Yes the fans may well fall in love with him but the big question is will Danny boy,Lewis & co

Poch will be fine as long as he:
A) Gets the team playing nice football.
B) Has a plan B.
C) Doesn't fall out with any expensive players.
D) Shows a bit of class and discretion in front of the media.

I'm hoping he can do all this and finish in the top six in his first season. I seriously doubt Levy or the board will expect anything more or less.

1. Always nice
2. From what I saw at Southampton of him he has a good few plans.
3. The only one I see him having problems with is Ade... Bobby may if he doesn't get him firing * shrugs*
4. Seemed very classy in any and all instances we have seen him in the media over here during his Southampton reign.

So all in all I think you will be happy if that's all you want xD

It could be the same Ali Gold who asked me about sports journalistic job opportunities in Canada about 9 or 10 years ago.

Let's see a game or two first er'?
Well really the only one point that's made that requires any playing time to see is playing nice football. But that's his style anyway.
I was only joking around
But the questions asked doesn't actually require much than we already know about him.

He felt he could keep Osvaldo in line. Ade should really be a doddle by comparison.

A) I'm not bothered if we have to take the bus away to the better sides and are disliked because of that.
B) Yes a plan B would be nice
C) I'm not bothered if he upsets the stars if they are not performing
D) It would be a shame, but if he refuses to speak English to the fans, then I guess that is not the most important thing.
E) If 6th is now the limit, then I'm not that bothered if we finish 6th or 16th.
F) A nice long run in the europa for our B team would be nice but not essential - it may be our last visit for quite a while.

I only demand that he straightens the record against arsenal and stops the other humiliations. That he restores some pride, which to be fair is exactly what he agreed was the priority in his interview.

A) will cause a divide I think.
D) he speaks English well he won't be using a interpreter with us. It was very clever with buying him time to formulate decent answers if needed and to 100% make sure he wasn't being misunderstood.
E) is harsh he was only saying for his first season implementing his ideas and who knows what else could happen over the summer to sort out that 6th would be acceptable as a first season.
F) silly

Argentinian ex player and manager backs fellow Argentinian
to do well at Spurs shock.
Looking forward to the excitement of a new season.
Not for us the boring predictability of a set of known knowns.
We are Spurs and prefer the excitement of a whole new set
of known unknowns and probably a few unknown unknowns.
At least the squad seems settled (ish).
Good luck Poch. Here's to the first five years.
