I'm totally bemused at how some posters are vehemently against Pochettino. I understand if he's not your first or second choice even but there's a large section mainly on the caf that is seriously downplaying his career so far.
This is a manager than got both Southampton and Spurs their highest league position and points total within one and three seasons respectively. Can we not forget that Lallana, Lambert, Lovren, Shaw, Schneiderlin and Walker all got their moves to bigger clubs largely due to their performances under him.
When Jose was our manager, the caf wanted half of Spurs' first 11. Alderweireld, Kane, Dembele, Alli, Rose and Dier were players the majority of us wanted because of how they played under Pochettino. The man is a genius when it comes to getting his players getting to peak performance. Forget tactics and formations for a second and just think how good our team could be if he got our best players playing at their best.
One of the biggest criticisms of Ole is that we don't seem to have an identifiable style and we struggle with passing moves. Pochettino ticks both boxes, his teams have a clear playing style and he's shown he's fantastic at playing out from the back with his previous teams.
He's not perfect of course, he has his flaws but based on what I'm reading in this thread you'd think he's only being judged from 2018/19 onwards. Make no mistake about it, his career in the PL so far has been excellent and I've no doubt he'd be our best appointment post Fergie by a long margin.
