Club Statement 19 Nov 19 - Pochettino leaves

[mark87]

He has apparently turned down Everton.

 

[GMI]

He's waiting for the West Ham job to become available

So in an hour or two.....although f**k knows what’s going to happen in the West Ham v Arsenal match.

 

[Marauder]

Juve are starting to creek in the league and are trailing Inter Milan in Serie A and they looked allegedly at Poch before. Wonder if he'd hold out for them? Certainly said he'd like to manage in Italy in the future and the job looks like it'll come up sooner rather than later.

That's Sarri for you

 

[dagraham]

He has apparently turned down Everton.

Wish he’d turn down Arsenal. Until they appoint a manager it still bothers me.

 

[RikkiRocket]

He's still in Argentina, so he's not likely to be speaking to anyone directly anytime soon.

hes back.

 

[Fitchspur]

My united supporting co worker is adamant that he's going to them in the summer, and honestly the thought of him going anywhere else in the prem makes me so sad..

 

[he is you know!]

Unless your colleague is Ed Woodward I wouldn't worry about it, OGS will stay, thank god.

United fans have been adamant re Poch and Kane for years..

Top ten Premier League managers of the decade - Football365

Football365 - Tim Sherwood and John Carver narrowly missed the cut for our top ten Premier League managers of the decade.

2) Mauricio Pochettino
‘Southampton’s sacking of Nigel Adkins is Blackburn-style folly,’ said The Guardian. ‘Nigel Adkins stabbed in the back by Southampton as Argentina Mauricio Pochettino steps in as manager,’ was England Henry Winter’s take in the Daily Telegraph. “Nothing’s surprising and it’s a bit of a laughing stock,” Matt Le Tissier added. “With due respect to Pochettino, what does he know about our game? What does he know about the Premier League? What does he know about the dressing room, does he speak English?” Lawrie McMenemy, an apparent child on a long-distance car journey, asked.

Those are extreme examples, but it is not as if they were alone. “There’s only one Nigel Adkins” was the chant that echoed around St Mary’s at Pochettino’s first game, a 0-0 home draw with Everton. He was made to wait two more matches for his opening win as a Premier League manager: beating reigning champions Manchester City 3-1 lit a fire that would burn almost constantly for the rest of the decade.

Pochettino finished eighth in his only full season on the south coast, representing what was then Southampton’s best Premier League finish. Tottenham were just two places higher but the Argentine saw potential for a beautiful union.

He slipped into Tim Sherwood’s proper football shoes, transformed the culture and redefined expectations over five years in north London. If finishing fifth, third, second, third and fourth while reaching the Champions League final represents failure, supporters learned to accept that option.

Twice Pochettino was charged with revitalising what had gone stale by offering continental instead of full English. He left both in considerably better states than he found them in. What does he know about our game indeed.

No Mourinho?! Really?

In the last decade, his 2nd stint at Chelsea won the league on second season. He also won the Europa Cup and League Cup with United despite the shambles. Not trying to be Spurs-tinted, but in that table we acutslly had Roy Hodgson and Big Sam in the list.

Incredible.

 

[gregga]

It’s a laughable list. Pains me to say it but Poch above Klopp is indefensible for one.

Why? Klopp came in at the back end of the decade and had a load of money. Poch was in the Premier league for 7 years and in both jobs redeveloped an existing squad into superb teams.

Klopp's been in post for half the decade and is on track to deliver one of the highest points totals ever seen, after having won the CL. And Liverpool were in a real funk when he took over.

Maybe they're not focusing exclusively on trophies but also their achievements from a coaching perspective.

Incredible.

When Eddie Howe, who's won 1 game in his last 10, Woy, and Fat Sam are on the list, it shouldn't really be taken seriously.

Don’t forget a league cup at Chelsea to .. against us

Don’t forget a league cup at Chelsea to .. against us

Beating us in a final isn’t an achievement.

Everton would be a great fit, I'm surprised he turned it down. The only jobs realistically available are man u, arsenal and Everton.

Bayern have ruled him out and I'd be surprised if psg went best him or him them.

Arsenal would be stupid on many levels.

If he is holding out for the United job fair play, but Everton really are in the same position we were in when he took over. He could do the same with them, they have a goodish squad.

Why would he want that?

 

[nailsy]

He's not in any rush to get a job now. There will be big jobs available before the start of next season and he'll be in a great position to take one of them
