So Spurs now have the balls to suck a man that brought back a little of glory to them like taking part in Champions League football without spending much on players? 
I still feel such a kind of manager should have been given time... at least until the end of the season.

Who else thinks Spurs will just continue to crumble instead?

Chelsea could seriously compete for the title in a few seasons but they’re way too inexperienced at the moment. Liverpool and City have been there & done it, they are far better equipped for a season long assault at the big trophies.

except for the forward part of Chelsea other part of the field have experienced substitutes. However, if the team produce a better performance that secure a position at top 2, it will be shame on premiership.  Fortunately, Chelsea had produced a better performance at every change of manager but not in such a depth of inexperienced  crop of players. the 2 better teams, Liverpool and man city have fewer season for their top players to ware out

Interesting.
It will be fun to see how they do in the next match against West Ham.

Big match for City against inform Chelsea and Liverpool should be winning against Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

[Theb]

There has been literally just 12 games in and we are talking about "who goes to European cups" already? I can guarantee you that we have no clue how the league will shape up even in the next few weeks let alone how it will shape up in the next 3-4 months and until the end.

I have to disagree with you even with just 12 games in for all of the teams this means that they have at least matched against another 12 teams this already shows their potential on who will be on top of the league table, 12 games is almost a third of the season as well so this is a good bearing to see or where will the teams will go at the end. Yes you might be surprised that Leicester and Sheffield are in the top 5 of the EPL but you can see them defeat teams like Arsenal, Everton, and Crystal Palace this just show how dominant they can be even if they aren't expected to perform this well early in the season. League changes are possible but I doubt there will be a lot of difference by the end of the season in terms of the positioning of the teams.

Next coach of Spurs can be Mou, there is any site where is already possible to bet on the next coach?

Rumours on Mou are all over the twitter.

Right now if we decided on social media then surely Mou is next boss of Spurs as its going one of hot topics around the world but if Spurs management bring Mou then surely they have to be some good amount for him as he is very active in transfer windows without this his works never been good.

Big mistake sacking Pochettino at this stage. Why did they do it now? There are 8 Premier League games to play before the end of the year, they should have waited until after Christmas to review the situation.

Daniel Levy the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur sacked Harry Redknapp when there was talk about him becoming England manager just because Harry did not rule himself out. Unfortunately for him England rejected him and Tottenham sacked him. With Pochettino it seems the remarks he made about the players not trying in some of the games they played this season resulted in a semi-revolt by some players.

In those 5 years Tottenham really did well under Pochettino but never had a world-class marquee signing, he worked well on a shoe-string budget. Tottenham finished 2nd in the Premier League in the 2016/17 season finishing 7 points behind winners Chelsea but a massive 8 points ahead of 3rd placed Manchester City.

In the 5 years Pochettino was there, Tottenham really seemed like they could win the league on at least two occasions if they just added a couple of world class signings. The blame lay with Levy not Pochettino.

Sadly for Pochettino the biggest error he made while manager of Tottenham was not starting with Lucas in the Champions League final. He should have brought Kane on to play around the 70-75 minute mark.

Rumours on Mou are all over the twitter.

Yeah while watching the euro qualifying tourney at halftime this was the headliner and not the score of the game which were being played.
They even posted the title Tottenhams next permanent manager odds -
Jose mourinho 1-6
Rafa benitez   8-1
Carlo Ancelotti 9-1
Eddie howe    12-1
Julian nagelsmann 16-1
Massimiliano allegri 18-1
Brendan rodgers    20-1
Chris wilder     33-1

Most of the news outlets which caught this story are going with the favorite and saying jose will get the job before their next game.

[Upgrade00]

Mourinho to Tottenham would result in a dynamic shift in their style of play and also the dressing room atmosphere. Pochetino complained a couple of times es about the players not following his instructions, while Jose has a way of instilling his philosophy into the team, but for a limited time. For now, it's just rumours, there are still other candidates for the job; Allegri is pretty good at managing a budget and would be a good fit at Spurs.

HOLY SHIT!!! I kinda expected it to happen very soon, but right after the international break is over? wtf?

What they were they supposed to do? Keep remembering the good 'ol days while the team's fighting to get out of the relegation zone? IMO they did the right thing, the team has shown no signs of improvement in the league since last season, they're a complete disaster if you compare it with other seasons, Poch had to go.

Well, Poch was sacked before Solskjaer, Emery, Valverde, Marco Silva...Crazy!

That's football for you and why the premier is the most entertaining league of them all, few months back I remaining poch celebration Tottenham comeback against Ajax to reach the champions league finals like he has just won the championship league few months later he's sacked. Although poch kept Tottenham in the top four in the last four years, most of it they weren't playing like contender and this season is even worst as they have been very poor so it's coming as no surprise.

Here's an appointment I'll love to see, Mourinho gets appointed as Spurs manager. Emery gets sacked by Arsenal and Pochettino gets appointed as Arsenal manager. Then probably Emery moves to West Ham. Saw this somewhere on twitter and i love it.

I do not know where Mourinho's decision will be anchored where it is clear if Tottenham has a coach like Mourinho there will definitely be dynamic changes, but sometimes also Mourinho is stubborn in managing his players but if the player under his instructions I am sure his squad will be strong.

[Avirunes]

I thought Emery will be  sacked before Pochettino. Seems like time went up early for Poch (too bad  ). Mourinho seems like a likely next coach but it will be hell lot of work for him to make team straight on track again.

Spurs may have been too bad this season, but I do not support a sack, if you look at how he has improved Tottenham and brought them to the elite stage, surely he deserves more time to fix the current terrible form in the team. Spurs may have never looked like title contenders in the last four seasons and just looked like they were ready to settle for top four, but if you look at their budget in buying players, do you really think they deserve more, Liverpool and Manchester City, the two main title contenders in those years have recruited better players, and have larger budget. Pochettino was doing all he was doing without forcing the team to spend big.

There'll be a major decision soon, it would be so interesting to see Mourinho back in the dug out mid way into the season, and in the Epl, would make it much more interesting, pochettino would definitely get a job soon, he is a good manager.

[Upgrade00]

...

For a while. Pochetino was obviously building something with the Tottenham team, it didn't get to mature but he surely elevated the level of the team during his stay. The lack of any sort of silverware in his over five years in charge must have contributed to his sack.

So Spurs now have the balls to suck a man that brought back a little of glory to them like taking part in Champions League football without spending much on players?

Leicester sacked Claudio Raneirri after he gave them a league title and a taste of champions league football. Football is a progressive sport and every team has to be constantly evolving.

That would not be possible, Arsenal is the rival of Tottenham in one city. I even felt that Poch was going to Bayern Munich. Or maybe Manchester United? lol
Pochettino is a good coach with players who have not changed much from Tottenham because Poch is rarely given the opportunity to buy players, with his new club, hopefully, he will be given the power to buy the players he wants

[Trofo]

There is something seriously wrong in Spurs dressing room. There was some rumours but only players know the real truth. I seriously doubt that the problem was manager but you can't sack half of your players while you can change the manager.

Anyway, I am not worried about Pochettino, he made a name for himself and he will be able to chose his next destination. In his place I wouldn't go to Arsenal for sure. They have a squad of limited talents and losing mentality. More importantly, supporters would never forgive him.

Pochettino is a great coach to my eyes he is better that Mourinho.
The Spurs needed a change and the hope that Mourinho is going to bring it. They cannot go even worse. Mourinho is going to bring some positive results to Tottenham and he is going to take the credits for that as well - stating that he is the special one.

Currently as it stands...

I see Manchester City winning that match but that would not dent Chelsea while they are part of the chasing pack. You are right Chelsea have played amazing football, I am surprised how easily Lampard has fitted in to the management role and how the players have bought in to the ethos. Well done to him for putting his faith in youth and taking risks even after the disastrous 0-4 loss at Manchester United on the opening day of the season.

I think Leicester will start slowing down and will not be part of the top three at the end of the season  but they will be 4th or 5th and it means Arsenal, Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur will try to end up in that 4th or 5th place.

Chelsea will be third and Liverpool and Manchester City will battle it out for the top spot but that could all change by the end of the year.

did you know that lampard is one of the most intelligent footballer ? 10 years ago he scored over 150 in an IQ test with MENSA -a non-profit- high IQ society organization- putting him in the most intelligent 0.1 per cent of the population. so that is your answer   lampard did a great job even at his first managerial career at derby county nearly deliver them to promote to EPL , guess what happened after lampard leaving derby county? they are struggling at 16th now.

i believe in leicester city team work spirit , their main strength that putting them on top 2 is the team work, they have done and prove it i guess when they managed to surprised everyone around the globe by winning the most prestigious league , they are on that track now .

that is very reasonable to put chelsea on third by the end of the season , i just expecting something unexpected like liverpool dropped to third and leicester & chelsea battle it out, what about that?
