St_Tel49 Posted 30 April, 2014 Share Posted 30 April, 2014 it's the 'lets see what happens' when asked about leaving the club, that makes people believe something is in it It could mean "If Poch stays so do I" - who knows? You seem to be desperately reading between lines to no useful purpose. The fundamental message coming out of the club across the board is "We are focussed on our next match - the time to discuss these things is at the end of the season" Lallana is no more than on message with the club stance.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 April, 2014 Share Posted 30 April, 2014 Here we go again. SWF's equivalent of Alex Goring Crook. I think you get a bit confused so I've decided to help you out. The last time you was satisfied with the end product was when I shared the Osvaldo information. (You continued to question it even though I shared the exact details with the exception of his shirt number). Just because events haven't been confirmed,become public knowledge immediately or even finalised such as Lukaku's enquiry, the January targets, Astori DVD, Forren's training programme, Dani Benitez and much more (Adidas kit/Cortese, previous transfer targets in L1 & Champ, events behind the scenes). It doesn't make them untrue just because you personally haven't seen proof. There has been one or two wide of the mark but I have self admitted my 'sources' or their position in the game and I even publicly doubt any validating that particular person may have. I share things I hear and things I know, make sure you do not confuse the two in the future. Additionally I'd be happy enough to post a photo of my old staff visitors pass but I'm sure you'll dress it up as a fake or something degrading. You clearly enjoy and engaging in things I share otherwise you would have blocked me and believe it or not this is the point of a forum. I've never once said the contract is happening or is real, I passed on a surprising snippet from somebody in the game who has never expressed anything ITK before and I have also gone on record saying I doubt it's validility but I'm sure the others appreciated it. So stop with your love-in with me, I won't be dragged into a **** measuring competition with you over claiming to be ITK, I'm sure you'll find all my posts asking not to be refered to that. I still have all your PMs trying to befriend me and claim you have heard the same stuff. It's a shame, I'm sure your a lovely bloke in real life but your the busiest key board warrior on here. Since youre offering the visitors pass - why not? I dont doubt you Monk I really dont, but I know others do (they doubt everything, rather than just you btw). You have listed a few of the ITK exclusives that you have posted and that have not come to light - you will understannd why some dont trust you? Im not one of them, I trust you - I trust everyone Why would anyone come on here and lie - thats my view on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneysaint17 Posted 2 May, 2014 Share Posted 2 May, 2014 Old friend of mine claims to know someone at the club (I know he knows all of the ex players very well). Didn't saying anything new, but said he'd been told Pochettino was very likely to leave and that if he did, Lallana and Shaw would be gone to. Dull/old news/bedwetting I know but thought I may as well share. Must add that I have no idea whether he is actually ITK but can't see any reason why he'd lie! p.s. dont acuse me of "trolling", just sharing what I'd heard from him.

Alain Perrin Posted 3 May, 2014 Share Posted 3 May, 2014 Probably the only people who know are KL, King Ralph and MP; maybe Les Reed and MPs other half. In truth, until something is signed it could all change. My assumption is that MP is already fairly minted, so it'll be about the size of the opportunity (and funds available) rather than package. The question is does he think he could get more out of a bunch of big money, underperforming players at Spurs or up and coming stars at Saints (i.e. How keen are the board to keep hold of the in demand players is a factor). It does feel a bit like a house of cards though. If MP goes I expect a bit of an exodus. Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_276 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 3 May, 2014 Share Posted 3 May, 2014 If the board have the inkling that MP is off in the summer, I hope they are lining up the replacement. MP might go, but if we bring in another manager with a good reputation then it won't be the end of the world for me. Same with our players, if they go they will go for top dollar. I will be a bit gutted, but as long as that cash is reinvested in the team it could make us stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to hear the whole interview, in the context of that quote on it's own it could quite easily be referring to incoming players, as in he can't say he's pushing for Champions League etc until he's knows what his budget is. It seems as much that, and they've written around it because anything with Shaw or Lallana's name on makes it more interesting at the minute.

They would know the context but it doesn't mean they wouldn't twist it to make it a more interesting story. They could've just as easily been saying we'd done well this year having been a record breaking season and asked what the goals were for next year, whether we can improve etc. Especially considering he then goes on to talk about that and there are no quotes about our players.

He could find himself out the door pretty quickly unless he got results ASAP. Saints are on the verge of something really good, if the board back the signing of a quality striker, GK and centre half and keep our current players then I think MPo would stay. It looks like he's enjoying it here, the club and fans want him so why risk it all at Spurs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that contract talks might have been put on hold until the end of the season, but he hasn't demonstrated a desire to stay and build something here. Get the feeling we are simply a stepping stone for him, which is a little disappointing.
