Love the guy post your memories
We were extremely blessed to have him and his mentality at the club for 5 years.
Poch, even if a new manager comes in and wins a trophy I think I will still love you more than that guy. You made me feel things for my club that I dreamed of feeling when I was a kid while at that time such dreams were only available to my glory supporting mates. Your magic transformed us. You forced the rest of the league to take us seriously, and even when they resisted the need to do so you kept at it until even the most bias fan, player, manager, pundit could no longer sustain their wish to openly express their wish for us to fail. It doesn't matter that it went wrong in the end, I will always be grateful to you for all you have done. You are a legend at Spurs, of that there is no question.
What a manager, and what a man.
When I fell in love with this club, the concept of having one of the best squads in the league and being consistently competitive in multiple competitions was completely foreign.
Pochettino took the beautiful, attacking side of Spurs, developed individual players, and made them work.
I hope, and am after reflection almost completely confident that Mourinho is the man to win the league and domestic & European trophies. However, he would not have been able to come into this club and do that without what Poch has done, and the foundations he has built.
Thanks Mauricio. You're magic.

Thanks for the journey, the improvement the good times. There were many.
First manager that I have felt a real connection with on a personal / philosophical level. He brought a whole new energy and perspective to the club and pushed us even more than I initially thought we could.
Really going to miss this bloke and hope he goes down as one of the clubs best ever, as I think he deserves.

5-3 against Chelsea.
He promised he would make us proud of the club again - he did
today I don't feel proud of the club

Best tweet I’ve seen said “don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. “
A good few individual moments,so just going to go with Thank you Mr Pochettino for enabling us to lord it over Woolwich for the last few seasons. Good luck,and God bless
I was bought up in the 90's and let's face it we were a laughing stock. Never thought I'd see the day when the big teams start to fear us, and we become a team that everyone wants to avoid. Poch took us to that level.
Ogh christ i am wobbling again
The 3-1 win over Real Madrid, the only football match I've watched 3 times. From the BBC website:
Mauricio Pochettino's name was sung loud and long at Wembley as his exciting Spurs side played in the manner that has become the Argentine's trademark.
Real Madrid were on the receiving end of a performance in pressing intensity, pace and power as Tottenham's manager conducted affairs, standing yards from counterpart Zinedine Zidane on the touchline.
Pochettino has yet to bring silverware to Spurs since his appointment in May 2014 but there can be no denying the progress they have made, nor the regard in which he is held by his squad.
He received plaudits when Spurs earned an excellent draw at the Bernabeu on 17 October. The manner of their win here had his imprint all across it.
Spurs may be waiting to cross that bridge to winning a trophy but this is a team and manager on an upward trajectory, as Real Madrid have discovered.
The scenes of elation that swept around Wembley at the final whistle proved how far Tottenham have come in a year - and how they can sit comfortably alongside the Champions League elite.

I love you Mauricio, man! The best manager I have seen at the club and a hell of a man, what an example for our young players and although there was a sense of inevitability about all this I feel so empty about this loss. The man achieved near miracles on a shoestring budget, the squad is in tatters, good luck to his successor. One of the best recent moments for me would be 3-0 thumping of Borussia Dortmund at home in the Champions League with big Jan MOTM.
You will be missed, Poch
You will be missed, Poch
And for football. Seb Staffors says it well: Spurs is now a colder, more cynical place
