The Poch has been confirmed as manager thread!

[Hazardousman]

I do hope all this universal gushing praise doesn't come back to bite us on the arse.

I know that just sounds pessemistic, but I'm so conditioned to expect the worst with Spurs. Like a war breaking out and the league for the 2015/16 season being cancelled or something .

I almost expect North Korea to start launching missiles 5 mins before we are about to win the league.

The most important trio at the club from a footballing perspective is MP-Mitchell_McDermott.

These 3 decide everything re the playing and coaching side.

We know McDermott turned down Man U a few weeks ago.

Now we see that he's been offered a new bigger role.

Given how close the 3 of them are, I may be putting 2 and 2 together, but I don't think MP is going anywhere.

I find it funny that so many outsiders think Poch would go to Chelsea or Man U. Chelsea is right out of the question as it's clearly suicide for a manager like Pochettino, that club runs like the antithesis of everything he's done.

Not to mention Poch is essentially playing everyone's dream career mode on FM right now. He's taken a club who haven't done a whole lot recently, loaded it up with great young prospects and is now challenging for trophies well before expected. He could have a dynasty on his hands, why in the world would he leave it?

In the short term yes.

Long term not good. Some of the recent former Chelsea and United managers have had their reputations somewhat ruined by those teams in a very short amount of time.

Poch can earn great money here and bank that into rolling form with clubs with better track records of properly backing a manager.

It's called betting on himself, which I'd assume he will do.

 

[fletch82]

We pay our managers well
It's been well documented the leaving for cash thing is nonsense.

Moyes and? Mourinho ancelotti both went on to manage the biggest club in the world. Even avb got the gig here and a massively well paid job in Russia

No where near as well as them and all managers have the ego that thinks they won't be the one to fail. Not that I think he will go there

 

[CowInAComa]

It's very impressive what he has achieved without moutinho

No maybe not as well but that can change in a heartbeat.
Ramos was reportedly on 5 mill a year klopp reported on 7 Wenger 8
I see no reason why 5 to 7 is unachievable for spurs
Also the term ego and poch I haven't seen.
So far it strikes me that if he could he wouldn't even do press conferences.
I have never once heard him talk about himself and what a special one or great one he is or for that matter praise himself in any way shape or form it's always we us and team.

So far a breath of fresh air and one I would imagine is surpassing even Levys wildest dreams.

Moyes was almost sitting in Poch's exact situation and how'd that work out for him?

Ancelotti like Mourinho had previous success' to fall back on and you can't look at just the ones that have been fired, how good of a manager do you feel LVG is right now? How good did you think he was before he joined United? That's the key question one should always ask themselves here.

Pochettino has no trophies to back himself with should things go sour.

Also, even though we did hire AVB we gave him some credibility back. Quite frankly everyone was talking a lot of crap about him. Plus Russian clubs giving you money isn't necessarily a huge vote of confidence on how good a manager is.

How's Scolari doing post Chelsea?

http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/02/1...rik-lamela-is-biggest-example-of-pochettinos/

Now, former Newcastle manager John Carver has told BBC Sport's Match of the Day 2 Extra that he thinks Lamela's improvement in the biggest example of Pochettino's management, hailing his development as an all-round player this season.

"The biggest example is Lamela," said Carver. "I remember going there, playing against Spurs; Lamela was great going forward, but wasn't prepared to run backwards. Now he's doing both! He's buying into the manager's theory and the way he wants to play. It's the only way he's going to stay in the team, and I think players realise that - it's hard to get in that team now."

Bullshit. It's plain ignorance. Just because Lamela is Argentinian, has a silly hair, likes a Rabona and a step over apparently he didn't like tackling - that's just wrong. He along with Kane were the only players in our attacking 4 who actually understood how to press last season.

I can only assume Carvers analysis of the players is about as good as his management ability.

I do agree with you on Lamela....but he - like the rest of the team - has become (much) better at defending since Poch arrived

the job moyes had done at Everton wasn't anything like poch has done so far with us . But I Would say so far the Utd job is harder to recover from than the Chelsea Job it seems. Didn't scolari get the Brazil job again post Chelsea?

Mauricio Pochettino will have Tottenham training even harder than normal this week, says Brad Friedel

• SAM LONG

"I'm sure after the Man City game, Mauricio came in the dressing room and just acted like it was any other win," the American told the Sun.

"He'll get the team sorted for training for the game on Thursday as normal - maybe even a bit harder to let them know, yes, it's a big win but there are many more big wins needed around the corner."

Spurs are set to play a total of seven fixtures in February - including an FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace to add to their European and League campaigns.

Fatigue could play a part in Tottenham's fortunes between now and the end of the season but Friedel believes Pochettino's squad will be able to cope with such a rigorous work load.

Mauricio Pochettino will be working his Tottenham players harder than normal in training this week, according to former Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel.

The north Londoners secured a crucial victory over Manchester City last weekend, which helped them move up to second place in the Premier League table.

Spurs are now just two points adrift of leaders Leicester and there is growing hope Pochettino can lead the club to their first top-flight title since 1961.

But Friedel, who worked under Pochettino at White Hart Lane prior to his retirement, is adamant the Argentine coach will not let his players rest on their laurels as they prepare to face Fiorentina in the Europa League on Thursday night.


"I'm sure after the Man City game, Mauricio came in the dressing room and just acted like it was any other win," the American told the Sun.

Fatigue could play a part in Tottenham's fortunes between now and the end of the season but Friedel believes Pochettino's squad will be able to cope with such a rigorous work load.

"I know he [Pochettino] is going to want to fight on all fronts. They have the mentality where their bodies and minds don't get tired.

"They have a fit enough and big enough squad to compete on three fronts," Friedel insisted.

"Mauricio worked hard last year to figure out which players were going to have the mentality for his style of football."

Moy

There's significant issues for Poch in the Chelsea job.

1) Chelsea don't hold onto managers and fire them extremely quickly. Historically Poch needs time to get his tactics implemented, Southampton players said it took about 6 months, you could argue it took us almost a year. How is he going to get that time when Chelsea fire their manager as soon as there's a slip?

2) They've shown they will back the star players and fire the manager of the two groups come to a battle between them. This is very apparent from this year and they chose to fire Mourinho who is their most successful coach ever, had just won them a title, and is genuinely very well regarded for his success around Europe. How would Poch be able to perform a clear out like the one he did with us if he's not going to get backed? Why on earth would he get backed over the best coach they've ever had?

 

[fletch82]

If he didn't have an ego he wouldn't be in the job. He wants to be the best in his field like any manger or person

So it couldn't be the fact that he has been involved in football all his life then or maybe he loves football and still wants to be heavily involved and this is the best way when you can no longer play ?
He must do it because he has a huge ego ?

I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion and that's yours fair enough I just haven't seen any signs of him being driven by he's ego so have to disagree.

This is becoming a kind of philosophical discussion about "ego" that one find on Buddhist, Yoga and new age forums
No one is ego-less but some have a more selfish ego than others

You know you could just swap the name Chelsea for Spurs in that post pre poch don't you
