Mauricio Pochettino: "There are a lot of rumours about my position as manager at Tottenham. I cannot answer this type of question...The business you know very well, a lot of rumours happen. I’m so focused in trying to deliver my best in this football club." #ManUtdBlocked at work. Can you type text?
This is most critical. I'd rather take our second pick if it means they can start sooner.Whoever it is, do not let this drag into the summer. We need someone ready to go well before pre-season.

Would be shocked if Touchel leaves after one season. PSG won't let him go either, unless they somehow implode.Poch and Tuchel would be my top two. Zidane would obviously also be a good choice given our french speaking contingent (as well as those he might lure here).
Same for Conte and Allegri IMO.Anybody wanting Simeone after Mourinho wants their head read. Another defense first
Was not wuming. Think about it.Was expecting white text. Poor attempt at WUMing.
What style of play will Jardim implement if he was given the job?
He did win the league in his second spell at Chelsea. Maybe it can work for us.Jose Mourinho
You're right but very, very few managers working at the top will ever get the chance to manage a truly big team. Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona. These are footballing giants and even in our current condition we are a very attract club. It's somewhere where a manager can build a global lasting legacy.As much as I want it to be true, I find it hard to believe that Poch would want to come here in the summer.
He has done so well at Tottenham in a financially difficult period for the club - he has them not only consistently qualifying for the Champions League (something they've never done before) and also doing fairly well in the tournament, and finishing high up in the league every season, and on top of that playing good football with plenty of young players being embedded into the team, all of which he continues to do with very little money from the club.
He has worked so hard on this 'project' which is essentially to make Tottenham a truly top team. A project that he has spent so many years on and done so much brilliant work for, that I find it so unrealistic for him to abandon ship before the project is finished, which is to say before Spurs win a big trophy.
Here's hoping I'm wrong.
I am mental! Having been driven so by 27 years of SAF being followed by 5 years of Moyes, Van Gaal and Mou.You have to be completely mental to think that United could get Klopp.
We have Madrid in competition for pochh as well.You're right but very, very few managers working at the top will ever get the chance to manage a truly big team.

Kidding, right?Opted for one of the others: Roberto Martinez on the condition he proves himself as caretaker manager.
That's not very accurate. If these four teams (you forgot Bayern Munich) replace their manager on average every 2.5 years (say), that means 16 vacancies over the next decade. Pochettino is only 46 years old. He has plenty of time and will be able to pick and choose at his leisure.You're right but very, very few managers working at the top will ever get the chance to manage a truly big team.

Thanks. Yeah, that looks impressive.Pretty good. Every signing he's made:
2014-15: Davies, Vorm, Dier, Yedlin, Fazio, Stambouli, Alli
2015-16: Wimmer, Trippier, Alderweireld, N'jie, Son, Tracey
2016-17: Wanyama, Janssen, Velasco, N'Koudou, Sissoko, Tainio
2017-18: Sanchez, Gazzaniga, Foyth, Aurier, Llorente, Lucas
Obviously some of these were youth and backup signings. Davies, Dier, Alli, Trippier, Alderweireld, Son, Wanyama, Sanchez, and Lucas all proved to be good signings. Most of the flops were cheap too.
If we are going to get Dof then he needs to be person with requisite qualifications and experienced hand not some famous ex player who would be required to learn on the job that would be really poor planning from us.Our way forward is clear now. Hire a DOF before the beginning of next season. Two candidates could be VDS or Giggs. Then in the meantime be doing everything in our power to get Pochettino in. The structure of the club has to change. This could be the start of an exciting era but only if things are done right. There are also a number of players at the club who must be moved on. Getting a new manager is one thing, but changing and upping the quality of the team is another
If it means Smalling never plays for United again, I’m inThe fact people genuinely arguing for Southgate on social media has baffled me
Are you a Liverpool fan?Opted for one of the others: Roberto Martinez on the condition he proves himself as caretaker manager.
He should've won a trophy by now with Spurs but its only a matter of time.Zidane, the outstanding candidate for the job.
Will be quite underwhelmed with Poch, having won nothing at all doesn't bode well...
