Next Spurs Manager

My post wasn’t that we didn’t spend this year.
It was that we left it all too late. Too late in terms of windows, and too late in terms of getting more deals done that window.

Too little too late basically!

Having sat on it for 3 windows previously, leaving is disastrously off the pace on recruitment, replacement and strengthening.

Point is, say Mourinho comes in - chances are there will be money available.

Same as if Poch could see his way ahead, would be there for him too

I don’t think that’s fair at all, I think even now our squad is one of the strongest around.

Toby is obviously old but the rest of them should be in the best physical condition of their lives, we have two players for every slot who have put in runs of incredible form in the past.

There is no excuse for the current performance level, it can only be laziness or incompetence.

It’s not fair to say we should have had the opportunity to have the squad bolstered 18 months ago rather than taking zero action?.... hmmmm, ok then.

My line at the time was that I couldn’t see how we could improve it with the available budget, looking at what we had to spend this year to make a marginal gain I think that line holds true.

I’ll not disagree, but I do think you are an extremely generous and forgiving fellow!

But Poch chose not to spend it so he is culpable

And should we have brought someone for the sake of it...

And the comment about buying late in the window

This summer we brought two in early and sent one off on loan that if we hadn’t brought him early and seen they were bringing in a load of of others loans we may not have done that

Made no difference on sessegnon a season he was injured and Le Celso was back at his club 18 days before we finally got a deal done (one that had to be a loan to buy because of how complex it was)....

So possibly we could have got Le Celso over the lien earlier but that wouldn’t have stopped his injury away with Argentina

I’m not sure if you’re actually disagreeing, as everything your point out is supporting my original post really?...

The issue is that we didn’t spend but didn’t want too as no one was deemed good enough

People claim Poch hasn’t been backed... he has As much as he has wanted

Similarly people say we didn’t buy early... see my post above

Cool. And on that point, surely we have to feel that was a massive mistake?

No one good enough??! I’d wager there’s no one bad enough out there at the moment!

I think the roots cause is as someone said above - all the players thought Poch was leaving this summer, and have got bored, downed tools and/or mentally moved on already.
