doddisalegend Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I've lost faith in them already, and the worst bit is the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd will start to bully us now in the transfer market as Kruger and co are clearly a soft touch.We are a sinking ship without a captain to pull us through How exactly .....steal our lunch money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 This is utterly hilarious. People now running MoPo's ability and character because he is on the verge of dumping us for a rival. He is a professional, he believes this is the best move for him. Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I surprised? No. Many on here bemoaning the lack of loyalty that he is [reportedly] showing us. By the way, this is exactly the same level of loyalty our club showed to Dodd and Williams - it cuts both ways. I agree, I don't question MP at all. In fact he is fast becoming a potential fall guy. I don't trust Levy and may be using MP as a bargaining tool, he doesn't care if it destabilises us or ruins things for MP. Many fans are turning on him and will be suspicious of his future motives even if he did stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 The Forum is going in to meltdown over this so I decided to eMail the club. Not sure I will get a response but it made me feel better. Hi this is Ralph. Unfortunately I am unable to respond to your email at this time as I am on my holidays. I will be back in six weeks time, but if you can't wait that long, please email Mauricio Pochetino@THFC.co.uk who may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Do you know the reasons for Dodd and Williams getting the boot? Nope, and I used them as an example. If they deserved it on grounds of gross misconduct etc. please substitute my example with: Nigel Adkins Alan Pardew Mark Wotte Jan Portivelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 The board has been totally inept. Heads should roll, if MP goes. Hows that then? Any more substance to it than just knee jerk? The board offered him a new contract with more money and a guarantee to not sell any player he didnt want to sell. It looks like he's chosen to go to Spurs. What would you have done different? nailed his feet to floor? recruited a new manager whilst Pochettino was still under contract and deciding? Do share.

The current team is unbalanced in some areas and lacks squad depth. I imagine Pochettino would have sold one or the other (not both) to fund two or three aquisitions.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 As I have posted before, the deal has been on the table for a few weeks since MP first met Levy. Not bothered by it, don't think he he ever gave a **** about us. He is a good manager, but overrated IMO. Yes Tony but unfortunately the "players" like him and that is why his departure is going to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really sees like that his assertions of wanting to wait until end of season as wants to concentrate on end of season may be disingenuous as it seems it may have been more about keeping his options open. Of course the whole picture needs to come out before we can judge but I for one am left with a slightly bad taste in my mouth................. I think bringing up Loyalty to Dodd and Williams is mixing up 2 different situations, plus do you know why they left, I am assuming that you know they are blameless....? Having said that I also would have preferred he stays [stayed] he has done a good job but it is galling the way it is unfolding and to Spurs. I would love it if we finished above them next season [and MoPo got sacked] .... love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Yes, it is my understanding that his 3 main targets are J Rod, Chambers and Lallana He should be stopped from buying anyone from his former club.

shurlock Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I can see him wanting to take one of the RBs, Lovren, Morgan, Lallana and JRod. Obviously won't get them all but wouldn't be surprised if a few follow. Wanyama if he doesn't rate Sandro or wants more cover. If he got Lamela playing well and had Eriksson and Lallana they'd have a great attack. Still need a striker though for when Adebayor gets bored. So you're writing off Soldado?
