Not defending anything pointing out a fact, you say Tottenham imploded that season yet finished above us, the same Tottenham team knocked us out of the champions league last season, the difference is we have a board that backs the manager and brings in the players he needs to win those trophies,.levy will sell the rolls Royce players and replace them with a fucking skodaPep has won umpteen trophies since then and Pochetino none, it's not rocket science mate, he may be the darling of the press but he is not successful, it's that simple, you can't defend the indefensible im afraid....

And we could have won it but imploded also, does that make pep shit?
To be fair, Pep wasn’t even our manager the year Leicester won the league!

I'm not arguing with what your saying, but managing Spurs n City is chalk and cheese, for a start he'd be working better players at City, a higher budget and a top class academy.
Look at Mancini, had the resources when he came here. Won a league and Fa cup, elsewhere got no where near, baring Inter.
No, seeing as Pellegrini was in charge when Leicester won the League.And we could have won it but imploded also, does that make pep shit?

Well if he is as good a manager as the broadcasting media would have us believe, at least one of them.But then City have won 5 of the last 6 trophies. Which one do you think he should’ve won?
It's not good enough just improving a team when you're being compared to other managers like Pep.
We're constantly being reminded by the footballing fraternity that if we don't win anything this year it'll be a failure.
Okay, Pochettino hasn't won anything for 6 years. What does that make him?

We will never go from pep to someone who isn't driven to win everythingI'm not arguing with what your saying, but managing Spurs n City is chalk and cheese, for a start he'd be working better players at City, a higher budget and a top class academy.

Ok does that make pellegrini shit thenNo, seeing as Pellegrini was in charge when Leicester won the League.
They're in need of a massive overhaul... you've got the ones who are running their contracts down regardless of who the manager is - Eriksen, Toby, Jan, Rose. But then you've got the ones who are solely there just cos of Poch. Lo Celso and Ndombele made it clear they only really signed cos of him. What a mess.
Really horrible management from Levy, allowing them to be put into this situation and then sacking the man responsible for the improvements they've made in the past five years. What top class manager would want that job, knowing they'd have rebuild the team with a chairman like Levy? The fact that he was praised in the media for not giving Poch any transfers last year looks even more ridiculous now. He's allowed his squad to stagnate like this.
Amazon documentary will be brilliant mind you.

You don't really have any points though? I agree that Spurs really should have won the title in 2016 but beyond that he's done extremely well with what he's had to work with. He's competed the last few seasons playing attacking, high intensity football with a thin squad and with players who are underpaid and have their foot half out the door. Levy failed to reinforce the team, failed to renew players, and has consistently sold, even to rivals in some cases (like say, Kyle Walker). If you read absolutely anything about the club though you would know much the players love him and before this year the atmosphere he built in the dressing room was pretty amazing, and he plays attractive football.I see you ignored my points in my first reply
It's also pretty ironic to be slating him for domestic trophies when he's competing what may be the best team in English top flight history, against the best manager in the world. The same manager by the way who didn't do nearly as well his first season here while managing the kind of guys Pochettino has worked with consistently at Spurs. Which Spurs players would even get in our best XI right now?
Jesus you are hard work
Sorry folks for repetition
6yrs
A very decent group of player
No silverware
An open door to the title bottled to a team with no money and lesser players
Dismissed winning the domestic cups as not important
Lost a 3rd of his prem games last season
Off to a terrible start this season
Sitting in 14th
6 years. Got them to a CL final (something we've not managed yet). Turned perennial 5th & 6th placed team into a guaranteed top 4 side.
Dismissed the cups because he didn't have the squad for it. Pep makes a just as many changes, but we have the benefit of a bench stacked with world class players, and Poch didn't
Leicester by the way are not a team with no money and lesser players. Kante & Mahrez were genuinely world class and the team cost more than Spurs', and Leicester have spent 8x more than Spurs since Pochettino took over.
Take a look at this table and tell us again how much Pochettino underperformed.
You also never replied to the fact that everyone we might get post-pep is going to have none or very few trophies.
I think Pochettino gets fawned over too much in the media, but you've gone way too far the other way into childish levels of denying him credit.

Yep as just been pointed out, I stand corrected but people on here slating him should look at what he had to deal with, no money to spend and best players being sold so they could pay for a stadium, any manager would struggle with thatTo be fair, Pep wasn’t even our manager the year Leicester won the league!

Daniel Levy is the boss Poch has made him money Levy can then do it on the cheap
Ok does that make pellegrini shit then
Nice deflection.

That was a year earlier, both articles I mention are a couple of months ago, and it had been rumoured that he was going to add another year, maybe we just never announced it ? I don't believe much in any of those newspapers, and was just saying there is some conflicting information out there.Yeah, really difficult to pin down this info

Not deflecting at all, just saying city started the season same points as Tottenham and Leicester and everyone else, we didn't win it and it's ok, Tottenham didn't win it and they implodedNice deflection.
Mate, If Pep added a year on I'm pretty sure we'd have announced it! I hope It's the case either way though.That was a year earlier, both articles I mention are a couple of months ago, and it had been rumoured that he was going to add another year, maybe we just never announced it ?
