Holbury Saint Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 By the way if any of our players or manager have a decision to make still then they obviously aren't committed anyway so they can just **** off anyway. I'm sure there are plenty of players and managers that would jump at the chance of being here
Alain Perrin Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 I think he was compairing it to the picture of MP. I don't think he's right. It may or may not be the Spurs training ground but I don't think it's St Mary's - dark blue wall covering (fits with Spurs) but could be anywhere. If it is Spurs, strange you'd take your kids though - loose lips sink ships etc. The picture itself looks like it has been taken through a window but the original photo has no EXIF data (I'm sad, I checked) so the only way we'll be certain is if someone recognises it. Even if it is Spurs' training ground, it doesn't mean it's a done deal. There's no doubt MP is talking to Spurs, it's a question of whether he is seduced by the prospect of managing them. In someways they are an attractive proposition, in fact it reminds me of when Harry went there. Lot's of investment on top players who can't play together - the question MP has to answer is whether he could get them to click. His brand of high energy football needs a certain type of player - and he might find that hard to imprint on a bunch of individuals. On the flip side, when he came to Saints he inherited a team with a close bond, a very big difference - and Levy is a trigger happy SoB. The fact that he's talking to them, suggests he wants to further his career. If he does stay with Saints it will either be because of a statement of intent by ourselves, or because Spurs have chosen someone else. I wouldn't bet either way at present.
Gruffalo Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 I have just watched the hospitality video and it looks exactly like St Marys entrance. Check it out 13 secs in behind the chicks. The Twitter picture wasn't taken in the entrance foyer st SMS - it's too narrow, no desk, wrong type of barriers, no wall with writing on..
foxy9143 Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Is it even definitely MP? Someone elsewhere was doubting that it was due to an apparent tattoo on the person's right arm.
Alain Perrin Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 It's Spurs' training ground players entrance according to the Spurs forum: http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/the-case-for-poch-to-be-new-manager-thread.108916/page-116 On that basis I'd say that his kids being there is a bad thing - suggests it is more of a done deal. That said it could have been taken in the wooing phase - did anyone see Poch out and about yesterday?

That said it could have been taken in the wooing phase - did anyone see Poch out and about yesterday? To be fair there are several spurs fans doubting the picture as well as those 'vouching' for its whereabouts. Although one poster claims to recognise the doorman. That said, I think the writing has been on the wall for too long, and expect MP to leave. Unless there has been a breakdown in discussion with spurs - which is also quite possible.
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2014 Author Posted 24 May, 2014 (edited) All the talk has been for weeks that he is going there so would hardly be shock of the century if he has been to their TG. Its definitely MP. Definitely his son(s) and according to Spurs fans the other guy is the Spurs Player Liaison Officer and it is the Spurs TG. This is a pic of MP and the other two lads from earlier this season: http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmO_NjxCUAEw46r.jpg If so then would be hugely suprised if he doesn't end up there, hardly going to be a coincidence and suggests we have let him speak to them.

angelman Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/tottenham/next-permanent-manager Nice comprehensive list. As things stand the best odds you can get (ie longest) seem to be MP - 1/2 (Betfred) FdB - 5/2 (Skybet) RM - 10/1 (Coral) Will be interesting to see how things change. Well not a lot has changed since 19/5 and while bookies don't always get it right, they tend to. Best odds currently MP - 4/7 (Shortest seem to be 1/4) FdB - 4/1 (although a couple seem to have him at evens!!) RM - 25/1
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2014 Author Posted 24 May, 2014 Hopefully Atletico will win tonight and maybe Ancelotti to Spurs could happen, but the way Saints are going MP will be off to someone better soon, Spurs or another club.
ART Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Just up from the Telegraph. We'll know better after tonight's big match http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/10854010/Tottenham-Hotspur-ready-to-move-for-Southampton-manager-Mauricio-Pochettino-if-Carlo-Ancelotti-says-no.html Tottenham Hotspur ready to move for Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino if Carlo Ancelotti says no Spurs will approach Southampton for their next manager if Real Madrid boss decides against move to White Hart Lane Mauricio Pochettino - Tottenham Hotspur ready to move for Mauricio Pochettino if Carlo Ancelotti says no In demand: Tottenham are likely to approach Southampton for permission to speak to manager Mauricio Pochettino Photo: PA Jason Burt By Jason Burt 4:40PM BST 24 May 2014 Tottenham Hotspur will make one final check to see whether Carlo Ancelotti is interested in becoming their new manager before making their move for Southampton’s Mauricio Pochettino next week. The Spurs board decided on Friday to approach Southampton to speak to Pochettino. Their only alternative would be if Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid following Saturday’s Champions League final but that does not appear likely. The attraction of returning to London would interest Ancelotti but his wage demands are likely to be prohibitive. The Italian, nevertheless, has a good relationship with Spurs’ director of football, Franco Baldini. Pochettino has been Tottenham’s first choice since the club decided not to take up the 12-month option on Tim Sherwood’s contract. Spurs have spoken to Rafael Benitez’s representatives in the knowledge that the Napoli coach would like to return to England but there has been no contact for more than two weeks.

itchen_dan Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Definitely seems that it is Spurs training ground and we can guarantee 100% it's Poch and his sons. We just need to get a spot on replacement for him otherwise the meltdown really could happen.
shurlock Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 At least Ralph and co should be ready for this scenario. Its been coming for nearly 3 months... Will tonight's result have any bearing, however minor on whether Ancelotti leaves and would consider the spurs job?
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2014 Author Posted 24 May, 2014 Will tonight's result have any bearing, however minor on whether Ancelotti leaves and would consider the spurs job? On the first point quite possibly apparently. On the second, who knows.
Pastor Patrón Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Thats from St Marys bro. No it's not, the walls at St Mary's are all painted Eggshell White, that's clearly Ivory. Jesus it makes me sick to the stomach.

Leicestersaint Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Pochettino is staying with Saints - and I'm not altogether convinced that is a good thing.

BPL or bottom of L2, I really don't care. If Poch, Shaw, Lallana, Schneiderlin leave then you wouldn't care? Fair enough. I would be pretty disappointed not to have them at Saints. Different perspective I guess but nothing wrong for wanting to keep good players and Manager.
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2014 Author Posted 24 May, 2014 Time for you and St Charlie to go back to supporting Pompey then. Doesn't make sense. If you arent happy with whats happening then you should support someone else. Just because I am concerned it makes me no less of a fan, and won't change anything about how I feel about Saints.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 On one hand I want poch to stay but on the other hand I am not comfortable with the games being played. I just think we will have the same speculation every year with him. Sent from my HTC One SV using Tapatalk
Nolan Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 did the get bored when cropping wherever the original picture of Pochettino was from. Could they not manage to fill this bit in with anything?
Window Cleaner Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Why does Ancelotti even come into this equation ? He's not going to dump PSG for Real and then dump Real for Tottenham after 1 season.
Badger Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Ancelotti to Spurs. MP to Real... Probably a step too far for him at the moment.
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2014 Author Posted 24 May, 2014 Why does Ancelotti even come into this equation ? He's not going to dump PSG for Real and then dump Real for Tottenham after 1 season. Some reports saying he will be fired if they lose tonight. Real are quite impatient.
Badger Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Why does Ancelotti even come into this equation ? He's not going to dump PSG for Real and then dump Real for Tottenham after 1 season. I think people are thinking he - or possibly Simeone - might be looking for another job after tonight depending on the result.
hugh Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 I could cope with Lallana and Shaw leaving if Pochettino stays. We need some sort of continuity. The money from the players would go some way towards easing the pain and give the manager something to work with. Added to which the £15M that Redknapp will hand over in exchange for Osvaldo will also help! I am clinging to the hope that the sacking of Dodd and Williams indicates Pochettino wants to bring in more continental coaches at youth level, otherwise that makes little sense to me.
shurlock Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 For all we know, it could easily be poch arriving for spurs v soton earlier in the season...
Pastor Patrón Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Size, spending power, draw and history. Isn't our net spend more then theirs since we've been back in the Prem? The others are irrelevant, Leeds and Forest are bigger clubs then us with more history. If Pochettino leaves it's because he threw his toys out of the pram when Cortese left, its nothing to do with the appeal of a bigger club. Its Spurs ffs, this isn't the 80's.
BILLY Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Totally fooked off with the whole situation; lack of statements from the club or show of commitment from MoPo etc. I want him to stay and keep the team together etc but if he wants to go then get rid of of him now and get someone like Michael Laudrup in. Give the new guy plenty of time to get replacements in etc. This situation is just dragging on and on and on.
BILLY Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 For all we know, it could easily be poch arriving for spurs v soton earlier in the season... Yeah with the rest of the team and his kids with him - yeah really!

Spoilt brat Saints fans spit their dummies out because we can't compete with the bigger, richer, more famous clubs. Give it a rest mate. Disappointed if he does go as I think the club has been as good for him as he has been for us, but not sure how that makes me spoilt? Bit of a pathetic comment. Go and put your feet up and stop wumming on here if you are quite so content.
