Top ten Premier League managers who have won f*** alll - Football365
1) Mauricio Pochettino
Like the fluctuating levels of FA Cup magic, the dominance or demise of Premier League clubs in Europe or the degree to which international football is broken, Mauricio Pochettino’s lack of honours has become one of the sport’s interminable debates, destined to be dredged up as a laborious topic at intermittent points throughout the season.
To have no opinion is to have the wrong opinion. One must either consider Pochettino’s empty trophy cabinet as a slur on the game itself and an example of his limitations as a coach, or merely a reflection of the silverware-starved teams he has managed. The middle ground – that he has exceeded expectations wherever he has gone without having anything tangible to show for it – is uninhabitable.
Would winning the FA Cup really augment his reputation? Should his time at Espanyol be largely overlooked because he failed to deliver an unthinkable Copa del Rey? Is his ability to shatter glass ceilings worth nothing because he doesn’t have an Argentinean league title to his name?
He took over a Tottenham team that had finished sixth, ten points behind fourth, in 2014. They have since come fifth, third, second and third, reaching one cup final, two semi-finals and a Champions League quarter-final under his tutelage. Yet the lack of an FA Cup is enough for some to scoff at his credentials.
When asked about Tottenham’s priorities for the upcoming season, with European glory still a distant but distinct possibility this campaign, Daniel Levy captured the conundrum. Tottenham’s chairman said Pochettino “wants to win all four competitions”, but that the Premier League and Champions League “are the main competitions you’re judged on”.
It will forever remain that way. Tottenham had never finished above fourth in the Premier League and had enjoyed a single season in the Champions League in their entire history before his appointment, but they are now required to win one or the other for Pochettino to be given his due. That only ten managers have ever won more Premier League games is too often forgotten.

More that comec out I'm convinced that Dean said something to Poch that compromised his integrity. So that FA have flung the book at him to make sure he keeps quite, just was so out of charcter and the shouts of you know what you are
Good fact
David O'Leary 3rd on the list? Pochettino at number 1? The comfort I get knowing that this person will eventually get found out for being shit a top his job comforts my overwhelming rage right now.
Also why is Keegan nowhere to be seen? If this is based on management success he's got to be in there surely?!
Probably doesn't count since he's won three lower leagues?
You did read what he wrote mate? He's not having a pop, admittedly the title is there to ignite some anger but the words are spot on IMO.
Good trivia question to name them
Right... now the Real Madrid/Man Utd. nonsense has settled down, can we just get on with winning every remaining game now, please?
...though I assume the papers will soon find a way to spin it that "Disappointed Poch loses the dressing room"
"Poch despondent at training today when he realised his 'dream moves' to Real/Utd were off..."

But only a 3 year deal.
Translates as a Trust level of Solskjaer at ManU of 7/10 ? Otherwise should be a 5 year deal like Poch

What will it take for Spurs fans to understand our Club, our philosophy? When will our fans stop knee-jerking at a headline and just be confident in the words that come out of the Club from both it's Chairman and Manager? Your insecurities provide all the clickbait in the first place, you feed them rather than feeling confident in what the Club is building. But when you hold an agenda and want ENIC out then you will look towards EVERY negative headline as a vehicle to spout your shite, even when they aren't true or are the opposing club manipulating the media towards their advantage. Still waiting for the mass exodus of players, still waiting for the manager to leave, still waiting for fans to get in tune with the Club and the Manager.

This.
When Poch got his pay rise and his new contract is was obvious to some his level of commitment to the club.
His staff are here, his son plays for us, and he is an integral part of the club, policy, transfer window and entire set up.
Some of us have tried explaining this for a couple years, while others prefer the mantra that Poch is a victim of this club, trapped by lies and not a pot to piss in.
Bizarre. Spurs fans should know better. Spurs fans should understand the club they support, and the words coming from it.
Reading between the lines yet keep getting it wrong.....leave that to the gutter press and jealous oppo fans eh
Graham Roberts pretty much said what you did the other month at a legends night.
Don’t recall a single fan claiming Poch is 100% leaving. Unless you’re using the gutter media clickbait headlines to berate fans on here - classy as usual
There will ALWAYS be speculation stemming from the megga clubs (Real Madrid, Barca, Man U etc) a lot of what we have is envied by these same Clubs, they will do everything to take it and/or upset it, but for nearly 5yrs now NOTHING. They have failed, with the only exception of City taking Walker, no club has succeeded to take from us!! What does affect us is our fans not having the confidence to deal with it, surely now is the time to wake up and take notice??

I think the vast majority of level headed fans knew from day one Poch wasn't going anywhere tbh, there will always be meltdowns but I really don't think there was one about the real/united media push tbf
