career ending
There’s already talk of Sarri getting the bullet at the end of this season.Pep would take a year out then replace Sarri at Juve.

It's not a direct reply to anything. It's simply blatantly off topic because building a stadium has 1000,% NOTHING to do with a single thing I talked about. Nor what I openly criticise pochetino for. This is not a concept that is hard to understand.It's a direct reply to your claim that Pochettino passed up on the chance to win trophies - if that makes it "off topic" in your eyes, then so must be the claim that you made in the first place.
Wrong. Suposedly "Priotising' a top 4 place over winning ANY winnable trophy. To be a mere participant in trophies and competions you haven't the slightest realistic chance of winning, shows you either:Prioritising one thing over another does not mean "passing up" on the other thing. It means that the other thing is of lower priority, but can still be important.
A ludicrous excuse. He was a mere participant. His loss in the final was yet again proof of this. You don't breed a winning mentality off of losing the first major final you get to.Moreover, did Pochettino "pass up" the chance to win the CL last season?
Then why was he sacked? Then replaced by a trophy hound? Why wasn't he trusted to build on this achievement you are eager to highlight?And this coincided with the period after our new stadium had been finished and became open for business, whereas all of Pochettino's tenure at Spurs prior to that was during a period when, as I said earlier, Levy's brief for him was to ensure (for financial reasons linked to stadium funding) - as the top priority - a top 4 place.

Not true, because as I've already said the need to finish top 4 (to maximise income) was directly related to prioritising the league over cup trophies.
Wrong. Suposedly "Priotising' a top 4 place over winning ANY winnable trophy. To be a mere participant in trophies and competions you haven't the slightest realistic chance of winning, shows you either:
a) don't understand how a winning culture is built
b) simply don't value winning things as an ambition
Reaching the CL final is hardly being a "mere participant" in the CL. Nor does it translate to being in "competitions you haven't the slightest realistic chance of winning". Moreover, had that dubious penalty against Sissoko for handball not been awarded so early in the game, the result might have different.
It has absolute nothing to do with it being of 'less priority and still important".
A ludicrous excuse. He was a mere participant. His loss in the final was yet again proof of this. You don't breed a winning mentality off of losing the first major final you get to.
You've changed your argument (surprise, surprise). First you claimed that Pochettino deliberately "passed up" all chances of winning any trophies, but now you claim he lost the CL final because he's a loser. You can't have it both ways.
Nothing about getting to that final shows
Pochetino is the man to regularly get a team there. Let alone to win it.
Then why was he sacked? Then replaced by a trophy hound? Why wasn't he trusted to build on this achievement you are eager to highlight?
He was sacked because the team performances and results seriously declined from the start of this season onwards. And maybe, for all anyone know, he wanted to leave anyway.
Only we could feck something so simple up. Finishing 5th, getting Poch and then Sancho should be the only plan this club has but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that isn’t even crossing their dumb little minds.Trying to imagine the fallout if Utd allow Pochattino go to City.
Ed, stop faffing about, pay Spurs the Pochettino contract clause and sign him up.
Hopefully this will push club to make quick decisions.Tweet

Yeah, people are clamouring for a manager who’s won absolutely nothing...I can imagine these stories of Poch to City will do a lot to push fans off the fence about Ole. It would be a canny move by our Chief Executive (and his PR assistant) to leak such a story in order to get public opinion on his side [/tinfoilhat]
Kin hell crossy, you can't be that blind...Yeah, people are clamouring for a manager who’s won absolutely nothing...
Never a fan of waiting until the summer myself.Yeah, people are clamouring for a manager who’s won absolutely nothing...
If Solskjaer does get fired we should wait until the summer and asses our options. Panic appointing Pochettino just because City are considering speaking to him is very stupid.
If you do the deal early, the new man can already be watching closely, getting scouting reports daily etc.Never a fan of waiting until the summer myself.
Getting them in now enables them to lay the groundwork for the summer and also gets the inevitable "Need to see what they can do for myself" chances that Jones, Lingard etc get, out of the way.
Actually it was 2007-08, but still a long while ago.….
• The last time Tottenham won a major honour: 1991 (Poch was 19 years old) ...
Not sure about the maths there.Kin hell crossy, you can't be that blind...
• The last time Espanyol won a major honour: 2006 (Poch was an Espanyol player)
• The last time Southampton won a major honour: 1976 (Poch wasn't born)
• The last time Tottenham won a major honour: 1991 (Poch was 19 years old)
Now where exactly was he expected to win that major honour in that list of incredible serial winners? Surely the only criteria these clubs had at the time of his hiring was:
• Espanyol - save us from relegation, then make us comfortable in the league
• Southampton - make us a top 10 side
• Spurs - make us a Champions League regular
Looking at that criteria you surely know that he overachieved at Spurs in particular? He not only made them a CL regular but took them to 2nd in the Premier League and 2nd in the Champions League which was beyond Levy and any Spurs fans wildest dreams when he took the job. Swapping that CL final appearance out for a single FA Cup win does nothing for me, one is a clearly a much greater achievement.
hahhaha, I think I wrote the first one before checking his DOB, then forgot to edit it. haha.Not sure about the maths there.
Bravo. I hate it when people say Poch hasn't won anything. It about where he got the team from when he started to when he left. Spurs were in a much better position when he left the club and he had spent nothing in modern terms on transfers.Kin hell crossy, you can't be that blind...

Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a good manager and he’s done some good things at the clubs he’s worked at, but so was Marco Silva at one point and not to mention every single 30-something German manager.Kin hell crossy, you can't be that blind...

Exactly, yet the same people will say hire Rose or Nagglesman too.Bravo. I hate it when people say Poch hasn't won anything. It about where he got the team from when he started to when he left. Spurs were in a much better position when he left the club and he had spent nothing in modern terms on transfers.
They definitely won’t because they fall hugely in the same bracketExactly, yet the same people will say hire Rose or Nagglesman too.
Poch has never been tasked to winning a trophy, does that mean he can't?
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he'll come here and do a Klopp, that much no-one can be sure of. However, if we had to place a £10,000 bet on who'd take us to loftier positions out of Poch and OGS if both were our managers for the next 3 years, I think even the most ardent of Ole backers would bet on the man from Argentina.Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a good manager and he’s done some good things at the clubs he’s worked at, but so was Marco Silva at one point and not to mention every single 30-something German manager.
I’m just not convinced that we’ve got the right environment for a manager like Pochettino to succeed, I’ll gladly be proven wrong though should he get the job.
I stand by the window nothing comment though, whether it’s him or the players he’s managed, they always seem to absolutely bottle it during crunch times and a Spurs supporting mate of mine said his game management isn’t on par with the best managers around.
We’ll see though, whatever happens next happens.
This is the caf, you'd be surprised. It is too soon to take any risk on Nagglesman who is young, Poch is tried and tested in the PL for getting the best out the teams.They definitely won’t because they fall hugely in the same bracket
Who do you want then? Ole is way out of his depth. Klopp and Pep can never sign for us. Conte and Simeone may bring success but they sign old players with a very different style to what United want. You are then left with Poch and maybe 3/4 others.Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a good manager and he’s done some good things at the clubs he’s worked at, but so was Marco Silva at one point and not to mention every single 30-something German manager.

So keeping Ole is better than Poch?Sorry what has Poch won exactly? He's a bluffer who moves on or gets moved on. He's Mr Potential, he's not actually achieved anything. Him and Ole have the same amount of PL titles. Ole has actually won leagues before. Yes he got Cardiff relegated but Klopp got his first side relegated too. Ole is very early in his career, Poch is midway through and has nothing to show for it.

Sure @FletchageddonOle is very early in his career, Poch is midway through and has nothing to show for it.
I could go deeper into debunking this silly post, but i'll keep it simple:Sorry what has Poch won exactly? He's a bluffer who moves on or gets moved on.

I could go deeper into debunking this silly post, but i'll keep it simple:
United haven't had one single genuine title challenge since Sir Alex left. Not one. Every season has been a write-off by October.
Pochettino had several title challenges with Spurs, who i don't remember having a single title challenge in my lifetime before he took charge. And he took them to the latest CL Final.
His style of football was better than anything we've seen for 7 years too.
Goes to show how seriously people take Ole’s Norway career.You’re trolling right?
Ole started his coaching career the year before Poch did!
What is Poch exactly expected to win with Spurs in a era where Pep’s Man City and Klopp’s Liverpool exist?Sorry what has Poch won exactly? He's a bluffer who moves on or gets moved on.

Personally, and this won’t be a popular pick, but I’d go Bielsa under the condition that he gets a minimum of three full seasons.Who do you want then? Ole is way out of his depth. Klopp and Pep can never sign for us. Conte and Simeone may bring success but they sign old players with a very different style to what United want. You are then left with Poch and maybe 3/4 others.
Yes. If he's not performing to standard (or if you think you can do even better with someone else) you sack him. We're looking for a coach, not a father figure for our damaged fanbase.Got it. And after three years if we aren’t challenging- a sack?
On a side note- I think Poch should be scouting at the moment. He has time to go and personally see players at a lower level. Would be good info for whoever hires him.
