Mauricio Pochettino staying as Southampton manager - Official

Meulensteen comparable record is from a much smaller sample of only 8 games compared to Pochettino being one short of 38 games.

 

Meulensteen in those 8 games is averaging 1.125 points per game compared with Pochettino's 1.324. Over 38 games that would be...

 

- Meulensteen 42.75 points

- Pochettino 50.3 points

 

 

You know times are hard when you have to dissect and manipulate FULHAMS' results ffs :lol:

Its great that Poch is staying, for now. The issue for me is that his contract is up at the end of the season, It worries me that he may now decide not to renew due to the departure of NC, his close friend.

 

 

his contract isn't up at the end of the season, well not as far as I know anyway. In theory he's here until the end of the 14/15 season but that could be just an option year for all we know.

As Pochettino hasn't yet completed a full season, but is one game away from managing the club for 38 league games I don't see the problem looking at how many points he earnt in roughly one season as an indication as to how well he has done.

 

Mr X and yourself are saying a win ratio of 32% isn't great, but that fails to consider that the draws he gained when added to those wins actually add up to a high number of points. To be dismissive of a win ratio of 32% win ratio and not take into account how points the manager has earnt is bizarre.

 

- Over his entire 37 games he has enough points for roughly 8th place in a 38 game season (so a game in hand as well).

- Over 21 games this season he has enough points for a position of 9th in the current table.

 

That is not poor.

 

And if you look at the "corresponding fixtures" method of scoring we are 9 points ahead of where we were for the equivalent fixtures, so on course for a 50 point season. I am still backing my original assertion that we will finish on 55 points this season.

Are you aware how that 32% record in Premier League games works out in terms of points?

 

Played: 37

Won: 12

Drawn: 13

Lost: 12

 

Win Percentage 32%

 

That is 49 points from 37 games.

 

In 2012/13, 49 points would have been enough for 8th place and he'd have a game in hand.

How big is the Cup for 8th place nowadays MSG?

Bloody brilliant news. Now onto the Sunderland game.

 

Hopefully come the summer we'll have the clear picture of where things are going.

 

A lovely two fingers to the dross written in the papers this morning.

 

Good news indeed. However, i think that the summer will be less than clear and that is the time that we will get the most upheaval. I expect a sale of the club after the season ends, and as always, it will be messy.

 

Other that, I'm still happy with today's events!

Sensible man. Slept on it, made a good decision. He is probably upset but time heals especially if we do well. I wouldn't bet against a new contract in due course. Next step a first class business CEO to carry on. Katharina came to Southampton to hold this together, a good move. If she gets the staff onside the dream is on again. If she wants to sell it would be sensible to keep the dream going.

My feelings as well.

Hoping MP stays with an extended contract at season close.:)

 

For me... KL to continue with the club and the right CEO to run the show on her behalf if necessary.

 

Would not be unhappy with her running the show with just a Director of football....

 

She may decide that is what her father would truly want..

 

Not sure what will

happen to Les Reed through all this.

 

 

COYS....3 points at Sunderland and go for the FA Cup........

 

Miss Liebherr stood taking phots as we collect the winners trophy.......Yes...her dad would be proud:D

You all forget that if you look at an undefeated ratio we are running at 68% of games played undefeated, as said before lies lies and damn statistics.

No everything was wonderful under Cortese, the food was crap, the loos are always flooded and stinking, the programmes are firkin useless because of their weird size and the rain blows onto spectators even though there's a roof of sorts overhead and don't get me started about car parking fees when you have to queue for tickets. Just remember this fellow fans amongst your pink tinted eulogies... what was done for us except being fleeced very weekend?

Aside from the parking charges (which go towards revenue and FFP) and changing the size of the programmes, how is that any different than before? Food has always been poor, weather is uncontrollable, the loos have always been to a minimum requirement and ticket office queues are inevitable.

 

Unless I've missed your sarcasm, then carry on

Aside from back-to-back promotions and a surge up the premier league you mean?

Hope you had money on that, Jonny. ;)

 

Not sure if the odds were very good but if my boss quit, doesnt mean Im going to even if we got on quite well and we once had a few glasses of wine together.

 

Especially if Im in a great role, working with colleagues I like and making good money on a secure contract.

 

(Even if KL had cheated on NC with GDP).

Glad Pochettino is staying, that is definitely good news in that it is stabilising for the club in these uncertain times and is perhaps the best chance we had of not losing key players. I hope his commitment to last until the summer rings true.

 

Have we heard from any players today? I've been at work today so aside from following TalkSport I don't know the goings on of the day. It'd be comforting to hear from, say, Kelvin, just to know what the concensus is like in the dressing room.

Whatever we hear though is likely to be a media friendly, sanitised version though isn't it ?

Funny i thought that the spanish version was far less committal than the translated version, and that some of the complexities and subtleties were lost in translation.

 

But as he was listening to his translator express in English what he had just said in Spanish and he corrected him on a couple of occasions when his translation was wrong, I don't think there's an issue with what we heard from the translator.

As anyone in a relationship knows you can say I'm fine in exactly the same words but the meaning can be different.

 

Nuance in language is something that is very difficult to translate.

Ha ha vintage MLG. True, though!
