Big pochettino fan, but considering he hadn't had lots to spend you have to question the record of some he bought. Some absolute shockers in there, or some decent players for huge fees
Pochettino sacked by Spurs

I don't know why people are so suprised. It was written all over the wall.
The man hasn't won anything. He only took a team a step further then previous managers Spurs had. I think I worte this before but should be said again. He will be forgotten by Spurs fans and will go in the same book as Sherwood, Jol, Villas Boas, Ramos and Redknapp. Good squad and players. In topp 6. Playing attacking football. Winning nothing.

If I was Son, Kane and Eriksen I’d make a stand and join United tomorrow...
but in all seriousness who takes charge in the mean time Sherwood?

Why are people surprised about this? Poch had done all he could with Spurs. Kept them in the top four season after season and also took them to the last Champs League final.
Call it sacking, departure by mutual consent, whatever... Some things just come to an end eventually. Unfortunately, it had to happen this way.
Guardiola had to leave Barca because of issues with the board and also inability to further motivate the Barca players. Sometimes you reach the end of the road and you need a fresh challenge. Happens in any and every professional career. This should not be a taint on Pochettino's ability as a manager as he is still a good manager who will excel in his next destination.
And this is the reason I consider Sir Alex the best manager ever. The ability to reinvent and alter approaches, keep motivating a bunch of serial winners, see of Abramovich's and Mansour's challenges and not crumble is to be used as a case study in 'how to remain a winner at the top' . Keeping the success train flying is easier than getting one.

Can you imagine a worse combo than Levy who doesn't want to spend a penny and Jose who wants hundreds of millions?
Biggest disappointing about this sacking is Spurs in Old Trafford in a few weeks will be harder to beat now as Spurs are sure to get a new manager bounce and get good run of results..
Manipulating statistics? I was pretty explicit that we've been in decent to good form for a month or so. That hardly constitutes being disingenuous does it?Won 5 of our last 6 games.
We beat European minnows Partizan Belgrade twice, Norwich (bottom of the league), Brighton at home and Chelsea in the League cup.
Talk about manipulating statistics.
Watch Spurs season crash and burn now
This thread will be flooded with comments after we drop points Vs Sheffield United at the weekend.
I think the only way to get a result is if we sack Ole. Then it would be a fairer battle of manager bounces.
Another thread jumped on by anti-Ole posters. 
Get a life.
Get a life.
Will be interesting to see who they go for now.
Feel a bit bad for him. Did he even get a chance to fully experience the cheese room?
I think they'll go for Eddie Howe
Yeh. Those manager were regularly having Spurs challenging for the League and Champions League.
Has @GlastonSpur left for good?
But Spurs just moved into their new stadium with state of the art training facilities and a proven manager. They are building with the likes of Eriksen Alderwereld Vertongen and Kane. Alli is on course to be the next big thing. They are as big as Juventus
Maybe Amadeus will be joining him?
We have been complaining that OLE isn't gone, so with spurs in a worse state not really surprising to be honest.
Tottenham youth coach on the radio just now seemed to drop a big hint. Said to 'watch this space over the next 24-48 hours'.
Surely expecting a quick appointment for his replacement?
Edit: Probably the wrong thread.

Honestly I think the blame for Spurs downfall lies with Levy. It was obvious they needed 2 new fullbacks in the summer to continue to finish top 4 plus a few top class midfielders. They sold a fullback and signed NO ONE at that position and their midfield reinforcements so far have yet to produce. (Jury is still out there.) When you combine that with players who don't want to be there like Eriksen and underperforming players like Dele, Vertogen, Alderweild, & other you have a formula for disaster.
All right - step 1 complete. Now let's pry Eriksen away. Should be cheaper for being out of form I hope. Do it.
So Poch dragging Spurs over these years, and funding for that shinny new stadium. Once he drops a little bit, he's sacked.
Wow.. Spurs.
Wow.. Spurs.
Hardly average, they were not that far away from where they are now when he joined.
Nary a trophy to be seen. The poster boy for "Nearly".
As if we have been any better than Spurs in the last few years . Let's be honest, the only thing United has to offer top players in our current situation is money.They could have at least won a cup but, no, absolutely nothing in the trophy cabinet.
Ole is a dreadful manager in fairnessAnother thread jumped on by anti-Ole posters.
Get a life.
Poch vs Ole is not an argument in the real world, only in the bizarro world of this place.
Good shout, would fit them a lot better than most manager mentioned but Howe get everything his own way at Bournemouth. He wouldn't get that at Spurs and would probably get sacked after a season or so.
Cant get much worse compared to last year!!
'Incredible achievements'
I don't understand what went wrong for Pochettino at Spurs.
What the feck...
Failed to turn around a ban run of form which is hard to justify when the team is one you've built over 5 years. Different story if the players aren't yours or you're new at the job.
I think Levy might have put a clause that he cant manage in England for a year or two?
I dont want him to go to United Lets hope Ole keeps getting some good results which will keep him in United seat for some more time

Spurs deserve all they get. He's been amazing until this season and they should have been more patient.
Wonder how many of the players will be unsettled
