We don't have the setup for ETH to succeed. City do. If we don't qualify for next season's CL, why would ETH come?

Poch fits the bill. Young, done a good job everywhere he’s been, attractive football, bringing through young players, proven in England.
The only major issue is the lack of honours. If we were to get him in the Summer he’d at least have won the French league. I know this does nothing to enhance his actual credentials but the psychology of it seems to matter, and as great as his Spurs team were they were very much nearly-men.

He improved, that's a positive. 86 points in his 3rd season and only a 30 game winning season from Conte's Chelsea denied him a title. Who knows what he could have done with a few more signings but Spurs new stadium scuppered that.
I feel like this would be more of a possibility IF Ten Hag could have taken Overmars and probably VDS with him as well
Those first nine words sum it up perfectly and cheers for making it clear to the confessed Ten Hag fanboys like me
You are effectively judging two different teams. Mourinho didn't get the "over-achieving" version, he got the version without Trippier, Wanyama, Dembélé, Eriksen, prime Alderweireld, prime Lloris and prime Vertonghen. As someone suggested earlier, the paradox of Pochettino's tenure at Tottenham is that he didn't leave much behind mainly because their transfer dealings have been underwhelming which didn't allow continuity at a high level.
Couldn't agree more.
Not many teams go toe to toe with Liverpool and live to tell the tale, even peps City are normally quite reserved against them especially early on. Many teams have been swatted aside inside 20 minutes (including us and city) taking on Klopps Liverpool in a fool Hardy manner.
A good manager knows how and when to employ more pragmatic tactics from time to time. You can't always be gung ho all the time you have to willing to sit in a low block in certain periods when your playing certain sides. Otherwise you get turned over.
No one said that did they?
I agree.
No idea where you got that from. It will take 18 months, a top class coach and a good few personnel changes before we start to resemble a good pressing side. And we can expect to lose a fair few games in the meantime and probably miss top four in the process this season and maybe (hopefuly not) next.
My point was that it would take infinity years under Ole because he possesses the coaching skills of a physical education educator at a secondary school. So the idea that he tried the press and got no joy is pretty funny. Perhaps you're not aware what the forum computer system does when you write that description down in its more familiar form? It automatically substitutes the words " PE Teacher "

This will all be done by Friday.
What are we waiting for.
Zidane will win the UCL with Paris if this happens and we will finish 5th and lose in the semi of the Europa League.
I'd never heard of him before the Liverpool game. But I knew Ajax were a mini version of what every fan wants their club to be. But that's clearly down to the the whole club structure and culture which he can't really bring with him.
Can we have this guy
I am unsure about Tuanzebe too, but it was a weird loan.
You send a young electric winger to an attacking side in a lower league where he can express himself. This will not be good for his confidence, tracking back all season with barely any offensive output.
All silly isnt it, it is laughable and baseless considering the Ten Hag threads that were already there and how often he's mentioned on this forum.
Consistent with the shaming of those that want change for this team, which has been going on for much longer than today
Exactly, it will take 18 months. Its not going to be instant team press.
Lets see how a new man goes, Poch or Ten Hag both have pedigree,.
Anyway, it shows how much football knowledge you have when you describe a manager as a PE teacher, so this will be my last conversation with you.
I would rather discuss with someone who is respectful and knows football.
Ole has left mate.
I tried to see what is going on in the PSG forum. My French is awful or rather nearly non-existent but I think they would not be against taking the 10 Mio and see Poch stay in Manchester.
Music to my ears. Ideally I'd love Zizou but it was clear he was never interested in joining our circus.
What’s the forum?
The frustrating thing is all of this could have been wrapped up during the international break, and we'd have Poch leading us out tonight.
But instead our board decided Watford....feckin Watford was going to be the ultimate test of Ole's capabilities.
The bigger question is do we have the setup for Poch to succeed either? Sure he will do better than Ole but to win stuff? Despite the Glazers?
I think maybe so, but it will take time to move on the players who won't fit a high press. DdG and Ronaldo in particular.
The PSG fans on Reddit don't seem keen on him, and that's putting it lightly.
"Brucey's at the wheel"...

Jason Burt is well connected to PSG
Imagine a Manchester United vs PSG CL showdown.
Nice slice of pessimism you have there
I thought the reason we didn't want Conte was his crap style of football, now we are about to appoint another pragmatic bore only we are going to pay £10M to do it and unlike Conte he's not even won anything of note.
Poch, they seem really interested in Zidane, at least the ones I've come across.
It's quite obvious the team were badly coached under him and he had no idea how to implement a high press, as the attempts to do so were beyond laughable. If that offends you then so does the truth.
Legitimate or sarcasm?
Legit, he has a connection there. He gets exclusive interviews and news from them.
Cool
Would be amazing and hilarious
The PSG fans on reddit really hate Poch
