With Poch having no agent, I expect he wanted to talk through the draft contract with Uncle Alex. I mean, would you trust yourself against Uncle Daniel?

The fact ManU have now got first buy out rights, at a discounted rate, is neither here nor there.


Hmm, yes it all kinda fits a bit too well if you get me.
Poch said contract verbally agreed.
We seemed to wait an age for an announcement.

Poch signs new contract.

It does make you wonder exactly what was said.

But who gives a shit.
He's ours now and if Danny boy can back him and we can start winning trophy's, maybe he will want to build a legacy here.

One can only hope.

Alas, being spurs for over 30 yrs makes me a pessimist by default,
Something has to go tits up . . . Right?

Forget Levy and Ferguson: I'd go as far as saying I wouldn't trust any man unrelated to me who insisted that I call him "Uncle". He'd probably have a packet of sweets in his pocket and something to show me in the back of his minivan.

I think the speculation after the meeting became public just bought forward the signing. In the same way the PSG comments saw Poch saying a new deal was agreed. I honestly think they were just picking Fergie's brain. Did Fergie mention managing ManU one day... maybe. I am taking Poch at his word that he plans to be here for some time to come and really build something. Maybe I'm being naive but he seems genuine and I want to believe he honestly means it.

But - how did you know?

Sounds like a silly question but fuck it... you don't know me. ..

What are the differences between coach and manager. What I want to know is a) significance of the change in job title? And b) how will his role evolve now he is a manager?

I always thought Manager was way classier than coach...

The best thing about the new contract is some of the comments in here about Fergie: 'whiskey drenched c**t', and 'oily heap of shit' being my favourites!

Seriously tho, wonderful news and without doubt, the best signing we will make this summer.

It could have even been the other way. They knew poch had this lunch coming up, knew there'd be a shit storm the day after so decided to delay the announcement until afterwards to make a statement.
