So much for press spin and fan panic.

They can now focus their panic on the stadium not being ready in time.

Fantastisch

Great news. Puts to bed all the crap the media were putting about him going to Chelski. Five more years of the same please Poch with a few trophies thrown in.

 

[Chris_D]

Wonderful news. As a huge Poch fan I think we need to give this guy total control so I'm hoping it also means DL has approved his summer plans and that we'll get and keep the players Poch wants.

 

[greywizard2020]

Good news all round. The signing of a new contract following his end of season statement, must surely mean that the plans he had in mind are going to be backed. Up until that point I was more than a little downbeat, however, that gem of hope of what the gaffer envisions has me being all hopeful again.

Next season has to entail serious pushes on all fronts, so lets get the right signings in & have a truly competitive squad that can challenge.

But people said he could earn more elsewhere.

I'm not sure this is true.

Poch really is Levy’s slutty little girlfriend. He can’t say no to him.

 

[spud]

Great news. In fact, fantastic news.

(But terrible Photoshop in the picture of Poch and Levy on the OS.)

Poch really is Levy’s slutty little girlfriend. He can’t say no to him.

I'd say it's the other way around actually. I don't think any of other past managers could have got Levy to pay out 30 million for Sissoko. OK it didn't work out but that just shows how much confidence Levy has in Poch.

Who can't say no to who? Could go either way that analogy.

That’s what I meant. Levy can’t get enough of him. And he can get him to do things previous managers can’t. Coz poch is a slut. He puts out ?

Fkin TS this afternoon, the announcement was made and what does that #### DG say? Got to win trophies now or they have to sack him.
Those twats just cannot be positive about fkin anything.
Never a good word to say about anything.
Should change name to Talk Doom.
When the news was read out they managed to sneak in 'Poch was linked to Chelsea and Real Madrid.'
Yeah, by you ya fkers. Neitber of which moves were ever gonna happen.
Really wish I could kick that fkin shite station once and for all but like a junkie I keep going back

A lot of people forget this, but I didn't. Within a couple of weeks, I think, of Pochettino arriving, we had ITK from a reputable source that Levy had finally found The Guy. It went under the radar, because people were cynical after so much managerial turnover. But it ws a definite "finally he has the right man" bit of ITK. I can't recall who it was.

It's plain that the tension and competitiveness between Levy and previous managers just isn't there with Pochettino. He trusts him. They have a relaxed working relationship. That manifests itself in their willingness to take a steer from each other.

That means that Pochettino doesn't distrust Levy and think he's having his career stifled when he has the financial limitations of the club explained to him. And it means that Levy doesn't think Pochettino is making unreasonable demands when he states that a 21 year old defender from Colombia is worth £40m+ (a much better example than Sissoko).

When you trust your right-hand man, you let him exercise leadership, because you understand that he is not a threat to you. When you're the right-hand man and you trust your chief executive, you are willing to take limits and orders, because you understand that you are not being forced to abide by arbitrary and wilful limitations.

We all got frustrated, to the point of foaming at the mouth, by the constant, disruptive managerial changes between 2001 and 2014. There were successes and failures and, in my view, way too many premature terminations, but the underlying theme was that Levy hadn't found someone he could relax with and he could trust. Now he has.

First paragraph is spot on, not that the rest is incorrect.

Levy clearly has a vision on how to improve the club and has a good understanding our place in the football world. He now has a manager who thrives in the atmosphere and doesn't think progressing is simply about asking for more and more money all the time.

Both sides have shown a lot of respect for each other and are clearly on the same team.

From chairman to DOF to manager to head coach this has not always been the case.

 

[JC-Rule]

I wonder what is Poch’s Plan, what does it translate to when he wants us to take risks?

Is he asking for a war chest or does he want to tie down a number of key players on long term contract with improved wages. Does he have a few targets he wants wrapped up before the World Cup?

I wonder what Poch’s identifies as our next best steps to move the club forward again?

 

[JimmyG2]

Shit!
That's it
They're all off.
I knew it all along.
Bloody stepping stone that's all we are.
