Honestly, I figured most of the talk would be swapping Poch for Bale.

I just meant that purely from the standpoint of clickbait Klopp would be the more obvious choice. Liverpool's global support base dwarfs our own, and they are absolutely obsessive on Twitter and other forms of social media.
Klopp having managed in club football's most high-profile match of the season, against Real Madrid, last weekend, has just a touch more resonance with regard to media exposure than a match last October.

I have to say - there are many on here that are a lot more confident than I am!
How many chances will a manager get to lead Real Madrid - who knows what will happen in the future, his stock might fall massively.
I hate to say it, but I think there's a fair chance he'll leave. I don't think it was clear (at all) that Zidane would be leaving (the players were told this morning apparently) and my guess is that he felt he (Zidance) would stay having won the CL.
I dearly hope not, obviously. Hopefully Daniel is on the phone to him right now saying - "everything I promised you re: players, I'm going to wrap up in the next few days because you're such a great guy and I want you to stay"...
Maybe a bit optimistic?

I think Klopp is a more obvious choice for Real, but I just can't see him going anywhere. I think he believes (possibly correctly) that he's on the verge of something big

This strikes me as wishful thinking. Why drag your feet on a massive pay rise and potentially alienate your employer over a hypothetical that very well may not come to pass? Having signed the contract Poch is now in a much stronger bargaining position with Madrid than he otherwise would have been, and Spurs would also benefit (for lack of a better word) from a dramatically larger buyout.
The new contract is hardly some ironclad defense against Poch leaving. All it means is that it will be much more costly to lure him away. If he decides he wants to go and Perez is willing to pay what it takes, it will not be an obstacle.

No offence but I think that you are pessimistic. He won't be going to RM.

If some of you don't stop saying Poch is leaving, I'm going to get Hercules to tell you to stop.

He won't leave. I don't like the word 'spursy' but this panicking over him going is very 'spursy'.
I know, I'm back again.

Poch just signed a reported 8.5m a year, 5 year contract so in order to buy him out it would cost a minimum of £42.5m, at that figure and with a desire to go I would imagine Levy will deal. Now this being Madrid they will arrogantly expect Poch to kick up hell to join their club. This is the part I think Poch will have more class and self respect to do in order to save Madrid a few pounds

The Independent understands the Argentinian would be allowed to leave for Madrid owning to an informal agreement with Daniel Levy – providing the price is right

If the Independent story is true, its going to be a real struggle, pardon the pun....
If Real's number 1 target is Poch, they push for him, its going to be very difficult for us. I hope one way or other , Poch clarifies situation straight away. Last thing we need is uncertainity
