Like anything there is a huge lack of context when people talk about that, take into account the fact Poch pretty much carried the club during its 2/3 year upheaval of leaving WHL, time at wembley and the delays and uncertainty to returning back to the stadium, I find people often discount how well he did to maintain a status quo with results and performances with those changes, until the end, when yeh results suffered but with that and the CL distraction, you can kind of understand it. People like to add up two seasons for stats sake but ultimately his last season for us read 4th and a CL runners up place....
Plus as I think we both agree, the 14th place BS does not really tell a full story, we were 4 points off 5th and I think people ignore the fact we played City, Arsenal and Liverpool had a ridiculous decision to overturn a goal at Leics for 2-0 when we were slaughtering them and a 97th min Everton equaliser, but the run of results were never a bad as made out. We could argue all day about the stress and strain but he had more cash in the bank for me and especially not to be sacked for Joseball
And ultimately, as I have said before, his comments to Lineker were proven right then and remain true to today, so its hard to argue that someone that understood the culture at Spurs more than anyone was not the right man to take us forward even if it meant a year to regroup
