Poor Pochettino. If he had any idea that Zizou would quit, he wouldn't have signed that contract so soon
A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino
- Thread starter NotBrendanRodgers honest
- Start date
I don't know mate but I wouldn't rule it out.
Who knows? The way I see it is that IF Perez seriously wants him then Pochettino isn’t going to turn down the biggest club in the world.
Similar culture. Same language. Has lived in Spain before. Huge contract. Win-win situation -- if it doesn't work out he can always get another top job as it's Real Madrid. That's off the top of my head.
I think he wants it and I think they'll try to get him, Levy will resist at all costs but Poch can force it through. It's one thing if a player kicks up a fuss because ultimately you have a full squad to cover them but if the manager genuinely wants to leave and causes problems it's another story.
This. Clubs can maybe force players to see out their contracts by threatening to bench them.
Managers?
They are already on the benchRemember what happened to Silva at Watford. When you keep a manager against his will - it can have grave consequences.

Managers?
It would basically go against everything Poch has said, and I honestly don't see him doing that, just my opinion. It would cost Madrid £30M to buy out his contract and why would he sign on for another 5 and a half years. OF course I could be wrong and he goes but right now I'm pretty confident, also he is a really bad fit for Madrid.
I don’t disagree with that - I just think that the allure of Real Madrid is hard to turn down for anyone.

Managers?
Yeah how will a club be able to hold on to a manager if he wants to leave? If Madrid push hard, they will be forced to let him go.Totally agree he’s a bad fit, he never wins anythign
They should go after Jose, doesn't Perez love him?
Klopp is where its at.
He does. Then Poch to us. You lose anyway.
If they offer us Cristiano for Jose.
That would be fun.
It’s a win-win situion if Real go for him.
Succeed and he’ll fulfil his dreams. Fail and he’ll be out just in time for a PSG return after they’ve spat Tuchel back out or when we’re done with Mou.

I don’t see any other club legend that can take over, so it’s safe to say that what ever problems Poch would face (because he isn’t a club legend) any manager their appoint will face them.
Zidane is gone, whoever is going to take over will have a tough time handling those egos, so we can’t really use that as a reason why Poch wouldn’t get the job.
So if Poch isn’t qualified for the job, who is?
Raul? He’s the only one the fans will give a little time to?
Someone who’s won some trophies?
Pochettino wants to manage in the new stadium. You can safely rule him out of the Madrid job.
Comparing Moyes to Wenger is just proposterpus. I do think whoever takes this job has a near impossible task as they will have to go about the transition of that team coming to its end, replacing Ronaldo so pretty hapless task so maybe a fall guy would be a good idea.
Someone just had to throw Sam Allardyce in to the mix. I swear the guy gets mentioned for literally every job going.
Is he declining as a manager? Probably the worst form I've ever seen Spurs in, they haven't convinced me in any of their matches this season. He had some terrible in-game decisions, plays a diamond, which doesn't suit them at all, makes same mistakes over and over again. .
A bit offtopic - If Lukaku scores an open goal at 0-0 we would have won that match I'm 100% sure now.

How does one answer this?
Will be his toughest season as Spurs, relative to expectation. Their summer business was a disgrace .
Perfect for United. What’s not to like?
I think Poch and tottenham are hiding behind that. We only signed three players, but none of them have played in our most impressive spell this season - I know it's only two games.
Spurs look shattered already and we are only in September, that not buying anyone in the summer is probably going to come back to hurt them, probably is going to be Poch’s toughest season but still would like to see a Poch United when he is handed some serious funds.
Too early to say that. We haven't actually climbed above them on the table. I expect we would at some point but not spending a dime was huge.
Love taking piss out of Pochettini because he's massively overrated but this season he's absolved for me* as he got massively fecked by Levy and Spuds' underspending.
(*until I decide otherwise and take piss out of him again)

3 defeats in a row, and the hype bandwagon has ever so slightly calmed down.
I think you are right
There's nothing to hide behind. Their midfield was looking dodgy for spells last season. It's not even like they were the best team last season. You talk about our best spell not having our signings. We are still behind them. Don't think the two are related. Of course the players they have can play better but this is what happens when you barely improve your squad season after season.
Think he's cracked, what was all that bovine train timetable guff he was spewing at his presser?
They've cocked pre-season up one way or another. Overtrained, undertrained, not rested, I don't know but they all look knackered. Odd as obtaining work-rate is Poch's speciality, but I'm sure he'll learn and get it right next time.
Levy deserves this, the smug prick. Hope their poor form continues.
Seriously overrated. Spurs peaked in his 2nd year, so how is he any different from other short term managers? oh thats right he wins feck all because he's tactically limited and takes an age to make substitutions that most people can see were needed.
There is growing evidence that he isnt some miracle worker. He can set up a team to attack but so can 30 other top managers. He doesnt have that x factor (still a good manager mind you, but thats about it.)

Maybe at least people will stop using them not spending at all in summer as an excuse for what we also did. People kept banging on Poch doing a great job even though he didn't get any signings.
You have a terrible window and you get this.

The club and the coach are terribly overrated. As long as they celebrate single wins like the one against Real Madrid at Wembley last season (watch how their form dipped afterwards) or the one over United at Old Trafford this season (lost all games since then) like trophies they will never win titles. They think they have accomplished something when the truth is they couldn't even beat Leicester in a title race... And does anyone know when Kane will return from his holidays?
