I'm disappointed he's still employed by Spurs as of this moment. I'm still not quite sure how much blame I want to attribute to him out of all the blame that needs to be shared around amongst the board, the coaching staff and the players for our current situation (my current answer: definitely a chunk of blame, but how much?), but I am quite certain that regardless of the rights and wrongs of it all, our current negative trajectory can't be wholly reversed while Pochettino is in charge.

I'd like us to rip the plaster off rather than slowly peeling it and just try something else, because this isn't working and it's not going to without a change.

I’m backing him to turn it around.
Saying it will be painful - yes maybe - but it will be just as painful, if not more, starting over with a new manager.
I prefer stability and think he’s done enough over the last 5 seasons to be given the opportunity to rebuild.

With the dire situation we’re now facing at the club, your witty/humorous posts would be an uplift. Hope you’re back here on a regular basis.
You're too kind. I'll try but can make no promises. Hopefully our prospects take an upturn again soon and so humour won't be much needed.

Let's be honest, we all knew the summer went too well on the face of things. Anyone not expecting the inevitable gut punch with this club hasn't been paying attention.

Read somewhere here the compensation package to sack him is around £30 million. Can anyone confirm it's really this ball park figure?

no - it’s just all guesswork.

i would imagine we would have to pay c £10m (Poch plus his team)

The place is a regime and they’re sick of him’ – are Pochettino, Levy or the players to blame for Spurs’ crisis?
Never ever understand why would journalistic work at this age of the Internet of sharing would be gated.

I should imagine it's Poch.

16 matches left this calendar year. If those that still have faith in Poch and think we need to stick with and he'll fix it in January are to be believed. With the current results and even more worryingly, performances, continue then we'll have sacked off the season by then already. We'll be lucky to see any European football at all next season.

30m to sack him though. Isn't gonna happen. Poch has Levy by the balls

But missing out on CL next season will cost more than £30m

Very much doubt it would cost £30 million to sack him. Those contracts are the size of the old telephone books and i’d be shocked if Levy had’nt included certain clauses to cut the payout if Poch were to be sacked.

Through gritted teeth I vote out. I just can't see how he can turn this around. I accept he's had a rough deal with lack of investment but that simply isn't an excuse for how truly shite we've become over the last year. He still has a squad of very good players, he is failing to get them playing as a team. And telling the world you might quit before the club's biggest game in recent history... WTF no wonder the players aren't playing for him. He's done an incredible job of getting us to this position but it's time for a change before all his good work is undone and his reputation is ruined in the process.

A lot of the people who want Poch out didn't follow Spurs in the 90s and early 2000s.
Yawn. I was a Spurs fan in those times and the fact we were bad on and off the pitch during this time doesn't mean our current manager is right for us where we are.

I am fully aware you're a troll but there are non-trolls coming out with this sentiment and it is tiresome and off the point.

On the contrary, we have no qualms to break the incumbent because what worse will happen? We have been there done that before.

We did mate and for some of us go further back than that and yet we thought we were leaving this shit behind but it seems it is set to continually follow us.

In a way I'd really hope so. The form simply isn't good enough with the tools at his disposal.

People have a go at the board for the lack of investment but several sources have all said that it was Poch who decided not to spend. There is value out there, which is what Leicester have found. The performances, results and now the player recruitment all fall at the managers door. He complained this summer about just being a coach, but how do we know it wasn't Levy that said enough is enough and we need to spend? It would be against the grain but he's said himself that now is time to invest in the squad.

Who gives a shit about the 90’s etc now?! It’s about looking forward...are Man United going to think that ‘we stuck with Fergie for x amount of years we’ll give Ole a few more seasons’...it’s not like that now....for better or worse times have changed in football.
