I don't. We're sitting in 8th, behind clubs who have sacked their managers mid-season. There's been zero progress made on the pitch in his time here.
Journalist/pundit/podcaster who works for Le Parisien. Okay-ish in terms of transfer reliability, but not sure how consistently proven he is with manager appointment predictions, especially if he doesn't have direct connections or sources (like he seemingly does with say Paris Saint-Germain). That Pochettino quote is from this segment:
What makes you say this so confidently? He literally got to the CL final last year with zero transfer budget the summer beforehand. Did anyone ever think Spurs would get there before him?
For how good his team has been, what else has he achieved?
Why is his team quality being used against him? He didn't inherit it, he built it himself, by acquiring young talent and improving his players. There's a difference. He instilled a confident aggressive mentality in his young players. They were coached well.
Yes, I agree he has done really well looking back at the quality of players he has had. Especially his Southampton players and I believe his Tottenham squad would have been broken apart had Daniel Levy been more open to selling some of his players however he created a good harmony and none of them really wanted to ditch his vision.
He got to spend over 100m every summer, and I believe he actually outspent us in the last one. Top 4 finishes are well and fine, and a marginal improvement over our current manager, but why not actually go for a title winning manager instead? There are also better, younger, more dynamic choices if those are the qualities people love about him.
You're not making much sense here. Poch is a modern manager who has managed at this level... If not Poch, who else is available that is a better option than him?
No no, I am just unsure about him. There are many points I like about him but points I am unsure about. He is, I believe, the best of the crop of managers that are available.
Motivation is the key at the top and he's proven to be an excellent leader, who coaches his players well. I see no reason to think why he isn't capable of going on to win the top trophies in the future with more resources. If we waste too much time and Pep leaves, I can see them going for him for sure.
Oh okay fair enough.
We’ve already tried going down the winners route, remember? I think there’s very few who fit your description of having won something at a big club and also considered to be a “modern” manager. And there’s no way two of them would ever manage us.
.The fact that Spurs don't have a model footballing structure either (although still better than us) actually works in his favour coming here, where the odds of hiring of DoF have dropped everyday since Jose was sacked.Could you imagine Pochettino with United transfer budget? With United youth players and academy?
No way that Pochettino does worse at United than he did at Spurs, which means that United will be back to where they should be and probably in our first champions league final since Ferguson retired.
Here we go again, blame the players for the poor results and praise Ole for the good ones. When we were doing well against the top six wasn't he using the same squad of overpaid underachievers? I'd grant you the improving players bit but do you realize that Matic is a two time PL Champion, Mata won the CL and Fred was signed for 50m because of what he did in the CL? At the end of the day its results that matter and he hasn't brought them.
Well I've got reservations about him as well but this is all completely untrue. The only season Spurs have spent £100m+ while Poch was there was 17/18 (£112.5m gross; only £24.75 net though). In 18/19 they spent nothing at all.
Apart from that? that is everything in football. It is managing and coaching the squad and he is nowhere near good in that aspect. He is one the worse in the club's history.
