Redknapp was more astute tactically than he liked people to believe, all this "just run around and enjoy yourself" stuff he dished out to the press is part of how he works.Pochettino is the most realistic option available to us. Everyone seems to think that we're entitled to some coach with 'pedigree' but lets be honest, what have we achieved recently that would really attract such a coach to the Lane? The top coaches go to the top clubs or clubs that they can see themselves realistically achieving something with.
We, with our recent illustrious record of managers and footballing achievement, cannot offer either of those things. As fans we'd do well to remember that we've only been in the CL once since its inception and consequently have no divine right to expect a manager with CL pedigree to rush to take over.
The more I think about it, the more I think Pochettino would fit in with us. He's worked under a demanding chairman before, is willing to promote the youth, has PL experience and most importantly has proven that he can make the best with what he has. As a selling club that's really as good as we're going to get. And who's to say he won't be successful with us? Harry Redknapp wasn't exactly a tactical genius but did well enough to get us in the CL and secure finishes of 4th 5th and 4th (not to mention orchestrating serious damage control following his take over). Let's not overestimate just where we stand and be realistic for a change shall we?
Yeap, my money is also literally on Poch and looking quite good now. As for who I want, this season seems to have drained me of all remaining positivity about THFC, so have decided i don't give a monkeys and will just try and make some money on it, hence rooting for Poch to get the job. Maybe I'll perk up in the summer.I want Van Gaal but I don't think its going to happen.
My money is on Pochettino (literally) but can't say its one that excites me. Just feels like Ramos all over again.
I think people are assuming if he finishes 3rd in the league and dumped out by Bayern, he will be jobless in months time. The history of Madrid suggests thatWhy would Ancelotti move from RM to a team like Manure with no UCL ?
I think after the AVB calamity and the TS Tragedy, we are all pinning our hopes on the next manager to be our "knight in shining armour". For me, Pochettino has done wonders at Soton, but I'm afraid he lacks Pedigree. We need a more experienced campaigner, someone who can turn our fortunes against the bigger teams like, heaven knows that's our weakness.

He will follow the money I'm afraid. ('Nothing personal. It's just business'). We will be in a better place (sic) when we have the new ground and bigger revenues. If Sherwood has to go (it would be interesting to see fans' coping strategies if he doesn't), then someone polite, self-possessed, calm and intelligent who can play stylish football would be ideal. Martinez won't come, alas, he seems to have too much dignity to jump ship, and good on him. But if there was faint, absurdly distant shot of getting Ancelotti, that would seem attractive. But again, we may have to settle for Sherwood.
Hmm Laudrup would seem to fulfil those critera.

No manager has a long term future at RM so maybe he just likes the thought of managing another of the giants of world football history and likes the epl(?)Why would Ancelotti move from RM to a team like Manure with no UCL ?

If we got Poch maybe we would have a good chance of getting Lallana! I love midfielders who can pass in and around the box and shoot. We don't have enough. I'll give you Erikson, who else?
