ToreSF Posted 20 January, 2013 Share Posted 20 January, 2013 Any ideas on who Pochettino will bring along? Although his english probably is better than most believe, it would surely be smart to have a british assistant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 According to this morning's papers they are Toni Jimenez Sistachs aged 42 Spanish goalkeeper and Toni Borrell aged 38 also from Spain. Both were with Pochettino at Espanyol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 (edited) Goalkeeping coach rather implies Kelvin Davis won't be kept on as goalkeeping coach. two birds one stone, Jiminez is Pochettino's assistant and a GK coach to boot,Davis will probably be out of here to the next club that puts in a loan offer. I put up a link to all this yesterday on another thread with exactly the same subject. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?42576-Who-are-the-back-room-staff Edited 21 January, 2013 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 Kelvin Davis might do what Murty did and work with the academy. As Pochettino had a meeting with 3 senior players, one of whom was Kelvin Davis, he is clearly valued and I think after he retires he will have a role at this club in some capacity.

eurosaint Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 What I don't like is that there has been no official announcement (I can't find anything on the OS!) that anyone other than Nigel has left ? Surely there could have been some words of thanks to Crosbie, Wilkins etc.. who all played a big part in our recent successive promotions ! Also no official mention of these new Spanish guys, I realise that we are just the punters, here to pay our money and accept what is done without question, but as far as communication goes, it is pretty cr#p IMHO !! Edit : seems it's just been done now, 4 days after the first announcement ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping it brings even better fortunes for Saints. Now we've seen what staff he will bring it will be interesting to see if we sign anyone who is a manger fave from another or ex-club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai27 Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 I've just realized that in order for Tadanari Lee to understand what the f**k is going on, Pochettino will originally speak to the team which will then be translated by his Spanish translator who will then say it in English then Lee's translator will translate it and pass it on to him... Chinese whispers anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of the EPL on TV - I'm not sure that qualifies me to manage a PL club. I'd have a go if asked though, its good money for at least 2.5 years even if I f*cked up - which I would obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you were already a top order coach in some top flight league, an ex-international having played in 3 or 4 countries you might be up to the job then mighten you ? Far too much is being made of nationality here, soon there will be few English managers in the PL at all. English mentality to football seems to be dragging them down, fiery scots seem to get along fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
