I’m glad someone does.
I was thinking this was all an elaborate prank and that Jimmy Bullard was about to photobomb and shout, “WAASSUP!”
That's just what they want you to think

His coaching staff is one of the reasons why I'm still open to him coming back.
Wells and Mason have big futures ahead of them but both need to go and get a lower league team to be the Head Coach now.
Levy giving no fucks being seen in public with Poch
fake news
It might be an old photograph.
Hopefully all of them go, complete clean slate and let the new manager bring in a full team.
Once Ange is gone, Mason needs to go and take a head coach role somewhere and get his career moving solo, and the crew who came from Hibs or wherever it was can just see themselves out.
It's at most a month or two old. The café it is taken at opened last summer. And the way they dress say that it wasn't taken in August or September.
The thread on Spurscommunity that these are coming from claim that they were taken two weeks ago.

Mauricio Pochettino: ‘Trump asked if US can win the World Cup’

Assessing the chances of Mauricio Pochettino returning to manage Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the 2024-2025 season involves considering several factors: his current role, Tottenham's managerial situation, his past relationship with the club, and the sentiments of key stakeholders like chairman Daniel Levy and the fanbase. As of March 20, 2025, here’s a breakdown based on available information and reasonable speculation.
Pochettino is currently the head coach of the United States men’s national team, a position he took in September 2024. His commitment there is focused on leading the team into the 2026 World Cup, which the U.S. will co-host. This timeline suggests he’s locked in through at least mid-2026, making an exit at the end of the 2024-2025 season (around May 2025) unlikely unless something drastic changes—say, a mutual parting or an irresistible pull from Tottenham. He’s expressed enthusiasm for the U.S. job, but he’s also repeatedly voiced a deep emotional connection to Spurs, saying as recently as March 2025 that he’d “love one day to come back to Tottenham” because it feels like “unfinished business” (The Athletic, ESPN). This keeps the door ajar, though timing is a hurdle.
At Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou is under pressure. As of mid-March 2025, Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League after a string of poor results, including six losses in seven games (Mirror Online, football.london). Fan frustration is high, and while chairman Daniel Levy has historically been patient—sticking with Postecoglou despite the slump—continued failure could force a change by season’s end. The Europa League offers Postecoglou a lifeline; if he wins it, he might stay. But if Spurs crash out (they’re trailing AZ Alkmaar 1-0 after the first leg) and miss European qualification, the sack becomes more plausible. Reports suggest Levy has a shortlist of replacements, with names like Edin Terzic and Thomas Frank mentioned, but Pochettino’s name keeps surfacing due to his history (Spurs Web, football.london).
Pochettino’s tenure at Spurs (2014-2019) was transformative—second in the Premier League in 2016-17, a Champions League final in 2019—and he’s still adored by many fans. His ability to develop young talent and unite a squad aligns with Tottenham’s current needs, especially given their injury-ravaged, youthful roster. However, Levy sacked him in 2019 after a poor run, and their personal rapport (still “very good,” per Pochettino to Sky Sports) doesn’t guarantee a professional reunion. Levy’s decision to pick Postecoglou over Pochettino in 2023, when the latter was available post-Chelsea, hints at reluctance to revisit the past (Spurs Web). Plus, Pochettino’s stint at rivals Chelsea in 2023-24 might irk some fans, though his Spurs legacy likely overshadows that.
The practical odds? Slim in the immediate term. Journalist Dean Jones told GiveMeSport in January 2025 that a Pochettino return is “very unlikely” due to his U.S. commitments, a view echoed across sources (OneFootball, football.london). Even if Postecoglou is sacked, Tottenham would likely opt for an available manager rather than wait for Pochettino to negotiate an early exit from the USMNT, which could be messy and costly. Sentiment on X reflects this split: some fans dream of his return, others see it as nostalgic fantasy unlikely before 2026.
So, at the end of the 2024-2025 season, I’d peg the chances at around 10-15%. It hinges on Postecoglou failing spectacularly, Levy reversing his apparent stance, and Pochettino being willing—and able—to abandon the U.S. project prematurely. More likely, any return would come post-2026, if at all. For now, it’s a tantalizing “what if” rather than a probable outcome.
