Arteta?
Jokes aside Poch is the frontman but there is very much a 4 piece (management) band at the club, they come and would go as a package.

Maté Jesus.
I haven't yet processed everything yet. It's still been a strange sort of dreamworld, and I've been wandering through it with an utterly stupid grin on my face for all of it.
But, the very first post in this thread was mine. All that time ago, on the 27th of May, 2014, I welcomed him to this club, our club, with a simple request. Nothing fancy, nothing earth-shatteing. Just a request that I thought echoed what we were all hoping for on that day, after the drifting, aimless years post-Harry.
With all the pain, all the suffering that came with losing our golden generation of players from that magical era - Modric, Bale, Van Der Vaart, King. With the knowledge that we had drifted again, and would have to reset again.
One simple request.
What a five years it's been.
We will be through many twists and turns yet. Many heartbreaks still lie in store. Where we go is uncertain. What we are, and what we may become, are both uncertain.
But, when we appointed Maté Jesus back on that sunny summer day in May 2014, without knowing it, we began changing what we *were*. From the club that always lost, always folded, always buckled...
...to one that *tried*. To one that bled, that worked, that fought against all odds no matter what the circumstances, desperate to change its nature.
Have we succeeded? I don't know.
But I am thankful for every moment that this man's been with us. I have raged long and hard about us being churlish, being cowardly, of not giving him what he needs to do what he dreams of doing.
But he never let that stop him. Never let the threadbare nature of his squad hold him back - never folded in the face of inaction, of being left with a weakened squad, of nothing being done to help him.
He took our broken selves, and against our nature, against our parsimony, against our reluctance to dream - he forced us to.
So whatever happens in the semi-final to come....
fudging hell. Here's to you, Mauricio Pochettino.
Tottenham loves you more than you will know.

Love the fact that Poch is getting plenty of praise from the media. A CL semi-final at the New Lane. Yes, whatever happens in that game, the good times certainly seem to be coming back to N17. About damn time you could say, but we seem to have been on an upward graph ever since big MJ, ok regular blips, trips and spills, but overall direction is great........and brilliant post Dubai Spurs 
We're very un-sexy these days, long may it continue.

Presumably this morning Daniel Levy got his chauffeur to drop him off at the headquarters of Barclays/ Nike/ Google/ whoever... went up to the top floor in the lift... walked into the CEO's office (thrusting his hand into the face of his PA)... unzipped his foot-long-schlong and dropped it onto the desk with a schlll-thuddd.
"You know last month we wanted £20mpa and you offered £10mpa for stadium sponsorship?
We just beat City to go into the Semi Final of the Champions League.
I want £30mpa. Byeeeeeeeeeee!"

I love the whole (it reminded me of an end of season post 2 years ago, listing the season's accomplishments) but the above bit got me thinking.
There is a song there, and Poch deserves a second one!
To the tune of Simon & Garfunkels Mrs. Robinson
"So here's to you Mauricio, Tottenham loves you more than you will know, whoa, whoa, whoa,
GHod bless you please Pochettino, promise us that you will never go"
So ends my musical "talents" over to you then...

I was really blind drunk when I saw this yesterday, thought I'd dreamt that I was in the rooms. Sooo fudging happy that it's real.

The last question is peefectly handled.
Interesting but if we get past the next two games it will be a very important point in Poch's development. It was our worse slump in the 5 years and we needed to get over it.
@Bullet has a point about the stadium sponsorship, knowing we have CL, being the club that made CL SF/Final (and the noise Levey has made about bidding fo a CL final for the stadium) is probably why we have held off/waiting on closing a sponsorship deal.

I know what you mean he is doing a great job here, but lets not forget that KB won three trophys and also got us promotion during his 8 years here.
