The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The SOS Edition 14th May 2014

[C-oops]

They are, but when Eatson is involved I get a bit anti. One cannot discount the possibility that JJ is feeding him stale bread for laughs.

Just mentioning that guy makes my teeth itch.

You should look at some of the pictures he posts of himself... you'll vomit yourself inside out...

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Why has FDB completely dropped out of the running, surely its not because he answered a few journo questions? After all LVG was mouthing off about us for months. I just can't figure out why it would only be between Poch and Rafa.

 

[worcestersauce]

So either Benitez or Pochottino with de Boer as a fall back, that'll do me for a start.

JJ has said was/is not just between Rafa and Poch hasn't he?

Maybe, its quit hard to keep up with all his tweets. It does seem that most ITK is pointing to Poch which is fine if we have interviewed FDB and decided he's not right for the job... but i get the feeling we haven't which makes no sense if true.

 

[Lilbaz]

Benitez is amoung the top 10 paid managers in the world. That's a lot of compo if he does badly.

 

[Breezer]

I still think FDB will have an interview and a chance to impress.

Okay, I understand.

I totally agree. If FDB hasn't been given an interview it really is a massive mistake on our behalf.

I'm not against Poch as he does seem to get the best out of his squad, which is something we really need, however I just feel missing out on FDB would mean we were left sitting here in 10 years wondering why he has won everything in the game and we passed up the opportunity even to interview him.

Benitez has won CL, Europa league, La Liga, FA Cup

Pochettino has never managed a team in a European competition or won any silverware

It really should be a no brainer

Team Levy FTW

Nor had Rogers or Martinez before their moves to Merseyside. Just saying...

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Sorry no...reference to the following in the read only for those who haven't seen already...

So neither of them want FDB

 

[Sum Monsterism]

Benitez is amoung the top 10 paid managers in the world. That's a lot of compo if he does badly.

1 Pep Guardiola, Bayern Munich, £14.8m
2 Jose Mourinho, Chelsea, £8.37m
4 Arsene Wenger, Arsenal, £6.89m
6 Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid, £6.26m
8 Tata Martino, Barcelona, £4.5m
9 Jurgen Klopp, Borussia Dortmund, £3.59m
10 Manuel Pellegrini, Man City, £3.47m
12 Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool, £3.25m
13 Sam Allardyce, West Ham, £2.95m
15 Rafa Benitez, Napoli, £2.92m


If wet spam can afford to boot sam...

 

[Japhet]

I am with the chairman, just, but understand where the owner is coming from.

In spite of the perceived 'revolving door' I think the Chairman desperately wants some long term stability. Maybe he thinks Pochettino cab deliver on that front.

 

[Booney]

I haven't had a decent Spurs man-crush since Rafa and AVB left.

For that reason it has to be Poch for me.

Read a different list. That doesn't look too bad.

 

[dantheyid]

1st choice FDB
2nd choice poch
3rd choice rafa

Now if we get rafa I'm gonna be happy as he's one of my choices, a lot of us seem to have our hearts set on just 1 of the 3 so seem to be anti the other 2.

We need to realise that all 3 have pros and cons and whoever we get will not please everyone, so as long as it's not moyes we will see an improvement next season

 

[absolute bobbins]

Is it true what I've heard, Jonathan Barnett is Pochettino's new agent?

I heard that too a few minutes ago on a Facebook Group. So it must be true.

Oh, it's on Facebook? Never mind then

If serial championships with far and away the wealthiest club in a crap league where there's no serious competition are the criterion, Neil Lennon should also be in the running.
