No offense but what does this mean? The clubs you mention are in a better financial situation to compete in the transfer market to a bigger or smaller degree. The history that matter is the experience that remain at the club, not what others that have no ties to the club anymore did in the past.
Actually it's 3 top three finishes in recent seasons and might well be a 4th this time around.
As you mentioned the clubs are in better financial situation, more likely to compete and attract the top players and pay top wages. Historically they are also well known and have won titles on much regular basis compared to Spurs - and are more likely to do so.
Even if it is 5 top three finishes that guarantees you nothing in terms of mounting a title challenge. You are over complicating it by trying to analyze every word.
You present it as an unbridgeable gap between Spurs and the other 5 teams in the current top 6. It only sounds as if you want to put spurs in their place and ignore any reasons Spurs fans have to be positive. Tottenham is not in a bad situation right now, both on and off the pitch, and Spurs is a big team, I think 11th richest club in Europe financially. There are plenty of reasons Pochettino may want to stay and enjoy his untouchable status with full control of footballing decisions with increased financial freedom which will come.
It's far from unbridgeable gap mate. To me you have one of the best teams in the league and play coherent football. Even if Poch leaves that doesn't mean that you will turn into relegation candidates. There are possible candidates that would make the transition (if he does leave) seamless.
Just saw something saying he wants the United job
We certainly dont have the same pull factor anymore. But to say because of the stadium and because Spurs is "on the up" he wont find it interesting to manage United is a bit premature imo. I believe he could be very interested in the job like most managers would. United is still a huge name, even though it has not been shining much in the past years
I think the board and Levy would want those trophies but top 4 is way more important. Why was LVG sacked literally minutes after winning the FA Cup?
Careful. We might not have either come May
Glaston had a son?
At the moment there are roof leaks in the incomplete "best stadium in the world".
Likely not as soon as United, who are nailed on to be playing EL football next season.
Atleast we will beat them unlike some teams who got eliminated against the likes of Gent(?) at their home.
Football doesn't work like that though. It wouldn't take much to have Utd return to the elite since that's where we are supposed to be in most peoples eyes.
Not a bad team. They do have the same success in Europe as Spurs generally and aren't that easily brushed aside in KO rounds. Is there any decent team that hasn't put 5 past you in KO rounds lately?
It could of course but there are no guarantees of any sort. You had arguably the best manager still working in the game spending £100s of millions and still not be back at the top. I get your happy and optimistic that Jose is gone but there are no gaurantees that whoever the next manager is that things will improve overnight.
Of course he would consider it, United is a perfect club for any project manager right now. I just feel that many united fans are very dismissive of any reasons he might want to stay at Spurs.
You have to ask yourself, how much further can Poch take this current Spurs side given the resources he has to work with?
I don’t know how exactly one here said he wouldn’t consider it? I certainly haven’t, considering it as an option doesn’t mean he will accept it.
No, I think his Grandad just came into his room and found Redcafe open though...
Waits for the *hes only saying what the fans want to hear* argument.
If you appoint a director of football it will be very unlikely Poch is your first choice.
Any source of that? Never heard it so far that he was their top choice or they have approached him. Lopetegui was announced well before the WC started and since he was sacked Conte has always been their top choice.
I believe Spurs can win the league, even this season I still view us as challengers. It's a long shot, but far from impossible. It's hard for any club to challenge the money doped City at the moment, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. As a stable top 4 club, with the correct manager and mindset we could win the title one of the next few seasons if things go our way. I fully understand where you're coming from though, and I'm not really disagreeing with you, but yes I think Spurs can improve. Having a home ground will help the team, there are clear parts of the team we can improve upon, and even Pochettino is improving as a manager imo. The worry is keeping Eriksen.
Totally agree but Levy and Poch have an incredibly good working relationship, I doubt that if Poch really wanted to go he would make him stay it would ruin the dynamic completely. Having said that I honestly believe Poch will honour a contract he only signed last summer, again just my opinion.
Balague, Daily Mail and The Sun aren't really the best sources to be fair. They ride the wave and can recycle a lot of bollocks in short time. It's an educated guess who was Madrid's prime candidate as you also mentioned Allegri.
Balague is the best source you will get on Poch, and there aren’t many.
