The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Rob]

'Arry in with Noel Edmonds as assistant

 

[samspurs92]

Poch will get pissed off with the reporters in his press conference today ha!

 

[knowlespurs]

I think Man Utd should go for Tim Sherwood.

yep agreed, he is a winner remember

 

[coys200]

Carrick is just taking training for 2 days they said, an 'external' appointment will be made for an interim manager to take over until the end of the season.

Yup they changed it. First said was carrick till end of season.

Mourinho is looking for a job

I'd rather have you as manager @Archibald&Crooks.
And that's not a compliment

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Not concerned in the slightest. I really can’t see Poch leaving. He was offered the world by Real Madrid in the summer and still stayed loyal to us. He won’t go to United.

Nevertheless, his Arsenal pre game press conference today will be interesting. I know he doesn’t speak about rumours but it would be good for him to settle down the worried Spurs fans amongst us.

 

[jimmy-jojo]

I can see this seriously destabilizing our season with the constant media barrage. I hope Poch doesn't allow himself to get distracted or we could be looking the Redknapp/England scenario all over again.

I wonder what Levy can do to nip this in the bud ASAP. Another improved contract?

 

[nasescoba1985]

FUck United!!!! Gone are the days when they come and cherry pick our players/ staff. I couldn’t careless who they are, we have a manager thoroughly enjoying his time and has publicly stated he is here for the long term. Mourinho was always a dead man walking, so what difference does this make ?

 

[Indisguise]

Yanited aren't stupid. They're not going to get into the top four this year so leaving the position open and ready to ensnare a budget starved, Ferguson-loving Poch makes a lot of sense.

 

[jurgen]

Time for Kojak to put on his big boy pants. Our project goes down the shitter if Poch is tempted away.

Press are going to have a field day. His stock answer to questions about his future is normally 'Who knows, anything can happen in football'

Think he might have to give a firmer answer than that today.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

New contract for Poch today please. 12m a year should fend Yanited off

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Another worrying thing is that there aren't that many decent candidates to replace Pochettino if he decides to leave.

@thinktank would be a fine choice.

Lets hope Zidane is ready to start working by summer

It is always going to happen with Spurs and Pochettino/Kane/Eriksen, etc. That is where we are in the pecking order. We are not Real or Barcelona or United.

BUT…

This doesn’t have the air of inevitability that it would have had a few years ago. United are a bigger club than us, granted, but they are not a better team. They have been in turmoil since Ferguson left. It still amazes me that they finished 2nd last year. There are no guarantees that Poch goes there, gets £300m to spend and closes the gap on City/Liverpool in a shorter space of time than he could if he stayed at Spurs. They will have no CL football next season, are not one or two players away from winning a title like I believe we are, but more like 6 or 7, so it would be another project regardless of their stature/financial muscle. Jose has done a poor job with that team, but I still think they’re the 5th best side in the Prem in terms of the players they have.

He will obviously be their number 1 target. Would I be shocked if he ended up there? Probably not. Do I think it will happen? Absolutely not.

Why insult me? I'm hurt. You wait until I see your mum

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

My heart is bricking it but my head is telling me he won’t be going to United.

 

[jurgen]

@thinktank would be a fine choice.

He's too busy building a dossier of memes to bring down Mueller at the moment unfortunately.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Lets hope Zidan is ready to start working by summer

It will be Zidane on a short term I'm sure. But they will go for Poch hard.

 

[ShayLaB]

Bournemouth fans are now thinking through the implications of Jose leaving,
