Think his biggest mistake was abandonning the DoF set up these last few years - with that in place we'd have been better positioned to handle the squad transition on a shoe string that was ultimately the downfall of the last set up
Didn't we move away from the DOF model on Poch's request and didn't that tie in with his job title change to have more responsibility?
Yeah and proved to be a mistake
Levy backing his manager you say?Didn't we move away from the DOF model on Poch's request and didn't that tie in with his job title change to have more responsibility?
It did, but I bet fans would have been on board with keeping Poch happy.Yeah and proved to be a mistake
The first team that started a match after Levy assumed control in March 2001:
Sullivan, Young, Doherty, Scumball, Thelwell, King, Clemence, Freund, Sherwood, Booth, Ferdinand.
We lost 1-2 to Derby. Taribo West scored an own goal.
If you could find better that would be a conversation, just don't see it .. lets use an example
- Poch, good manager, are there better? -> Pep, Jose, Simeone, Allegri, Ancelotti, Conte, Klopp, Wenger, SAF are all managers in and around Poch's time that CV, results, experience would indicate were/are better
- Levy, brilliant chairman, is there better? -> could you find one in the last 20 years that transformed a club financially, structurally, squad and on field results organically to the extent Spurs has? without money doping and cheating?
Listen, everyone has flaws, but Levy is about the best I've seen in my lifetime (I really am struggling to think of someone in the same ballpark)
- When I hear "maybe we should replace Levy", I feel the translation is "fudge this, I want a billionaire to come in and just throw money at the club ala Chelsea and City and I don't give a fudge where the money comes from"
- And this is same group of fans that "want a break from the game" because we fired Poch, it's hypocritical ..
If you want cheat mode on, ok .. that's you. If you want to play the game the right way (on and off the field), you simply are not going to get a better chairman ..
Levy backing his manager you say?

Agreed. 26 new signings in the Poch era- and only very very few were a success.
dont give a toss botNot sure about that. Maybe off the field but on the field, he is poor ! 18 years as chairman, 11 managers and 1 trophy, remember !

It’s a regular and fair criticism
Well I know we couldn’t afford manes wages...I wonder how many we'd have had to make if he'd been allowed to sign Mane and Winaldjum...
Well I know we couldn’t afford manes wages...
So who knows
Maybe if the money hadn’t been spent on other players we could have afforded Mané
Dont buy the N" brothers and moura and there's mane.
So three signings poch didn't want for one he did that almost certainly would have made a difference, if not to us definitely to Liverpool.
Honestly don't know, they maybe now but how many times has been renegotiated?I dunno about that, they are paying Mane over 15m a year aren’t they?
