Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

I wouldnt say it has come out of nowhere tbf we do focus on young players and we do appear to give academy players more of a shot than elsewhere but for time being Kane and Winks are the only academy players involved in first team action and right now there isnt really anyone in the position Winks was in when he broke through - ie promoted to the first team squad and ready to be given his chance.

There were posters last summer arguing that Pochettino wouldn't sign players that would block off the path of promising academy players and then in come Sanchez Foyth and Aurier, blocking off KWP and CCV...
 
Mauricio Pochettino has told Arsene Wenger to keep quiet about Tottenham and insists all the praise heaped on Spurs is deserved.

Before Arsenal's Carabao Cup semi-final win over Chelsea on Wednesday, Wenger said pundits "celebrate some teams who have not been in a final for 25 years".

His comments were taken as a dig at Tottenham and Liverpool, who together have lifted only two trophies since 2008. Pochettino took exception to Wenger's analysis.

"I'm so young and only five years in the Premier League, in two clubs Southampton and Tottenham, but there's no point to talk about another team," Pochettino said. "Praise? Of course we receive praise. Football is not only to win trophies, it's the circumstances of different clubs.

"For me he is and will always be one of the best managers in the world, I respect him, but I think he needs to talk for himself and for Arsenal."

Pochettino added: "For me he is a special manager, but everyone sometimes makes a mistake and for me he made a mistake to talk about us or a different team."

Tottenham travel to League Two promotion hopefuls Newport on Saturday in the fourth round of the FA Cup, which realistically now represents Pochettino's best chance of winning silverware this season.

"We have to be ready to fight and put ourselves in the same level as them," Pochettino said. "The same motivation, no complaints, no excuse-finding, we try to believe that we are going to play against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Juventus in the Champions League."


I do love how he comments on these things.

I don’t think he trusts KWP for some reason...that’s what it feels like anyway...ditto Giorgiou. Oakey-Booth? Seems to be another on the “developing trust” list. For me, Onomah and Edwards will be the most intriguing. Poch has spoken of both in glowing terms. Onomah seems at a real crossroads moment and Edwards needs a bit less prima in his donna it would appear for Poch to trust him.

R.M getting coaches (and to some extent even players) on repuation rather than direct qualities. And there is a good reason for that. There is a constant pressure on a club like R.M; from inside (players, staff, etc) and from outside (media, fans, etc). And a coach (or a player) with reputation will always be given some more time. Because a person with a repuation showing that he at least has been a winner meaning that the directors will not be under pressure directly.

So therefore, neither R.M or Poch wants him to be there until he has gaining that reputation.
 
Mauricio Pochettino says he is working at Tottenham as if he is “going to be here forever” – but he feels he would be stupid to rule out the possibility of managing a club like Real Madrid in future, because he could become jobless at any time.
The Spurs manager reiterated that he has a long-term plan for the Lilywhites and remains entirely focused on turning his visions into reality.

However, he added that it is not in his interests to publicly close the door on possible job opportunities elsewhere, because the life of a Premier League manager is so precarious.
“It’s not down to me,” said Pochettino. “Always I work like I want to be here for the rest of my life. The way I work is thinking I’m going to stay forever in the same club. It’s the best way to commit to your job.

“But I am realistic and, today, you look in England from the beginning of the season – in six or seven months, there’s many changes on the Premier League benches.

“I’m so clear. I’m never going to be a manager of Barcelona or Arsenal because I am so identified with Tottenham and Espanyol. I grew up in Newell’s Old Boys and will never manage Rosario Central. That is my decision because I prefer to go to work on my farm in Argentina than be in some places." “It’s not only [about] you. It’s about the results, the ideas, it’s the chairman. He can change, the chairman, and say ‘come on, out’.
“I’m so clear. I’m never going to be a manager of Barcelona or Arsenal because I am so identified with Tottenham and Espanyol. I grew up in Newell’s Old Boys and will never manage Rosario Central. That is my decision because I prefer to go to work on my farm in Argentina than be in some places.

“My commitment is massive in this club and I’m working like I’m going to be here forever. But in the end it’s like the players – you never know what’s going to happen in football.

“Yes I know, there are a lot of rumours about this, about that. But tomorrow Daniel could have a bad night and say ‘oh I’m going to sack Mauricio’. And then I look stupid for saying now I’m not going to work in one place or another or another.

“You never know in football. That’s the problem. It’s a very unstable situation.

“It’s different if it was like [Sir Alex] Ferguson or [Arsene] Wenger, that are symbols of the club. It’s not a position like them. They had and have full control of everything, and they decide if they stay two more years or another year or retire.”
Earlier on Thursday, Pochettino expressed his irritation at comments made by Wenger this week.

The Arsenal manager said: “You (the media) celebrate some teams who have not been in a final for 25 years and yet you kill us even though we have won the FA Cup three times in the last four years.”

That was viewed in some quarters as a dig aimed at Tottenham and Liverpool, and Pochettino – who is yet to win a trophy in England – appeared to agree.
The Argentinian’s immediate response was to suggest that Wenger should “talk for himself and for Arsenal” before adding: “For me he is a special manager, but everyone sometimes makes a mistake, and for me he made a mistake to talk about us or a different team.”

Pochettino later returned to the issue, stating: “Going back to Liverpool or Tottenham’s prizes, this is what he (Wenger) probably has to understand – how difficult it is for a manager or coach with these clubs where you don’t have full control.

“That’s the difference to him. He has full control of everything. He decides whatever he wants to do.

“That’s why you guys [in the media] or the people appreciate when Liverpool or Spurs play well, because they are completely different scenarios for the managers.”

All fair comment. I think he's made it clear on a few occasions that as long as he continues to have Levy's support, he's in it for the long term with us.
And as for the little digs at Wenger - he manages to do it whilst retaining the high ground. You have to love the man!
 
Not sure quite what Poch is trying to say about Whinger when he says he has full control. On the face of it he appears to be saying that Whinger is unsackable. But this sounds a bit like he's envious of his position and by extension that he is frustrated with Levy because he cannot fully achieve what he feels he needs to do in order to get the best out of his team.

Maybe also he is hinting that some of the players brought in by Levy are ones he would not personally have chosen. That was certainly the suspicion re Sissoko, when Poch was quoted as saying something along the lines that it was Daniel who bought him.

Poch has also expressed frustration in the past that we do not acquire players early enough in the transfer window although he has since said he understands and accepts that, given we are building a new stadium and do not have the financial clout of the super-rich clubs, it has to be that way.

Cannot help wondering whether these might be lurking frustrations on his part that could eventually turn into festering sores if we continue to miss out on major trophies or things start to go wrong.

Or
He didn't like what Wenger was saying.

You could be right, although I didn't read it that way. I don't see Poch as one to make veiled comments about Levy in that way, and he does talk about being committed for the long-term - but who knows how he might react if things were not too rosy behind the scenes.
I saw it as linked to the earlier comments in the article about a PL manager never being fully secure in their job : Wenger being an exception do that, being able to hang on regardless.
 
It's much easier to see why a footballer would want to go to Real than why a manager would. You get three years at the most, and your career is unlikely to recover. And why would a manager whose biggest asset is coaching ability make sense for a club which buys its players ready-made?

Much more confident about keeping Poch than any of our players.

Mauricio Pochettino is Florentino Perez's first, second, third and fourth choice to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, according to Guillem Balague.

---

So, will we lose him before the stadium has been finished? Real usually get what they want, and Balague should know a thing or two about Real and Pochettino.

Saw this on SSN earlier, he went on to say it doesnt count for brick as Poch has no buy out - they would have to get past Levy
