i looked a few weeks ago and the manager fee has to be negotiated by two clubs not the Managers wages over the contract.
could be wrong but i believe thats the case.
I wanted to post a joke along the lines of 'I hope Poch takes their call, he can then put an offer in for player x...'
Problem is I couldn't think of a single player I'd want.
And that's why Poch isn't going there!

That's just his wages x by the amount of time on his contract - they are completely guessing
I'm pretty sure you're right. Clubs have to ask permission to speak to another club's manager - if paying out the wages was all that needed to be done that makes permission redundant.
What, that just means that Levy has lied to Poch, screwed him over, then trapped him out of TWO dream jobs now
Not even worried. Why would he go there to spend the first two years plus completing gutting their squad to make it competitive.
Too much argumentative back and forth on here over nothing that concerns us.

Yep. Madrid vacancies worry me far more, reckon if he leaves us at some point it’ll be to try his hand at the toughest job in world football, trying to please the Madridistas and Perez
He's right to just ignore the question - it's not worthy of a response
I’d love to see Utd go for klopp. It would be hillarious . Not impossible .
He has spent all of money, a cl exit and a bad run of form , end up finishing 4th again . Utd should just send someone round to his house and say name your price and we will see you in the summer .
He must of had enough of living in that shithole by now . Those horrible accents must be grating on him

I agree I just expected a bit more.
Hopefully he can use this to put a bit of pressure on Levy to give him cash to spend at least.
for as move to Manchester? much of the same
Interesting choice of words mate, clever in what way?
I'm not saying Poch will leave or won't, I genuinely don't know, but just playing devils advocate here, one school of thought might be "if I can achieve what I have with Spurs on a relatively tight budget, maybe I could win the league and CL with ManU's budget" ?
I'm not criticising Levy in any way shape or form, I think he's possibly the best chairman in this league, I hope he stays, but there's plenty of perfectly logical reasons why he would consider leaving. He's an ambitious guy, he nows football is a very short term industry. ManU will pay him even more than the ludicrously generous salary we do, and they will almost certainly make large funds available to him to strengthen what is already a talented team.
I find it highly amusing that people think levy said "100 million for transfers, sign here" and then said "what 100 million" before the ink dried. The reality is some of you cockwombles believed every tweet saying we were interested in player X, and put two and two together to make "lolz transfers". The reality is that none of us has the foggiest as to how transfers are done within the club.
If he goes he goes. If he stays he stays.
The earth will continue to spin on

Fuck Man Ure
Fuck Jose
Fuck Klopp
Fuck the Chavs
Fuck the Gooners
Fuck em all
We're Spurs, and no matter how much everyone tries to unsettle us and give us shit, we take it, deal with it and keep on getting better.
The fear amongst the "traditionalists" in the English game is palpable. Spurs under Pochettino are still building, still improving. The day is coming when we look down on you all.

Not really, just a statement of fact. Just trying to make the point that spending money alone is not what we need.
Yes I could use Man City or Chelsea but they have so much money to spend that they can afford to make expensive mistakes and write them off. Look at Man Utd, spent a fortune the last few seasons but worked infrequently.
We are somewhere in between and are trying to buy the right players for the right price who will fit our system and style of play not spend money for the sake of it which is something Poch has come out himself and said on a few occasions.
If it wasn't for the LOLC we'd be playing in Stratford. We had plans in place to redevelop the stadium when Levy took over, he shelved them. So lets not blow too much smoke up his sphincter.
