The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Chris Finch]

Bigger than winning it with us?

I doubt it.

What difference does that make?

Winning it with us is a million times more of an achievement that winning it with juventus.

Its also worth considering if Juve would actually want Poch? They've spent a LOT of money on building this squad, not to mention on a certain CR7. Poch for all his brilliance isn't a proven winner and surely that's who they would want. Thinks someone like Jose would be more likely, won CL with a relatively poor Inter side and wouldn't cost anything as he is out of work..!

Or am I just clutching at straws?

Mourinho does make sense. There aren't a lot of obvious candidates to be honest.

True.....but winning with us or not doesn't mean it wouldn't be a huge deal winning it with Juve which was my point.

Even if the media link him, who cares.

It won’t affect him or the players

He isn’t Redknapp

 

[Gspurs11]

This has obviously been on the cards for a while and there’s no way all potential candidates for the Juve job haven’t been contacted in advance. Reckon it’ll be Mourinho or Wenger...

It’ll be fine

In many ways, where Allegri ends up could be more of a concern than who replaces him. I wouldn't want him at any of our rivals, and there's a good chance Chelsea and Utd will be in the market by Xmas.

I’m less concerned, every time we’ve faced an Allegri side I’ve wondered what the fuss is about. He got lucky in last year’s tie v us.

Absolutely agree with this.

He made a game changing double sub at Wembley to be fair.

I’m not saying he’s a bad manger, just don’t see what the fuss quite is.

Steve McLaren made game changing subs constantly en route to the uefa cup final with Middlesbrough. Obviously Allegri is a far better manager than McLaren, he’s a very good manager, but I haven’t ever watched an Allegri side and thought ‘wow’.

 

[Carson35]

Thought Conte was going back there?

Conte going to Inter, unless if he changes his mind and u-turn

 

[Dillspur]

I'm sure Poch would love running potential signings by Ronaldo for his approval

PANNNICCCCCCC OMG OMG OMG

 

[Montalbano]

Let the hysteria begin

 

[SpartanSpur]

Lot of Juve fans on twitter desperate for Poch (at least that's what the translate option says). Weird seeing it with our manager instead of a player!

 

[Shadydan]

PANNNICCCCCCC OMG OMG OMG

Doesn't take much does it

 

[carmeldevil]

If he leaves, does he have to return the Bentley ?

Mauricio Pochettino has been given a suspended one-game touchline ban by UEFA after Tottenham's late kick-off against Ajax in the Champions League.

UEFA hold both managers responsible for late kick-offs, whatever the circumstances. Even though the game was played at Tottenham's stadium on April 30, Ajax boss Erik ten Hag received a warning as it was his first offence.

However, as this is Spurs' second offence after a group game kicked off late, Pochettino was handed a one-match ban, which has been suspended for a year.

That means that the Argentine is free to be on the touchline for the Champions League final when Tottenham take on Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.

A statement by UEFA read, in relation to article 11 of their rules: "The Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has decided to fine Tottenham Hotspur FC €10,000 for the late kick-off, to suspend the Tottenham Hotspur FC coach Mauricio Pochettino for one UEFA competition match in which he would otherwise participate, for the late kick-off.

"The suspension is deferred for a probation period of one year. Therefore, the coach is currently not suspended for any UEFA competition matches."

Dodged getting banned for the final.
