With all the top teams out of the way you shouldn't have been chasing Leicester. You wont ever have an easier chance than what you had that season.
A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino
- Thread starter NotBrendanRodgers honest
- Start date
Pochettino is overseeing a rebuild there. Winks and Walker-Peters are 2 kids he is handing starting roles to. Once they find their feet soon they will flourish. It will take Lo Celso and Tanguy time to adapt also. But once they all get going the Spurs will be formidable again. Its guaranteed. Eriksen is a problem for them though. He's a player that will be very hard to replace.
Was he starting winks and walker-peters plus adapting Lo Celsius and Ndombele in the last 12 games last year?
Net spend is a poor indicator of a club spending power. If you account for just amount spent on players, Chelsea will be £300m above Spurs. Chelsea net spend is so low because they bought the right players for a significant fee and sold them for a good amount. It is not rocket science to think that if you buy quality players, you will sell them for a decent amount. The images below is a better indicator. Which shows how remarkable a job Pochettino is doing and how poor the resources he has been giving at Spurs.

I think you'll look good come Xmas, you guys always start off slow then end the season strongly.
His record turning young players into top performers is excellent. Luke Shaw, Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne, Callum Chambers, Schneiderlin at Southampton were catching the eyes of bigger fish when Pochettino was managing them.
At Spurs he has worked miracles. Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, lucas Moura, Dele Alli, Kyle Walker, kieran Trippier etc
His record in developing players and helping them reach their potential is second to none really.
Liverpool have had 18m net spend since Klopp? This can't be true, right?
That's all well and good, but it has nothing to do with the point I replied to.
You said they lose a game or two and it's a Muppet fest. I pointed out their poor form has been over the last fifteen games, then you start talking about introducing youth and how good he is at coaching young players.
What's that got to do with their poor form being more than losing a game or two?
Yea, it doesn’t seem right but I believe they got a lot of fee for Coutinho and Sterling, plus some decent fee for some of their other players. I know they have been very active in buying players before this transfer window, so maybe someone can fact check that amount to see how true it is.

In 2014 started with Kane, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Rose and Lloris. Who are still worth £300m+ between them now. They also sold Walker for £50m from the same squad and got Delli Alli for £5m the summer he started. We had De Gea, some assets like Zaha, Keane, Evans and Chicharito that we sold for peanuts and a load of quality players that retired (who obviously need replacing for large amounts). It's not a surprise they have a significantly lower net spend than us.Net spend is a poor indicator of a club spending power.

Wow... Liverpool's net spend...
Something is brewing and I don't like it.
neither will OGS
Where would Pochettino go? Zidane at RM now until that implodes by about Christmas. PSG? Bayern?
I read this on twitter and thought some troll is taking the piss as talksport didn't tweet it.
If the rumors are true then it's a huge blow for Spurs.
I feel like Real Madrid will be a potential destination. I can see him going to Real Madrid and taking Kane with him. Else, if things goes badly at United, then we are definitely his next destination. Sir Alex, Rooney, so many United legends wants Pochettino at United.
Psg, Madrid or Bayern. First club who sack manager will hire Poch. Second will hire Mourinho.
0 chance Bayern will hire Jose.
From an outsiders perspective I dont see him just walking away and doing nothing for 6 months. Spurs fans will know a lot more of the goings on inside their club Im sure. Levy heavily backed Poch in the xfer window with Ndombele and Lo Celso purchases, alongside Sessegnon. These were the players Pochettino was after, and Levy went out and got them. Why would he just up and walk away after he was heavily backed in the xfer window?
Ndombele met Pochettino and was a main influence for his joining the club. He bought into Pochettino's 'project' at Spurs. Seems like a bunch of media click bait articles, saying Pochettino is walking away from Spurs. Just a few weeks after his meeting with Ndombele? Doesnt make much sense.
When the next window rolls around and RM sack ZZ, then yes I could see him taking the reigns, maybe. PSG, meh, dont think he would go there simply because of the league. Bayern, distant possibility.

He has quite strongly dismissed the rumours which is great news.

Mmm, I wouldn't be so sure.
He's not happy there at all. Kane and Vertonghen with a bust up, question marks still over Eriksens future, Kane spotted in Spain with his agent. Things are not right at spurs.
He is lying! Ole said last week Alexis is working hard and getting close to play, today, that horrible Norge guy said he had to go! F....ng hell, everybody lies.
Did they, what happened?
Kane and Vertonghen bust up? Kane being in Spain with agent? Sorry but where are you getting this? How do you know is 'not happy there at all'?
Punches were thrown, bit of handbags and I believe Jan has fallen foul of Pochs temper because of this.
Getting it direct from the club.
These total horseshit stories always come out when a club is struggling with form. Media love to stir shit right the feck up.
I don't think everything is right with the club but no point listening to unsubstantiated rumours.
Obviously they are not true. The idea that Pochettino is going to resign three weeks into the season is laughable.
Would seem odd to go now. I read he talked Ndombele into coming to Spurs.
Can see him going at some point if it goes tits up for Zidane but I expect Poch to be there for the rest of season or at least a good chunk of it even if there's been some heated discussions.

Uh huh. I smell horseshit.Getting it direct from the club.
What do you think to Spurs poor form continuing from last season?
- Squad disharmony?
- Pochettino jaded?
- Other factors?
Recently I feel Kane is a slight letdown, seems to cut an isolated figure up front for you and maybe hasn't replicated his from from 18 / 24 months previous.....
What happened with those two ?
Smell what you like, I'm only passing on what I know and the noises within the club.
This is not the media stirring, this is from within the club.
I'm sure the media will get hold of it soon and stir it up though.
So whos gonna replace Pochettino at Spurs then?! Surely they've got a replacement if he really intends to resign so early into the season..
How do people on twitter fall for these rumours. In what world is Poch going to walk out after only a few games? He has also been backed by some very good signings in the summer. Obviously there is no chance he is getting sacked either.
So we are just supposed to believe some randomer on the internet has links in the club?
