Poch after reading back in this thread
 
At least we know we'll have an honest manager that will be straight with the fans and the media, because as I understand it his nose gets longer when he lies.


Sorry.
 
Why give a 5y contract right away? I hope at least some clausules after 2 years or something.. Spurs averagely uses a manager a month or so. 5 Years seems rather unrealistic.if he is a succes he leaves for a bigger team. If he loses 5 out 12 he gets fired..
 
A couple of quotes from So'ton players on The Pochster.

Clyne - "He has been so different to any other manager. He planted it into our heads that even if we were up against bigger teams and bigger players, we could compete at the same level as them.

“He taught us never to fear them or be intimidated just because of their big names or their big reputations. He'd have us pressing high, keeping a high line, receiving the ball in difficult situations, keeping possession and basically having the confidence to play football rather than being afraid.

"The understanding in our defence was down to our training. We worked really hard on our fitness and our intensity and it showed in the games. For me personally it took my game to another level.”

Rodriguez - “Anyone will say what a great manager he is and what a good guy he is, to see how well he's done with the type of football we're playing. He's worked us hard and we've seen the benefits from it so I think he's a great manager and I love playing under him.”

Great quotes from players, I'm excited about this.
