He has to be leaving, no one in their right mind would think its a good idea or good prep to be on the 7th March and not have the manager signed down for the next season if that was eithers intent.

“The fleeting magic that Pochettino and his players conjured was the product of a particular time and a unique set of circumstances: a young and hungry team that had no body of work to defend, no reputation to protect, no expectations to meet, and who could thus write a new and thrilling page together.”

he has had the experience of going to a nut house Uber rich club with limitless spending potential and unrealistic expectations, so hopefully got that out of his system.
he has also had two (interrupted) years off to rest and reenergise himself, so should come back to us fresh and raring to go.
the squad is also younger now, ready to run for him again.
Let’s do this!

I wouldn't call a 5 year golden age a fleeting period. He was our longest serving manager since Burkinshaw, and our 4th longest serving post-war.

Frank would really worry me. The football that Brentford play is 'small club' football that I don't think would work at all well at Spurs. Maybe Frank knows that is the only way that he can keep a club with Brentford's budget in the PL and would use different tactics at Spurs but I don't think we can take the risk of finding out.
I would rather have De Zerbi or Schmidt than Frank. Would be happy with either of your other two suggestions though I would turn the job down if I was Pochettino after being so badly treated previously.
You’re right. I suppose the point is that the circumstances are not really comparable to those that existed in 2015. Then again Poch has evolved too. Just that nothing he’s done since 2019 has been particularly impressive. Anyway we probably need to get him back sometime just to get it out of our system.

Right or wrong thats an itch that is going to have to be scratched.
Everything seems to be aligned for it, i personally think its still too early, but its what I'm expecting.
Poch managing a team like this,
New keeper,
New cb
Romero
Porro
Destiny
Skipp
Bentancur
Kane
Kulu
Richarlison.
Is a mouthwatering prospect.
Still have son, sarr, dier, davies, royal, peh, bissouma, danjuma, spence and gil on the bench.
That's a pretty good place to be imv.

Would take that all day long, get in a Bastoni and Maddison type and its sexy AF TBH

I'd drop kane to the am and play richie up front with out kulu wide/off richie.
Kane in the middle linking up with Bentancur breaking the press, Richarlison in front of him and kulu out wide.

yeh I think there is fluidity to do that which would be nice
I just have this feeling that Kane would still see himself as the out and out striker and with a profile like his not sure you would rock the boat. That said, as games go on and you need options in the 60th minute, would be mouth watering

That's it. For me Ndicka and Kudus are the two missing pieces to make that perfect, but they are quite similar alternatives to your suggestions.
I think Poch may favour Spence over Porro, but we've 3 potential options for him to choose from on the right now.

I like that idea too. Kane as Eriksen, and Richarlison as young Kane

If he's got any sense he'd remember how Shearer and Sheringham extended their careers by changing their games in their late 20s - Shearer into a target man and Sheringham into a full-on #10.

Pochettino is the manager directly responsible for the circumstances having changed since 2015. We would be in serious trouble now had he not delivered those 4 CL qualifications in a row ahead of schedule when having virtually no money to spend. That period under him was a game changer for the club overall. He more than anyone deserves at least the chance to try to do something spectacular now that the club has an amount of money to spend reasonably commensurate with the size and ambition of the club. Maybe he can again seriously overachieve but this time with the added benefit of having a decent recruitment team at the club and some money to spend that overachievement would result in trophies as well as CL qualifications.
