Please explain: from where does this faith in Mauricio Pochettino arise?

A poster found this gem and gave it a rating. I truly wanted Benitez or FDB.

Ecstatic to have been WRONG. Dead WRONG.

What about your posts on lamela? Considering he's recently had an op

I can't think of a manager who didn't have the fans turning against him eventually and it will happen to Poch as well.

Unless he leaves before it happens

I don't like doing quotes likes this, but something from the Dark Knight feels apt when it comes to football managers: "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

....unless you're Fergie

I saw plenty of fans turn against Fergie towards the end of his reign.

Agreed. For about five years leading up to his eventual retirement know nothing glory hunters with a sense of entitlement were complaining he'd lost it.

Thatd be the 5 years where Chelsea and Man City could suddenly compete financially and pissed on their monopoly.

Can't remember those 3 games . Our endless sideways passing helped cure my insomnia very quickly.

I'm in full health thank you very much

I just read first dozen pages of this thread lol
To be fair it did seem to take Poch a long while to sort out fairly glaringly obvious issues and to be honest I don't think anyone thought we'd get to where we are now. I certainly didn't think we'd ever be in a situation where we've a chance of the double, even if it is a slim chance.
This is why you give managers time.

Whoever started this thread must feel like a bit of a bollock.

This thread is great fun. A guy lambasting Levy for not getting us Lescott and Bony is one of the highlights.

Thanks @Mullers - knew that you would inject an unromantic note into the proceedings

The worst thing about this thread is the missed opportunity to use the word "whence" in the title.

There are a plethora of Pochettino threads so didn't know where to post this , but as this is on the front page and has loads of comments it seems as good a place as any.

From - http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/04/2...confirms-no-contact-over-argentina-job-expla/

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been commenting about his future at White Hart Lane. He spoke to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser today, where he discussed his vision to remain at Spurs for a long time.

The Argentine stated:

"I would love to be here as long as possible, I like to work long-term thinking.

“For me, this is the most popular club in London,"

Tottenham fans will be very pleased to hear such words from their manager. He has become a firm favourite with the fans after the improvements he has made to the side, turning them into title challengers since arriving from Southampton in 2014.

He has seen his name linked with some big names whilst at Spurs. Barcelona are one team who are said to be keen on his services, as is his national team of Argentina.

Both are currently on the look out for new managers. But Pochettino confirmed once again to Cadena Ser that he could not work for Barcelona given his extensive history with city rivals Espanyol. He then went on to admit he would love to one day manage his country, but no contact has been made about the current Albiceleste vacancy:

“The AFA (Argentine Football Association) has never contacted me. (But) every coach has a dream to train their national team."

Tottenham fans will be hoping that Pochettino’s desire to manage his nation is not something he envisages doing until the advent of his managerial career.

If he stays at the club until then, not many fans would be disappointed.
