Maggie May Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Come back to your spiritual home, Mauricio.
East Kent Saint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 But we have even less money than when he left (and he told the the players to get out while they can).
31cc Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Levy obviously found out he's coming here to be the new Director of Football
ooh it's a corner Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA So, somebody with a finger on the pulse of statistics, please tell me his trophy count ???? Good manager for us, good manager for Spurs, but not a great manager if you can't win SOMETHING. He needed to respect the League Cup or FA Cup and land one of those for Spurs - arguably could have done it with us, or at least got us further than he did. We would have him back in a heartbeat.....but that is as likely as me getting the job.
ooh it's a corner Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 What the dickens is Levy's game plan here? Ralph ?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Stupid, stupid decision by Spurs. He will not be coming here...much as many of us would love it...he’s not the type to go back and he’ll have much bigger offers.
CB Fry Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 He's going to appoint Ralph he's going to appoint Ralph he's going to appoint Ralph he's going to appoint Ralph he's going
ladysaint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Please please come back and work with RH as our DOF
sadoldgit Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Ralph looks as broken and miserable as Poch at the moment.
FairWeather Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Come back to your spiritual home, Mauricio. In a heartbeat!
Micky Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Stupid, stupid decision. But might open the floodgates for the usual managerial sackings that occur this time of year. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

alpine_saint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Levy proves once again what a c*ckwomble he really is
Lighthouse Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Spent f**k all compared to the other top 6 and even Everton. Despite this he achieves: - 4 consecutive CL qualifications (what the shareholders are really bothered about) - CL final - 1 domestic cup final - 3 domestic S/F Wow. Just wow, Levy is off his trolley.
East Kent Saint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 I think he wanted more players but the new stadium put paid to that .......
ooh it's a corner Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 I would argue pochettino is light years ahead of Redknapp and Martinez. Who both won trophies I agree. A trophy doesn't make a great manager, but I don't think a manager could be considered great without winning something?
Batman Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 I agree. A trophy doesn't make a great manager' date=' but I don't think a manager could be considered great without winning something?[/quote'] Fair comment He is a brilliant manager though!
Lighthouse Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 I agree. A trophy doesn't make a great manager' date=' but I don't think a manager could be considered great without winning something?[/quote'] Yes, he can. Stephen Gerrard never won the Premier League but you would put him amongst the league’s greatest players. Especially when you consider people like Eric Djemba Djemba and Jeremy Aliadieré do have a winners medal.

Especially when you consider people like Eric Djemba Djemba and Jeremy Aliadieré do have a winners medal. But you've swapped the manager greatness for a player greatness? Plenty of great footballers have won nothing. Name a great manager who has won nothing? (and don't be lazy and throw Pochettino back at me) :-)
Batman Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 I wonder how long before he is man united manager?

Name a great manager who has won nothing? (and don't be lazy and throw Pochettino back at me) :-) Why is that different though? Poch’s team is only as good as the resources he has available and I’d say he has got the absolute maximum out of that squad. I have no doubt he’d have won the league comfortably with those early 00s United and Arsenal squads, later 00s Chelsea or modern day City. I’m trying to think of other managers. Sir Bobby never won anything at the Toon and they built a statue of him, probably a reasonable shout.

Won nothing with Newcastle, but he had the trophy already in his cabinet.
ooh it's a corner Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Changing the subject from my debates about greatness...... Weren't we talking of a DoF appointment between the international fixtures, probably due to someone working their notice period with current employer? Former Saint, but not a player.....at least not a Saints player It couldn't be, could it?

danjosaint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Apparently theyve already lined up nagelsmann

Lighthouse Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Sir Bobby won the European Cup with Ipswich. He was a great manager. Won nothing with Newcastle, but he had the trophy already in his cabinet. I know that, I was referring specifically to his time at Newcastle. About five years, same as Poch. Didn’t win anything but got them playing some brilliant stuff and CL regulars. Anyway, all down to opinions. Personally I’d call him a great manager, trophy or not.
ooh it's a corner Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 He’s no Alex McLeish, is he pal? Nope. Don't get wrong, I really enjoyed the football under Poch. I was miffed when he inevitably left to join a bigger outfit. I have also enjoyed the brand of football that Spurs have played, with what little I have seen of them on European tv games / MOTD highlights. But the football world lauds him as a managerial general, and yet he has no trophies to his name. As you have pointed out, Alex McLeish has won trophies, including a League Cup win with Birmingham. Of course, this does not make him a better manager than Poch. My point was, and is, I don't think Poch can be considered great without winning something.

ooh it's a corner Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 His career ain't over yet. Hope not. Rumour has it, he has a DoF lined up...... (rumour started by me, with absolutely no merit whatsoever)
Convict Colony Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Apparently theyve already lined up nagelsmannI'd be surprised he's only been at Red Bull since July. More likely someone of Mourinho, Allegri, Ragnawick etc or maybe a curve ball and go for Ten Haag at Ajax.
austsaint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 No plan B. A rubbish myth...the plan B mantra. How deluded is Levy? There will be a decent queue for MP and his loyal assistants.
aintforever Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Bonkers. He will be at Man Utd in weeks.
OttawaSaint Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Mental decision. They'll regret this. Hasn't been able to spend in ages due to the ground move, got his team to the Champs League final. What a chump Levy is. Hopefully they'll appoint Eddie Howe and destabilize Bournemouth.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Utterly absurd decision by a club who have punched above their weight and have now got ideas above their station. Come back Mo Po, you'd be more than welcome! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
CB Fry Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 The Guardian going with Jose as the quick replacement. Which is interesting.
sadoldgit Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Given that he won’t have a fortune to spend on players I wonder if José would be interested. Not sure how pragmatic football would go down with Spurs fans either.
tajjuk Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 I'd presume with it being done during an international break that they might have someone lined up, otherwise why do it now and not after the recent poor results? Still think it's crazy, so they may end up having a poor transition season, but he's clearly got them punching above their weight for ages and I couldn't see an exodus of players just because of one poor season, beyond the ones already lined up to leave (Erikkson, Toby, and Rose). I am pretty sure West Ham and Everton have consistently out spent them the last 2-3 years but he has delivered top 4 consistently and good cup runs (which are always a bit of a lottery) Would love him back but can see him at another forward thinking club that are more project based, maybe like a Dortmund
Chez Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Levy would argue that the CL run papered over the cracks and they have been very average for almost a year now. They did spend in the summer, but the side has got worse, not better.
DT Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Quite funny listening to their fans whingeing. Deflection for a moment from our shambles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The Odd Guy Posted 19 November, 2019 Posted 19 November, 2019 Utter madness, mind you it's not unlike when Cortese sacked Adkins really. I can't see the next Spurs manager getting in the top 4 never mind a CL final. I think in the long run Levy will regret sacking Poch. I can see the same decline happening to Liverpool and Man City when Klopp and Pep go.
