That is a clear vote of confidence buried in the general garbage.Tottenham chairman still backing head coach Mauricio Pochettino
Shouldn't be long now then....

But not as easy as writing it mate.We should be in for Bony.. £19 million buyout apparently, It's a no brainer!
We should sell 6-7 squad players and buy quality in Schneirderlin, Bony, Konoplyanka and De Bruyne for example.
Schneiderlin - £24, Bony £19 and De Bruyne £20 equals £63 million
Paulinho - £8, Townsend £12, Dembele - £12, Soldado £10, Chiriches, £7, Naughton £6 = £55 million
How hard can this be, We would be genuine Top 4 contenders but Levy and Baldini are stubborn.
I think our Club biggest problem isnt the scouting, the players or even the transfer strategy
Our biggest problem is the expectation. We seem to refuse to accept that the team can be in transition . We want immediate results. Look at AVB ..sack after 1 year with a brand new team. Poch getting a lot of flak now for the same reason. Some how the supporters are unable to accept that it takes time for a team to gel and perform or get use to a new boss' idea
No matter how good our scouting is, if the players are not given time it would be hard for them to blossom. Bale was almost sold. Modric was getting stick for ages
I think once we come to terms that we are no longer one of the elites and are able to accept we are one of the chasing bunch, all our plans might actually have time to come to fruitation

Until another sacking, another search for the next big thing who'll have 4 or 5 months before they start getting stick?That is a clear vote of confidence buried in the general garbage.

Essentially change his role from first team coach to manager?1. Sack Baldini
2.Hire a Chief Exec to shmooze the agents.
3. Give Poch full control of transfers.
4. Allow Poch to hire some scouts.
Fair enough. I still hold hope for the 7 signings (maybe except Chiriches and Paulinho probably has to leave because he's been scapegoated and hated by fans) so I don't get too involved with the Baldini Out stuff.
Southampton have the best scouting system in the premiership if not the whole of Europe, never ending production line of incredible talents, we should get Poch to have a word in the Saints scouts ears and tempt them to spurs on triple their current wages

It's crazy that we've been saying on here for years and years that our scouting is awful and needs improvingyet they are only now talking about improving it.
I suppose at least they are thinking about doing it. If the article is true of course.
How so?
They get a lot of their youngsters from their large catchment area, being the biggest of the local clubs including Bournemouth and now that Portsmouth are a joke, and didn't Koeman manage Pelle at Feyenoord? I think you can get caught up a bit in the whole 'Southampton are a lesson to us all' hulabaloo.

Surely we have a larger catchment area?
Veljokivic, Bentaleb, Ceballos and Coulibaly might sound like they're from London, but they're not
Saints have found the likes of Bale, Walcott, Chambers, Shaw, Ox to name but a tiny handful over recent years
How many of our home grown talents have gone on to be huge successes? Judas and King thats about it
Saints scouts, catchment area or not, are amazing spotters of talent
Nah but we're competing with umpteen other clubs, if kids don't like the cut of our jib, they go to the Goons, Chavs, Spam, Palace, Charlton, Millwall, QPR etc etc amen.
If you're on the south coast and don't really fancy it at SCBC then you get on the first boat to the Isle of Wight?
What I meant is they have more of a pull over local talent than we do if you get me (maybe we have more chance now with the monster of a training ground), seeing as they are the only local top division club. Jury is out for me on some of their signings, worryingly the ones that Poch made when he was there.
Foreign isn't always best my man.
