The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Gb160]

And neither will he. It’s what got both Jol and Redknapp the sack in the end. Levy won’t stand for it.

Its all feeling rather familiar.

 

[McFlash]

This is all rather irksome now, and maybe why I've been leaning towards getting used to the idea that him going might be the best thing.
But then, I'm currently flip-flopping like crazy and don't really know what to think.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Would we finally get a cheese room then?

Fuck that, bring back the pukka pies.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

Manage Real? After failing to win trophies and failing to motivate a group of jaded but talented seniors?

?

Context though, context....

Mountain%mole hill from Ricky 'the Brain' Sacks but yeah it doesn't look good at the moment. Sigh.

Still, Colchester is an easy win. Riiiight.....?

 

[McFlash]

Supporting Spurs was so much easier before social media and the constant fucking soundbites and bollocks.

 

[Tyler24durden]

If he goes then let’s bring mourinho in so we can at least win a trophy or two.

That would help change the mentality of the club.

There’s no actual proof that Jose could win trophies with us with Pep and Klopp miles ahead of him these days. It’s a tempting panacea, but it would most likely end in a horrible mess.

The big difference between Klopp and Poch is Poch always leaves the door open when asked about other jobs while Klopp would snap and reject any rumour.

That kind lf commitment rub of on the players and making everyone put in an extra shift.

 

[Lighty64]

We’ve all been saying this for some time now, yet Poch is blind to what a lot of us can see or is too stubborn to go back to this set up. Either way it’s a problem

the thing is at the moment is we don't have a fully fit CDM except for Skipp, and perhaps Poch doesn't feel he is ready for the tough away games just yet so he is using the diamond

 

[Mr Pink]

If Madrid want him this will happen.

I'd be willing to bet that he's been in contact with them for sometime. No wonder he's been affected and doesn't look or sound as committed.

 

[the yid]

Just get use to the fact that all signals pointing in the way of ‘Im off!’. STRICTLY OPINION!!!

CAUTION: This is my own personal opinion

Then kick him and bring in Allegri

 

[Monkey boy]

If you want to go then just go. For a man who prides himself on respect and expects the same back then he’s also very disrespectful to Zidane with these comments.

 

[riggi]

Mourinho at spurs. Oooft that would really make me question going to games.

 

[pablo73]

I'm reluctantly coming to the conclusion that an amicable parting of the ways at this point might be best for all concerned. If Madrid come in for him it could save us an expensive payout a few months down the line. I feel really disloyal saying this but I'm not seeing any signs of any of the issues which have been glaringly obvious for months being addressed.

Nail on head

When was that video taken?

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

At Espanyol? Definitely not.

I don't think he's struggling at all. Teams and people change. The CL final defeat was a much bigger blow to the morale of this club than everyone appreciates... from fans to players to coaches. Either they'll get their taste and their heads back, or they'll have to leave.

We were warned that this was to be a painful transition season. Whether its just players, or management leaving, or just the inconsistency of the performances, we need to tough it out. The time for us to win the league was two seasons back. Man City and Liverpool have put that beyond our squad now, and we need to reset expectations.

Sorry.

'we need to reset expectations'

Been using the same phrase on here for a while.

I think Poch knows CL qual and a domestic pot is the true expectation/ambition of Spurs this season and maybe next.

Whether that really yanks his (or other players) cranks remains to be seen.

 

[shelfboy68]

It’s depressing as you see Liverpool looking so fucking good.

City I couldn’t care else about but Liverpool for fucks sake. We were ahead of them for years.

At the end of the day Klopp has transformed them and sad to say he’s doing a much better job than Poch is. I really don’t see much difference between their starting 11 and ours. Yes they do have players playing at a higher level form wise and better fullbacks and VVD but it’s more than that. Klopp has made an incredibly well oiled machine yet here at spurs we don’t look well oiled at all. Klopp has players playing to their maximum and Poch doesn’t here at Spurs. And why do we have so many unsettled players? I’m not even just talking about ones with contracts finishing. Aurier and Rose want to leave. Wanyama told he has no future. Moura seems to be mismanaged by Poch too if you ask me. What happened to Alli? He’s been mostly useless for nearly two years now.

Ultimately we have fallen short under Poch despite regular top 4 finishes. It was good but never quite good enough. I don’t see why after 5 years of no trophies we now are told we have to be rebuilt and have more transition seasons.

If you think Kane will hang around for that you’re mistaken.

We have allowed them to overtake us no investment for a couple of windows saw to that.

Would he have been so committed if he hadn’t been given any new players for 18 months or the ones he didn’t want weren’t moved on, though?

There’s no doubt Poch has turned down loads of offers in his six years here. Life is short and about seeking new challenges and he may just not be feeling that same passion and satisfaction he once did. You can’t fake that sort of thing if you’re a genuine person like he is.

Whatever happens in the future I’ll never doubt his calibre as a man.
