Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

I agree.

Didn’t Harry get canned for just missing out on CL and reiterating the truths of our transfer policy directly though?

Harry was sacked for losing focus and letting the possible England job get in the way of committing his future to Spurs. As well as blowing top 4.

Spurs and Poch are made for each other at this moment in time. A team with big ambitions and a manager with big aspirations. Neither have achieved anything yet. Poch couldn’t do better than us and I suspect we couldn’t do better than Poch. I believe this status quo will remain the same for the next couple of years at least - unless it all falls apart next year, which I doubt.

A status quo is indeed my view.
I’m also completely calm with either party wanting to move on at some point, but I hope the arrangement is still in place for at least another campaign and we see how things go from there.
 
I was pleased to see Poch saying (yesterday) that compared to the game against West Brom we need to be more aggressive and show more ambition and be desperate to score a goal (((rather than pass and pass and wait and assume something good will happen from someone else, I assume)))

Couldn’t agree more

Good Post Pirate although I have a strong feeling that Poch could do better than us now. His stock is pretty high except amongst a small group of hard to please Spurs fans. He would have no problem securing a top job. BTW Manuel Pellegrini's first major trophy in Europe was the English PL with City. Didn't stop him from being given the Real job before City.

Big cubs on the continent tend to put less stock in what a manager has won and take more gambles with managers who have done good work at smaller clubs with less aspirstions - it's why countries like Italy and Spain produce top level coaches, if Eddie Howe, for example, was plying his trade there as a national of either country i imagine he'd likely have got a shot at one of the big boys there by now

Juventus appointing Conte as a quick example

I still wonder to be honest.

Poch's work is slow, it takes time. And thats the one commodity top clubs do not afford to managers.

Look at Utd with Moyes, 6 or 7 year deal wasnt it? Gone within a season. They planned on sticking with him, but couldnt.

What top clubs have shown they will give a season or two to a manager to bed in?

And thats exactly what it takes with Poch. To get the system bedded down, the fitness up, the attitude right, weed out the bad eggs...

I honestly think, at this time, he and the club are perfect for each other.

I dont think he will get the power he has here anywhere else. Nor the security.

Just as, it would be a miracle for us to get a manager that can get the level of performance Poch currently is...

If the unthinkable happened and Poch went, I’d take Howe in a heartbeat. He’s done an incredible job playing fantastic football.

Conte was a bit of a club legend at Juve too, I'm sure that was part of it
