2 man midfield
Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
I’d take it if I were you, Poch. Nobody will employ him it seems.

Its a step downWhat's the issue with him managing Brighton exactly? He already managed Spurs.
From unemployment? Potayto/Potahto, but if he wants back in the game at this point, Brighton wouldn't be a bad destination. At least Potter has them set up for success.Its a step down
He would be a contender or on the shortlist for most big jobs when they arise so yes, Brighton is a step down.From unemployment? Potayto/Potahto, but if he wants back in the game at this point, Brighton wouldn't be a bad destination. At least Potter has them set up for success.
Someone mentioned Leicester, but I really think their leadership is a bit of a mess right now - if you thought Spurs simply didn't fund him properly, the Foxes have destroyed Rodgers on the transfer front.
I've said before but I think we'd be a really good destination for Poch. Pretty much everyone knows Gerrard is massively underachieving. Even if the squad isn't top 6 standard it should be in mix for 9th-10th so raw materials for him to work with plus we've spent more in transfer windows in last 3 seasons than he did for most of his time at Spurs. Got some exciting young players aswell so same as Spurs in 2015.From unemployment? Potayto/Potahto, but if he wants back in the game at this point, Brighton wouldn't be a bad destination.

I believe Leciester is quietly for sale, so there is no support for the manager, would be a career limiting disaster for Poch to go there.From unemployment?

Surely not.Arsenal next for him.
No chance, arteta is their new Wenger. They'll stand by him for 20 years.Arsenal next for him.
Assuming that Poch is a good manager, that actually makes some sense.I think they are much better placed in terms of squad and budget to kick up some levels under a good manager.
He will become the Argentine Alan curbishley or fat samHe'll be on the shortlist for bigger teams, but nobody sees him as a first choice. It'll only get worse the longer he remains unemployed, too.
The risk with taking a job like Brighton is that if he fails there, or doesn't at least maintain the level Potter left the club in, it's going to be hard for him to get back to the top. I think he's right in holding out for a top club for as long as he can.Historically when you look at the teams Poch has done well with, it is the teams who are of a slightly lower profile where he's given the freedom to build something.
He might be at a stage in his career where he feels he needs to hold out for a top club, or at least one who are a bit more renowned than Brighton, but I don't think it would be a disaster for him to take a bit of a step back in that respect. He needs to pick his next job wisely - much as I dislike Mourinho, he picked a team that suited him well with Roma. Poch needs to do the same.
I agree, I don't think he has much to gain following a manager like Potter either.The risk with taking a job like Brighton is that if he fails there, or doesn't at least maintain the level Potter left the club in, it's going to be hard for him to get back to the top.

Conte’s position would always be volatile at spurs to be honest. He might be doing alright right now but he also might leave at any point if the team doesn’t do well or he doesn’t feel like he is being fully backed. He’s not someone who’s gonna wait around for long building the team gradually. But I agree with you that after the World Cup some more managers would become available like Enrique.He's in that weird position where most big clubs don't view him as top choice. His realistic next possibilities are Juve and Real Madrid, the question is when Ancelotti goes and when Juve decides to replace Allegri. Tuchel is ahead of Pochettino for any big opening too.
City, Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Spurs and now Chelsea won't sack their managers for the foreseeable future. Pep and Klopp will sooner leave than any of them being sacked IMO. Xavi seems to be doing alright. Nagelsmann pretty set at Bayern. So Pochettino is essentially left between Real Madrid and Juventus as his next targets, or replacing one of the other big managers if they leave another big club to go to those 2. And he could be waiting all year. Not to mention post world Cup, who knows if Mancini, Flick, Luis Enrique will now enter the job market where they'd all get ahead of him too.
Everton will get him in when they inevitably sack Lampard. They have money and a new stadium coming, god fanbase and should be doing a lot better than they are.If there is even a very slim chance of poch contemplating taking a job outside of big 6 then Aston Villa should sack Gerrard and move heaven and earth for Pochettino. I think they are much better placed in terms of squad and budget to kick up some levels under a good manager.
I don’t think they can spend the money required to compete due to the restraints.Everton will get him in when they inevitably sack Lampard. They have money and a new stadium coming, god fanbase and should be doing a lot better than they are.
New FFP makes it easier I think, will just get fined.I don’t think they can spend the money required to compete due to the restraints.
Seems like another risky one for himLooks like OGC Nice is about to sack Favre and Pochettino seems to be the favoured replacement

I could be mistaken, but weren't there rumours that after Pochettino left Spurs and was linked with high profile jobs that his wage demands were in the Guardiola tier? Fairly delusional if so. A club like Nice may think that investing heavily in the right manager is cheaper than investing heavily in better players but it really isn't a great move for his career.Surprised Juve aren't going for him? Him or Tuchel. Maybe they don't have the financials.
I dare say this forum is the only place on Earth considering Pochettino a top coach.Surprised Juve aren't going for him? Him or Tuchel. Maybe they don't have the financials.
Oh crap, Sir Jim buys ManUtd, then later fires Erik and gets Poch, cause they became mates in Nice.#RatcliffeOut
I mean he was pretty routinely dragged through the mud when he was linked to us.I dare say this forum is the only place on Earth considering Pochettino a top coach.
This forum is, ironically, probably the only place he's not considered a top coach. He's clearly not in the elite of the elite (no one is claiming he is) but name 10 managers outside of Pep & Klopp who are better?I dare say this forum is the only place on Earth considering Pochettino a top coach.

I mean, in our current deeeeeep mess, we really need a truly hard-nosed figure on top of him being a proven winner.This forum is, ironically, probably the only place he's not considered a top coach.

I didn't put Don Carlo in there as he's retiring

In Italy, he is reputed below Sarri and above Inzaghi… and I’m not considering managers you would happily call past-it like Mourinho, Allegri and even Spalletti. If you like, AC Milan are living their Poch-like cycle with Pioli these days, and their current CL campaign would set his bar at international level: he is expected to make the QFs and then who knows, anyone can fluke a CL final or semifinal in his golden year.You still have 3 to name in my mind.
