Why are we desperate for the manager Spurs deemed not good enough to take them to the next level?
Well he did take them to the next level didn't he?
Spurs don't win... Spurs don't always qualify for the CL I think before Poch it was 2 or 3 seasons in the 10 previous they'd go in under Poch I think it's been 4 out of 5.
In 5 years he's turned them into a team that qualifies every year and also competes in the competition they don't just dive out at the group stage they've had a few knockout round games and had a miracle run to the final last year. I think where he probably went wrong was not going after the domestic cups and getting one of them in the bag think it was 1 league cup final & 1 FA Cup semi final in his 5 years but the pressure was always on him from about to get CL because of the finances.
Utd need to get back to being a consistent CL club before we can think of winning the league my point is Poch I think was the man to rebuild it he might not be the man to put us back on top of the mountain but he'll get us close to the top right now we're just stood on the ground looking up.
I think Poch himself called out the issues he saw it coming he wanted to freshen up the squad 2 years ago but the club were clearly holding off on the spending until the stadium was done. He knew the message was no longer as strong as it was at the start and new faces were required I don't have it exactly but the last few summers the signings have been minimal.
2019 Ndombele, Sessegnon, Lo Celso
2018 NO-ONE
2017 Sissoko, Aurier, Moura (think Moura came in January)
He's then got the issue of the club not really being able to increase the wage bill to keep the existing players happy which has finally come to a conclusion this season. This is why the Mourinho thing to me makes no sense surely he's not going to put up with that for very long and if they suddenly release a load of money to spend you have to question why give it to him and not to Poch?
I think it would be harsh to sack Ole based on this season it's been a tough start but he's done some key work in rebuilding the squad but you do have to question his ability as a coach and tactician because despite having been in the job for 12 months Utd still don't know how to break down teams who are well organised defensively and don't look like a team that really controls a game of football.
