In the light of the Fat Sam dirty dealings/entrapment story and the whispers of other managers up to the same shenanigans, let me ask you this. What would Pochettino have to do away from the day to day football business for you to accept that he was sacked. I'm not saying he's involved in all this, think he's far too focussed and ambitious for the football itself, but hypothetically if it was, would you turn a blind eye? What about a Pleat-style kerb-crawling incident? An extreme view on disabled people and their past lives?

I think he's doing such a great job at the moment we'd let him away with murder. Although, not literally, surely?

*sits back and waits for the inevitable panic replies and neg rep for wanting Poch out even though that has nothing to do with the thread*

So if he blasphemed you'd want rid? To be fair I thought the bar would be set a little higher...

I'd definitely keep him if that happened, we all know the alternative...

Something to do with robbing my grandma, otherwise he is fine by me.

Anything that isn't illegal would definitely be fine by me, even if it was something which was generally accepted as unethical and a dick move.

In terms of illegal - any kind of fraud (eg money laundering) would need to lead to dismissal (although he'd probably be going to jail for that which kind of renders fans' feelings about it null and void). Same applies to aggravated assault and theft. Anything along the lines of what Adam Johnson did would genuinely upset me as it would stain our club forever. Anything definitely breaching the Bribery Act (even if it was not connected to the team's performances) would mean he had to go too.

If it was low-level tax evasion I could probably make peace with it. As I could with him simply punching someone if provoked a la John Prescott.

As long as he's getting results and not breaking the law, I don't really care about any possible 'dirt',

Crocs.
If he was ever pictured wearing crocs he'd be dead to me, I could learn to live with bribery, corruption, etc, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

If I found out that he ghost wrote the Phantom menace (or Snubbed Chewbacca after Han died)

I'd draw the line at Paolo Di Canio style shenanigans. Although I suppose Peronism would be rather more socially acceptable than yearning for il Duce.

I'm probably aiming more at tabloid level dirt rather than going the Adam Johnson route! You could never accept that sort of accusation for the Manager of a North London club. Anyway...

If it came out that he was responsible for 9/11 and the Holocaust, then I think he should get a touchline ban for a couple of games.

Him using a different Pose when a player signs a New contract.

Or signing a bunch of players who didn't even make the bench at everton or blackburn and having them in the starting XI suddenly.

In terms of 'tabloid-level stuff' as @Dougal puts it - I'd be ok with just about anything. But then I genuinely don't think Allardyce had to go (and I don't like Allardyce).

if he ran off with Archibald&Crooks missus, would show a real lack in judgement and would have to go
(sorry A&C hope am not banned)
