Agreed he either accepts to work now or in the summer by signings a contract. None of this let me explore my options, in that case let’s just grab Poch or someone. Last thing we want is another Nuno type situation.
If the players know that Nagelsmann is coming in summer, then hopefully they'll pull their fingers out for the remaining 10 games.
He might not join till the summer, but surely the players aren't naive enough to think he won't be watching them these last 10 games.
I remember thinking the same about AVB........
‘A fucking monkey could win the league with the old firm’
Well one doesn’t win it every season, and that’s true of Barca/Real in Spain and Bayern in Germany too? The cut throat of nature of being in a Celtic/Rangers title race where 2nd is last is at the very least comparable with managing a relegation battler in my opinion. You’ve literally walked yourself into an argument without me trying to retort against it. I’ve said multiple times he’s not my choice. Strange behaviour. What went wrong to you in Brisbane that you have such a vendetta?
Let’s all accept this process is going to be long and drawn out and then we will end up with Nuno
No, Jol did.
Poch played him right wing or attacking midfield until Mason and Bentaleb both got injured and he was forced into it.
Pochs whole tenure at Spurs was lightning in a bottle. And something that's never gonna be replicated when he returns.
It's got more chance of being replicated than we have of being successful with almost any other manager out there.
I know Nagelsmann is sexy and new n' all but nothing he's done in his career so far is as impressive as what Poch has achieved. They both managed 2nd tier clubs but one got to a final and the other a semi, and one was competitive in the Prem and the other the Bundesliga. Both didn't really work out at an elite club.
But people want something 'new' I guess.. Poch's CV is stronger.
You can see that something new and sexy is more exciting but not necessarily better !!
Son up front would be terrible, he’s got no grit. He’s best running from deep. Richarlison upmtop, in the box is a real handful and Kene Just Beijing as a 10.
Nah, I'm sick and tired of Dier and co. raising their game for the last 10 games of the season just so they can survive at the club. It's that short termism that has made our squad stagnate to this level.
The next manager, be it Poch or Nagelsmann, should be very clear when it comes to deadwood. That means no way back for Dier, Sanchez, Sessegnon etc.
Don't really mind who it is as long as they're working hard and pressing. Maybe Richy more suited to that. If we went with 2 up top we would need whoever is partnered with Kane to be playing on the last man because Kane already comes deep. Think Son has tried to come deep to get the ball too much this season rather than constantly making runs in behind
Nagelesman or Pochettino would at least play attractive attacking football which would appease the fans somewhat and just maybe even make the players pull their socks up now after Nagelmans comments about the Spurs job. Both would have lower expectations on them as well not being ultra successful trophy getters like Jose or Conte, I think we'd all sit back and hope for a rebuild over time and maybe a top 6 finish as our immediate target.
I predict that Conte will be allowed to see out the season in trying to get top 4. The board will risk the players reaction to Conte's rant, hoping it gees them up to perform better. The risk is though he has lost the dressing room. We shall see. Either way I don't care about top 4 now, I'm looking to the future.

Both are certainly better than what we have now.
I think you're underselling Nagelsmann a little bit though. He's achieved all he had achieved by the age of 35.
Poch hadn't even hit management by that age.
Nagelsmann took Hoffenheim from 7 points from safety to Champions League within a year at the age of 29. Then went and took Leipzig to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in their career where he got them to a semi final. Only 3 managers in Bayern Munichs history have a better win percentage than him..
Poch did wonders here. And we'll always love him for what he did over those four or so years.
But he's also the manager who has the second worst win percentage at PSG since they got taken over and lost a league title in Ligue 1.
I don't think it would influence Nagelsmanns decisions per se.... But if it raises us for 10 games and gets us into champions league...... Then Nagelsmann and Champions league would be better than Nagelsmann without champs league.
It would surely give him a bit more cash to splash?
I think for all the talk of it, Kane would fail as a number 10 and that he's best suited to the quasi-false9 thing...... I can imagine Richy not getting much of a look in if played ahead of Kane in such a formation.
Nagelsmann wanted manuel neuer gone, i dont think he will have a problem getting rid of this lot, its just levy that keeps them around longer then they are needed
