Spurs have been a dumpster fire for more or less thirty years. So a good manager comes along, carries an average team to the CL final, wants to change the squad and isn't allowed to.
Clearly this is all his fault.
That is Trump-like argumentation.
I might say so is the above post.
Isn't allowed to?
How many teams invested more than Spurs this summer? N'Dombele, Lo Celso and Sessegnon are nobody?
And since Levy is supposedly only thinking about money he didn't allow Pochettino to clear anyone out?
The fact is every single player maybe bar Son have looked average or worse this season. When a whole squad collapses the manager has to take some blame. And this goes back much further. Lose to City in the CL and Pochettino would have been long gone. Played like crap that spring and they have just continued now.
And for those that make fun of Sherwood. He took more points than Pochettino has managed for some time now. Says quite a lot about what Pochettino has managed in the league lately.
Spurs were **** before the fluke CL run and he's underachieved with the talent that he had. Funny how a team with talents like Kane, Son, Alli, Vert, Toby, Eriksen, N'Dombele and Lo Celso is now considered average.

Clearly you have very little knowledge about Spurs.
You don´t know where to start? Why not? Buying 3 top class talents isn´t relevant?
Yes. Lloris has been the problem. Do you even watch Spurs games except for when they play Liverpool? I doubt it.
Yes. Worst comment. Holy hyperbole. That might be the worst. Sherwood took over a team in trouble and managed 6th and 69 points. Probably better than Pochettino would have managed after building a team for 6 years. I know Sherwood is a #"%"# and that Pochettino is a much more charismatic man so.....
Haha. Stop it.
And Pochettino got nothing to do with neither of these players, and many more, not having been close to their level 1-3 years ago lately?
Chelsea should never have sacked Mourinho the first place with this logic.
But keep on pretending that you know anything about Spurs. No-one can know on a message board right.
You are aware that Sessegnon was terrible at Fulham last season and that Lo Celso was poor when he played for PSG, yes?
This is a poor reading of what I was saying. Missing players is going to hurt the team as a whole.
Yes, I have been watching less Spurs games because my mom has cancer and probably will die, so I'm busy. I've still seen enough.
Tottenham were in 7th place when AVB was sacked. Sherwood took them one position further up the table. It took me one minute to look this up so I'm not sure what your excuse is.
You're really off on one right now. It's not like Spurs are anywhere near as good as the Chelsea team Mourinho failed to consistently manage to good results.
When Spurs consistently goes back to their usual position in the table, we'll see how you feel. What we have here is a situation where the manager had said the squad needed serious refreshing, that he'd done all with them that he could do. Levy felt otherwise. Levy was wrong. He sacked the manager because he was wrong.
You know Lo Celso didn´t play for PSG last year right? Strange how Salah is better now than he was at Chelsea. Or that City shouldn´t really count on de Bruyne as he wasn´t always this good before.
Did I say Sherwood did a brilliant job? He still took more points and improved a team with far worse players than Pochettino has got.
I´m not saying Pochettino doesn´t deserve credit for the job he did. I did even argue at a point he was just as good as Klopp. The football Spurs played in 16/17 was the best I have ever seen Spurs play. I will always respect him for that. But that is not the Pochettino Spurs have had for quite some time. He used to be positive, brave etc. Now he moans about every little thing, subs on a 5 defender home against Sheffield United etc. He is a completely different man than he used to be. Wish him well, but it was time for Spurs to move on.
You mean around top 4 which they have been since Jol?
Pochettino has had 2 seasons that were better - one significantly - than Jol, Redknapp and AVB managed. The rest are not that much better - if at all.
When Redknapp bought big he brought in Palacios and Defoe. Most people probably don´t even know who Palacios was any longer. He was our saviour in midfield.
Spurs could end up with a Moyes, a Klopp or something in between. Of course, but we were already closing in on having a Moyes so...
Pochettino clearly stayed too long, but a strange time to get rid of him. For all the Jose talk, I cannot picture him working well with Levy. Something it rotten at Tottenham and it’s easier to fire the coach than the players. Pochettino will land on his feet and probably get a better post. Hard to see Tottenham going up from here.
