The Mauricio Pochettino thread

We won’t sack him now & the hysteria on here is stupid. His first major blip in charge and he will be supported to come through it. Yes the form has been off for a while & playing style needs to change, yes we need to update certain positions but we will support MP as we should.

brilliant - done and dusted.

Judging by JJs latest few tweets he is a massive Poch lover, so I think he’s just on his usual run.

So disappointed at what I’m reading really. The club is ready to throw this season away for fun. And any idiot can see what’s going on at the club.

I'd love to know the tipping point when the situation gets 'really bad'.

I would imagine two things ( not necessarily both of them, but they will inevitably go hand in hand).

1) dropping into the bottom three ( not likely imo despite how shit we are at the moment) and

2) fans at the stadium turning. Yeah there’s been some booing and moaning, but it’s mostly been at HT or FT.

To contrast it with AVB’s time, back then there were boos for his subs, some pretty clear negative chanting from the crowd and some booing during the matches. This simply hasn’t happened yet.

And when the situation is finally, irrevocably bad, the trigger will be pulled. Just after Jose joins the Goons, Allegri goes to Bayern and we're pinning our hopes on Chris Hughton. Who I love but is not what we need when the club is in a flat spin and plummeting to destruction.

It's offensive to call this a blip

and the away fans (really the core in some respects) are massively supportive of Poch
We've always had boo a lot fans at home
This is a big move from Danny boy

We’ve actually been in steady decline since since 16/17 with our point tallies slowly diminishing ever since. This downward curve that has turned into free-fall has been brewing for years.

Poch couldn’t stop the gentle downward curve so what makes people think he’s able to stop free-fall?! It’s beyond me.

Not hysterical, just a fair overview using facts.

JJ is in no mood on twitter lmao. My concern is still that JJ has various sources from both the club and the agent side and it goes without saying he's his own man who has his own opinion but he's pointing out the club is behind Poch. Now you look at what Trix is saying from the player agent side and you're hearing the frustration from that end and when you look at the divide from the various sources you really do begin to understand the mood of the club/team because it's at odds and that must create a tough environment to kick on with.

think it is somewhat answered if JJ is right - Levy is going to back the manager.
Very likely 4+ players out in Jan and probably 2+ in the summer (CE, TA, DR, SA, VW for certain and possibly JV - though i hope not - and maybe ED).
In Jan probably see Jack Clarke brought back and 1-2 purchases in the 20-30 million bracket, younger talent.
Further moves next summer.

It’ll be when the home fans completely turn, no manager survives that.

I’m not talking about a muffled boo at full time, I’m talking proper turning on him.
That’s when the media will pick up on it and it can only be a few bad results away at the most.

Its pretty fucking sad for it to end this way, he deserved success with us for what he did in his first 4 years....not run out of town, but the last 12 months form wise has been dreadful

I fear you're right.

The situation is beyond repair and now we are clearly going to have a protracted situation whereby Poch's standing here is slowly but surely eroded to the point where he's forced out and reputation (to a degree) tarnished.

I find it insulting to be merely dismissed as being entitled that a good few of us are wanting change. This situation happens in football and it'll happen again to any given manager - even your Klopp's and Pep's of this world.

So now we are going to be treated to a slow motion car crash of our season - the "This is fine" meme has never been so appropriate for what's going on right now from a board view.

Staggering that this is the first time I’ve seen journalists really question him

Think we’ve got to bear in mind that Levy struck gold when he appointed Poch. A manager who improved things no end whilst happily to “do things differently” as he and Levy keep saying.

Yeah he might make a few cryptic noises to the press ( although tbh I’ve given up trying to make sense of some of the shit he comes out with), but he’s still seemingly happy not to demand too much.

Don’t think Levy will want to lose that and of course there’s the elephant in the room ; the massive compensation we’ll have to pay since he recently signed a big contract.

I think as long as we don’t drift into the bottom three and there’s still bums on seats in the stadium Levy will be happy to ride it out.

Howe or southgate? I'll pass.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Levy and Poch, the football version of Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn... don’t have a fucking clue what planet they’re on.

 

[yankspurs]

Sad thing is, we know Levy will go back to his circus and not actually hire a manager who will win. He'll go the caretaker route of timmy or harry then hire howe and around and around we go. He knows he can control them and not actually have to invest.

I wouldn't say Matt Law was very reliable about Tottenham this summer, and after transfer window he thought this wasn't good window.

Pochettino signed a five-year contract worth up to £8.5 million a year last May, with sources claiming it would cost chairman Daniel Levy around £12.5 million to sack him.

Isn't that working that if we sack Poch, we are paying his contract until he find another job, not 12.5 mil? Becuase it's pretty obvious he will find new club fast.

 

[felmani26]

Gards saying he's hearing differently to JJ (sad face)....

Could just be a shrewdly inserted get out clause by Levy
