KWP was the pick of the youth crop (by quite a long way as well). Poch sold Trippier to have Aurier and KWP as our right back options (and because he had to sell to fund the Sessegnon purchase). The problem was that KWP's performances didn't really show him out to be a top 4 level player.Poch was giving Skipp a lot of game time and had just promoted Tanganga and Parrott into the first team squad after their impressive pre-seasons in summer 2019. He also seemed a fan of Eyoma.
People have been saying for years that that particular U21 age group that was maturing at that point wasn't very special, and that the better players were in the (then too young) U18/Scarlett group. If the best Poch had to pick from was really Shilow Tracey, Kazaiah Sterling and George Marsh, maybe that's why he wasn't promoting them?
Poch wanted Foyth at RB and he got injured so never played there for usKWP was the pick of the youth crop (by quite a long way as well).

Edwards and Onomah got loans (Onomah actually got a few games for us before a loan). Neither of them particularly impressed on loan. Bringing through youngsters is hard.... incredibly hard when you're in the CL and competing at the business end of the PL.Chris Miller had a perspective that I probably go along with here.
He kept young players in-house to develop them but not actually play them.
In some cases, agents and parents of players non-figuratively had to beg the club to let them out on loan in order to get their players exposure. Or they waited for their contracts to expire and then left or forced moves: Milos Veljkovic, Marcus Edwards, Josh Onomah, Keanan Bennetts, Reo Griffiths. This had a big knock-on effect as parents and agents of younger players clock on. In summer 2018 we lost our best U15 (Omari Forson – Man Utd), and best first-year academy prospect (Noni Madueke – He made his full debut at 17 for PSV). Other young players will be choosing clubs other than Spurs to go to; it could take us a decade to change the perception of the club.
Because it cost less money and that is more important to the owners of our club than trophies.
A clear out is definitely needed..... Dier, Winks, Lamela and Sissoko as the bare minimum start (with another 5 or 6 on top of that desirable) . This does need the chairman to play his part however.Do not disagree, whoever comes in has to get rid of those who have been poor under Poch and two other managers since.
The (terrible) timing of it indicates that the pay off would've been a lot larger if we'd won the League Cup.How did it actually cost less money though? For example, I'm sure we've been lower in the table than at the point he was actually fired...
You could well be right.... It was a very strange thing to do though considering Mason could've come in the day after the LC final.Timed it with the super league announcement to lessen the media focus on the situation.

- Another factor is that Pochettino has struggled with being away from his family during the pandemic. He has been living in a hotel in Paris with his assistants, Jesús Pérez and Toni Jiménez, and his son, Sebastiano, who works as PSG’s fitness trainer. He is understood to be missing his wife and his other son, Maurizio, who are in London.
