Those wishing for Poch will be in for a big suprise in my opinion, and not a good one.
Don't tell me we're going for Maurizio Pochettino instead of his dad!?!

Lol.Knowing Levy Sol Campbells probably in with a shout
Really? Don't forget it takes 6-9 months to implement his style of play.
Gallardo and Alex Scott in the summer please.Poch and Maddison in the summer please.
No idea about Gallardo tbh but I’m aboard the Alex Scott train. Class young playerGallardo and Alex Scott in the summer please.
One of Gallardo many talents is he’s excellent at developing youth players. Would love to see what he could do with him.No idea about Gallardo tbh but I’m aboard the Alex Scott train. Class young player
Poch and Maddison in the summer please.
Scott has a lot of admirers apparently...Gallardo and Alex Scott in the summer please.
And is a Spurs fan supposedly. One would hope if we offered him a solid deal with a path to the first team then he would come. Personally would prefer him to Maddison who’s incredibly injury prone. Anyway, won’t get wrapped up in player talk in this thread. We need a new manager first!Scott has a lot of admirers apparently...
Gallardo wouldn’t even be able to communicate with him. Isn’t his biggest red flag the fact he can’t speak EnglishGallardo and Alex Scott in the summer please.
He played in the US for a season and is currently studying English. He also speaks French so is obviously comfortable with different languages. I dont see him being any worse than Poch was when he first came to the UK, he might even be better.Gallardo wouldn’t even be able to communicate with him.

Pretty sure reports were no English, that was actually a pretty big issue for pochettino and I’m glad he had learnt the language prior to us signing himHe played in the US for a season and is currently studying English.

There’s a report posted a few pages back that he’s been studying English because he’s aware it could well be needed for his next job.Pretty sure reports were no English, that was actually a pretty big issue for pochettino and I’m glad he had learnt the language prior to us signing him
Hmm yea fair mabye I got that one wrongUnderstated if anything. Mason given the job permanently would be the final nail in the coffin for our time in the 'big 6' imo.
Out of the potential 1st 11, there is only Davies, Dier, Son & Kane (maybe Skipp, but he hardly played). When Poch took over, we were playing a style closer to what we are now, which is pretty much the complete opposite. In fact, we have been playing a brand of football that is far away from Poch's style for 3 years now.Well, maybe because a few players are still here from his time and he knows the working environment...so I'd expect him to be able implement things a bit quicker.
For the article that @Ossie85 posted a few pages back (also link to the article below).Pretty sure reports were no English, that was actually a pretty big issue for pochettino and I’m glad he had learnt the language prior to us signing him
Maddison's injury record isn't that bad at all. In the last 2 and 2/3 seasons, he has missed 17 league games out of a possible 101. Plus the fact that he can play RW. AM and CM in a 3, would be ideal for Gallardo, who like to mix his formations up.And is a Spurs fan supposedly. One would hope if we offered him a solid deal with a path to the first team then he would come. Personally would prefer him to Maddison who’s incredibly injury prone.

What I like about Poch is at least it's not a clean slate for these failing players. I imagine he'll want rid of Sanchez from the get go for example. A new manager might want to work with him first. Same for Winks, Lo Celso and Ndombele.
