The hypocrisy in this post is astounding. You accuse other posters of possessing a sense of entitlement when it is, in fact, you who is the entitled one. Suggesting that it is not possible for United to sign Poch is a not only a falsehood but an incredibly arrogant statement. You don't know anything more about Poch's situation than the rest of us. I doubt the man himself has made up his mind yet.
The only other fan on this board who believes as you do is Glaston and he's the biggest WUM on the forum.
It isn't getting emotive to suggest Tottenham can't compete with United past or present in the hunt for trophies, it's just the truth.
It isn't at all - what you're completely circumnavigating is the fact that there are no stand-out clubs in the Premier League any more - that gap has closed.
If (heaven forbid) Liverpool managed to win the league, there will have been (by the EOS) 4 different PL winners in the last 4 seasons. As a result, the respective top-6 managers know that there are fewer factors involved in winning titles when comparing the clubs. City can spend £200m every window, but it doesn't guarantee them the title as it's not down to resources. Klopp has managed to sort out his squad's weaknesses by means of recycling funds (one Allison and one Van Dijk in exchange for one Coutinho).
Based on pretty much everything he's said on the subject, Pochettino likes to build a squad and bring through club-developed players. People are ignorant to what he is saying and keep retorting that he isn't being given funds and deserves better, even when the man himself says otherwise. So, with that in mind, it's perfectly logical that he would see little benefit in sacrificing 4 years of work just to win a cup with someone else's squad or by simpling spending £300m on players. If he went anywhere else, you can pretty much guarantee he would do exactly the same as he has done at spurs - bin off the big money "stars", then bring through his own breed of players. That'd take another few years. LVG sort-of started this process with players like TFM, Lingaard and Rashford (plus a dozen others), and yet he got the sack (despite still winning a cup).
As much as you might want to disregard the opinions of a Spurs fan, I doubt there are many Man Utd fans who have read his Balague-published diary cover to cover, and read/watched every press conference and interview over the last 4 and a half years, and observed the things he does and says in his job. It's pretty arrogant to turn to someone who has and suggest that they haven't got a pretty good idea of what makes him tick. To suggest otherwise would be to imply that Pochettino is quite the method actor.
So, with all that in mind, what can Man Utd offer Pochettino over what he has now? That's what he would potentially be considering. More importantly, the balance will be "what can't they offer him":
Patience - he is not under pressure at Spurs and won't get the sack for anything but extreme circumstances. If Ole carrys on breaking records and winning games, and still doesn't get the job, he won't be the first Man Utd manager in recent years to have been let go despite success. After all, every one of the post-Fergie managers upto OGS has "won a trophy", but that mean nothing when it came to job security.
Chairman relationship - he values his relationship with his chairman, and had a strong relationship with Cortese at Southampton (regularly tying their destinies together), and speaks publicly (including in said diary-book) about how important his relationship is with DL. I'd be intrigued to hear any evidence of where he would find that at United.
Control/Structure - he openly spoken (with friction in his words) in his first season at Spurs about how he didn't like being "head coach" and not "manager". The result of keeping him happy was essentially Baldini and Mitchell leaving. Would Ed or the Glaziers give him that level of freedom?
You can't keep re-iterating that any and everyone will want to join Man Utd just because you're Man Utd - it doesn't work like that any more.
