As a Spurs fan I would love Wenger there and for him to win, he would be more than capable. I just don’t see Poch going in there and sorting out the dressing room. He doesn’t take any shit and anyone who isn’t with him is out in the cold.
Next Real Madrid manager | Glaston has a shocker
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
You have been figured out ages ago man. You are boring and a joke on these boards. You are saying Real Madrid are shocked to not have landed Pochettino. Based on what again ?
Based on people who know what happened. I don't care if you don't believe it.
And if you find me boring then I'd be delighted if you don't respond to any of my posts - you won't be missed.
There is no report that say that they're shocked though. That is your own conclusion.
Oh its very helpfull
I don’t get this at all, the consensus was “no one says no to Madrid”, they didn’t get Poch but they are not shocked, you can’t have it both ways. The question is, did Madrid want Poch? The general thought would be yes, they didn’t get him... why wouldn’t they be shocked?
They wouldn't have tried to get Pochettino if they didn't assume that they'd get him - because failure makes them look like rejects.
So it's hardly a stretch to see that they'd be shocked when their overtures were in fact rejected.
It is, specially when they have been targeting several men at the same time. Pochettino was another an option among many, they're not dumb to put all their eggs in one basket.
Of course you can be "not shocked" because in the end he is an option among many others. You make them seem way too desperate. You can try to get something while knowing deep down it may not work out. What's the downside in trying to tempt him ?
You can't have it both ways mate. Earlier in this thread you said "you don't know that " when someone suggested Zidane may have been sacked if they didn't win CL. Now you're making assumptions yourself.
Pochettino was their first choice. Sure, they've moved onto others since, but it doesn't change their shock at being rejected.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter now - Pochettino is staying and that's the long and the short of it.
I really hope Poch stays.
An assumption of surprise based on reason. If you don't get what you expected to get, then it's a surprise.
Same. Long may the Spurs trophy drought continue.
Which is also why I pray klopp stays
Think we've already hired Guti. All of this is just PR, Flo covering his bases in case Guti doesn't work out. "I tried getting a big manager but none were available..."
I think Pochettino is the only one Flo really would have wanted, but the timing is off. We knew it'd be next to impossible to pry him off Levy's hands just days after he signed a new deal

What is the general feeling of Perez at Madrid?
No, they weren't shocked that Tottenham told them to do one when they enquired about a manager who had just put pen to paper on a five-year deal. Maybe they thought there might be a chance that Levy would be willing to deal, maybe they were hoping Poch would push for it, but they certainly weren't shocked by Levy rejecting them and Poch being diplomatic about it, come the feck on now. You don't have to be such a caricature of yourself all the time.
Madrid are cnuts, but they don't literally think everyone in the world is dying to come down there and join the circus. They aren't shocked when a club rejects their approaches.
I really can't wait until Pochettino dumps you for Barcelona, when he realises he really can't polish the white turd that is spurs.
Your meltdown will be epic.
Your lack of footballing knowledge is literally astounding! You win the fail post for the day, congratulations.
Poch loves Espanyol. There's literally no chance he'd ever go to Barca.
Yup he basically said himself it was “impossible”.
How do you know they expected to get him?
Funny thread.
When Pochettino signed his new contract at Spurs, Real's manager was on the verge of winning 3 Champions League titles in a row. But apparently Pochettino signing the Spurs contract showed he didn't want the Real job? One that wasn't available.
Now he or Spurs have supposedly rejected Real? The likelihood is that Real (after unexpectedly losing their manager) are sounding out a number of options and if Levy is really asking for ridiculous levels of compensation are now more interested in other options.

So you have inside info from within the club?
I realise that many posters can't quite get over the fact that Pochettino has turned down the RM job offer. But it's crystal clear he's staying at Spurs so I suggest you turn your attention to the thread-topic, namely who else might RM might appoint.
With madrid it'll be him out in the cold if he's not with them
Conte still at Chelsea? Hmm
In the thread topic,it seems that Guti is the favorite.As Zidane he stands out creating a good atmosphere in the groups(although he only did with 16 years old players). He plays 4-4-2, although the second striker is usually a playmaker/mediapunta.A Diamond would be great too. Not surprising remembering his playing style. I'm sure he will be a fan of some kind of midfielder like Isco.
His problem in my opinion is that he will have very little weight, and being from the club perhaps he'll tend to protect the hard core of the dressing room, perhaps a docile coach who defends hierarchies.
He always had an strong character so I hope he has guts to shake the team if It's necessary.
Entertaining for fans and a good mine for the press

My sources tell me that Madrid were ‘mildly suprised’ rather than shocked
A new rumour I keep reading with some insistency is that the coach they have settled upon is Spanish, but not Guti who will nr.2
That won't do. Spurs fans here are absolutely certain that Madrid were absolutely 'flabbergasted' and 'appalled'
You do by extension then. Always good to know where we stand with posters. We have ITK added to your bow now
Add or subtract what you like sunshine. Anyway, what was the thread topic again?
Read up, its in English. Has an apt reference to you as well.
"Next Real Madrid manager" is the major thread topic .. but you seem to want to make it about me.
Well, I have news for you: I won't be the next RM manager. So now that's settled, perhaps you'll let the discussion turn to the question of who might be their next manager. Or is that too much to ask?
This thread is great
Give it Giggsy till the end of the season.
Posters claiming to be ITK need to be tagged because it's not something we encourage here so I wanted to be sure that's what you were implying before doing so. You owning 1 thread here is bad enough, why would I want to turn another thread into that shite? Now that you have the clarification, we can get back to discussing the Real situation.
It's clear that Glaston has some inside sources within the Spurs. Got the Jadon Sancho deal right. Fair play to him.
