Spurs will continue to challenge. I said the morning after our 2-2 draw which helped seal Leicester’s title win.
I stand by that. I think their manager is a major part of that.
I get why people rave about Poch and I also see the counter argument about him not having won anything yet.
If your Manager departed in the Summer (which at Chelsea aint unfeasible) and out of nowhere your club prised Poch away from Spurs, would you be happy?
Even if we got to the end of the season and Poch still had no trophies on his CV. Take away my disappointment that Conte was gone, I would be quite excited at the possibilities having a guy like Poch picking our starting 11 could bring.
My only reservation would actually be his scorning of the league cup, when he’s not yet won anything.
That aside I’d feel quite confident some of the players we think are ready would definitely be reviewed. But with that, I think a lot will depend on pressure from above.
If your team got Poch?

No point tagging Liverpool. Even Poch couldn’t make Horrenderson look good.

No I would not be happy to see Pochettino succeed Conte.I want Conte to stay as Chelsea manager for at least two more seasons after the current season and I want Diego Simeone to succeed Conte as Chelsea manager.

We are subject to the same limitations as Tottenham as is every club. The more you earn the more you can spend and we were earning more than Tottenham pre Roman. We also probably won more than Tottenham in the 20 years before Roman than Spurs did when they also had a spell of buying the best around like Gascoigne, Waddle, Lineker,, klinsman etc.
Spurs are doing very well, try being less bitter with it.

On the question of trophies, it depends on expectations of course.
Pochs net spend is about ten million pounds.
During the same period, Arsenal's is over one hundred. One hundred and forty I think but I don't recall exactly. Manchester United's is considerably greater still. Liverpool and City's is also considerable.
If you are dumb enough to believe that doesn't matter, then clearly you could make the argument he isn't doing particularly well because he hasn't won anything.
Anyone who understands context though will take a more positive view of what he has done.
There is another way of looking at it too. If Chelsea were subject to the same financial limitations as Tottenham are now, would they ever win anything again? Another way of putting it is had they been subjected to them in the past, would they have won anything at all?
The answer is probably not. Underlinesjust how what Leicester did what do unprecedented and historic. And look what happens after, Chelsea take their best player with ease.

We are subject to same rules as Spurs.
Our revenue is just close to double of yours

I would worry about Poch as manager at Chelsea because he is so fearful and negative in big games away
