It's funny how just as it seems to be the case with signings, getting a new manager Isn't As Simple As Going To The Corner Shop For A Pint Of Milk, yet every other club manages to do it with an absolute minimum of faffing about.

Pint of milk? That'll be £1.20 sir.
I'll give you £1.
No, it's £1.20.
I'll give you £1. I'll give you £1. I'll give you £1. I'll give you £1. I'll give you £1. I'll give you £1.
Oh for fuck's sake, go on have it for a pound, just leave me in peace.
I'll give you 80p.

Probably time to forget about thinking about this, get on with our lives and when it happens it happens?

Maybe it is Levy's plan to make me feel apathetic with everything to do with THFC. He's even managed to make the new manager search as boring as fuck. All it is doing is going round in circles every day.

The press / itk's are going round in circles, because they don't really have any info

Then someone else comes in one minute before closing, offers 81p and he accepts it.
 
For better or worse said:
it's a game of politics:

  • PSG quite rightly want to save face
  • PSG would rather have compensation then let him walk
  • Levy wants to pay as little compensation as possible

For PSG they are likely to want a manager lined up that will take them to the next level and please the fans. This could be Conte

We have likely shown an interested in Poch but would rather he resigned and his contract was cancelled by mutual consent. In order for this to happen PSG need a replacement lined up.

None of this impacts deals for new players being worked on, lots are either on holiday or away with their national team for the Euros so another week really makes very little difference. For Spurs they can likely save £5-10m if they manage this right. It's not chump change here.

The reports of Ten Hag are likely circulating to put pressure on PSG, so they realise they might be left with an unhappy manager when they really prefer someone else.

I wonder if the hold up is actually PSG securing their new manager, they likely want this tied up before Poch is allowed to leave so we have to be patient.

Or do we really know if Poch has actually told PSG he wants to leave. It could all be media PR
