Gemmel Posted 29 April, 2014 Share Posted 29 April, 2014 Great gOal on the plastic pitch against Luton though. If you are talking about the Milk Cup (Mid week match) goal that got us a replay (Which we subsequently lost) then indeed it was. I have tried so hard to find footage of the goal, but it seems it doesn't exist. If anyone knows if there is anything out there, I would be very grateful.

DuncanRG Posted 29 April, 2014 Share Posted 29 April, 2014 Was told tonight something crazy by a lad who works in the game: Seven year deal on the table. God, I'd stall to sign that if I were Pochettino. I suppose if he were to sign a contract like that it would include target clauses like Moyes' so we could sack him without parting with x years' worth of severance pay. That would help to prevent a Pardew situation. What a statement if we could lock him to it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 29 April, 2014 Share Posted 29 April, 2014 Lets hope it doesn't all go Alan Pardew if he signs it. I am not sure if that is a little unfair or not. Ashley seems to have give AP a 6 year contract and then not wanted to back him. This season was a right off as soon as Cabaye was sold. If you give someone such a long term contract, then I would have thought it would be advisable to back him rather than hinder him. I do wonder whether anyone else would have done a better job than AP in his situation, being hamstrung by cockneys at every turn. As for long term contracts, and if you are going to back the manager, then it does make sense so long as the relationship doesn't fall down. Looking at ManU and SAF, and to a lesser extent Arse and Whinger, a stable management team which is in place long term does produce results. And who benefits from such a long term contract? Certainly not the club, save for giving the manager a big vote of confidence (not that MP needs it), as if you sack someone, then the contract needs to be paid up - maybe that it the hardest bit to agree in negotiations, along with what the club's plans are. As WGS said, being sacked as a manager isn't like being sacked in the normal sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 30 April, 2014 Share Posted 30 April, 2014 7 year deal from Saints or Spurs? Either way surely thats too much, nobody would offer that much. Doesn't sound crazy to me. If he's REALLY good someone will poach him and pay compensation. If he's only okay we stick with him. If he's awful we might have to sack him but would still be in that situation with any manager - perhaps the gamble they're making is about keeping the other players, so that could be factored into the equation.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 April, 2014 Share Posted 30 April, 2014 I thought Pards had a clause in his contract whereby if he was sacked he didn't get a pay off of the full contract? Something like 1/2 years (which I'm sure is still a very nice pay day). I imagine IF Poch has been offered 7 years, there would be something similar in there too. He would probably want some kind of get out for if a 'big club' comes in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Tel49 Posted 30 April, 2014 Share Posted 30 April, 2014 The most troubling element for me is the major increase in speculation that Lallana is looking to move, because I'd always had him pegged as someone who was very keen to stay. Until now I've felt that most of the key members of the squad were reasonably committed, although Shaw was almost certain to leave. I was happy to accept that Pochettino was using brinkmanship to pressure Katharina and Ralph into coming out with the best possible salary and incentive package and - just as important to him - a significant transfer budget. But the increase in speculation surrounding Lallana is really starting to make me think that he knows something we don't know, and that this has resulted in more "come and get me" signals, whether or not we see them. Having said that, Pochettino is a smart man. While there's major appeal in going to one of the "big clubs", he's unlikely to do it if the key players in their squad are not the kind to play his kind of football. Few stack up better than us on that front. Something else he really likes, I suspect, is the ability to bring young players through who play football "his way", and - again - few clubs (if any) stack up better than us. With the salary and transfer budget issues resolved, he has more reasons to stay than to go. Pochettino is the key piece in this jigsaw of speculation because if he were to commit to us, most of the key players probably would as well. Until then the speculation will continue to run riot, which makes it all the more surprising that Katharina and Ralph haven't brought this to a head. The longer they allow it to remain up in the air, the harder it will be to resolve it if things go pear-shaped. Anxious times - all the more so because his decision could trigger a major exodus and a return to the scary drawing board. AL's form this year irrespective of international selection was bound to attract attention and hence more speculation. Doesn't make it true though.
