While I won't go so far as to call anyone deluded, I totally agree with this post. When I look at Poch's career (CV) I am very impressed. His southampton side were brilliant for their level and the amount of young players he's helped through is astounding, I'd love to see the effect Poch has on Sancho, Greenwood and Rashford and even McT and Martial to be honest could actually thrive under this guy.
Pochettino wanting to come to United right away news is gathering pace. Either its just the media copying from each other and it all started by someone's invention or there's something in it.
Would be classic a United move, since the very same manager was unemployed during the previous period of 'sackable' form from our former manager.
Oh mate. So far you've tried to argue that
- £400M is more than £412M
- £80M a season is the same as £160M a season
- Spending less than all of your rivals makes you a big spender.
Well we managed to let go of Pogba for free, sign him and he'll go for free again so anything is possible.
They'll naturally be a purple patch if and when Poch arrives but one thing I evidently remember was how it took Spurs atlteast a campaign to get going under him consistently. I remember the football at the start of his reign being fully based on worth ethic, the style itself was ugly and patchy.
I think that he did a good job but I don't find it impressive. Why would I find it impressive? I don't find Redknapp's CV impressive and it's no worse. What is simplistic is to claim that his CV is impressive without explaining yourself, he won nothing not even a cup and overall had subpar performances in Europe outside of one out of 6 seasons. He is a good coach that could give us a high floor and for that reason I'm against him, I just have doubts about our ceiling with him.
I have no issue with you preferring Pochettino to Zidane but it doesn't mean that Pochettino's CV is impressive.
White text?
Surely people should be excited if a manager wants the job so badly he’d leave mid season for it.
That for me is a massive massive plus.

Pitch
It’s not a big enough window to judge anything from
to be fair he wasn’t competing against the big spending sides when he was on top at Spurs? Everyone of us had fallen away and he was failing v Arsenal and Leicester and he spent more than those sides.

My first choice is still ETH but Id be delighted with Poch, PL proven, obviously wants to be here, has been at PSG so wont be over-awed a la Moyes, will make some of our lazy shits run their asses off. Im in.
Agreed. It could be a match in heaven. Him wanting to come is really a massive thing tbh.
Although it could be a disaster too but that's life.
Certainly.
That was one season. Over the following 3 seasons the other teams in the top 4 were City, Chelsea, Liverpool, United.
£427m is more than £412, not a lot more, but definitely more and is a lot of money, which was my whole point entirely.
I don't think anyone can deny that £400m plus is a lot of money to spend, especially put in the context of where Spurs were when Poch took over (as I've said previously, one high spending window just before Poch came in due to Bale money, other than that their spending was very very small).
So again, thanks for reiterating my point, I'm leaving it here as I am now confused as to what point you are trying to make. Cheers.
You realise that "not sure who but could do better" is a contradiction?
So true
So (if it is Poch) to put a positive spin on it, he is a big upgrade on Ole who managed to come 2nd last season. He's got good PL experience and is hungry for the job. Willing to walk away from mega rich PSG.
It's a good move for us to bring him in now, surely?

I also remember it like this.
They did play some very good football after a while though. A brilliant attacking display at Everton around xmas time seems to stand out. Think they scored 6 with Son running riot.
If you'd read my original post you'd have seen that the £427M includes money spent on Bergweijn after Poch had left- £27M in fact. So, no, you're wrong.
In the 10 years before Poch arrived they were the 5th biggest spenders in the league. Under Poch, they were 6th. So nope, you're dead wrong again.
On the contrary watching you twist like this is delightful. Lets carry on.
Would potentially save our season if we can get Poch in before xmas. Finger crossed this actually happens.
Yeh you’d probably be right. Poch did an excellent job at Spurs, even if he didn’t ultimately win them anything.
What’s the chances he’ll be in the dugout for the Chelsea game this Sunday?
I think Chelsea may be slightly too soon but the next game I think is 70/30.
Please don't quote Footmercato.
poch to manutd, replaced with zidane in psg. well, doesnt sound bad at all
He’ll be in the stands. It’ll move very rapidly after tomorrow’s game I think.
Poch can only come if PSG have a replacement lined up. Is that person Zidane and if so has he said that he wants to manage PSG? If not then Poch ain't coming.
Agreed, especially if it means we can avoid writing off the season with an interim who probably won't achieve top 4
Does he teams all play the same way? If so, what style?
Sorry, I'll ask for your approval next time!Please don't quote Footmercato.
PSG are a club that like to keep scores, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they let Poch leave and then aggressively pursue Pogba in January just to get one over us. I don't mind one bit if that show pony fecks off to France but something to keep in mind.
I take it the Meerkat is unreliable?Please don't quote Footmercato.
Well, the caf demands to be careful with the sources we share. Footmercato is an aggregator that publish nonsense.
He will literally be in Manchester this week, surely we meet with him.
Are they banned?
