Manager Mauricio Pochettino

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This is so boring now:

Why would he leave for Madrid he (as well as everyone else) knows he'd out on his ear sooner rather than later. If RM legend ZZ who's won everything is getting all this shit after his first sticky period. They won't stand for a Poch project.

These are the last 13 managers life expectancy is pretty low;

Carlos Quieroz
12 months June 2003 – May 2004
Jose Camacho6 months May – September 2004
Marcel Garcia Remon4 months September December 2004
Vanderlei Luxembergo13 months December 2004 – December 2005
Juan Ramon Lopez Caro6 months December 2005 – June 2006
Fabio Capello - 12 months July 2006 – June 2007
Bernd Schuster18 months June 2007 – December 2008
Juande Ramos7 months December 2008 – June 2009
Manuel Pelligrini12 months June 2009 – May 2010
Jose Mourihno36 months May 2010 –June 2013
Carlo Ancelotti24 months June 2013 – May 2015
Rafa Benitez- 8 months June 2015 – January 2016
Zinedine Zidane -24 months* January 2016 - present
 
Wouldn't worry about Poch and Real, he isn't good enough at the moment.
Also, when are we going to talk about the academy? Whenever youth players like KWP are played, they're seemingly always played out of position and we rarely see them in cup games. Sterling and Edwards could imo easily replace Llorente and N'koudou, millions thrown away on players taking minutes from our academy. Also really starting to think Poch overvalues physical attributes, it genuinely feels like anybody below 6 ft is being written off

I suppose it's called ambition. He has a 100% chance of trophies, he can double his money and in the Spanish speaking world it's the pinnacle.
Stay with us , the league here is totally doctored to the corrupt money teams , our owners are very prudent and it' nearly impossible to win anything.
Maybe he wants his stay in the sun , or they are just using him to get Kane, but if you cant beat them you may as well join them.

How many trophies will Real win this season? Out of the domestic league and cup and if they win CL then job will not be available. No guarantee of trophies and if he fails then he will be sacked after one season.

Spot on mate - Josh Onomah was played on the wing and understandably underwhelmed. I look at Townsend and Pritchard, players with the capacity to do something different from the bench, and can think of numerous times such a player was required to change the course of a game, but they were bombed out by the boss without ever really being given an opportunity. So much for being an academy advocate....

A lot of people are staunchly defensive of him, because him being here has coincided with the most relatively ‘successful’ period for generations (without actually being successful....) but many times he’s proven to be too one-dimensional and lacking the pragmatism to overcome the diverse challenges of a domestic season.

If Mourinho has this squad for the past 3 seasons, he likely wins 2 titles; same applies to Conte, Pep ect...but Pocch could conceivably miss out on the top 4 this year.

In his early 40’s, Rafa Benitez was winning domestic and European silverware with Valencia, and Champions Leagues with Milan Baros, Igor Biscan and Luis Garcia at Liverpool - that’s the standard of coach the club Levy has created deserves - someone who can win. Pocchettino’s work so far can only be compared to that of other Premier League nearly men like Keegan, David O’Leary ect.
 
Media: Poch sucks, he hasn’t won any trophies!
Also Media: Poch is clearly going to Madrid!

So that's at least six titles won (plus the ect (sic)) in just 'the past 3 seasons' that's some feckin' achievement .... either that or you haven't got a freckin clue .....

and just which of these 'guaranteed winning' managers won't win the EPL this year? that's despite all having spent vastly more than Poch .....

Virtually every player in our squad was a nobody before being coached by Poch, maybe he doesn't have what it takes to win loads of trophies - but his ability to turn a player with potential into one that you think should be winning the league is virtually second to none.

His attributes compared to Mourinho's are rarer, more valuable and more sustainable.
