Good manager on a par with Redknapp, long way to go before he could be considered on the level of a Burkinshaw let alone Nicholson. The manager I have most effection for was Jol. After growing in the '90s that 05 side was the first I saw that represented real change in the club.
Will be the FA/Europa double and finish 2nd.The FA cup would be very fitting this season, think we'll win it.
He has already surpassed him in league performances, as Burkinshaw didn't finish higher than 4th in the top league (he did finish 3rd in Div 2) but cup wise, yeah, a long way to go. It took Burkinshaw 5 seasons to get his first cup though.Good manager on a par with Redknapp, long way to go before he could be considered on the level of a Burkinshaw let alone Nicholson.

Sorry mate, have to disagree. Pochettino pisses all over Redknapp in every way, the football we play, the coaching the tactical application. I go back to Terry Neill and Pochettino is without a shadow of doubt the best coach I've seen at Spurs. I loved watching that Burkinshaw team but they couldn't defend and in retrospect I feel let down that he wasted probably the best group of offensive players we've ever had at one time (in context of the time and opposition), at a time when we had no piers financially, we could compete with ManU and Arsenal for any player (and did and often won Linaker, Waddle, Gascoigne, Brazil etc). Under Burkinshaw we were like Arsenal have been for the last few years, played great football - the best in the league - but never competed for the title.
The only time we've been remotely as "complete" and tactically efficient was that brief spell under Pleat in 86/7.
Pochettino is managing in the toughest, fittest, most talented and tactically proficient English league there has ever been. None of the contenders (Burkinshaw, Pleat, Job, Redknapp) had it this tough, yet none achieved what he has.
Sorry but it's incredibly obvious how much more sustainable the success of this side is than that of Redknapp's.I don't see how anyone could say that he pisses over Redknapp when their respective results at the club are relatively comparable. Pochettinho succeeded in achieving our highest league placing in the PL era but Redknapp achieved far greater success in his CL campaign. Neither have won anything at the club despite the resources available to them. And that should be thee measure here because the bar was set by Burkinshaw and it has yet to be matched let alone surpassed in over 30 years. The irony about your comments about Burkinshaw is that apply more so to Redknapp who largely squandered that side. To have that personnel available and to not win anything says something. Sadly I suspect we are doing the same now, we are following the same strategy as before so why would the outcome be any different but I hope I am wrong in that regard. I would certainly dispute the notion that this is the most talented and tactically proficient English league there has been. I think the standard and quality of the league has regressed in recent years and that has been reflected in the dismal European campaigns by English sides.

Also, compare our side which had a massive run at the top 4 in 2005-06 to Everton's current side, which can't get near the top 6. Of course the depth of quality in this league has improved. That can't be denied. We have no side of the quality of the chelsea or United sides of that era, thus the lack of competing in the latter stages of the CL, but every other position in the league from about 4th down is as strong as it's been.

I thought you only cared about cups?
Redknapp and Jol didn't win any.
Surely your favourite managers are Graham and Ramos?
1) We have the youngest squad in the league.If it so obvious then why not state the rationale for such a statement? In what way is this side more sustainable than that one?
7. Redknapp was instrumental in the development of the careers of Modric, Bale, Walker and Rose. Modric was terrible when he first arrived, that was reversed by moving him out wide and brininging him back into the centre when he was ready nearly season later. It was also Redknapp who started the process of Bale moving to become a wing forward whilst it he who turned Rose into a left back. It was also his use of the loan system that has came a massive bearing on the careers of the likes of Rose, Walker and Kane.
Modric wasn't terrible when he first arrived he just took time to adapt and also had his leg broken by Lee Bowyer if memory serves correct.
Bale did improve under Redknapp but for large parts of his time with him we considered selling Bale as he couldn't win a game. AVB turned Bale into the monster he became.
Walker was pretty poor under Redknapp and has only really been achieving his potential under Poch.
Rose was pushed to left back Sunderland not Redknapp and we all wanted him gone until Poch made him the winner and best left back in the league. Rose even said he never got coaching to play the position under Redknapp.
Yes we played some great stuff under Redknapp but we always lacked the winning mentality and we fell at the final hurdle almost every time.
Compare that to what Poch has done with Walker, Rose, Eriksen, Kane, Alli, Dier, Lamela and Dembele and you should be able to spot the difference. Redknapp get's fourth and its the best we could hope for. Also don't forget Redknapp basically saying we should of sold Modric to Chelsea. Could you imagine Poch doing the same? Poch get's third and wants to gut half the players and change the mentality. Spot the winner.
Walker was far from poor under Redknapp. He won PFA young player of the year 2011/12 and was named in the 2011/12 team of the year.
We did not ALL want Rose gone at all.
