I honestly don't wish to offend or upset anyone but the only people on here who will be looking like idiots will be anyone who, come the end of the season still thinks Poch will be here next season.

It's completely irrelevant what Poch says regarding his future at Spurs. Completely!

The reason is he has always said that he'd never leave a club by asking for a move, but would let the forces guide him and make the decisions.
If Real came to an agreement with Levy in the summer and pay vast amounts of money in compensation then that'll be the deciding factor. Between Levy and the other club. It's nothing to do with what Poch says or demands as long as Poch is okay with the poaching club.

And if he does leave (which I believe he absolutely will), then I wouldn't ever bad mouth him at all, since he wouldn't have broken any promises. He may say or feel he's in it for the long term but if Levy is okay with him leaving for good money then it's up to Levy, not Poch.

Another reason from a financial point of view when comparing Conte to Poch potentially joining Real : let's say Conte says he wants X players and they all cost a total of 250M.. But Poch says he's either fine with the current Real squad or only wants players totaling 100M, then why wouldn't Real pay the 40M+ Levy would ask to take Poch and bank the remaining 100M? It's a win - win situation for Real!!

It's so obvious that Poch is the perfect man for Real that is amusing that no one else can figure it out.

You are entitled to your opinion regarding this matter which I duly respect. Whilst I totally disagree and find your reasoning deeply flawed I shall not debate the points you made. Time will be the judge. What I would like from you is an admittance of error and an apology to Poch at the beginning of next season....it's the least you can do after making such a bold, and in my view, unfounded statement.
I will do likewise in the unlikely event you are proved correct in your assumption.

Wow, the first decent member out of the lot! Not one insult or belittling like the rest. No childish or petty Emoji. I am impressed!
I'll be happy to apologize if Poch were to stay. Just don't see it happening though.

Alot of negative stuff on here about Poch written without much thought.
Poch and DL are clearly on the same page, yes he wouldn't mind more money to spend, but he is in bedded in the club and is fully aware of the bigger picture of what he is going to be a big part of.
Anyone who thinks he would risk what he has here and what he will have here for a minefield like RM clearly doesnt get what this special man is all about

Someone's just upset they won't be seeing Wiggy doing his over the top goal celebrations at Spurs in the foreseeable future.

There's expressing an opinion with viable logic and backed up arguments and then there's expressing an opinion belittling people talking complete shit.

You fall into the latter category I'm afraid, it's not what you say it's how you say it.

It sounds like he knows the job isn’t done and he’s in the middle part of setting up the club like he says. He knows we aren’t the finished article like we all do. He also knows how hard it is to compete with the money clubs, he’s said we operate on a different level many times.

As far as I’m concerned he doesn’t sound like he’s going to Leave us unless he’s sacked (he’s said this a few times). Obviously nothing is certain in football but he can’t say much more than he has to reassure everyone he’s not going anywhere.

It won’t stop the papers linking him with the Madrid or Man Utd jobs or causing mischief. It’s whether people chose to believe them or the man who has been pretty honest with us up until this point. I know who I believe.

Also I think a lot of fans are deflecting their anger at Levy via Poch...its like they actually want Poch to fall out with Levy.

Very encouraging interview from him and I'm sure it's as much for the players as it is for the fans. I also believe it's what he truly wants. But if Jan comes and goes without a signing I still believe he will look to leave next summer. He wants to win trophies and ideally with us. But if he isn't being backed on all fronts here he will eventually get fed up. It's obviously great to hear him say this but he was never going to leave mid season. I don't really feel much has changed. We all know he loves the club and wants to stay. But he is a professional manager not a fan. As it has been since summer, Levy needs to up his game and give Poch everything he needs to win trophies here.

Fancy a small wager? £10 donation to SC come the first game of next season?

I agree with your assessment that it’s more down to Levy than Poch, but I can’t see Levy pulling the trigger personally.

And I don’t think other people are blind to a potential Poch/Madrid match btw. Just some people are more optimistic than others.

There's really no financial value in Levy agreeing a fee with Real for Poch. What? £4Om to buy out his contract. It's nothing compared to the instability it would bring, and the probable cost of compensating another club to take their manager, too. I don't see any value in it. The only way Poch goes is if he has a heart-to-heart with Levy and tells him it's what he truly wants.

He always talked about his project, in Southampton it was all he was talking about and now with us. Southampton betrayed him when they fired Cortese and decided to use their academy as a gold mine and find cheap talent to stay mid table and sustain themselves that way. If he doesn't get support from Enic to build a team he wants he will leave obviously, why would he stay? If he is feeling positive it's because he thinks he will get money to spend on players he wants.
