The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Trix]

His book suggests it was pretty toxic.

Not read it. Of course there were players causing problems, but the hierarchy were all behind him. That's why the trouble makers were all moved on asap.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

funny how nobody links Klopp every time a position becomes available. to be fair though Klopp would probably shut all rumours down by stating how much he wants to be liverpool manager and how honoured he is to be there. I wish Poch would do the same

Wait till Bayern come knocking

Wait till Bayern come knocking

I can see Poch fitting in well there ...

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

The delusional dotards over at Redcafe have a thread titled "Next spurs manager" as if its a given that Poch will be leaving us for them.

The sheer fucking arrogance of United fans boils my piss. As if they have some god given right to be anything more than they currently are.

Tbf reading their thread about who their next manager will be a lot doubt he'd go to them.

Nah, he'll be the next Southampton manager.

Apparently he's the Ralph Hasenhüttl of the Black Forest...

There is a lot to be said for being happy in your job, over-achieving to an extent where you are openly converted by others, highly respected by everyone where you are currently employed and have the trust from everyone in the organisation you are essentially the face of and have been the architect of all that has been achieved to date. MP is currently this. And has stated time and time again how happy he is at Spurs.

Yes it will be flattering for MP to be touted as a potential successor to Jose - I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone that doesn't find it flattering to be linked to a "historically" iconic club. But that's what they are currently.... historically iconic. They are not the force they once were. Not by a long shot.

As has already been mentioned by many posters - he would essentially have to start again at Utd. Go back 3 or 4 seasons on what he's achieved at Spurs. I think MP will be more motivated to achieve something at Spurs, rather than essentially trying to just get Utd back to where they were 5 or 6 years ago. He will never top what Fergie done there... but at Spurs he has the opportunity to build something that hasn't been seen for a very long time at Spurs. If ever.

that being said - anyone hoping that you get MP stating "I don't want the Job at Man Utd" - it wont happen. He doesn't need to make that statement publically. Regardless of what us, as fans want him to do.

I was once offered a job with more money in a larger firm - I rejected it simply because I was really happy working with my manager and team as a whole. I couldnt take the risk in moving somewhere larger with greater stress and potentially management who I werent going to be keen on working with - based on reputation. I am ambitious however but i just couldnt move.

I guess Poch will have a huge decision to make like you say. It is not so much a big step up but he needs to start again over there and it goes beyond the team on the pitch - the whole club and management structure appears to be a toxic environment, a bureaucratic one, one where too many cooks etc.

For Poch to stay it isnt just down to happiness, he needs to be backed to satisfy where he wants to end up on this journey - PL and CL. No point going on a journey aimlessly and without purpose.

These are the same pundits and journos that had us convinced that Harry Redknapp had the England job in the bag.

I kind of can't see how the United job wouldn't be a good career move for him, he'll get paid more, he'll get more money to spend and even if it doesn't go well and he gets sacked, he'll get a golden handshake that'll look after his family's future...plus it wouldn't look as bad if he failed in the aftermath of Mourinho, Van Gaal and Moyes not being able to take the club past Fergie's legacy.

It'd be a lot easier to build something at United than Tottenham tbh.

Come on pal. Where's your ambition? You'll never win anything with your current firm.

You could argue the same but more about Real Madrid, but he remained loyal to us.

If he turned down Real Madrid, a club he clearly would love to manage, I cant see him joining United.

Wait! Am I missing something? Has Pochettino come and said that he wants to leave or is not happy at the club?

No, but he didn't say he wanted to stay either.

Which, in media terms, means he is incredibly unhappy and wants to leave the club immediately.

I know mate. I already put up the thread in the opposition fans thread. This guy I’m quoting below is why I detest the dirty little manc pricks!!!

“There is no way Pochettino says no to United in favour of Spurs.

Spurs will be an Europa League position team again very soon. They're lucky to have retained a terrific manager, some world class players. Their run is going to end - they don't have the drawing power to replace this level of quality”

Good shout at CL qualification? ?

Write them off if you like but they have a very talented squad and with a bit of confidence could really turn things around.

 

[Spurrific]

At work, we have SSN on all day - it literally has not changed from Solskjaer's appointment since it happened. Every video clip is United, it's fucking nauseating.

She’s in Brussels again? What’s her odds on being the next United manager?

He has said numerous times he is happy.
