It's crazy to judge Poch based on winning the Premier league, the strongest league in the world, with Tottenham Hotspurs, a team who has finished top 4 twice in the last 22 years with little to no budget before him getting appointed, and comparing it to winning Norwegian league, whatever the team Ole managed there. It simply throws logic out of contest. All competitons are of course on different levels. Otherwise big teams will be hiring managers from minnows leagues because they overachieved there all the time. Did anyone ever suggest Ole to become our manager at any time during the previous years? Was he in the managers wanted list of anyone when LVG or Mourinho were having their meltdown? Will we ever scout any Norwegian league winner manager with an underachieving team after him?
Yes, Poch should have won a domestic cup or a Europe League and it was totally possible as I criticized him previously for that but the best 3 seasons Spurs had even had points and position wise since start of Premier League were all under him. The CL final last season was their first ever in history. That's the max this Spurs side could have achieved in both big competitions. They weren't going to leap crop City, Pool and Chelsea to league titles with their budget.
So just to be clear do you both think if Pep has been managing this Spurs side he would have went on and won the Premier League?
I would like to also know what were the initial expectations of Poch when he was hired as Spurs manager 5 years ago? Was anyone actually putting an expectation for him to challenge for the league when he was hired? Because this looks too much of a hindsight for me.
