Snopper Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 I just wonder whether MoPo is waiting to see if certain players will be leaving rather than certain players waiting to see if he will still be here. Either way it`s RK`s first priority to sort it. And quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 The board have to decide the direction of the club over the next few years...dare I say it put another "5 year plan" in place. If that is in line with what Pochettino wants to achieve, then he will sign. As log as this is ambitious i'm confident our players will stay, unless a ridiculous offer comes in.

If that is in line with what Pochettino wants to achieve, then he will sign. As log as this is ambitious i'm confident our players will stay, unless a ridiculous offer comes in. I think you can read between the lines to see what the Board want the future of the club to be - they want to retain an identity but we must be sustainable i.e. not be reliant on cash injections from the owner. The first part of that appears to be ensuring we maintain what we've got but that appears to be linked with increasing commercial revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 He speaks a lot of sense doth Mr Lambert Although it's strange that he feels the need to get involved. When MP was being linked with Marseille last week (or was it the week before) the reporters seemed fairly certain that MP was an easy target because his salary was ridiculously low compared to any decent manager (half of what they were paying Baup before they sacked him, thus MP is probably only on 20K£ a week). Perhaps he really does get a significant rise in his emoluments and contract terms if we finish 8th and thus we're just waiting for that to happen.

Dig Dig Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 “I think it’s important that you hear the things you want to hear – that players are not going to get sold, that we’re going to be trying to push on again next year and progress the way we’ve been progressing the last few years,” He must have missed all the talk of return to traditional badge, stripes and a possible return of the fans forum. The rest is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 Well Krueger did say in a recent interview he's trying to get a bigger budget. Would make sense that MP is waiting on that before committing his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon player wages and transfer fees alone would gobble up 70 - 80% of that. Could easily see how it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 (edited) Complete sense from Lambert as usual. Will be a massive blow if Pochettino went and a huge boost if he signed a new deal. He has improved some of our players immeasurably. “I think once the gaffer’s signed then I think that’s going to reassure everyone and that will give everyone else confidence of the direction we’re going to go.” Everyone being players and fans.

Window Cleaner Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 So should not be made into too big a deal about him signing up asap. Although I can't see him actually starting a new season without a better contract, he is very poorly paid (compared to other PL managers) by all accounts. Finishing 8th might well correct that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 So should not be made into too big a deal about him signing up asap. Don't think it's ideal having any important member of staff with just a year left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 Don't think it's ideal having any important member of staff with just a year left on his contract. But he hasn't just got a year left of his contract currently. It would obviously be good if he put pen to paper and would be important symbolically, but we're only in March 2014, not really an issue yet.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk NO pal, just using the same rationale that was used on here between January-March 2013 when Nigel Adkins went from being the greatest manager we've ever had, the next great England manager and the new Alex Ferguson to being a clueless, grinning bumpkin who was out of his depth. Well done on the Turds though, hilarious. How long did it take you to think that up Cul-De-Sac Saint? PMSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 20 March, 2014 Share Posted 20 March, 2014 Interesting to think Poch is described as being comparatively poorly paid for his role. Because we know other senior executives at SFC were trousering gigantic pay packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has improved some of our players immeasurably. Everyone being players and fans. I think it will read . The players. Most fans will be satisfied (though some can never be so ) but our real fans are with us through thick and thin. IF we can give MP a good deal, he'll be happy and many of the players will be happy to stay on ...instead of moving, (although I agree one or two will surely move.)
