It’s a non contest. Levy plays big boy among the English clubs and then gets on his knees for Madrid. It will go the same way as Modric and Bale, with Madrid getting what they want.
Next Real Madrid manager | Glaston has a shocker

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
@GlastonSpur Genuine question, is there more Poch can do at Spurs with the wages and transfer budget he has? Considering Liverpool who are at the same level of you in terms of transfers seem to be spending like the big boys this summer?
Are there any reports about Levy giving him more funds this summer?

Poch has pretty much the same philosophy in football as Wenger... que the “top for trophy” quips.
Yup Poch called on backing from Levy at the end of the season, Poch signs new contract. Wages will defo increase and there will be a kitty to spend from. Liverpool have outspend us for season yet have finished behind us for seasons.
Well obviously. It was a fairly shit offer of a bet. It was just you swinging your dick again like anyone is impressed. It could’ve been answered in one post if you were able to admit you were talking shite.
I just dont see him working out at all at Madrid, not to say they wont go in for him. Convincing young eager players that want first team football to do double training sessions is easy enough. His training sessions are notoriously brutal, trying to enforce them on established super stars that have won everything is another thing entirely. Poch has won nothing to earn these players respect, he's not a legend of the game like Zidane, he doesnt have the pedigree and trophies of a Mourinho from a coaching perspective.
Not to mention his pretty methodical clearing out of anyone that doesnt fit his style like he did at Spurs, which you can get away with at clubs like Spurs. That will divide dressing rooms at clubs like RM, you cant just ship out 500mil worth of players because they dont fit your style/vision/philosophy, etc.

I'm expecting some resistance this time.
Ronaldo and Ramos hated playing for Benitez so that's a total no no and indeed his reign featured a 5-0 home defeat to Barca didn't it. Rafa is a good manager but him managing Real Madrid never seemed right to me.
Real Madrid win european cups, Wenger dosen't win european trophies....next.
I think a big contender would be Conte if he is sacked by Chelsea in next few days for Sarri.
Maybe Del Bosque could come back as a short term move unless he's retired now after leaving Spanish national team.
Could see them pay that. They don't need that much for their team and haven't spent as much the last two years.
Hahahaha that would be gold if Real poached Pochettino.
They don’t need that much? Going forward they certainly do.
But don't you support Spurs? Lennon, NL for North London etc?

You can't keep a want away manager. Its just not feasible
You mean offensively? Bale and Ronaldo could stay, so they might just need to replace Benzema. I'd trust Ceballos and Kovacic with Modric (32) and Kroos (28) around. They have Marcos Llorente for rotation with Casemiro, who's only 26. As for the full-backs they have Hakimi and Theo Hernandez as backups to Marcelo (30) and Carvajal (26), both are promising players. Vallejo and Nacho as backups to Sergio Ramos (32) and Varane (25). Forgot about their goalkeeper. They only really need a new striker in my eyes, a new goalkeeper (since they aren't happy with Navas) and perhaps a better backup than Nacho for Ramos and Varane.
That’s fair enough if they want to have the season they had in La Liga, they need investment if they want to catch Barca.
If you think so then fair enough. You would know more about Poch than me, I just find it hard to really envision that that kind of character still exists in world football today. It seems like a dead breed, the loyal manager.
If he does stay then fair play to him for not just chasing the best chance at winning trophies. It would be massive for Spurs if he sticks with the club.
Exactly especially during the summer months.
What will the likes of Eriksen and Kane think? What will potential transfer targets think?
If he wants to go then there is no stopping him. Levy can’t do a damn thing unless he wants to put his ego first and disrupt Spurs season. Which he did in 2008 with Berbatov.
Posted in the other thread about this, but posting it here too
42 million in compensation? That's a shit ton of money and probably shows how much Madrid rate Pochettino. I won't be surprised if Madrid meet that figure either by paying or offering a player in return. A manager is one of the most important appointments today in football and Spurs have every right to demand the full sum.

I think Poch will manage at Real at some point but right now would be a terrible time for him to go there. The next manager there will be part of a transition, their big players coming to the end of their careers. I love Poch but he has absolutely no experience dealing with that. I’m not saying he wouldn’t want the Real job but not at this time.
He has a presser with Balague (who thinks he will stay at Spurs) tomorrow so we will hear from the man himself. I’m hoping he has the integrity I think he does, if he doesn’t we will move on. I’m confident he will stayx
Real would have to pay what Spurs would pay Poch in wages? How does that make any sense?
Cause he is under contract, also Poch would want his back room staff, that would probably have to be paid too.
And you know this how? The players in their prime aren't going to fall of a cliff and they have players like Casemiro, Carvajal and Varane, who aren't old at all. A better goalkeeper like Alisson and new striker like Icardi could be more than enough. And buying for the sake of buying isn't going to help them catch Barcelona. They've been a lot smarter with their signings recently, e.g. Kovacic, Ceballos, Asensio, Theo Hernandez, Vallejo and promoting Hakimi from within. Zidane might have given them the necessary change the squad needs along with just a couple of signings.
Don't think him potentially wanting a move to madrid questions his integrity.
They finished 17 points behind Barca, and dropped out of the cup. Barca will strengthen, their best players are the older ones. I’d say Modric is still the key to them. They need investment.
Let’s get the spurs fan that Matters opinion on the matter
@balaks is he leaving? How would you feel?
@balaks is he leaving? How would you feel?
You can look at it that way, on the other hand, do you not think that with the team needing a rebuild, that he might be a good candidate for that? He has done some very good buying for Spurs in his time there, you don’t think he might be able to identify the players Madrid might need to replace their aging stars?
You asked me for names I gave u names. Was ZZ compromising himself when he went through a shitty league run. Real expect to win La Liga they were mikes off the pace this season.
I agree in the long run he probably would, but how long would the white handkerchief waving Real fans give him?
Modric can still be key to them, even if he's turning 33. Scholes and Carrick weren't bad players at that age either. He has younger players around him and they can easily give him more than enough rest. Your argument makes little sense, since I am not saying that they don't need investment, just not as much, and it might as well be your manager.
If there’s no statement from poch tomorrow then I think he’s gone. You can recover from a player having his head turned, but a manager? No way back.
Also head coach/ manager is different than a player. You can bench a player and discipline him then getting him compromised. You can't suspend your head coach manager and install somebody in his place for some while and hope he would get his act together while you negotiate to extract money. So if Poch gets his head turned, then all these contract penalty fee is moot. Him can't get Tottenham to perform then it's more money than his contract penalty down the drain (CL money, players losing resale price, less players want to join...)

So how come they were 17 points behind Barca? Barca will spend again, they want Neymar do they not he will hardly be peanuts, and that just one signing.
We don’t do statements, he was linked with Munich last week, there was no statement. As I have said, his press conference with Balague to,orrow will be interesting.
Big difference between Bayern and real as far as Poch goes.
Success makes you complacent? Barcelona are a very good team? Zidane resigned, because he couldn't motivate his team as much as he wanted to week in and week out as he could do it for the CL? They were focusing on the CL, once there wasn't a chance of them winning La Liga? Who knows.
They aren't going to get Neymar by the looks of it, but they might get Mbappe, if PSG are genuinely in FFP trouble. What would you do, if you were the manager?
