washsaint Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 TBH......all those people saying he was sure to be off in the summer were basing that on what exactly? Every interview Pochettino has seemed committed and talking about the future, etc. Hopefully he will sign an extended contract and we will buy 3/4 players that will move our progression on further. If we had clinical strikers (like SRL used to be) I am convinced we would be in 5th/6th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 I would think that MP is free to choose his assistants. His is fiercely loyal at a personnel level. They'd all be getting new deals too. Be interesting to see if his new deal entails any further responsibility, particularly in the transfer market. I do wonder sometimes what sort of players he'd like at a personal level for his system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 (edited) I would think that MP is free to choose his assistants. Yeah, I know that, was just wondering if the deal would be negotiated as one whole package for all of them or he gets sorted and their's get done as and when. Doesn't really matter, I just realised I don't know how that side of football works. Potentially good news for the club, would be good to have it all signed and sealed before the end of the season.

Saint Charlie Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 Will be the best signing of 2014 if he stays, and should help to keep some of our better players at the Club. Really is important to keep him. You don't do well by losing Managers of his quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 He hasn't signed yet. Always makes me wonder how and why these things get in the press before they're done, or not done. Simples! It's his agent baiting the hook and dangling it in the water to see if there are any other clubs willing to show any interest with a bigger pay cheque to take a slice of.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 11 March, 2014 Share Posted 11 March, 2014 has someone hacked your account? thats a turn around and a half. No turnaround. Praise when you can (as i do) but not unconditionally We have been on a poor run 4 wins in 18 + 2 x cup knockouts.... I cant praise to much during that period.

But he has shown potnetial and i like the style of football we play. His body language? Not the best, but then he hasnt signed a new contract yet If negotiations have been dragging on a month, hes not exactly jumping to sign and commit his fiture to saints forever.

JoeShmoe Posted 11 March, 2014 Share Posted 11 March, 2014 If true, you'd like to think KL has told him that were prepared to knock back the incoming offers for half our first team, and invest for next season I want to believe this is true but contracts mean F*** all in football sadly.

Fan The Flames Posted 11 March, 2014 Share Posted 11 March, 2014 This is no surprise really, he wasn't just going to walk out if a job in top flight football. I suspect there will be suitors in the summer knocking on the door, back in Spain and may be Spurs. It's going to be an interesting summer.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 11 March, 2014 Share Posted 11 March, 2014 Would be excellent news if he signs up IMO. If the player interviews are to be believed, they seem to hold him in high regard and enjoy working for him. I'm pretty sure I've read Schneiderlin, Shaw and Lallana talk him up in recent months and any hope of convincing them to stay in the summer could depend on him staying too.

fanimal Posted 11 March, 2014 Share Posted 11 March, 2014 Double edged sword fellow ST Holders - if the best players resist the mega bucks from up the M3 or M6 then under the FFP rules our prices for next season will be much higher, well above RPI I would suggest. To keep them I would be happy to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
