The Poch has been confirmed as manager thread!

[THOWIG]

Spurs fans hate taking a manager whose last job was in the Premiership apparently.

We are our own worst enemies sadly.

Sunday Express believe Mauricio Pochettino is on the verge of walking out on Southampton as links with Tottenham grow. #THFC

Nothing story, he was always going to be leaving Southampton. This was said months ago.

Same old bullshit, using old rehashed information to draw in the punters and the gullible idiots.

Not quite as dramatic as they have made it sound but this is pretty much what i have been led to believe. It wouldnt be a walkout per say, more Saints cant match Pochs ambition.

I reckon Saints could be relegation candidates if Poch leaves and takes players with him along with star players like Shaw and Lallana leaving.

Relegation candidates? Many on here suggest they're exactly where they should be now

 

[neogenisis]

My step-daughter just asked this man what was going on.

He said lets concentrate on the game today, sing loud and proud.

 

[ilikeost]

I don't want him if you guys are going to insist on calling him "Poch".

I don't want him if you guys are going to insist on calling him "Poch".

My thoughts exactly, although I think I have used the same abbreviation myself, it felt dirty though.

Still think it will be De Boer or Benitez.

 

[Drexl]

Think Levy pretty much hinted at Poch in the statement

He talked about not just results but the way we play being critical and De Boer and Benitez are not known for their flair

Can we call him Relegachettino for taking Espanyol to the bottom of the La Liga?

He's blown his chance now, Levy's sensibilities and honourable way of working will have been offended

 

[beats1]

Positives:

Attractive football
Doesn't have a name that can be reduced to three letters
Looks cuddly
Would communicate well with our Spanish-speaking players
Likes 4-2-3-1

Negatives:

Not got a great deal of experience
Hasn't really achieved anything (see above)
Won't be easy to warm to if he continues to use a translator
Hasn't got the reputation to bring in top players
Hasn't got the reputation to keep our best players
Looks like he could be in a boy band...as the chubby song-writer
Doesn't seem able to change a game when his team is losing

Doesn't speak english to the media, thats ok with Southampton but with us its a different story.

Remember Ramos, we were told he speaks english but the media absolutely destroyed him because he didnt speak english to them after a year

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I'm stunned at some of the negative comments of him. He's an outstanding coach who has improved some very ordinary players immeasurably.

Watch Southampton's recent game against Everton and tell me you don't dream to watch Spurs play in the same fashion. Check out their game at the Emirates too.

I know, it's mind boggling.

I'm 100% certain Pochetinno will shut a lot of people up if he is appointed.

How come de boer not known for flair play ?? :S

He plays similar to AVB, possession football and high line

I don't think this matters if we are getting results. As it hasn't been an issue after Southamptons impressive season.

There are only issues if the team are perceived to be failing and the media are looking for reasons for this.

Hope so.

I think it will become a problem for a lot of our fans. I just can't see people warming to him as a personality if he only uses a translator when talking to the media.

Sounds like a daft point, but as long as he uses a translator there will be a gulf between him and the fans. Obviously people won't care if we're doing well, but as soon as things turn sour I can imagine a lot of fans feeling no connection to him whatsoever.
