Don't cry for me... Pochettino

[david in sweden]

How can we forget the furore surrounding Mauricio Pochettino's arrival (not to mention Adkins' dismissal) ..and those amazed responses of ..who

 

We learned of MP's reputation (somewhat tainted by Espanyols' relegation - oh well, it can happen to the best) and then his friendship and admiration for Jose Mourinho (no less).

 

Since when many of us seem to have happily embraced the Pochettino effect, (and the players double-training). So imagine the surprise...to hear that Mourinho has " recommended " MP as the next manager at ....Real Madrid. At least... there...MP would be prepared to answer his own questions from the media.

 

Surely a cue for Nicola Cortese to give him a 5 year contract?. (However contracts, as we have sometimes seen ....aren't worth the paper they're printed on )

 

It is, at any rate, a feather in MP's cap......or could it just be ....a back- handed way for Mourinho to get rid of one of his most-dangerous rivals

Don't remind me of the Adkins fiasco it is a stain on our club that will fade but never be erased.

 

As for the rest of your post it is pure speculation but we are a small club having a great season so of course our best players and manager will be linked with other clubs it will be a measure of our ambition how we respond should such speculation transform into offers.

Your thread title could make a decent song if there are any lyrical geniuses in the house!

There is a genuinely decent chant for MP somewhere in that song.

 

Unfortunately we won't get to hear it until Pochettino becomes manager of Man City. And then three years after that the Northam adapt it to a quicker sh ittier song about whoever our manager is then and Portsmouth.

OOPS ....No you're right ...he was sacked, but they did manage to avoid relegation ....

[JoeShmoe]

Don't be surprised if his name comes up next week when AVB gets sacked

He was actually well thought of for the most part, but yes, there is no denying he had a shocker at the start of last season.

 

He had previously been touted in the media as a potential to for the job, whilst still manager at Espanyol.

Mauricio Pochettino

The truth is, you cut down Owen

But now you're with us

A Saint not sinner

You'll take us forward

You are a winner.

 

Ok, I'll get my coat.

Brilliant! That did actually make me laugh.

 

Don't cry for me Tony Pulis,

The truth is you managed pompey

All through your dark days

Now you're with us

We support you

Not the pompey scum

Dont cry for us Nigel Adkins,

The truth is cortese stabbed you,

All through your good days,

Won no Silverware,

He showed you the door,

We'll miss you evermore

[Shroppie]

Just repeating Mauricio Pochettino again and again to the first line might actually work - and is reasonably easy to remember.

[Turkish]

na na na na Pochentio

na na na na na

na na na na na

He hates pompey

na na na

He's better than Richie Barker

At Spurs away last season I got battered and spent the entire train journey from WHL to Seven Sisters singing:

 

Don't Cry for me Pochetino

The truth is you'll never leave us

Even on bad days

We play great football

You kept your promise...

And took us to Europe

 

Repeat...

 

OK, he hasn't got us to Europe yet and everyone else on the carriage thought I was a wrongun. **** 'em, up the Saints!

And it begins.

Give that man a job. A very decent effort and would live to sing that at the next match.

[Shroppie]

Don't you dare leave Pochettino

The truth is, we really love you

That man Cortese

He can go crazy

So don't be reckless

And in any case Spurs are really cr@p and long term you'll do much better here.

 

Ok, so the last line doesn't quite scan, but nearly there.
