Yeah.
The Barca job...and the Real job for that matter...are different beasts. You are not there to create a philosophy or build a project. You are there to take a money built team of the world's best players and ensure constant trophies. If that doesn't happen at the level required you're out within a year or two. I'm not convinced Poch has the right approach for that sort of thing. Plus, success at teams like that don't always show what a manager can do when the creation element of the job is harder. Just look at Mourinho and Guardiola. In some respects it is misleading success. I think Poch would like to prove himself before thinking about those kinds of jobs.
Now, Inter, Althetico, Juve, these sorts of clubs might be more realistic destinations that I could see him considering.
Of course, I could be talking complete bollocks and he'd go in a shot....
why would you leave your roast in the oven and bolt without tasting it? It's the same with Poch as yet his roast is part way through cooking, he can't be judged on how good it is until it comes out of the oven for people to eat.
Like most I feel that as long as Levy backs him he will stay. Sure the new stadium limits transfer kitty but he knew that before he took the job, in some ways it's a blessing as it keeps people off his back spending big whilst he promotes within. Imagine being at Barca and the constant pressure of signing 100m players...
Fuck that shit Poch. Stick with us we'll sing your name loud and proud for many years to come

He's not a manager who promotes spending anyway, he's spoken before about how the extreme spending culture in the PL limits youth development.
Pochettino: Spending culture damages youth development - FOX SPORTS
It's amazing how much of a perfect fit he is with the chairman's philosophy, and absurd to think that it took so many years in the wilderness to get to this point. The chairman promising manager after manager spending that just wasn't attainable by his own standards and forcing them to root around for gems in the "three for a fiver" bin.
I'd like to think it was all part of a higher plan, but like most things in football: Sometimes things click and sometimes they dont.

These constant Wilfried Zaha links worry me.
He certainly has some magic coaching dust. If we take our transfer links at face value, I believe that Mauricio is a much better coach than he is a scout.Poch might be able to sprinkle his magic dust over Zaha and Barkley.
We could honestly use an injection of pace into our squad, but Zaha is just a new-brand Andros Townsend.
That's your best reply?
De Boer did that for four years, against smaller teams across Europe.
He does not have the ability to coach an offense or a defense in a coherent way, and has never gotten a team to over-perform their talent level. Pochettino at Espanyol, Soton and now with us has got 8 years of teams doing better than their salary and talents suggest is possible. De Boer has literally never done that.
And that is what is the measure of a good manager.
At least they are over age so he wont go to prisonPoch might be able to sprinkle his magic dust over Zaha and Barkley.
well and truly brainwashed by this point and towing the party line
"Morrie... my little bubala, pop this on when you go to sleep tonight, okay?"
"Errr, What it is Daniel?"
"Dont worry yourself my little Argie prince, Uncle Danny knows best, right?"
*CLICK...... WHRRRRRRRRR
"Negative net spend..... you must achieve negative net spend."
Shocking that at this stage in his first season we had virtually twice the number of goals conceded.
