I love Poch

[DIEHARD]

I think his natural progression if he were to leave would be Atletico no? I think theyll come gunning for him the thing is would he leave?

 

[Woodyy]

Athletico have managed to keep Simeone even though there must have been some serious enquiries from bigger teams, especially last season when there was so many managerial changes at major clubs.

We just need to match Poch's ambition which we are currently doing, the new stadium is a massive pull as is CL football. We are in the process tying down most of our major players to long term contracts as well. The only thing I could see going wrong is some kind of falling out with Levy but I honestly think Levy recognises how important Pochettino is to us. He's arguably the perfect manager for our current situation in which we have to be even more financially stringent than normal due to funding the new stadium.

Simeone is leaving in a couple of years i think... which would coincide with our new stadium etc hence im a tad concerned but hey thats in a couple of years time. I think we can easily keep Real at bay because i think Poch is too sensible for that soap opera.

Or Dortmund perhaps.

Us Spurs Fans are a tough crowd come on the Guy deserves a massive amount of respect we are really lucky to have him, its down to Poch we are in the position we are in and lets be honest we have tried and tested a lot of managers.

Nobody has said he doesn't deserve credit and respect, certainly not me. I'm simply saying he isn't a great manager or a top manager. He is a very good manager who has the potential to be great.

 

[Angel Eyes]

I love the way he answers questions without any answers.

Great or top? Is there a dfference? If you want to solely use the "great" argument about having to prove that descriptive by winning things, then can't argue with you. I still don't think that's what "great" means in my book, but still.

A "top" manager transforms teams and can take them to higher levels over the course of one or more seasons. Poch's done that...also think he's great!

I wonder whether Vlad Chiriches feels slighted or relieved by being completely left off the 'Bale transfer re-investment' list.

It's subjective really, I would say Raneri is a great manager for his achievement last season but I would say Ancilloti is a top manager, another level above.
Would you consider Sam Allardyce a great manager for the job he did at Bolton?

 

[danielneeds]

I genuinely believe he would turn down an advance from any club in the world now, and has made a committment to lead us to the new stadium. I believe he's cut from the same cloth as Wenger, who turned down Real, Barca etc, when the Scum were moving. Men of their words.

Poch has been an incredible coach to us, no matter how he is perceived in an international sense. We all know that things can rapidly change in football, but there's no reason to expect Poch wanting to leave what so ever. He has proven to be a magnificent coach when it comes to young talents, and when he arrived he had to get rid of the old guard whom didn't see eye to eye with his methods. What would be left if he had to get rid of all the divas at the top clubs?

Why wouldn't Poch want to stay, when he has the youngest and most talented squad in the richest and toughest league at hand while having complete faith from players and board alike. What's more appealing than the possibility to create history and make a top international team with what used to be sub top team in the BPL before his arrival. For all I know, he could become the next Ferguson of Tottenham Hotspur with a decade of great achievements in the future to come. It might never come so far, but let's just enjoy the great potential at hand without any doomsday scenarios to spoil the ride.

Until we lose a game at which point there will be a thread saying he's tactically inept, has no plan b, picks the wrong team and has a porky pig face.

it's post like this where you really wished you was allowed to choose 2-3 ratings

I never read match day threads, but I bet once the team was announced there was a few angry at not selecting our strongest XI v CSKA.

every win ='s 3 new threads about how people are feeling at the time, and what will happen, and will Liverpool be any good blah blah blah, just enjoy the ride, and lets see how we do in the League by halfway before getting too excited, because I know I am even if I'm dreading scummy x 3 November

Unfortunately money talks in all aspects of life, so that would be the main reason i see Poch leaving us.

I love the way he says 'Do you know' when he answers questions in press conferences. Its the little things......

I actually believe his 2 biggest challenges that face him are our season at Wembley, and if he survives, then his 1st season at the new WHL. at Wembley every team that visits will see it as a mini cup final, and when we move every team will want their 1st visit to be memorable and try and stop it being a fortress

Poch won't be going anywhere for a while. Got everything he wants here. Barcelona would be my only worry, but definitely not either of the Madrid clubs. Atletico would be at best a sideways move, or even a backward one. And the idea of of getting Ronaldo to go for double training sessions wouldn't appeal to him. Real need managers that player generic, not overly tactical football that involves getting as many star studded names on the pitch as possible. Coaches who use the term "philosophy" don't do well there.

I actually don't think Barcelona would appeal to him either. 20 year old footballers may be attracted to the Spanish lifestyle, but 40 year managers seem to prefer the English lifestyle. It's not just the money that lures them here. Wenger hasn't been at Arsenal for 20 years out of loyalty to Arsenal, he just likes living in England too much, as do Mourinho, Benitez and others. Wouldn't surprise me if Guadiola's here more than his usual 3 years and Klopp's made a long term commitment at Liverpool.

Pochettino is an Espanyol man as well, so if he managed Barcelona, he'd get a lot of hate.

 

[bat-chain]

Bloke is an absolute god.

Even if we have any kind of bad run we must all back him and not panic.

We are set for decades and Levy has to create the conditions Pochettino wants to make that a reality.

He's our 'one'.

Where is Poch's wife from? That will tell you where he is likely to go in the future.
