He is perhaps the most iconic and influential manager you've had in decades. By accounts of most Spurs fans here, he 'loves the club' and will not leave until he is done with his 'project'. While it is usual for players to have their heads turned at top clubs, I've not heard of good managers leaving their 'projects' at 'top' clubs unfinished. City had to wait for Pep at Bayern. Lots of clubs missed out on Klopp because of his goals at Dortmund. Even Benitez is committed to fecking
Newcastle.
And here is Poch embracing the interest from Madrid and talking about a possible move while you're still struggling to get a trophy with a team of a caliber which cannot be reassembled easily by a club of your stature. This is not 'stepping stone' stuff, more 'divorce your wife of 6 years to get laid with the hot chick next door'.
I'm still pissed about us not being that hot chick, mind you.
