According to the Daily Mail and one cannot but think numerous others to follow suit in the next few days, former Spurs gaffer Mauricio Pochettino now looks to be in pole position for the hot seat at one of Europe’s elite sides.
Every time Mourinho wins a game, but fails to deliver great ‘entertainment value” with it, there’s a section of Pochettino admirers in the fanbase that would still bring the Argentine back, despite the sorry way it all ended for the Magic You Know One.
The comments from these fans reacting to the potential appointment of the 46-year-old are perhaps evidence enough that the jury on Spurs’ last boss is still very much out.
Pochettino doesn’t need my advice or anyone else’s, but it might benefit him if he were to refocus his efforts upon winning a trophy or two at his next club, whomever that might be. My knowledge of Italian football is cursory, but I cannot see any Serie A side giving a coach 5 years or more to fine tune ‘a philosophy’.
For those struggling with that brutish assertion, I’d respectfully suggest a quick glance at the current league table.
Hate to say this. Arsenal won titles being pragmatic. Then bloody won titles playing the Spurs way. Dont know if we are jinxed, but our management of balancing a team has been crap for a long time. Lets win ugly , get trophies on the board & work towards doing it with style. But for every Hoddle & Waddle you need a Souness & Gemmill, a John Terry. Mourinho knows this. Poch teams good but also lacked mental strength. Dier had it right when he chopped Hazard.
Not me H.
I will take the “1-0 to the Tot-ten-ham” if it gets us over the line.
The trophy won’t have “played the worst/best football of the decade” engraved on it.
Winning is all – apologies to Billy Nic but he probably didn’t envisage the incredible decline of Spurs.
Be very interesting to see what Poch can do if he joins a club who actually give him some money to spend but who’s going down that road nowadays? The transfer market will be ‘different’, that’s for sure.
Sorry not up on the latest.
U-23 coach.
Not happening,new manager already named as Andrea Pirlo
