Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

The other tinkler is that Poch was making decisions for the long term, not risking players too early that hadn’t settled in to the country yet, not rushing players from injuries, not over playing youngsters.

He did all of that thinking he’d have the time.....it’s all a bit of a shame. If he wanted to save it, to get the short term results, he could have done things differently.

Yes I was, and not afraid to speak out.

if you really believe my criticisms warranted having my sanity questioned, being told I wasn’t a fan, being called every name under the sun, people referencing me just to run me down, then I really cannot help you.

nor can I make you understand that those so affronted by my posts, failed to teach or demonstrate any class to me in the way they conducted THEMSELVES in defending poch.

you are hurting and angry still I guess so I’ll leave it there...

But that’s not his nature
It’s why he may never win a big trophy as a manager
The best aren’t nice guys... their ruthless arseholes

You’re barking up the wrong tree mate I answered your posts but never offensively or rudely. You can go back through them if you want. If you find anything offensive pm me and I will apologise. I don’t have to agree with you though and I don’t like a lot of the things you wrote about a manager a lot of us held in high esteem. It was unnecessary. You got what you wanted so just leave it now rather than going round and round on the same loop.

I wasn’t looking for an apology, and I answered your posts not the other way round.

What I said was necessary because the clubs more important than any individual.

ive been far more respectful than some since Pochettino left.

you don’t have to like what I say, it’s all good.

yes I got my wish, and I feel positive about the future, that’s where my focus is.

I at no point WANTED him out at all. I just came to the conclusion it would be necessary. And I am desperately sad thats what it has come to.

Genuinely wanted to be proven very wrong on that one.

Apologies.
I was simply trying to praise your post and did so from the context I have been reading your comments for some time.

It was kind of fair.

I don’t personally feel I deserved some of the things I got thrown my way.

vociferous maybe, I try and write with passion more so when things really matter to me.

what I think some don’t understand is that a lot of my anger came from the fact I was a massive fan of his but felt let down by some of his choices...

choices I did point out would lead us to this point and I was roundly mocked for saying that.

I hope you can forgive and move on because I can, and I personally am prepared to let water trickle under the bridge.

No lasting damage on my side and I’d finish by saying that managers come and go, yet we are bound by spurs forever...

we can and we will move on from all this.

I feel the same way mate.
And of course we move on. Forgive you? Of course. Why wouldn't I mate? All I ever asked for was perspective, sadly, emotions obliterated that in the last 6 months since June, and I am a part of that too.
My "long-term damage" comments were about what I feel the club has done, not anything here.
Again, I sincerely hope I am wrong. But I just don't like him Nigey, he is a nasty piece of work and I wouldn't turn my back on him in an elevator.

The club? They're my club, not his, so of course I support them regardless.

Best...

very fair.

I appreciate our new boss is like marmite.

felt very emotional after what @DubaiSpur wrote about poch, and I’m not trying to hide that there’s some guilt and shame on my part, that’s all I can say.

I don’t think he will cause lasting damage, I certainly hope not, he’ll no doubt be more concerned about fixing the here and now, rather than thinking about tomorrow.

right now I think we need that.

Thanks steff and always best to you also.

Tbf I don’t think Poch is like marmite....I haven’t met a single Spurs fan who doesn’t love Poch and have fond memories of him. But there became a growing consensus that he had taken us as far as he could with his methods. In the end I think it was the right time for all parties to part ways, in fact in hindsight probably the right time was after the CL final - it probably would have been more understandable and easier to stomach. I’ve a feeling Levy would have started to have been concerned about Poch some time ago, those consistent negative sound bites many on here wanted to make excuses for were probably an indication that things weren’t well behind the scenes. But Levy would have persisted with him recognising what a great job he had done to date. Reading between the lines it seems more and more issues came to the surface and alas we are where we are. Some are happy that he has gone viewing this as the end of the road for him here, some wanted to give him more time but I have no doubt practically every Spurs fan will have memories to cherish of his era and will be eternally grateful. Just that for some the grieving process will be a lot longer than others. I’m confident we will move forward positively under Jose, and it’s important all fans get on board and we get that feel good factor back in this new era....

just to clarify I meant that Jose was marmite, an individual where it’s hard to find middle ground between love and hate.

Pochettino was and is despite what I said and felt about his shortcomings, a really top bloke.

I am grateful to poch, and yes your spot on, it’s important to move forward now.

All of this talk of cycles and refreshing has got me wondering. Of all the top teams in the top leagues, how many refresh the entire squad for a manager whose performances have dropped off, against those who just replace the manager.

My gut feel is that it's the manager who gets replaced.

It usually is the manager, less upheaval.
