The Poch has been confirmed as manager thread!

[portogirl]

Five year contract...no mention of break clauses

 

[spursfan77]

On the basis Southampton fans are gutted and everyone in the media are saying its a massive loss for them tells me that it's a good appointment.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Nice, good decision Mauricio "TinoYid"! The man got some balls.

 

[dondo]

...and Jol with Santini.

In fact, we do it more often than not.

Also with the DOFs we have had over the years, we really dont give our manager the best chance to succeed do we?

 

[yidstreet]

5 YEARS, Sounds like the starting of Porridge, Norman Stanley Pochettino, you will go to Spurs for 5 years.

 

[easley91]

Five years!?

Don't know if that's good or bad -_-

It's good, if Levy has the patience to see it through when we likely hit an eventual bad patch.

 

[Ledleys Knee]

Absolutely fucking delighted.

I am decidedly underwhelmed. However, whilst he was not my first choice, I will be fully supportive and really want him to succeed.

Lets give the bloke a chance. COYS!

"Tottenham Hotspur has a huge following across the world and I have great admiration for the passion the fans show for this team"

He didn't visit White Hart Lane last season then??

Only the second time a DoF has properly appointed the coach though (like is supposed to happen; skirt over what happened last time *cough Ramos* though)

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Italian translation of Pochettino is "Little Bit" I am told... So going to start using that instead of Poch.

Well he did once but we came from 2 goals down to win so I guess the atmosphere might have been good towards the end of the game.

Why is nobody is ever whelmed

[bomberH]

Anyone else think he resembles Daniel Bedingfield?

Spoiler

 

[NickHSpurs]

Lets all take a moment to spare a thought for poor old Yaya, City didn't even get him a card for his birthday, Soldado got a new manager!

 

[TheAmerican]

Btw, we now know who he brought with him:


"Mauricio is joined by Jesús Pérez (Assistant Head Coach), Miguel D'Agostino (First Team Coach) and Toni Jiménez (Goalkeeper Coach) with whom he previously worked at both Southampton and Espanyol."

[VegasII]

Has he done an interview out of a car window yet?

I guess the translator will have to lean over the space between the passenger seat and the door. Either that or run about a bit alongside.

If he gets the team playing shexy football like Jol did and gets them running about like Harry did then we'll be okay...I think...

...yeah, Freund was clearly entirely AVBs choice for assistant. I also imagine him and Tony Parks go way back.

So we should sack every body on our staff when getting a new manager, don't forget AVB brought in the same amount of coaches with him. Freund was brought in to help him settle

Tony parks was a member of the coaching staff before. We have loads of coaches that continue working with out anyone knowing who they are
