Or how about get rid of the players he has lost, the players who wanted to leave and Levy ,for whatever reason, failed to move on .

Give him the chance to rebuild.

Have you considered that option?

Then if he still fails sack him....that would be more respectful don't you think?

If rumours are true you would rather we get rid of all the players that want out anyway plus Kane and Son than change the manager?

I have said numerous times if the players are behind him and he has the determination to stay then he should. So yes I have considered that option.

I am not convinced that keeping a manager if we don't think he is right for us from here is respectful. As I said we can fire him, tell the world he has done a great job but it was time for a change. Would be respectful if it's that important to you.

Throwing Kane and Son into this debate is grasping..

Eriksen,Rose,Toby ,Jan Wanyama and possible Dier are the players that are surplus,, Poch is stuck with them till the window opens or indeed summer.

Why is it grasping?

Eriksen, Rose,TA,Wanyama and maybe Dier are surplus. Surplus players need to be sold.

But my point is there are lots of stories about Poch losing the dressing room. There are stories suggesting Kane and Son are not happy with Poch. My point was IF this story is true then Poch's position is much weaker. I was responding to your post of us selling the players Poch has lost ahead of losing Poch himself. If Kane and Son are players Poch has lost then it is Poch who should go not our world class players.

Nobody was shocked that he wanted TA out. 18 months ago he refused to sign a contract so it was a matter of time before we sold him for a reduced fee or lost him or nothing. Most don't want us to hold onto a player that doesn't want to be here so no, we weren't shocked at all at Poch wanting him out.

I have not heard that Poch wants Jan out. The story ofJan leaving have only surfaced this season after a few poor performances and the unlikely story ofhim triyng to shag Eriksen's Mrs.

How long would it take for Mourinho to publicly complain about not being backed in the transfer market ?

Didn't Vertonghen say he'd be happy to sign a new deal but then wasn't offered one?

Just background stories at this stage. Haven't heard anything about Poch actively wanting rid which is what I was responding to.

Can I just say how funny it is that a lot of you Voted for Jose Mourinho, Is that because a lot of you are caught up in the Media world in thinking that only a EPL Manager with EPL exp. can achieve anything at Spurs because we are an EPL Club ?

I honestly don't get how Mourinho could be 2nd in this poll, if Poch goes, Allegri for me. I just saw what Jose did at United, IDK if he could not succeed there, why would he succeed here at Tottenham.

"It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."

Two trophies is a success.

I know he spent a lot of money but United wanted him to catch City and challenge them for the title, but City were still outspending them each season.

I bet he won't be happy with our defenders and ask for a massive rebuild in the first place. He doesn't develop players.

His back four at United was Young, Smalling, Jones and Valencia, so I don't see why he'd have an issue with our players. And we know some of them need replacing in the next couple of transfer windows anyway.

dontcallme said:
I am so torn on the direction we should take. It seems inevitable that Poch is on his way out. When results and performances are bad for such a long period it is rare for a manager to turn it around.

Mourinho is an intelligent man and I believe he would only take the job,and Levy would only appoint him, if they had a full discussion beforehand on our finances and way the club would be run before taking the job. Both men are pragmatists so I can't see Jose taking the job on empty promises.

Mourinho has been successful at every club he has been at. As far as European competition is concerned he has punched above his weight and won trophies with players not as good as their competition.

There are some interesting managers out there more in the Poch mould. Young, up and comers at smaller clubs who would love the opportunity to manage a top 6 Prem club. Naturally there is a risk and the more I think about it the more I move towards the Jose appointment.
Click to expand...

This is pretty much where I am. I don't like Jose. I think he's a bully and eventually creates division throughout the clubs he manages, but he could just be what we need if Poch goes. With the players we've got here at the moment we need someone who can come in and get them challenging for a trophy quickly. We can't wait another two or three seasons as Kane and Son and many of the others will be off if we don't win something soon. If you ignore his personality the main reason that most don't want him is because he likes to spend a lot of money, which is traditionally something that we don't do, but we seem to be entering a chapter where the increased revenue from the stadium can help us buy better players than we've been able to afford in the past. And it's not like Poch hasn't been asking for expensive players as well. He's shopping for players in the £50M+ bracket now as well. As you say Jose and Levy would work out the transfer budget before the appointment so there shouldn't be any nasty surprises in store for Jose if he did come.

I still think Allegri would be a good appointment, but I don't see too many other attractive and available options out there.

Firstly I haven't read any rumours about Kane or son unhappy, I hope your source isn't Merson...
As for Toby, our low contract offer was a signal to him that we wanted him out rather than the other way round, it's not like he refused a top offer....
Jan was dropped from the season opener, that was obviously before his drop in form,

My source was through here. Heard it a few times but no idea of the validity. Highly doubt people here are sourcing Merson.

Your Toby point is completely inaccurate. The story was Poch got the board to offer a high wage to meet Alderweireld's demands. TA's agent then moved the goalposts and they asked for a lotmore in the belief a top club would come in for him. This has been backed up by our ITK's and a number of media sources. You are the first person I have seen suggesting we offered him a low wage.

Jan not playing one game is an indication of nothing.

Some people have a different set of values. Mourinho says he wants a new start with new back room staff. If he were to bring John Terry with him would that be OK? It wouldn't be with me even if we won the mighty League Cup.
Click to expand...
No. I'd take Mourinho because I've always had a sneaking respect for the guy and like the pantomime baddy character that he portrays.
John Terry is just a **** of the highest order and has no redeeming characteristics that I'd want at my club.

I feel like Toby & Jan are both holding out as they think they can outlast the manager and get a new deal with better terms.

Is there though?
We've just spent a fair old whack and by all accounts, were willing to spend more last window. We've got money to spend, obviously not as much as City or United but big money nonetheless.
Does Levy really want to give that to Poch, looking at the current state of us, or would he rather give it to a new manager?

If we spend a ton this January with Poch, history tells us that we won't see any benefit until next season.
Mourinho would get his moneys worth straight away.
