One week he's a bottler, one week he makes dubious changes now he's a fecking legend. You never now with the CAF.
A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino
- Thread starter NotBrendanRodgers honest
- Start date
So happy for him, that passion and tears at the end summed it up. I really hope we don't regret getting him.
He's done an amazing job with Spurs.
Watch how he gets labelled a bottler again if a better (and better resourced) Liverpool side finally beat them in the final though.

Seeing Pochettino in tears tonight was very inspiring as a Spurs fan.
Should pull a Zidane if they actually manage to win it. Winning UCL with Spurs would be almost up there with winning it three times straight and winning PL with Leicester as the most miraculous managerial achievements recently.
What he’s done with no transfer money and injuries to key players is remarkable. Meanwhile our £750m transfer kitty managed to scrape a draw at Huddersfield.
I feel they would have a lot of fitness issues and fall short of both due to having a very limited team with regards to depth. That what is impressive of premier league team making the finals. They have a much hectic schedule.
Yea it is, but you have to see the addition Klopp made this season. One of them won player of the season. I doubt without spending big, they would have been this successful. Pochettino is a Van Dijk and Alison Type signing away from having a much better team.
After getting his lads to the final, people thinking he was ever going to leave spurs for us must be fecking bonkers.
I doubt it, seemed like emotional comments from him.
True. It shows the worth of a manager who shows belief in his players: they would walk through walls for Pochettino.
His man-management - his motivation - of players is incredible.
Watching him crying after the whistle was kinda emotional. Mocked the hell out of him previously but that's a magnificent achievement and he's finally delivering.
Exactly. Around here and in the minds of the CO92 it's thought that all these modern players would run through walls for the club, when really it's down to the manager. Pep, Klopp and Poch have all shown that they can build teams who will go to war for them.
Sign him up woody

That would be too smart a move for our board.I still believe that we will make shock decision after the season and hire him.
Even if we would try it why would he want to come to United. Stop it lads.
That won't happen unless Ole walks, which he won't. We've put ourselves in a position where we have to stick with Ole for next season. It would also look terrible if the board changed their mind a few months later.
If you feel better to think that then ok. But it is just not true. Much more money for new players, new challenge for Poch, much much bigger wage for him. Oh yes, did i mention money?
Next Barcelona manager now I fear.
Not with his Espanyol past.
Top managers have known to steer clear of United for years and it's gutting. Seriously think Poch was never on the cards
No chance. Pochettino is an ex Espanyol man and he doesn't like Barcelona at all...He is also an ex PSG player so I wouldn't be surprised to see him there .
I don't think he's all about the money. And despite money it would be a downgrade right now sadly. Our club is a complete circus right now. Why would anyone want to come.
How about you fecking do one? Calling me a fecking top red. Its called giving a person time and not being a petulant impatient kid. I wont be quoting you in november either.
Ole's at the wheel or something...
Yikes. Calm down lads, let's not get toxic before pre season even started.
Yeah its already toxic I'm afraid. And it's not even Jose who's at fault.Yikes. Calm down lads, let's not get toxic before pre season even started.
Its been toxic since Fergie left. If you like spoiled children wanting change every 5 minuts then thats up to you. The rest of us wont put up with this bullshit.Yikes. Calm down lads, let's not get toxic before pre season even started.
No of course it was Joses fault, and LVG and Moyes now Ole.....do you see the pattern? Its like fecking cavemen trying to start a fire by banging rocks off their skulls.
I wouldn't bother, there are some absolute bell ends on here at the moment. Who's main goal is to fill up every thread about United being shite.
I'm not taking any sides here I'm just not a fan of people going at each other for no reason.
Exactly. Every thread, every one of them.
Impossible to dislike this guy.
there is a reason though.
4 months in and they already decided he'll be gone by Christmas.
He is a quality bloke in fairness.
Very interesting. The part about him not trusting players who wanted to stay and trusting the ones who wanted to leave to win things really impressed me. I bet levy had never heard anything like that before from previous managers - pure ambition.
He has transformed Tottenham.
Just beat Them now Poch. You deserve it.
Yes, and that's been United's biggest problem … believing that money is the solution.
Pochettino turned down Real Madrid in the summer - as he himself has recently confirmed. There is zero chance he will come to United to play in the EL next summer.
Must admit watching that made even me a little emotional..
Can't believe it but I agree.
