On Poch: I admire so much about the man. He had the broadest of shoulders & would always try to take responsibility for anything bad, whilst passing on the praise to others for anything good. He tried to run a meritocracy, to be consistent & to treat the players fairly.

He hugely over achieved on the 6th biggest wage bill in the PL. He stuck to his principals even when the going got tough & he never lost the dressing room, which is quite astounding in the circumstances.

If there was one man I'd give almost anything to work under and learn from, it's him. I supported him until the very end. But I almost feel a sense of relief now he's gone. It felt like he needed a break ever since the CL final.

He was sick of facing the same problems with the squad. But I think without some bad luck & injuries this season, the momentum could have changed & it could all have worked out. But that didn't happen. Poch would never quit, it's against everything he stands for.

But I can't help but feel that amidst the sadness, there might have been some relief for him. He'll go away, charge his batteries, come back better than ever. I'd welcome him back to Spurs if the chance ever came.

Re Mourinho: logically, we know he'll burn brightly, start some fires & leave, but may we'll deliver a trophy along the way. Instead of watching a 'mentor' figure lead the club, we get to watch a glorious anti-hero. Perhaps it'll be a healthier way to engage with football.

I can't deny that I'm excited. I hope Poch goes abroad & I can root for him. It would kill me a little to see him at another English club. Now, let's sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride. COYS
