Poch to PSG? Thank f-k for that. Now I won't have to listen to the Ole outs crying for him after every setback. He also might actually win something!
ThisIs this now where Ole goes on an horrendous run, gets sacked and both Poch and TT have been snapped up so we end up with Graham Potter?
The best options are still out there anyway. Never really favoured Poch. Hope he joins PSGIs this now where Ole goes on an horrendous run, gets sacked and both Poch and TT have been snapped up so we end up with Graham Potter?
Nah, Steve KeanIs this now where Ole goes on an horrendous run, gets sacked and both Poch and TT have been snapped up so we end up with Graham Potter?

You absolutely, most definitely (IMO) would have been better off with Poch though. I dont think that's a debatePoch to PSG? Thank f-k for that. Now I won't have to listen to the Ole outs crying for him after every setback. He also might actually win something!

Good point. Nagslemann it is!Poch to PSG? Thank f-k for that. Now I won't have to listen to the Ole outs crying for him after every setback. He also might actually win something!
If it was 'definite' and 'not even a debate' that we would be better then he would be here.You absolutely, most definitely (IMO) would have been better off with Poch though. I dont think that's a debate
Why couldn't Poch win anything with a better team? Surely we don't want such a bad manager?We have let another top manager pass us by. I hope we don't live to regret this decision. Ole surely has to get us some trophy this year.
The Poch to United by English journalists has been ridiculous clickbait nonsense in the last 12 months. The same journalists will now be hyping him up further if he wins a league title that Graham Potter would likely win for PSG.Poch to PSG? Thank f-k for that.

In 3 of Poch full seasons with Spurs they got 64,70 and 71 points. The type of points totals that Jose should reach with Spurs this season in his first full season at the club.Fun stat I heard on Totally Football Weekly - if you look at the expected point total Spurs are estimated to achieve from this point onwards, it's lower than Poch's last 4 full seasons in charge of the club.
We already appear to have one, why would we change him?FFS.
As usual, we’ll probably wait until everything is mathematically impossible and no one else is available before sacking Ole, and probably end up with another caretaker manager in charge. We’re just not proactive enough when good managers become available.
The bold teams are fair enough though, I mean he faced sides that just invested much more into their team than what he could. And the underlined bit is a quite a big thing to just segregate from the stats.In 3 of Poch full seasons with Spurs they got 64,70 and 71 points.

Poch domestic cup record with Spurs.
2014/15 - beaten by Chelsea in the league cup final, FA Cup 4th round exit to Leicester at home
2015/16 - 3rd round league cup exit at home to Arsenal, 5th round FA Cup exit to Palace at home
2016/17 - semi final exit to Chelsea in the Fa cup, 4th round league Cup exit to Liverpool
2017/18 - semi exit to Man United in the FA Cup, 4th round league Cup exit to West ham
2018/19 - FA Cup 4th round exit to Palace, league Cup semi final exit to Chelsea
2019 - 3rd round league Cup exit to Colchester United.
No domestic trophy as well documented and just 1 final appearance from 11 attempts. Outside of the 2019 CL final appearance his European (CL and EL) record was far from great either.
That's actually my concern.Is this now where Ole goes on an horrendous run, gets sacked and both Poch and TT have been snapped up so we end up with Graham Potter?
You know that, virtually every non-United fan and many United fans know that. But try telling that to some of the people on here. It shouldn't be a debate but they will argue it anyway.You absolutely, most definitely (IMO) would have been better off with Poch though. I dont think that's a debate
Ole is the caretaker manager mateWe already appear to have one, why would we change him?
Thank feck for thatL equipe confirm Pochettino will be PSG next acoach

And according to some on here Ole is a PE teacher who wouldn’t get a job anywhere else but yet here he is high in the PL, a game on hand to possibly go just 2 behind Liverpool and playing some of the best football we’ve seen since fergieThat's actually my concern.

As far as they're concerned, Poch didnt win the league with Spurs so he's useless while OGS is unbeaten in his 0 Premier League title runs so he's clearly the better choice.
The League cup is mainly there for clubs such as Tottenham to pick up a bit of silverware and Jose will be going all out all to land the league cup for them this April.The bold teams are fair enough though, I mean he faced sides that just invested much more into their team than what he could. And the underlined bit is a quite a big thing to just segregate from the stats.
I'm not saying Poch is faultless obviously - he should have at least got to an FA Cup final (I ignore any carabao cup performance generally, for any team, even ours. I think that cup is generally wank anyway). The failure to get to more finals or win a cup will be a blot on his career until he goes on to win titles.
Also I strongly doubt Jose will take Spurs to the point tally height that Poch could take them to (86 points).
Good for Poch. I assume he was waiting for a big club to fire a manager. And finally got his choiceTweet

You say in your opinion, and then say it’s not a debateYou absolutely, most definitely (IMO) would have been better off with Poch though. I dont think that's a debate
The league cup is there for TV $$ and nothing else. The prize money for winning the league cup makes it pointless. Guardiola mentioned it when he came that it wouldn't be a terrible thing if it was scrapped and most teams play shit teams (I don't blame them). It's used as a chance to rotate squads, and yeah I just think it's a pile of wank personally.The League cup is mainly there for clubs such as Tottenham to pick up a bit of silverware and Jose will be going all out all to land the league cup for them this April.
I doubt it also as the top 6 this season and years ahead will be stronger than the teams in the top 6 that finished below Spurs in 2016/17.
Needs more than that. Winning the league isn’t success at all. He needs to win his thay and the Champions League to show he has improved what he inherited.Now we’ll see how good he is. No excuses in any competitions now. With those owners and that squad he won’t get much time. Must hit the ground running, win everything domesticly and make a deep run in the CL. Anything else would be considered a failure.
Now he couldnt handle Spurs... right okBullet dodged.
If Poch couldn’t handle Spurs he definitely would have been overwhelmed s by the cauldron at United. He’s a good manager, but there was never any reason to believe he would bring trophies to Old Trafford. Perhaps the experience he’ll gain at the Parc de Princes may come in handy in 2-3 years, by which time we can expect his tenure with PSG to come to an abrupt end.
There's some shite that gets written on this site at times.Bullet dodged.

Was he in fact not sacked? If Poch instead resigned in protest (pretty sure he was sacked, but I’m open to being corrected) then that’s a different matter. Either way, he did not win any trophies for Spurs. There’s a big difference between getting your club close to the trophy cabinet and going inside it.Now he couldnt handle Spurs... right ok
I think Poch coming here will be a right mess, mainly because of our management who are unpredictable and ditch the manager any window.Bullet dodged.

Perhaps we can find a different expression to convey the fact, and it is a fact, that Spurs sacked Pochettino and that no club until today has expressed any serious in hiring him. PSG dominate a lesser league — the term often used here is farmer’s league — and they believe they’ve found their man. Good for PSG. But I hope no one here cries in their beer that we missed out on Pochettino, a manager who of undeniably lifted Spurs from a top six club to a top four club, but also undeniably was sacked by Spurs, a club which isn’t exactly at the level of Real or Barcelona.I think Poch coming here will be a right mess, mainly because of our management who are unpredictable and ditch the manager any window.
Also I don't think Poch was worth enough to fire Ole immediately, just in order to get him.
Having said all that, the bolded part is outright hilarious.
