I wonder who will finish the season highest, Arsenal or Tottenham. Perhaps we will hear from another Arsenal mug...….
I doubt it. Most Gooners suspect that, as ****e as we are, this season, they’ll still finish below us.
Isn't that what Arsenal did with Wenger though ? Loads of their fans didn't want to him to go, when it was obvious that they needed a refresh. Now they've done it, and whilst it isn't working for Emery, I can't see Arsenal being too sentimental about him. They will replace him either at xmas or in the summer. Pochettino has run his course at Spurs in my opinion. He did a good job getting your team challenging, but ultimately his project came up short. Now he looks like he's lost heart with it all and the decline is well and truly set in.
I don’t back Poch for that reason. I back him because I do not accept that he is the reason for our current malaise. Those who blame Poch are, in my view, dangerously naive. “Dangerous” because their naive criticism of Poch is liable to force one of football’s best managers out of our club, and push us back into the mire from which Poch saved us. I believe that the real reason for our current malaise is many-fold. It includes the falling out of form of practically all of our top players (Kane, Eriksen, Alli, Dire, Lloris, etc), and the failure of our board to act promptly at key times. I believe that Poch is as frustrated as the rest of us, but I believe he still has faith; and I believe he remains the best person to bring us through this slump.
I don't support Man Utd mate, so I don't really care if Poch goes there or not. For the record though, I think he'd do a good job at Utd, the board would back him to spend.
So it's Levy's fault then. Been telling you this for a couple of years now Kips. I knew you'd agree with me eventually.
Daniel Levy thinks he is more important than the manager. How many managers has he chewed through now ?
You know what I think of ENIC but the poor in game management is on Poch The patterns are their for all to see...same mistakes repeated time and time again. Abandoning the press etc etc None of that is to do with transfers
I posted this question on your board. But do you think Spurs should replace Pochettino before Arsenal replace Emery ? As it could come down to either one of those clubs poaching the best option and leaving the other one to scrape the barrel for the likes of Alan Pardew.
As I have said on the Spurs board, I am not going to play the blame game. It’s easy to be wise with the benefit of hindsight. I don’t think Levy set out to damage the club, and I’m sure that he believed that what he did at those times was the right thing to do. In hindsight, he was wrong. The thing to do now, is for everyone to stick together, fans included, to learn from collective mistakes, and to move forward, together.
I’ll bet you your Avatar and name that neither Arsenal or Spurs will appoint Alan Pardew or the like regardless of what the other club does.
Well of course they won't. What I'm saying is that should either Arsenal or Spurs sack their manager, then surely they would be looking at the same managerial targets ? If one of them appoints an Allegri or Enrique, then it weakens the pool of available managers left for the other club to appoint.
As I said in a post on our board, I think Poch is trying to appease the fans by dropping those players who want away, but the players he has at his disposal simply aren’t good enough (yet) to replace them. This is compounded by the fact that so many of our key players have seen a drastic fall in form. I don’t see how any other manager could have done better. Sure, there may have been a temporary improvement, as there was with Arsenal and United, but (just as it was with those two clubs) it would have been a mere papering over of the cracks, and we would have reverted to being ****e soon enough, with the inevitable sacking of the new fall guy manager. And so we would have returned to the turnstile merry go round of manager-in-manager-out disintegration of our club.
Yeah I know what you was trying to say plus Enrique is **** I tell you what.....i’ll bet you your Avatar and name that neither appoint Enrique
