Honestly I couldn’t disagree more.Van Gaal was still good enough to win the double and make the CL final in the previous season. Did he suddenly become well past it between his two seasons at Bayern?
United has an entirely different dynamic than Spurs. If they experience a setback they can always spend loads in the summer and come back stronger. Like Liverpool, who bought Alisson, Keita and Fabinho after their lost final. It's "easy" to convince people to give it their best shot again, when you sign a bunch of top players to improve on the team's weaknesses. For Spurs it was different, they probably knew that they wouldn't get a shot at a big trophy anytime soon. And I find it a bit bizarre anyway to reject a coach, because he might not deal well with losing a CL final, when the club hasn't been anywhere close to one in about a decade now.
CL final was just an example. Spurs weren’t expected to reach one either.
LVG’s last few years as a manager is not a good example for me as he is actually a manager who failed at United (not because of his mentality, but rather because he was past it and our board isn’t very good).
With Poch there are already many question marks and then there’s the issue with his last season at Spurs.
At United he might get better resources, but he will also get much more pressure and might actually get a worse board to work with than he had at Spurs.
If he is not strong enough and has the right mentality to deal with setbacks he will be out of United much sooner than our previous managers.
