Professor Posted 4 May, 2016 Share Posted 4 May, 2016 He had a very positive image when he was here and is reputed to have done well. It can be argued that he inherited some good players and was fortunate in that the Academy was producing some exceptional talent but he had to be confident enough to give those young players their chances and add his own tactical style, such as the high press to the way the team played. Perhaps the fact that he refused to speak English to the media added to an air of mystery about him. His manner of leaving was disappointing but few would argue against the view that his period here was a continuation of the club's development. At Tottenham, he continues to struggle with the language despite having lived in England now for what, 3 years? His image is not as clean cut as it was and it's almost as if the north London yobbo style, if it really exists, has affected him somehow. But he has continued what he did at Southampton, improving the performances of his team, bringing through young players and unless you count Alderweireld as a defection, he hasn't raided his previous club at a time when players were defecting to Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal. But respect for him must now be tempered by the behaviour of his players in the Chelsea game and his own behaviour in that match. To see a manager on the pitch joining in a scuffle is highly distasteful. He may claim that he was trying to separate players but, if so, he chose to do that by confronting a Chelsea player, not by calming his own players down. In any case, the manager should not be on the pitch; discipline is a matter for the officials. And to do that in a match where he subsequently praised his players despite 9 yellow cards being shown to them indicated that he is not interested in encouraging proper behaviour. And lets remember this is after Tottenham player Delle Alli was banned for three matches for violent behaviour in the Europa match with Fiorentina. In my opinion, I'm very glad Pochettino is not manager of Southampton, and not just because we have an excellent manager in Ronald, but because the Argentine is no longer fit for the Southampton Way.

berkshiresaint Posted 4 May, 2016 Share Posted 4 May, 2016 He's taken a team to 2nd in the league, Champions league football & possibly on to greater things.

austsaint Posted 4 May, 2016 Share Posted 4 May, 2016 Over the top Prof. I can understand people not liking the way he left SFC for North London, but he did some great things for Saints during his time and managed an attractive style of Football. At Spurs he has overseen a complete cleaning out of a bloated Spurs and then taken them to a Champions League finish in his second season. I remember him coming on to the pitch in the aftermath of our game at Norwich when Boric saved a penalty - it was mostly about supporting his players - the other night it looked as though he was trying to diffuse the conflict not inflame it. He's a very good Football man and his star is bright; best to accept that and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint-crinny Posted 4 May, 2016 Share Posted 4 May, 2016 Very odd post - his standing in the game as a manager has never been higher than right now. Even after the game on Monday, pundits were falling over themselves to praise him. He gets his team to play with an edge, most of them don't have any experience of the situation they were in and they lost it (hilariously for us, a very enjoyable watch). Don't see why Poch should be criticised for defending them afterwards though, although from what i saw he didnt particularly get drawn into it and most of his praise was about the'r season's efforts. I'm sure he'll address it in private, but i have no problem with a manager publicly defending their players. Keep it in house, keep the players' respect. Also, his English is fine. A little dis-jointed on the odd occasion but perfectly clear and understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saints were top of the league at Xmas and we were offered a fantastic price for our best player we would sell, Im sure of that. We have been programmed to believe finishing 7th 8th or 9th being a fantastic achievement and so selling if more acceptable.

Top quality manager- and as for the plan B- surely one can only have a plan B if he has the resources available- in the 2013/14 season lets face it- we only had a core of about 14/15 players capable of playing at a high level- plus it didn't help having Boruc out for a fair bit- the two Spurs game ring to mind that season- we lost both 3-2 didn't we?

Some might still try to ridicule you for being ambitious, but after what Leicester have achieved this season, it's getting harder for the naysayers to do that. If we had invested in keeping Lallana, Schneiderlin and Clyne and if we invest in keeping Forster, Mane and Wanyama, which admittedly won't be cheap, good managers will want to stay at the club and we will win trophies. With the amount the club has coming in next year, there will still be money to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 4 May, 2016 Share Posted 4 May, 2016 Once they have proven their worth to us, which they have, pay them the salaries that Spurs and Liverpool would pay them (in spite of all the money they also have to spend on new stadium development). The cynics, and I assume you are one, Verbal Kint, always tell us they only leave to get bigger salaries.

Money isn't always the only reason, but when it is significant there are only a few clubs in the Prem who can pay more than us - and those are the ones that Lallana, Schneiderlin, Ox-Cham, Chambers, Lovren and Clyne went to, along with City and Chelsea. We simply can't compete with the salaries that those big clubs offer so if a player wants to go for money he can engineer a move by going on strike / throwing a tantrum, or refusing to sign a contract extension. Your plan of spending the transfer budget on increased wages is simplistic given our net spend over the last few windows has been virtually nil.

My cat then stepped on the keyboard and somehow deleted it. I am not going to type it again but I mostly disagree with you. We cannot know if the board is doing something wrong because we don't have the necessary inside information. That being said I do think the board made a mistake letting Cork go and made a mistake if they did not try to sign Clyne to a long term contract in summer 2014 before he was the starting English right back.

Punk Posted 4 May, 2016 Share Posted 4 May, 2016 He is a good manager and he obviously has Spurs playing well but is finishing 2nd in the prem that good. In a season when Leicester win it, Chelsea having a bizarrely bad season, Man city having a dip cos of the announcement of their manager going and Man U suffering cos of their dopey manager. Poch also has one of the best strikers in Europe at his disposal. If we had Kane we would have been finishing 2nd or 1st. Anyway the point is, if the usual 4 had not been out of sorts all season, it would have been another 5th or 6th finish for Spurs. Hell without Kane it would probably have been 9th.

The9 Posted 5 May, 2016 Share Posted 5 May, 2016 Plan B nonsense. If you are good you dont need plan B. The problem is that most clubs see Plan A is hoofing it to the big centre forward and Plan B is hoofing it to the big centre forward and also the centre half I think this is nonsense, fwiw. If you're good but the way in which you are good happens to play into the strengths of your opponents, you need at least one alternative. Pochettino's Bielsa-led style is always high-press and his use of it in England has been in a very specific formation, which doesn't allow a lot of flexibility if the opposition happens to be very good at switching play, or otherwise avoiding the press by shifting the ball quickly. It often seemed like Pochettino's Plan A was "high press" and his plan B was "have a break from high press for a second because we're knackered". It certainly suits him being at Spurs and having the resources to pick two players for every position, and shrewd use of squad rotation with a second tier of nearly-as-good players has meant he avoided the two usual problems of fatigue from pressing and a disjointed team from rotation. They did look properly shattered second half against Chelsea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount the club has coming in next year, there will still be money to spare. Leicester achieved what they did with a squad of players NO-ONE was trying to sign away from them. "...but Leicester" does not mean everything has changed. It has just illustrated that effort and teamwork can beat quality and big wages, but only as long as the quality and big wages don't also have the effort and teamwork. It's also shown that you have to be bloody lucky to get away with having a small squad, but we found that out last season and the season before, and everyone will find it out again and for the forseeable future. The fact everyone has more money is only beneficial to Saints' recruitment if we choose to hike up existing player wages or if we want to lure someone from outside the Premier League and no-one else who has the same money boost is interested. It'll just lead to wage inflation, again, but we are all going to see bigger European names selling players to smaller English clubs - and in that context we might be better off recruiting players who'll come for more than they'll get abroad but less than the English-based players are asking for.
