    Matches in which we may have done better, who knows but at the moment, NOW, which matters I'm going to reserve any further judgement until after the break.

    i tell you what since we are talking replacements...if we ever did lose Poch...i would want us to go for Nuno from Wolves only because i think he is ideal out of what is available to us and i enjoy watching his style. He also goes toe to toe with the top teams and rarely has nose bleeds when facing them.

    im expecting everyone to clamour onto Eddie Howe though who for me is a tad overated.

    Conte is a **** because money talks? You said Conte is a **** doesn't mean he's a bad manager, so what does Conte is a **** mean then?

    Both are. Nuno is just doing a classical "Bring a small club up and do well for a season and a half" before he or someone else takes Wolves down in a couple of seasons. Seen it so often before.

    We wouldnt be able to live with Conte's financial demands. Truth is we cant even live with Poch's demands...hes just too far into the marriage to not be trying to make it work even though he knows what we need.

    And Benitez's financial demands? I think we could.

    Or worse. There's no proof, because it's impossible to prove if we'd have done better or worse without Kane but the fact of the matter is, Kane's goals to games ratio tells you that we have a higher chance of winning a game with a player of his quality in the side than out of it. The same applies to every team, Chelsea with Hazard, Utd with Pogba, Barca with Messi... These teams may still win games without such players but they still have a better chance of winning more games over the course of the season with them. Just look at Real Madrid post Ronaldo...

    It means Conte is a ****... You don't always have to be a nice guy to be a great manager, Jose has also proven that.

    Well we didn't do worse without him when he was injured just recently and last season did we? Let's just hope this break does us some good.

    If we're to lose Poch, I'd want Jardim.

    Nuno excels in big games but seemingly struggles to motivate his side in "bankers". When I met Ledley King, he said a similar thing about Ramos. He said Ramos was a master at planning for big teams (hence the great semi final and final wins over Arsenal and Chelsea) but never planned against the lesser sides as he expected to turn up and win.

    Jardim on the other hand has proven he can create an elite side on a small-ish budget, somewhat similar to Poch but with better results.

    I don't want Poch gone though, I just want him to improve certain ways and to be backed with a bit more dough for a few top players. Money talks in this game. I think with the exception of Leicester, no team has finished higher than Spurs that's spent less than us since Poch took over.

    We beat Man Utd, Fulham, West Ham and Fulham again in the league without Son. Does that mean we do just as well without Son than we do without Kane then? Maybe we should sell both.

    But your notion is that we don't need Kane because we win without him. I've just proven to you we also win without Son.

    So why is it you have one rule for one and one rule for another? Why sell Kane and not Son?
