Also kind of ridiculous they could have just gone for Conte during the summer, which obviously shows that Conte is NOT their first choice and isn't going to fit, otherwise Conte has a better track record than Nuno and should have got the job back then.
100% - and that's not hindsight talking, as is often the case. Most people with an opinion on it at the time thought it was madness. Pochettino took Spurs to the next level, and they were never going to fare better under Mourinho, who was well into his soured milk phase by then. Sacking Pochettino was the mistake that's lead them to here.
Yep obviously didn't know it was going to be Mourinho, but always thought Mou went there because Spurs had pretty talented squad and were fairly young.
But now we know that Spurs players are generally soft, which Mou kept on making the point that they had to be 'bastards'.
I think they wanted a change from Poch and he had been there a while, so I think that's fair to inject some new ideas, but Poch was good for the club, and they got rid of him at the first dip in form.
