Mauricio Pochettino

[Gutter Boy]

Poch will continue to be rumoured with a return, especially at times where a manager appears to be struggling/under pressure and Poch is potentially available. This will continue until one of the following:

1) It happens
2) Whoever our coach is gains 'success' playing the style of football we want - a la Poch (but the goal-posts for expectation due to what Poch achieved are now greater)
3) The club or Poch state it won't happen

The recent BBC interview before Xmas talking about unfinished business in the PL will only stoke that fire further.

I think the Lewises will need him like Sugar needed Ardiles in 1993 and Levy needed Hoddle in 2001. This time though it will be wise as well as emotional.

Your first line is spot on, your second we'll have to wait and see if the Lewis' are about to make all of the mistakes it took Levy 25 years to learn.

It's up to the fans how much time and patience he gets though, and that's where I think he's in trouble.
Expectation is the killer, and if he isn't backed with spending he has no chance.

It is the main reason I am against the idea. Would be as heart-breaking as when he was turned on the first-time, maybe more so…

I'm the same tbh, we, the fans, destroy managers.
Look at ange at forest, our support gloated and blamed him for the debacle, they're even worse now, not heard anyone say maybe they went too quick on the criticism.
