That really is a **** ride mate. Sorry to hear it. Your mum will be much better off with the new hip though. I was Things can only get better, hopefully.
...anyone else get the feeling that we're starting to see confirmation of who were members of Team Poch and who were members of Team Don't Give A ****?
He's joking, but he's not really joking, is he? Worth a punt if he thought we didn't have anyone lined up and might need a caretaker, though. You can see why he's chanced it.
Was just going to upload this myself Sigh...it's sad it had to come to this...I wish Poch and his team all the best. He elevated us to the next level
The ****ing state of us. Look what we've reduced him to. Couldn't delay the announcement by one ****ing day and let him say goodbye properly in the morning, like the gentleman he is. **** this I'm out. See y'all in a few weeks time when I've cooled off a bit.
The 3 managers who have been any good under ENIC's reign have all been out the door in circumstances that aren't ideal. It's pretty ****ing harsh but I do see some sense in it. This squad is divided, as seen by those who have been putting in performances this season and publicly expressed their thanks to Mauruicio and staff, and those who haven't done either. Throwing a lot of raw emotion into that mix isn't going to help going forward and could drive deeper divisions into an already unhappy mix...Where did Jan get that shiner? Of course, I accept that Daniel Levy could have done it out of spite because Mauricio Pochettino wouldn't negotiate on leaving terms and no other motive.....but what's done is done and we need to win tomorrow...and Tuesday. It's all about the next game.
Your flounce-offs are becoming a common occurrence on here, you’re giving HIAG a good run for his money!
The thing is, it is rough that Poch didn’t get to say a proper goodbye and seeing that message hit you right in the feels but as brutal as it was, we had to ensure that the morning after the sacking, Jose got as much time with the players as possible as well as allowing the players to have clear heads. I’d say if Poch had said his goodbyes in the morning and then Jose took the training session in the afternoon, player’s heads may have been a bit all over the place with emotion. The way we done it, albeit so harsh, it was the best way to ensure players woke up Wednesday morning and got straight to work with Jose and his staff without any disturbances.
Jose looking keen and relaxed in that press conference. They were having a chat on the radio saying how most managers would have dragged negotiations till Thursday, turned up Friday and sat out the first game and watched from the stands to get a 'feel' of his new job Not Jose...trackie on by Wednesday afternoon. Slept at training ground on Wednesday night because he had work to do Thursday morning. I'm impressed with Jose's attention to the psychological aspect of practices.
Probably a mix of him and Levy I’d imagine, Levy will have wanted **** done to ensure he’s taking charge the following morning and Jose himself will have been itching to get started. It’s also fair to say we all know this deal wasn’t done in the space of roughly 12 hours too. Jose will have known for days (at least) he was gonna become Spurs manager, the turnover in staff somewhat proves that I’d say because no way do we get deals sorted for Sacramento, Santos, Lalin, Formoshino and Cerra all done once Jose is announced, they too will have been aware of the situation. I imagine it was just dotting I’s and crossing T’s and it’s why the staff slept over at Hotspur Way to then begin immediately in the morning. Everything he's said so far has been good to hear. Paid respect to Poch, spoken of his intent to merely add details/ tweaks rather than completely change things up, says that if the youth are good enough they’ll get chances and speaks about building us up as winners. Here’s hoping he delivers.
