I haven't encountered anyone comparing Poch and Avb. In fact there are loads of posts on the FDB thread saying that hiring FDB will be a big mistake since apparently they both play the same boring formation when in fact FDB plays 4-3-3 and AVB played 4-2-3-1 last season. People are using the AVB experience to discourage FDB's hiring in spite of the various differences in their style of play.

It's not to do with the formation. It's that FdB's teams are quite slow-paced in possession and don't have the purposefulness of Poch's ones.

No.
I'm getting the exact same feeling I did with AVB and it wasn't good.
This has disaster written all over it and I've been saying it ever since we were linked with Pochettino.
Woah.

Someone ring Levy, this is big. Cancel everything!
The exact same feeling you say?
And from then on you just knew it wouldn't work out?

I say Mystic Meg should watch out, there's a new guy in town.
Truly remarkable.

We'll see inside 18 months when Poch looks more and more dishevelled week after week, we all end up more and more baffled, the media get on his back and the inevitable happens.

Picking a winning manager surely has lower odds than picking a winning lotto ticket. You only need one person instead of six for a start.

Can people who are comparing poch to avb, please explain why?
Because watching poch's Southampton play compared to avb's I can't for the life of me see anything similar whatsoever

It seems to be a way of criticising Pochettino without any real basis in fact.

Yeah, AVB was an utter disaster in his first season when he guided us to a point off 4th. Wasn't the right man for us in the end but 'disaster' is just looking at it without any perspective.

Surely the fact that the club is not whoring this all across the media is a good thing, I suspect Daniel Levy has done everything by the book and approached Southampton in a professional businesslike manner and I also suspect that we are holding back any announcement in agreement with Southampton whilst they do the same thing to get their new manager.
Whether we want an announcement or not is irelevant, that the club handles itself with integrity is! I'd have thought that was the case anyway.

If anyone has time they should read a few articles in Poch like I did. I'll admit that I was quite anti-Poch in the past and I think I made some stupid comments a few weeks/months ago that I regret but doing your research like I did really helps (y)
Exactly this for me..(y)

Relentless doom mongering with the intent of saying I told you so.

There are a massive swathe of snipey old fishwives on here. Just try, TRY and see the positive in this, at least until the moment it goes wrong & then you can tell everyone how you knew it all along.

I'm just excited for us to get a new manager, and a competent one at that. I am sick of looking back at games and thinking that we lost due to poor tactics, poor players selection, or having unmotivated individuals on the pitch. I will be happy to once again be able to look at games and think that we simply lost to a better side, if and when losses happen.

I think anyone that ends up getting the job (Pochettino or FDB) will be a step in the right direction. My apprehension towards a Pochettino appointment has lessened to a great degree. I just want either of these two to come in, as they have both shown evidence of getting a team to perform, at a minimum, to their expected level. The sooner an announcement is made, the better.
