The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[freeeki]

9 days left.

We’ve done fuck all.

We’ve sold no one, we’ve signed no one. Fuck all.

A few first teamers and the reserves are in America, while the rest of the squad recovers from the World Cup. By the time they’ve recovered, the season will be starting, so they’ll have no pre season.

Anyone we sign at this late stage will have no pre-season with us.

And yet, we’ve done fuck all. But some people on here *still* don’t see why many of us are just a little bit concerned.

Levy literally has 9 days left to salvage not only our upcoming season, but also to safeguard the relationship with Pochettino.

Given his form in these matters, I have little to no faith in the penny pinching slapheaded dwarf twat, and I fully expect Poch to be off.

It really would be absolute suicide by Levy not to back Poch at this time and any one that can't see the effect it would have on him the players perception of where the club is heading must have their head up they're own or Levys anus.. There's no doubt looking at it that there does seem to be issues with deals else where in the league. He really needs to get his finger out and pull off a spectacular 10 days. It's scary how much rides on these remaining days.

In a year we could be back to square one, if Poch walks. Old Tottenham is starting to rear it’s ugly head again...

 

[freeeki]

However thank you as ever for the info @Hercules and I hope your optimism is rewarded by the time the window closes.

Poch's own fault for signing the contract before the window closed like a noob. Given assurances just like avb and paulhino of all people were given assurances that bale will not be sold.

Suckers!

I think it was a bit unfair for DC to put this back on Poch. She never should have spoken on his behalf. Not a particularly savvy communication move.

It was a deliberate political move by her!

 

[buttons]

His contract would of been worded to allow him to walk if not being backed. That I can assure you

Im intrigued how you work that into a contract, sounds incredibly subjective!

 

[George94]

FWIW, I honestly expect 3!!!

The political RISKS are too high!!!

Poch was given ASSURANCES

And I believe the club will have to eat humble pie

*Edited* THE RISK IF WE DO NOT COMPLY IS LOOSE POCH 12 MONTHS TIME. Don’t talk to me about his contract

PS: Please nobody come with ‘sell cirst’ FFS

I'm not sure any of you can honestly read this and not be worried that if we don't back Poch this window he'll be off at the end of the season.

All very well bringing in 3 players but if it's just bang average shit going cheap then what's the point.

We need to get our shit together.

Not subjective at all!!!
Some things best not to elaborated on.

If this is the case that's really poor. Cullen and Levy are playing silly buggers with the best moment in recent history for Tottenham. They are playing with fire and I honestly thought they were smarter than that, especially Levy

I hope everyone is pulling in the same direction. Sounding awfully like the Sherwood/AVB years. Also I find it strange that we're not looking at young up and coming youth regardless of first team signings. We've always made signings like this in recent years, I feel that our scouting system seems to not be working.

Y tho Donna? Poch has said nothing critical of DL to the media.



All this is doing me a frighten.

I said ‘fasten your seatbelts’

More like hide behind the couch tbf, mate.

Will end in tears then imo, unbelievable really.

 

[cjbyid]

9 days to go and we're in this position. Crazy. Not suprised though, this is Tottenham after all.

Levy has to pull something out of the bag big time or it'll all implode, if it already hasn't judging by this place

 

[St José Dominguez]

She'll probably be manager by Xmas.

 

[Joshua]

Just want this window to close now. Deep down we all know how it ends. We've been frustrated and let down in the past but with the stakes so much higher this time around it's near enough sickening. Would love to be surprised over the next 9 days but I just don't see it happening. Ready for the disappointment.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

It doesn’t end with Poch being annoyed either. All those players that signed new contracts were committing on the notion that the project is on course, with Poch at the helm.

 

[Spurs 1961]

Very worried that the warnings of a bumpy ride refer to the potential fallout from a failed transfer window. Beginning with Poch we could see what has been painstakingly built fall like a house of cards. Poch I can't see ever being happy with the club just treading water; for him there must be progression. If others progress more then so be it, he can't influence that, but I suspect he will not accept improvement.
