Olallana Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Do anyone actually know WHEN that picture was taken? Could he have been there a week ago, hasn´t decided yet or haven´t got an offer yet...?

Dr Who? Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Also this seems like the perfect time for him to nail his sail to the Southampton mast, don't you think?
Dazza82 Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Im sure Krugar said that next season starts now or words to that effect after the utd game. So surely that includes the manager getting tied down, it is 2 weeks since the season finished and still the manager isnt sorted. Imo he is off on that basis as MP has already said that he will talk at the end of the season and im sure the contract would of already been drawn up for then Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Gemmel Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Ok, try to keep this one on topic, there are plenty of other threads to discuss our potential or lack of elsewhere. What does that mean in English? Why on earth did you lock the other thread

SNSUN Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 One thread shuts and an exact replica opens. Confused.com. Doesn't seem much point...
Jimmy_D Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Other thread had decended into an argument about whether Saints could reach top 4, 5, 6, and then into an argument about people's general outlook on Saints, and it was starting to get heated. It was useless for anyone actually wanting to talk about Pochettino.

Turkish Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 So what's going on with poch and if he stays or goes can we break into the top 6?
Batman Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 So what's going on with poch and if he stays or goes can we break into the top 6? Did man land on the moon?
Mallagroth Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Don't worry Jimmy - You really don't look like a prize d!ck But he was right… or maybe it's a case of takes one to know one?
SaintSteve Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Whatever... if MP prefers Tottenham then hope it happens this week; I think there will be a long queue for the job here.
Turkish Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Whatever... if MP prefers Tottenham then hope it happens this week; I think there will be a long queue for the job here. Paul Jewell, Phil Brown, Peter Reid, Gerry Francis etc..

doddisalegend Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Whatever... if MP prefers Tottenham then hope it happens this week; I think there will be a long queue for the job here. I like this post. If MP is not committed then he might as well F-off rather that than he dumps us mid season. I reckon you're right we must be a pretty attractive job for a lot of managers at the moment.

angelman Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Whatever... if MP prefers Tottenham then hope it happens this week; I think there will be a long queue for the job here. I think there would and that is why this story http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/476362/EXCLUSIVE-Break-the-bank-Southampton-s-6m-to-keep-Pochettino wasn't, to me, just aimed at MP. It was also for other top managers out there knowing that they would be well paid - that is if there is any truth in it.
The Kraken Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Paul Jewell, Phil Brown, Peter Reid, Gerry Francis etc.. Big Racist Ron has been out of work for too long. So has Peter Shreeves. The only football man I've heard say "do you know who I am?". (I didn't, as it goes, but luckily he wasn't talking to me).
doddisalegend Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Paul Jewell, Phil Brown, Peter Reid, Gerry Francis etc.. I was reading an article about him the other day apparently he is a trained electrician so he'd be perfect for the boards downsizing project working maintenance shifts at SMS between training sessions.

Heisenberg Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Just fck off Spurs. Appoint someone cheap so when you sack then in January it doesn't cost too much. Are you suggesting that Tottenham change the manager alot? Over the past 10 years we have had 14 different managers, Spurs just 7?

You counting Wigley x2, Bessant/Wise, Gorman and Wilkins in there, aren't you? They were temporary appointments (well one of Wigley's was).

True i am, i used wikipedia ill be honest and simply counted the managers, didnt focus much on lenghs of role. Just thought it was an interesting comparasion given the idea that Spurs were quite trigger happy with managers

Just thought it was an interesting comparasion given the idea that Spurs were quite trigger happy with managers OK, we all know Adkins and Pardew got the bullet. The latter apparently for well known reasons. Wotte got replaced by the new owner. Poortvliet resigned. Pearson got the chop - was it cost cutting? Burley resigned to take over at Scotland. Saggy resigned. Wigley got the chop (silly appointment). Sturrock left by mutual consent (ie was fired). Strachan resigned. So we don't really have itchy trigger fingers.

Wotte: Sacked after relegating the side. Poortvliet: Sacked after a dreadful run of results left the side perished. Pearson: Arguably unfairly sacked perhaps, but spent a lot of money on loans just to survive on the last day. Burley: Resigned and seemingly lost interest. Redknapp: Resigned after getting us relegated and not showing much interest. Wigley: Awful appointment from start to finish, didn't get sacked soon enough. Sturrock: Sacked in weird circumstances, players revolt? Strachan: Resigned, fair enough. Cortese clearly has itchy trigger fingers, but was justified by bringing in someone better each time. The previous regime? Less so.

This is a thread to discuss Pochettinos future, one reason given for him to stay is the expected longevity of any spurs role. Just felt it was fair to highlight that Spurs dont appear to be as triggerhappy as some would like to suggest.

The Kraken Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 And? SFC haven't been in the premier league all those years, it's hard to get stability when you're going up and down the leagues, in and out of administration. My point had nothing to do with Saints, merely that Spurs is a place where managers with promising careers or half decent reputations fail, or don't get enough time. It's also irrelevant to judge anything but the present. Our present board have never sacked anyone. Their current board is Levy, who has been through a lot of managers. Think you're doing the Heisenberg name a disservice. Is the Spurs record any worse than the average Premier league side? Arsenal have Wenger, of course, but after that it's a ridiculous state of affairs for all PL sides. Everton with Moyes are an exception, Chelsea have gone mental with managers, Liverpool have not been brilliant either.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Do people really think Pochettino would just casually turn up to Spurs' training ground for talks? Even if he did want to be a naughty boy, I'd trust both he, his advisors, and Spurs would find a far more discreet way to talk - and most definitely not somewhere like Spurs' training ground.
brett24 Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Let him go, clearly doesn't want to stay! The picture has to be a fake wouldn't it be in all the papers otherwise.
The Kraken Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Again, why does it matter? This isn't about any other premier league side, it's about Spurs and Levy. I think any manager in a secure job would think twice, but if it's a CL club they'd obviously take the risk. For Man Utd they would. But Spurs? It's all the risk with little of the reward. I'm sure he'll go for it anyway, but I don't expect it to end well for him. Such delusions of grandeur there most seem to doubt he's the main, all wanting a top name like Ancelotti. It's Spurs FFS. It matters because you have to look at it in context. Do we as fans agree with it? Perhaps not. But if you're going to single out one club for having a hire and fire culture, it's probably best to equate that to the clubs around them. I think you seem to have an engendered dislike of Spurs and quite enjoy a dig in the sides without actually admitting they're not the only ones acting like that. If you think that various other clubs act the same, I'd agree totally, it is a ridiculous state of affairs. But I'm not sure if you are saying that.

Even if he did want to be a naughty boy, I'd trust both he, his advisors, and Spurs would find a far more discreet way to talk - and most definitely not somewhere like Spurs' training ground. It does seem pretty improbable yes. Look at the lengths Levy and Hoddle went to to cover up their having talks when he did his Judas act.
miserableoldgit Posted 24 May, 2014 Posted 24 May, 2014 Am I the only one who gets ****ed of with posts that contain the words " it is clear that" or " it is obvious that" when we actually know nothing?
