Mauricio Pochettino

[rossdapep]

Is there any truth in the 'rumour' that he had an agreement with PSG he wouldn't take a job until summer 2023? Therefore he can't even reveal his next job.

Sounds odd to me.

But even those posts from Perez were very bizarre

Let it go mate, if he was coming back he'd be here by now.

For me the Poch chants and flags etc are more about a desire to regain the culture and connection to the club that he generated at Spurs, rather than demand the man himself specifically. I mean, I'll admit that I'd bloody love him back. But a project where the players, coaches and fans are all back in harmony again is all we really want.

Thats it completely... it's blood odd that so many on this forum have developed an anti Poch stance considering how disconnected the majority of our fanbase has been with the club since he left.

i know i'd look past any of his flaws to have that feeling back with the club i love. or of course to build that with another manager

I'll take the hit, but I feel it's largely non match going fans who didn't experience WHL in those 3 seasons pre-wembley. We had something so special and we knocked it down for a beavertown brewery and shite pop concerts.

Sorry, grumpy football romantic moan.

I agree mate - those seasons were magic - unbeaten at the Lane, smashing teams left and right - even beating Madrid at Wembley and going in to every game feeling like we could roll anyone over.

i honestly can't fathom how anyone has anything bar admiration for the man, the new stadium as aesthetically nice as it is has knocked some of the soul out of this club, maybe it is just the brand of football we have been playing but honestly barring a couple of games the atmosphere is largely shite, i had a party over in Bermondsey a few months ago so me and the old man met up with a couple of his pals from old and went and watched Millwall, the stadium was a shithole the food was rank as was the beer but it felt like football.

Anti Poch? So anyone that doesn't think he's the best choice is anti Poch? My personal opinion is there are other options I'd rather we explore despite loving him for what he did for us. Am I anti Poch in your opinion?

Don't be silly, of course not everyone who doesn't want him is anti-Poch even though i'd take him back i'd probably prefer a Slot/Kompany at this stage but if you haven't seen an Anti-Poch rhetoric on here you haven't been looking.

"People just want Daddy home" " The Pochettes" a lot of rewriting of his time here, it wasn't all great as with any manager but it was a damn sight better than anything that has come since, not just the football but the feeling around the club as a whole.

Man that final season at the lane...

Im not crying you're crying.

I think it's only a tiny minority of quite vocal posters that actually talk down about Poch. Probably less than 1% of the posters on here tbh.

As others have said, I think the constant pining over him is basically pining over a feeling they had in a time and situation that has now passed. I reckon a lot of fans have convinced themselves that if Poch comes back everything will be fine again and we'll see a repeat of the 2015-2018 magic. They want to feel like they did back then and bringing back Poch is the simple, obvious way to do that...as if football's ever that simple.

Love the man but I reckon the painful reality of Poch not living up to his first stint would eclipse the nostalgic joy of him returning and actually taint our memory of him in the long run. All those singing his name now will be grumbling the same old grumbles within a couple of months once the honeymoon period fades and it becomes evident he can't recapture the magic of 16-17.

If he does come back I'll be excited and will 100% support him but beyond the romance will be fully expecting it to end in tears.

Think we need to look forward not backwards, personally.

It was under an even worse owner, but I look at Keegan's return to Newcastle as a perfect example has to how it can go wrong.

That is the point though, which baffles me is that how can that vocal minority have watched the last 4 years and harbour an anti Poch sentiment?

You're probably right that it would end in tears, and it is definitely nostalgia and the feeling that period brought, but i want that connection between fans/management/club again whether it's Poch or not and so do i imagine the majority of fans, supporting your team shouldn't be a chore whether you are fighting at the top of the league or just midtable - pride and passion are what make football football, we haven't had that barring a few fleeting moments in a while.

You're probably right tha

Yeah tbh I don't get the outright anti-Poch stuff at all.

Like, sure, he didn't win anything and it got a little messy towards the end, but he's still the best thing to happen to this club in 30 years. Just feels weirdly contrarian and petulant to me. Acting like spoiled Chelsea fans.

I think that you've probably answered your own question - it would probably end in tears. TBF that might well be the case whoever comes in but although I can't see it being Poch I would like someone who would generate the same kind of affection like Poch or Jol. That's the perception I have of Slot and I think that others are also recognising that.

Doesn't really make sense though does it? Not thinking/wanting Poch to come back isn't the anti Poch sentiment i am talking about, as i said i would prefer to go down a different path but equally if we were to get Poch i would be happy about it.

In talks with Chelsea.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

Chelsea have held initial talks with Mauricio Pochettino over the manager position at Stamford Bridge.

It is understood the former Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham coach is one of five candidates at this stage of the process.

Mauricio Pochettino: Chelsea hold talks with former Tottenham boss as they continue manager search

Chelsea are looking for a new manager after sacking Graham Potter; Blues also parted company with Thomas Tuchel earlier this season and are being lead by former boss Frank Lampard on an interim basis until the end of the season; Mauricio Pochettino is available after leaving PSG last year

God I dunno if I can handle it if Poch goes Chelsea. Might have to get into tennis or something instead.
