ya but our revenue is over 200 million a year now so a 5 million raise represent less than a 2.5% of revenue and we will make more CL money and significantly more with the new stadium. We will never be Manchester City but an extra 5 million a year just wont be that much in the coming years.

And an extra £5m if kane gets a payrise? How much extra would you pay for toby to sign a new contract? Dele? Eriksen?

We cannot use cl money to pay extra wages because what happens if we don't qualify? We sell players to make up the difference? Look at what happens to teams that are relegated, they have parachute payments to break the fall but still have to sell. This has a massive impact on how good they are on the pitch.

I know it's easy when it's not your money to say pay him extra but it is a lot more complicated than that.

This is not even going into pl ffp.

Our revenue is over £200m (probably more like £300m). Man utd is £581m we are closer to huddersfield than we are them. We also have an £850m stadium to pay for.

if you want to worry about 5 million pounds thats up to you. Personally I think if Levy built an 850 million pound stadium he can come up with 5 million to keep Poch if he wants to.

Football is a very fickle sport, as Poch said himself recently, and you don't know what can happen. However, you just have to listen to the man to know that he will not be leaving any time soon. Spurs are the perfect club for him in virtually every respect. The theme that runs through his comments is one of building something, developing players, growing with his squad, making history. The big jobs are the complete opposite of what makes Poch tick. Too much scrutiny, too much outside interference, old players with big egos. I'm not even sure that Poch could function in such an environment. We have all seen what happens to players who don't buy in! Could he really do that to Ronaldo? Suarez? Robben? Neymar?

From the journalist who believed the fake GreyFox's Rondon link comes the next great chapter in Spurs to Madrid stories: Tales from random people on elevators:


Miguel Delaney

A moment in a Bernabeu elevator last night when some middle-aged man - would be nicer if we knew he was some Real suit - asks us about PL... and Spurs. "Kane and Pochettino. They both have to come here. Together."

I think the timing of the stadium opening is working to our benefit with Poch and the players. If this new stadium was still a few years down the road I could see people taking off. They'd be mad to leave this offseason with the new stadium coming. If there's any offseason for the big clubs to need new managers it's this one. Poch turns them down b/c the stadium is opening next season and it should be a new horizon for the club, they sign new managers that take them off the market for Poch for the next 3-4 seasons.

Jermaine Jenas praises Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino


Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 with Juventus in Italy on Tuesday, despite a horrific start.


Writing in GQ magazine, Jermaine Jenas believes that the body language of Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino in Tuesday's draw at Juventus was a big insight into the belief that he has in his players.

Tottenham's Champions League campaign looked to be heading down the drain in Turin as the Italian giants raced into a 2-0 lead within 10 minutes of the first leg in their last-16 tie.

Harry Kane halved the deficit on 35 minutes, before Christian Eriksen completed the comeback with a free kick with 20 minutes left to make the Lilywhites favourites to reach the quarter-finals.

And Jenas believes that their comeback was inspired by Pochettino's refusal to panic on the touchline, remarking that the Argentine was the "coolest man in the stadium" in spite of his team's dreadful start.

"I was in the commentary box and I could already see the next day's headlines about how Spurs had thrown their chance away, but then I looked down at the manager Mauricio Pochettino and he just wasn't panicking," he wrote in GQ magazine.

"Obviously he was disappointed to have conceded two early goals, but he just looked like the coolest man in the stadium. A lot of managers would have been jumping around, gesticulating and trying to rally the team, but he just seemed so self-assured and in control.

"And I think that transferred itself to the players and from that point on they were the better team."

If Pochettino did believe his side could turn it around, few could blame him for thinking that.

After all, this is a Tottenham side who obliterated Arsenal last weekend, despite a 1-0 scoreline, and also beat Manchester United and drew with Liverpool in recent weeks.

Time will tell how far Spurs can go in the Champions League, but the former Espanyol boss has assembled a quite brilliant squad of players, all of whom have totally bought into his ideas, and that's a recipe for success.

Poch is all about the process. I think he would be much happier winning major honors after a process than doing so inmediately upon arrival like what happens at the bigger clubs since they can spend hundreds of millions on shiney new world class players every year. Dont think he’s leaving any time soon.

Yeah McKenna was one. Matthew Wells (works with the U18's team) is another who was on our books, Rob Burch is listed as a GK coach, and I think Chris Riley was as well who now has got qualified and works as one of the sports scientists. The club also gives chances to ex-players wanting to go into coaching (Parker, Ehiogu (RIP), Ledley did some coaching initially but didn't like it iirc), and also some lower level players who are focusing on coaching - which is he route the likes of Cochrane, Antwi and Cato took.

Different pathways and opportunities are there if the person is keen and shows qualities that the club value, if Mason decides it's something he wants to do then I think the club would open the door for him.

I had noticed the last few months Poch had started barely speaking about long term at Tottenham and being pretty standoffish about the Real links. It used to be he would talk about the long term project every week but he had stopped that.

There have been some rumours this week about Poch contract talks and I noticed in todays press conference he's back to speaking about the long term. He was happily talking about the new stadium next season and even came out with this quote "Do we want to win trophies? Of course. We want to win trophies and celebrate with our fans. I am a positive person and, for sure, if it takes one year, two years or five years, we are going to win a big trophy one day".

Perhaps there has been good progress made on a new contract. He's earned it I reckon.

Pogba benched again tonight. Can see united imploding. An unhappy Pogba will cause massive disruption.
We really don’t want too much disruption at United. If Jose goes, it’s pretty much a given they come for Poch, and come for him hard.
