The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[WiganSpur]

Why wouldn't Madrid go all out for Klopp? He plays insane attacking football that their fans love, he's won things in the past. Madrid are a bigger club than Liverpool, I don't get why he's not been linked/wanted by Madrid, am I missing something?

Because it's Liverpool unfortunately.

If he was Spurs manager and he'd just taken us to the CL final you could almost guarantee it.

Double swoop for Klopp and Salah? Yum.

 

[Metalhead]

Maybe Perez and Walker were on the same page

Wasn't there a story about him being offered to us when Gerry Francis was manager?

Just imagine Wenger goes there and in an attempt to win the unthinkable 4th in a row Champions league...gets out of the group of death (in 2nd) and draws Bayern Munich in the last 16...he just manages to unzip his jacket as the 5th Bayern goal goes in and spontaneously combusts as Ronaldo gets a last minute consolation.

Poetic justice.

Or he wins it with Real Madrid and goes on a rant 'this is what a proper team with a European pedigree does in Europe...not like those slags from Woolwich'

Ew. That's repulsive!

 

[JollyHappy]

Well we'll soon find out if his new contract has a release clause!

 

[Spurrific]

It doesn’t.

Sooner than you thought, eh?

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

Perv.

It doesn't stop Daily Express already spreading shit https://www.express.co.uk/sport/foo...ochettino-Tottenham-Perez-rumours-gossip-news

 

[Shadydan]

Do people purposely believe this shit or what?

 

[stov]

worried

 

[jay2040]

I imagine Wenger signing a one year deal with Real Madrid and someone else takes over next year

What the fuck you doing imagining about Wenger ? plenty of other shit in the world to focus on!

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I think it is not unrealistic that Madrid would sign Wenger now short term to bridge the gap until Pochettino is ready to leave Tottenham, which may or may not be sooner than one would hope, but certainly isn't this summer. Get an experienced gaffer in to navigate the club into a safe harbour in which the young and hungry guy can come in and take over.

Never heard that one!

"Who needs Zinedine Zidane when we've got Jason Dozzell?!"

The thing is Real doesn't treat rejections very well,if Poch rejects them now I doubt they'll offer him the job ever again.Im just praying they offer the Job to Guti their u19 coach.

 

[dagraham]

Yeah, apparently Francis rejected him on the grounds he was “too wooden” .

I think he’s since denied it. Not surprisingly .

 

[wrd]

Anybody who thinks Poch would sign a contract and then fuck off 10 minutes after signing it don't know the measure of the man.

 

[dtxspurs]

Can only imagine this has put a wrench in any transfer talks Levy has been having. Having to answer to every player/agent is Poch going to Madrid.

Not sure what impact it would have on us specifically but I could imagine a broader slowdown of transfers for many club's top targets who may first want to see what Madrid do and get a feeler for if there will be any major shakeup there in terms of players which would impact their value or put them on/take them off the Madrid shopping list.
