Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

This might again be me thinking with Poch-tinted glasses on, but the guy has spent the past couple of seasons talking so much about "the project" and "what we're building here". He's been quick to ship out those who aren't on board with it, even if they're considered one of the better players, and has spoke at length about the value of respect within football.

And so to turn his back on all that at the first realistic sniff of the Madrid job, would go against all that he seems to value. Not to mention make him look very fickle to the players to whom he's tried hard to embed his beliefs upon.

I'm not saying he wouldn't go, just that I genuinely believe his morales and principles are of high importance to him as a man. And it's those morales that may just see him turn any Madrid opportunity down.

 
So pleased. I don’t know what to say. This is where it could have gone pear shaped.

Thanks Mauricio and Mr Levy. Next season will be a blast as we head into the new stadium together.

In the broader picture I wonder if we just had our Coming of age. Did our elegantly clumsy, hectored, Clark Kent of a club just enter the booth and emerge as a steel hardened super powerful entity -or have we just put our pants on outside our trousers?

It feels like the right time now.

COYS.
Whilst I do think Poch has values and wants to see it out at Spurs, I don't think this is over yet. I'd say there is still a chance Real will come back (if he has rejected it) but who knows. Until Poch comes out himself and says "I am staying at Spurs" or Real appoint a manager that isnt Poch, I am still going to be very cautious and brick myself daily.

One of my favourite films:cool:

Odball to Moriarty


Oddball: [planes fly and bomb the bridge] … No it ain’t. See what sending out them negative waves did, Moriarty?

Moriarty: That ain’t my fault, Oddball, I’ve done nothing but have good thoughts about that damn bridge ever since we left!


Oddball: Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Moriarty: Crap!

Come on man, it can't be fun to be that pessimistic! He's staying, it's done.
