Really want to hear from @Hercules to calm everyone down...or make everyone lose their shit even more
The good thing is this could hugely work in our favour or hugely against us
At this point I imagine the only people who genuinely have any idea of what is going on are Perez, Poch, and Levy. Obviously Perez has briefed his people to 'spread the word' and Levy has briefed his people to 'stop the misinformation' and that's about it.Really want to hear from @Hercules to calm everyone down...or make everyone lose their shit even more
How do some of you get through a day?!
They use these tactics when its a 20-25 year old footballer with an agent yapping in his ear...Poch is a 45? year old man with no agent who knows exactly how the Spanish media and Real Madrid work.We're only hours in, this is going to continue nonstop until the matter is settled one way or another. Madrid uses relentless media campaigns to unsettle their targets, it's the same thing that happened with Modric, Bale, and every other player they've ever wanted.
Hopefully. Really cant see what the appeal of RM would be for Pochettino. Would they allow him to build a squad without Ronaldo and other superstars if they are the ones upsetting the equilibrium of the team?The media are just casting about for hits. Calm your ovaries everyone. It'll be Conte or Wenger.
He’s posted in the daily thread.Really want to hear from @Hercules to calm everyone down...or make everyone lose their shit even more
Neither Levy nor Poch comment every time that Poch or a player is linked with a move away from the club.This is what’s worrying me, the silence is deafening. If Poch is true to his word I am sure he will stay with no real issue, my problem is this is Real we are talking about, he is Espanyol through and through and would relish the chance to put Barca back down the league. But then again Madrid is going to be a complete rebuild in the next 2-3 years which won’t be easy... to conclude I have no idea what to think. We need something from Poch or the club.

Spanish media really pushing this
Paella fuckers
The spanish media is pretty quiet on it, its the Marca that doing it. Namely Madrid's mouthpiece. It indicates they do want him.
Also Paella is really a Valencian delicacy and is not something typical of Madrid or Spain. I think Spanish Omelette fuckers, or Tortilla de Patatas fuckers, would be a much more authentic and cultural conscious insult.
Undoubtedly yes. IF Pochettino wanted to leave, and Madrid wanted to pay enough for it, he'd go. End of story, good night. Do I believe they would offer said sum, not really. But that's only one of two intertwined points. People seem to think that Pochettino will stay because his latest contract is so fresh. That there is some magic timeline that will stir all these fuzzy feelings in the sentimental, cuddly bear buddy Pochettino. There is not. That's just all in our heads. Supposedly, the new contract shows a different commitment to the club now than a couple of weeks ago. It's not the case. The new contract shows that Levy was prepared to pay Pochettino more for his services. That's it. Fans' perceptions are guided by emotions, as they should be. We have nothing but emotions invested. Directors, players and managers are not primarily driven in their decision making by emotions. Maybe they should be? Therein lies the big difference between what fans think, and what actual stake holders in fact do.Do you really believe that there's a sum that Madrid could offer that would make sense to Levy?
Just as a fun little 'scenario game'...
Would you allow Poch to go to Madrid if it meant Bale coming back to us?
I am fully aware this is anything but a fun scenario to discuss
Can a man called Miguel Delaney be taken seriously in a situation such as this?
Imagine being a football journalist and typing the phrase "informal agreement with Daniel Levy" in earnest. How do these people think our chairman operates, anyway?
FWIW, I don't think he'll leave, but if he does, so be it. It would definitely hurt our progress, but no one's bigger than the club, the manager included.
