david in sweden Posted 15 December, 2013 Share Posted 15 December, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1ex2001 Posted 15 December, 2013 Share Posted 15 December, 2013 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.

Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance 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.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 15 December, 2013 Share Posted 15 December, 2013 OOPS ....No you're right ...he was sacked, but they did manage to avoid relegation .... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackanorySFC Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 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!

Shroppie Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
