What an obtuse point to make. Ok.

I am an optimist but this does not sound like someone who is going anywhere. would be curious to get other's take on it.


Can you achieve what you want to here?
I think, like you all in our different businesses, always we want to improve, we want the best, to win, to achieve more money. I’m an honest person that loves to talk very honestly, and of course when you don’t win you’re so frustrated.
Our fans are so frustrated but you are the first that wants to win, the players, the staff, everyone. When you’re close, you need to try to translate that it’s all under control and try to create a good feeling, trying to help that hope that one day we can win. Of course sometimes the period that you spend, if you don’t achieve all that you want or expect, it’s true that it’s difficult to keep motivated with the right energy to in the end achieve all that you want.
I think the period today at the club, at Tottenham, is so exciting. Of course it looks when you look backwards I think it’s like one life, like we are at Tottenham for 20 or 30 years, because it was so tough, the moments, and so intensive, the moments we shared together. But I think we’re in the middle of the [journey] and I don’t believe that it’s the end of something.
That’s the difference when people talk for different clubs. When you talk about some clubs or others you need to see where they are, how they are, who they are. But when you assess Tottenham, they are in the middle of the journey, in the middle to arrive in the harbour. And you need time. And the time sometimes depends on the boat, or on many things - whether you can improve your boat during the journey. People can talk a lot and create a lot of history and theories about Tottenham but the most important is the reality.​

The reality is we are very close to finishing the new stadium, we’re very close to creating, in facilities, one of the best clubs in the world. Of course all have different costs to pay, and sometimes to win titles today is difficult for different reasons that you and our fans knowe very well. But sometimes the patience is shorter, it’s not too big, and the frustration, like for us, when you don’t win… You’re so close but you don’t win. But for me it’s so exciting to be here at Tottenham, helping the club to achieve the last level.
I think we’re so close to getting the last level, but we need to have that patience that makes us stronger, because of course we’re finding different situations that you need to fix – a lot of difficult things that happen during the journey that you need to sort out. But I think we’re strong enough to sort out all the problems and arrive, and in the end to achieve what the club and fans deserve, and in the end all we want to achieve one day is to win trophies.
When I arrived at Tottenham, the first video I think Daniel or the people showed me was of Tottenham Hotspur, we are talking about the glory. Yes, I want to feel the glory with Tottenham. When I watch that video from 1960, I think always it’s a very emotional video but it will be fantastic to deliver for our fans and for all the people that moment again, to repeat it here with Tottenham. But first of all we need to finish the stadium, move there, finish the facilities here, be settled, make our stadium home again and work so hard to try to be competitive.”

He seems happy enough.

Have you given the players assurances on your future?



I think today in football we always talk. We talk, we always about long term project. I think one day it was difficult to explain. I want to repeat and I hope you don’t misunderstand me. We work with a responsibility to create a long term project. It is true that today in football is always about the present, about good results quick, as soon as possible and it is difficult to talk about project.

At the same time you need to work and try to anticipate the thing about to come. We always work to try to win games tomorrow. If you are not prepared, the team, the squad, with a plan for the future.

After you spend four years and a half like me. I think noone expected so long myself here at tottenham. if you do not anticipate and you have another plan that is not long term period in the end you are going to fail.

The success here is that always we are thinking in today and thinking in tomorrow and that is most important.

I think one day I explain, I want to be here for all of my career. That is the best thing because that is why it is difficult to explain the decision, and to explain the big picture and it is a struggle to explain to our fans why things happen today in the present.

That is the most important to think and then if one, two, three, four, five, six and the patience of the board or Daniel is not big they will sack you. But always you feel responsible and the legacy for different people that can arrive and work on the projectect. That is our responsiblity, I feel responsible, the coaching staff to not only come here and work and it’s a fantastic life in London and fantastic facilities. That is why our commitment is not thinking is not only today but for the future.

Sounding a lot more positive.

Securing Dele on long-term deal perked me up a little and hopefully we can get a Eriksen to follow suit soon (I personally don’t feel Toby will but would like to be pleasantly surprised).

Then hopefully in Jan we can get a midfielder and perhaps one other in and move into new stadium and things will start to click a bit more again.

Mauricio Pochettino has said that he can achieve all of his career aims as manager of Tottenham, despite complications over the club's stadium move and links with Real Madrid.

Pochettino has been linked with the Real Madrid manager's post but, when asked whether he feels he can achieve his personal ambitions with Spurs, he delivered a passionate soliloquy lasting almost six minutes about his current job.

"Like you all in our different businesses, always we want to improve, we want the best, to win, to achieve more money," Pochettino said. "I love to talk very honestly, and of course when you don't win you're so frustrated.

"Sometimes during the period you spend, if you don't achieve all that you want or expect, it's true that it's difficult to keep motivated with the right energy to in the end achieve all that you want.

"I think the period today at the club, at Tottenham, is so exciting. I think when you look backwards, it looks like [a lifetime], like we are at Tottenham for 20 or 30 years, because it was so tough and intensive, the moments we shared together. But I think we're in the middle of the [journey] and I don't believe that it's the end of something.

The eternal optimist in me just hopes that with new stadium having a much larger capacity plus NFL, the concerts / events we can hold there (including all our corporate hospitality lounges) means we’ll end up with a massive injection to our budget that we are generating ourselves, rather than relying on owners.

And that perhaps Poch whilst maybe a bit fed up at mo can see this and looks forward to having a bit more muscle in future seasons.

Apologies if you took it that way, the way I see it is Pogba believes he is more important than he actually is. Think there where times last season he and moaninho clashed. Poch wants players that want to play for the badge, hence the changes he made on arrival.

That I am surprised about but great choice though.
Me too. Apparently, he had already registered it as a domain name for some webcam business he's got going on, and was worried about potential brand dilution.

Still, Poch. What a guy. He even shares his sofa with a dog.

Maybe Levi knelt down before him and promised solemnly that a good sum of money will be spent on players Poch wants.
