Pochettino in

5 year deal apparently

 

Expensive to sack. Might stay levy's hand?

 

As expected. 5 yr contract. Here we go again!!..

 

Crazy Levy at his best

Five year deal for a manager with no plan B (Saints fans know this too well). Massive pay off if it doesn't work out.

 

Unless there is a break clause in the contract

 

I thought we expected a 3 year deal

 

Like always, judge a manager on what he does for us but often we look at their previous jobs to see what hes capable of. Bottom of the table in Spain, top 8 in England. Doesn't mean a great deal as Jurgen Klopp relegated Mainz in Germany, yet hes now one of the best managers in Europe.

We will soon find out if he's a good fit, but I won't lie, my initial impression and thoughts are he isn't and not the type of manager we need but I hope to be proved wrong

 

Well, it's not the appointment that I wanted, but he did some positive stuff with his previous clubs, so let's see what he's got.

 

You've bagged yourself a great manager. Although I bloody hope he doesn't, he'll do a great job at Spurs.

 

His coaching staff have all left Southampton too, so you'd assume that they're following him to the Lane.

understand the sentiment, and genuinely feel bad for you guys, going to be a long summer for you. Last summer was like that for us.

I never got the 'translator' thing - He can speak English well, it was odd that he always had a translator.

 

Hopefully he will get the best out our underachievers and maybe be the man to bring Lamela to the level we are hoping for

 

It gave him time to consider each question and any mistakes could be blamed on a poor translation of what he really meant.
Kept him out of the whole mindgames bollocks that certain managers seem to favour, too.

 

......

 

There will be. Levy isn't stupid.

 

He's not our manager, by the way, he's our Head Coach. That's what Levy's statement says, anyway.
Doesn't sound like Baldini's going anywhere, though he was spotted heading to Barcelona earlier today.

 

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "He has a proven ability to develop each player as an individual, whilst building great team spirit and a winning mentality."

well keep your ****ing nose out of it then
