I would like to clarify that i dont get anything from a Spurs stand point, i get it from a Southampton stand point. what i have been saying since Pochettino gave a rather evasive press conference a little while back was that HE wants Spurs.
The Saints new 5 year plan includes stabilizing and remaining top of *there* League, something that Adam Lallana alluded to in an interview he gave to the press after the rumor sprang about Liverpools interest a few days ago. Pochettino is not in any way shape or form happy with that, he wants to push on.
He is aware of the interest from Spurs and has been since AVB was sacked, if anyone thinks this *sit down with the owners and talk about the next 5 years crap is legitimate you are mental, he already knows the lay of the land and it isnt grand enough..baring Saints changing there outlook massively Poch will want to come here first.
Im not ITK im just telling you guys what i am being told and stuff i *cough* overhear.
Greyfox could well be spot on with his info, but looking at it from a Pochettino point of view, the noises are that he is inward bound.
That makes a lot more sense to me. I don't buy for one second its dependent on what Southampton are doing unless the landscape is about to change radically in the ambition stakes down there. If we decide to offer him the job and he's genuinely interested in pushing on with his career at a Club that aspire higher than his current one I fail to see how these talks with his current employers would change anything - unless of course he's not that fussed about coming to us - but I don't believe that's the case given his evasive quotes of late.
