transfer club.

  13. Poch will always be my favourite Spurs manager. Took over during the prime years of my youth and my love for football. It felt unreal to feel confident we could beat anyone and be able to gloat to Arsenal and Chelsea fans! Really took those days for granted

  14. Sacking Poch mid season and replacing him with a washed Mourinho was demonstrative of Levy’s clueless management of the football side of Tottenham. Then, servicing Mourinho with Gendon Fernandes and Joe Rodon…? Peak stupidity. I’m glad Levy has gone but it was years too late

  15. Them were the days. Every match at peak poch years felt like.we had a chance of not were favored.

  16. Idk man we were instantly much better with Jose and then with Conte. Basically all managers apart from frank had a great start to the club.

    imo we just have to try him again and either it works or we can finally move on from wondering what if like we’ve done for six years

    Pochettino has been dogshit everywhere he’s been since. He isn’t the answer. He got lucky that we had a generational academy class

  19. Our best manager it decades, took us to a level we have not been at in a very long time. Brought the club together as a family. And we dropped at the first sign of trouble, the first real downturn in form since he took over and sorted out our messy squad.

    Deserved the chance to oversee the next era of players at this club and we didn’t appreciate him. He loved us. Outside of Bilbao and the odd memorable result it’s been mostly dreadful for us ever since.

  20. Let him enjoy the WC then let’s grab him. Why the hell not at this point, it’s a dire watch every match, I’d rather just live off vibes than whatever this is.

  21. Sad to say but yeah we’re firmly settled back in as a mid table club. Poch years might be the best we see of Spurs for a very long time.

    I don’t care that he hasn’t had much success since leaving, we need to bring him back. He was the last Spurs manager to genuinely love the fans of the club rather than their own image and ego. He’d be throttling the squad in training and telling them they won’t see the inside of a stadium for the rest of their contracts unless they bucked their fucking ideas up and started pulling their weight
