Haha thanks for your concern but no, just been a supporter of this club for nearly 40 years. In that time I have seen more relegation and mid table battles than finals and top 4 finishes. I have also seen my fair share of truly brick managers.
In the period of so called "concern" let's say Jan 19, it has been conveniently forgotten that we were also played a two leg semi with Chelsea which we narrowly lost having beaten both Arsenal and West Ham in earlier rounds, we won European ties against Dortmund, City and Ajax Having come through a group including Inter and Barca. This with practically no defensive midfield, Kane and Alli out at different times, Verts concussed, Son banned for the first Ajax game and players knackered from the world cup let alone a long hard season. A season where we started very well winning a record number of games having made no signings.
So, forgive me mate if I don't join the witch hunt I have tremendous respect for a manager who has given me the longest, unbroken period of joy in my time supporting Spurs. I am willing to give him the benefit while he sorts this out. I think it's the least he deserves.
There is no “hunt” but if you can’t see that something is wrong I have no clue what your watching, the lucking our way to Madrid masked over all the problems, we were lucky to get out of the group stage by getting Barcelona last and they rested players and frankly played like they were on holidays, Dortmund had a mid season meltdown and threw away a double digit lead at the top of the German league that cost them the German title, it just happened we played them at that time, at the time we were still scrapping results, the away leg we frankly should have been 2 even 3-0 down by HT. City was perfect timing the first leg was the second game back at the Lane, no one was going to beat us those first few games and 1-0 was huge, the clean sheet changed the dynamic of the second leg and we still got away with trying to throw it away thanks to VAR, Ajax again frankly are not all that they beat a Madrid in meltdown and had a brilliant second half against Juventus, we made them look amazing in the first leg through poor team selection and tactics, three at the back marking a false nine, we only escaped with a 1-0 loss because Vertonghen got concussed which forced a sub after what 25-30 minutes whatever it was, otherwise everyone knows that nothing would have happened till at least 60-65 minutes and we probably would have been further behind, the 2nd leg again Ajax were not all that we should be getting to quarter finals imo Ajax should not never mind semis, we went out there done the job, take the emotion away but we made hard work of it.
Look at the league form it’s posted somewhere on here this morning, it’s actually worse than I thought, the last 15 games we would be in the bottom three, the only three wins at the end of last season that got us 4th happened to be the first three league games back home, do you honestly say with any confidence if them games were either at Wembley or if we moved back home last September as originally planned we would have got them 9 points, I don’t.
And this fatigue it’s a complete excuse we were scoring loads of goals late and finishing strong, that doesn’t make sense for a team fatigued and knackered, not to mention this season has been a continuation of last seasons form, nothing has changed despite having a break and a full pre season, the teams picked against Villa and Saudi Sportswashing Machine while obviously not our strongest they should still have been able to comfortably beat them.
Not to mention Pochs overall mood and attitude, something is so clearly wrong, I don’t know anybody that wants Poch out but the issues have to be addressed, sticking you head in the sand and pretending everything is fine does more harm than good.
