Robster Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 We're suddenly discussing whether Pochettino is good enough for us. What a crazy world we live in I want Rafa back but would welcome Pochettino with open arms. That level of appointment is what we all dream of.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'd still take Poch as 1st or 2nd choice, but I still think he's not world class yet. World class get's used too much imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 We're still a mid to low table club guys. Klopp isn't gonna fancy us quite yet, regardless of the future investment. If Rafa had never managed us everyone would be more than happy with Poch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Rafa 234 (66.9%) Kev 17 (4.9%) Alleg 34 (9.7%) Poch 46 (13.1%) Nag 19 (5.4%) So if the 70 people who didn't vote for Poch or Rafa are forced to choose one of them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Emotially speaking, Rafa is my first choice for what he'd do and restructure the club from top to bottom. You know he loves us and for everything he done for us - especially if it involved sourcing Staveley's interest - he absolutely sure as shit deserves the chance to finish what he started and win us a trophy. In other circumstances, had Spurs not sacked Poch I would have took Jose. Not for his pedigree and I'm unconvinced about him as a top manager in todays game now, however again I'd have loved him to have won a trophy for us. He's always been extremely complimentary about the club, the fans and Bobby was like a father figure to him. Again, him winning us a trophy and dedicating it to "Mr. Robson" and the fans would have been a massive tear-jerker. Thinking about it with a level-head, I think for the type of football Poch plays and his experience in quickly improving teams - see how he quickly transformed Southampton to European contenders and Spurs to title challengers from their previous positions - I think he's the perfect man for the job.

marki Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 im hoping the lower buyout cost was factoring in the 20 mil buy out of rafas contract and he will be back in his office here very soon..not a fan of poch for no particular reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Rafa with money seems like the ideal solution to years of neglect. I'd get him on a 3 year deal and see where we are at the end of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'd go for Rafa as my number 1 by quite some distance. Nagelsmann as my number 2. Poch over Bruceosaurus hmmmmmmmm. Do I wanna stick with the Fiat Punto or Ferrari? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Rafa aside we’ve been dining on a feast of Bruce, Schteve and Pardew/Carver. Pochettino would be like going from dating 1s to a 9 overnight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I think Poch would be great. I understand some of the criticisms leveled at him. But also feel they're not allowing for the Levy factor. As I've said on here, I have a lot of match going Spurs mates and to a man, they all loved him. Seems to think he'd be a great fit for us. Would still rather Rafa or Allegri, mind. At least they are proven. Going all the way to the CL final is not an achievement? Yes, it is. Not a trophy, though. Unless you get participation ones like some schools dish out. I like Poch and the football his teams play. I'd be over the moon if we got him. I'd just rather Allegri or Rafa. I think they're proven winners and at this stage of their careers, better managers and arguably a safer option. The most important point is the football he plays. The other two as much as successful they are there football style is boring. With the world richest owners we can afford to be entertain and go from there to win trophies. If Poch was allowed to buy more players at Spurs he would have won more trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Poch is such an in the box appointment man. Really? He is the only one on the list who can excite us with his football. I am glad the new owners see it like that. This confirm to me they mean business. If it isn’t going to be a top tier manager along the lines of Rafa, Allegri, Nagelsmann, Tuchel etc I’d rather we’d have gone a bit more interesting than Poch like Bielsa or even Galtier. Someone of that style. I don’t hate Poch I think he’s a good manager but I’ve never really seen Spurs as this exciting style people seem to keep mentioning nor has he really achieved anything for a £19m per year contract. I’m a big believer in trusting supports who watch it though and like Lush Vlad has said a few times his Spurs mates still hold him in high regard so I’m probably wrong. What it is is a wonderful problem to be discussing rather than the usual issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Also, the summer where Levy didn't back him ended up with the Champions League final. When he did spend this time, it started to collapse. Eriksen does seem a bit of a dickhead, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Rafa, the gameplan was often different depending who we played. Once we finally had some half-decent attacking players. The football was much better than people seem to give him credit for. Back end of his last season was often great to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
