One - how much trust do you think the board would give Poch if he wasn't winning games ? The same as they've given every other manager as soon as fans start singing they want their tottenham back.
Two - He had the same backing and love from board and fans at Southampton for his philosophy and soon jumped ship when we came knocking.
Three - From everything I've read about Poch he's an incredibly driven and ambitious man.
Southampton sold all his good players. Not much point in staying there as he would just have to rebuild every summer.
Also if Pochettino is truly ambitious and confident in his ability he will realise that he is very young for a manager. He could spend 10 years at spurs and still only be reaching his managerial prime, and have another couple of massive dynasties afterwards.
Someone who jumps ship from a good thing at the first available offer is someone who doesn't believe he will ever get a big offer again, and has to take this one chance as it is once in a lifetime. I don't think Pochettino is that person, I think he believes in himself. If he builds something great at spurs, he'll be able to write his own cheque at any club he wants, Barcelona, Munich etc. Leaving now would be weak.
