The Poch has been confirmed as manager thread!

[adamthfc]

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.

He's already proved he moves on for bigger better things by joining us from Southampton. It's the way of life in football.he also said one day he would like one of the big jobs in Spain

Pretty sure he recently said he wouldn't take the Madrid job.

Why are you spreading your negativity about Poch leaving around the site?

 

[CowInAComa]

I cant see any reason why he would choose to leave a resurgent Tottenham for Chelsea or Utd who are an absolute shambles.

The notion of going from this set of players that he is moulding into his vision to managing a bunch of fading ex-big name players is a step backwards right at this moment in time.

If Barca come calling... that would worry me

Possibly the most overused negative nonsense posted about poch
It is well documented why he left and I bet if a search was conducted the reasons he left scbc have probably been explained in excess of 200 times in here and are factually correct but some fans just don't want to accept it because it goes against their grain ?
Baffling really it's right up there with lamela can't use he's right foot and is shit

I actually said he wouldn't go in my earlier post

or its just incredible naivety to believe it was due to anything other than is being a bigger club and offering bigger wages

Dude I'm far from naive and a little bit to old in the tooth as well.

Like I said it's your opinion your entitled to it but the turd in your hand is not a cream cake and as much as you say it is I ain't buying it.

I don't think he'd leave for Chelsea right now, but I think those dismissing Utd out of hand are delusional. He is an ambitious guy, he believes in himself, he will know the potential for sustainable success is greater at Utd, no matter what the situation right now, they are still in a better situation than we were when he came here or are likely to be for many years, so will believe in himself to be able to turn them back into a side capable of competing strongly on every front year after year and the temptation to do that with one of the world's uber blue chip clubs would have to be great.

We have this tendency to look at things from only the "Spurs" angle and see what we want to see. But, but, but he's loved here, we will have a lovely new stadium in 3 years, he has Mitchell…..But ambitious, highly driven people like Pochettino feed off and need challenge, it's their oxygen and to test himself at one of the world's biggest clubs would be something he must think about and would not surprise me at all if he was offered the Utd job, he took it.

No, you are right and It's naive to believe his ambition had nothing to do it. Cortese wasn't here either, and when Real come knocking with record transfer deals and those players want to go, he will also lose his best players here too, and anyone who thinks otherwise is naive, and I don't think Pochettino is.

 

[SoulDog]

I personally think Poch will be here for many years.

I agree, if we take the piss, dismantle hos project and sell the team from under him then he will very likely move on for bigger and better things, and so he should.
I bet that like me though, you hope we don't so we can be confident he won't.

I think given United dire need for instant success they will go for Jose.

The difference, and its a big one, is that our club is not going to let it be known that we are looking to sell our players and we won't sell half a dozen of our top players even if other clubs do wave the wonga.

man u wouldnt appoint him though
we had time to give him a season to bed himself in, put his methods across and develop young players
man u cannot afford to waste another season, they want superstars and they wont appoint poch
they will go for jose as after 3 shit seasons they need to be seen to be getting a huge name
no way they will go for poch, he isnt the type of manager they want

I think you are right that it should not be dismissed out of hand that he'd be attracted to the job, but there are a few things that lead me to think he'll stay here come what may this summer.

1. According to Woodward United's financial model is going to be based on a Galactico signing policy. They want big star signings to generate more commercial deals. This is would make it a lot harder for Poch to build that tight knit hard working spirit so important to his philosophy.

2. He's built up a bond with his squad and technical staff. He's a loyal guy, as his decision to leave Saints because of Cortese leaving showed, and he's just started a journey with the players, Mitchell and McDermott.

3. I think despite batting off the Trust with his "Mauricio has a 3.5 year deal" answer, Levy will be offering him a new contract with much improved terms by the summer.

To me, he seems very similar to Klopp at Dortmund in that he's found the right club for him at the right time. And of course one day he'll leave to test himself with other challenging projects, but not until he's completed what he feels is his Spurs cycle.

Like I said, I would understand why he might. I don't know if they will offer Pochhettino the job, but I think the people in charge at Utd wouldn't be doing their jobs properly if they weren't considering him.

I'm not so sure. I think they will see in Poch a very similar "type" to Ferguson. Driven, demanding, prepared to use academy players who will walk through walls for you, attacking, pressing football.

Let's not assume everyone at United is an idiot.

I would love to believe this but I think the vastly overwhelming evidence of the football world tells us that this kind of loyalty to "the project" is infinitesimally small.

Don't think it's a "Spurs lens" we're looking through.

Go on Red Cafe, there's plenty of United fans saying they have basically no chance and he'd be a bit stupid to go there.
