Why? What has he actually won? His only real achievement was taking Spurs to the CL Final, w

When Claudio Ranieri took Leicester to the PL title, a far greater achievement, I don't recall a sudden desire for him to become our manager.
I think you answered yourself? The Leicester title was a fluke in Renieri entire career let's be honest. That was his only league title to ever win, even though he managed several big teams before it. After Leicester he has completed disappeared and is taking mid-table and bottom jobs now. Poch on the other hand will be wanted by big clubs, us, Madrid, Bayern.

He has a problem with winning trophies yeah but still only 47, enough time to improve this and the rest of his managerial aspects are for sure better than our current manager. Is this even a contest?

Ive just never rated the guy & I have faith Ole will emerge as a very good manager once hes got the players he wants and not the bunch he inherited, or most of them.

I prefer Ole to him. Hopefully we stick with Ole for a while and judge him again.

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
Urghh when did you become such a terrible agenda driven poster. Sad.
I think you mean that my opinion is different from yours...

Everyone's 'agenda' on here is the same - talk about footy and share their opinions.

Try not to become emotionally wrapped up in it would be my advice to you.

Tim Sherwood?
Exactly, they've already been there.

That said, the Norwegian League is a route they haven't yet taken... so I imagine they're scouring it for managerial talent, soon to announce their new boss.

Don't even bother trying to reason, I've pointed this out in other threads so many times. There's genuinely people on here saying he's worse than Ole
From matches against Brighton it would seem to be. The Poch press did not seem all that sophisticated and Brighton played around it without a great deal of trouble. Ole did not waste energy in pressing Brighton and contained Brighton (apart from 2 corner aberrations) in the style Mounrinho two seasons ago. Poch seemed to have stagnated.

Didn’t see that coming, Poch sacked before Ole... maybe it’s finally time to sign Poch?

Get Ole out the feck and hire Poch as soon as possible.

Spurs spent over 100m this summer with an already very strong squad.
Yea I know that, but too little too late. How much have they spent over the last 5 years during Poc's reign? Also, have to factor in that some of the top players are soon going to be out of contract. They're not going to be going 100% and risking a big payday at the end of the season.

I've made this point here before, but I think this Spurs squad really suits Mourinho. Of course, tricky to come into it mid-season, but they've got the profile of a Mourinho side. Interesting development..

Shocking. Disgraceful really. He was fantastic for Spurs, he made them get into the elite bracket all on his own.

With Poch available I'd be delighted if he could take over the reigns with us. Love Ole, but 16 points from 12 games is an abysmal start to the season.

In a lot of ways he makes sense too. He built a young team at Spurs with a solid English core of players that played excellent football. He's did what Ole talks about doing.

Wishing him signing for us is like wishing Ole to fail.

You nasty bunch. Have some dignity please.

I think Jose Mourinho will be a success at Spurs. He has never been good at signings and Levy I think is really good at it. He would probably just tell Levy what positions he needs and Levy will get who he can. Mourinho is still a great coach who can toughen them I think.

1. Spurs have no path into next year’s Champions League (unless they win it this year, which is almost impossible).

2. Spurs have now sacked the manager who had them playing great and took them into the UCL finals last year.

3. Does 1 & 2 above mean Spurs are getting ready to sell Harry Kane this summer?

Oh dear god are you for real ? you slate Ole for only having 16 points from 12, with an unsettled team that we all agree needs at least 4/5 players in and praise a guy who has build a team over the paast few yrs and has gotten 14 from 12, lost 13 times last season and probably the only manager in football history to ever drop a player for a final that scored a hatrick in the semi finals.

Ole inherited a mess, too many players over 30 & past their best, bad attitudes, not enough depth in the squad & a super star who only seemed to want to play when he felt like it. Once Ole has built the team he wants with his own players and his own standards then we'll know whether to stick with him or not, he deserves that at least.

Spurs were in free fall. The Champions league run papered over the cracks.

If Kanes up for grabs we should break the bank to get him & if necessary to land him sell Pogba.

I would also like for us to make Poch our manager. But...

Firstly, we don’t really know if he is available, as his severance package may include a clause forbidding him to work in England for a year ir two.

Secondly, if Ole wasn’t dumped about 4 weeks ago when we were getting terrible results, he surely won’t be dumped now. Our club is notoriously slow to pull the trigger.

Surprised they sacked him this early. I would have assumed he would see out most of the season based on his past history at least. I can't see us sacking Ole right now, and getting him in, though I'm sure a decent amount of our fan base would want that.

Hopefully he decided to take the rest of the season off, and then if things don't improve under ole for the rest of the season he is an actual option for next season.

I'm sure they'll do well with the new manager bounce. However, Jose is used to working with clubs that have deep pockets and when he doesn't get what he wants, you know the rest. Just a matter of time and he'll be hunting for another job again. Would not be surprised to see Spurs climb back up the table and finish 4th-6th.

Weird time for the decision. They should have done it last week before this game week started if they are going to sack him during international football.

I feel for him. He stayed with Spurs even though he publicly showed his frustration several times over the lack of funds he’s being given for signings...I feel like many times the general consensus was that Tottenham are lucky to have him and now they actually sack him.

Interesting to see where he ends up: us, Madrid or somewhere else?

Whoah, I didn't see this coming to be honest. Mourinho replacing Pochettino.

To be fair, Pochettino has created brilliant foundations at Spurs now. So anyone joining them is extremely well positioned. There's a reason they've been finishing between 2nd and 4th for all these years and reached a CL final. So the ground work has been laid. This season was supposed to be the year they take that extra step forward to become challengers but something clearly went very very wrong - it seems also behind the scenes with player unrest.

So I think Mourinho has made a very smart managerial move. He's going to a ready made team that while is pretty down right now, was very recently thought of to be on the cusp of something special not so long back. He's got A LOT to work with IMO. Think the team suits him as well. Full of a lot of physicality and energy, and functional players upfront and all around the pitch.

ManUtd fans wanted Jose to be sacked and replace him with Poch. Now Spurs fans want Poch sacked and replace him with Jose.

We should have swapped managers back in last december.

All the Poch fans will be screaming for us to sign him and he'll go to a big team next season then be fired before the season is done.

If only Poch had been sacked this time last year. We have been unlucky with the Klopp and Pep situations. This is going to be the third time. As Poch will likely be picked up by Bayern or Real Madrid.

If this was last year I'd be screaming about us getting him in right now but with the recent events over at Spurs I feel it might be a case of repeating the same mistake we did with hiring Jose. On the other hand I feel like maybe his cycle at Tottenham had simply just come to an end. Perhaps if things continue to go to shite with Ole and he is available at the end of the season we should maybe consider Poch an option but as of right now I'm not sure sacking Ole for Poch would be the wisest decision.
