Despite beating Real Madrid 1-0 in the Audi Cup, the game was best remembered for Mauricio Pochettino’s post-match comments.
Next week is make it or break it for Levy. If he doesn’t Poch is walking next summer. It’s clear by his recent comments that he has had enough. We all know Zidane is getting sacked and won’t last at RM. Imagine Perez coming for a fed up and unhappy Poch. #backpoch https://t.co/6DGJlpECuI

The Tottenham manager took aim at the Spurs board in a press conference via the Guardian for the lack of transparency between him and what transfer dealings have been going on in the background.
Pochettino even went as far to say that he should have his job title at the club changed from manager to coach, with the club making just two signings this summer (per Transfermarkt).
With the nature of the quotes, many Tottenham fans took to social media to back up Pochettino, with the hashtag #BackPoch quickly doing the rounds on Twitter as a way to rally behind the Spurs boss.
Here is what some fans had to say about Pochettino’s comments…

In 5 years Pochettino has changed the footballing culture at Spurs – taken us to places we couldn’t have imagined, involved in games we couldn’t have fathomed, and competing on the biggest stages in football. This man deserves the signings he wants. Back the movement. #BackPoch pic.twitter.com/mRuSjZPuoV

From mid table to regulars in the champions league.
He got us to the final on a transfer budget of a portion of chips and a spanish lamppost playing up front.
They have the chance to #BackPoch this summer and so far ENIC have chosen not to.#ENICout pic.twitter.com/73FZAbeHKN— Jordan (@jordancoughlann) July 30, 2019

Securing Champions League football for the last 4 years and taking us to the next level with basically no financial backing. By far the most important thing to happen to our club in a long time. ENIC, give the man the players he wants or get out of my club #BackPoch pic.twitter.com/XZfGqcfEH9

Please do not let this opportunity pass us by.
Please do not avoid investing in the team.
Please do not let the commercial success of the club influence the pitchside decisions.
Please do not let this man slip through our fingers.
Please #backpoch pic.twitter.com/FrR1f3QZsW

Tottenham have been linked with the likes of Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon (per Football London), yet have only added Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele to their first-team for next season for a club-record £53.6 million (per BBC Sport).
