Another fact that we have to think is that Poch also loves PSG. he was a very estimated player there before all the cash and this was always a dream job to him. If he asks to leave after six months he will very likely never get another chance of managing there and actually achieving success in France. He won’t throw a fuss and we shouldn’t pay over 20M to get a manager. Levy needs to move on quickly.
PSG then vs PSG now. Two different clubs. As much love as he might have, probably a completely different environment compared to when he played there.
 
Mahrez is 30. Sterling is a very good player coming into his prime and English. Laporte, I don't know. If they threw in Dias, then we'd be talking.
I just think, at a fundamental level, we have to demand they give us a player that weakens them, as well.

Jesus they don’t use and Sterling they can get off their wage bill.

It’s bullshit. You want one of the best strikers in the world City, then give us your best too.
 
Aren't the "complexities" exactly the same? ten Hag Extended his contract, taking his contract end date to 2023.

And Poch contract has been extended following a clause that saw it extended following getting into CL, taking his contract to 2023.

What's the difference? (apart from the amount of compensation required).
I think it probably boils down to compensation. To buy out Poch's contract now is probably 15m at a guess, maybe more? Ten Hag probably no more than 7m (again a guess, the figures are probably out there.)

Also think there's an element of saving face for PSG. Not a great look having a manager want out after six months, how does that level of instability fit in with trying to convince Mbappe to sign a new contract?
 

TEN HAG GANG WE MOVE

I think the compensation and the resistance of the club's involved. I very much doubt ETH is on a huge salary at Ajax, 2 mill a year max imo, and if he said to Ajax that he wanted to move on they wouldn't stand in his way. Poch though is on a mega salary so the compensation is going to in the region of 10-15 apparently and it seems PSG don't want to allow him to leave
 
Why do we have to fuck about so much.

Look at the Ancelotti move to Real..
... Done and dusted in quick time with no real fuss and took everyone but surprise.


But oh no..... Not Spurs....... We have to be linked with every manager under the sun..... Have half of them "turn us down" even though we were probably not very serious about them anyway...... And now this pantomime with Poch - will he won't he?


Its just bleedin amateur half hour with us.

Just identify the target and get it done in private.

We always... Always have to dick about.
