How much has he wasted on players of similar value or more? It is pretty much a full back in todays terms so money well spent, scary though that is still.
And, we’re off.......2018/2019

I hope we can somehow convince Poch to leave Spurs but at this point, why would he join us?!

He's turned down Barcelona and Madrid. Why on earth would he leave for a mid table club like man u.

Because it’s going to a bigger ( far bigger ) club - one of the biggest in the world with as much money as he wants to spend - it’s a massive step up from Spurs to Man Utd. Man Utd in the right hands is one of the best unfortunately- I hope they don’t get Pochettino because i think he can turn them around - hopefully they get Zidane as can see him struggling

So in effect you're saying Man United are bigger than Barcelona and Real Madrid 🙄

Arguably, we are in the right hands but right now we’re not.

Pochettino has never “turned down†Barcelona - he stated he wouldn’t manage them because of Espanyol Links - would be interesting to see that tested if they actually wanted to speak to him
Real Madrid - was lots of “reports†etc but nothing of anything of substance , and he has said he would have to listen if they did want to speak to him
So I think if any of those three offered him the job then he would leave at the end of the season ( maybe not mid season )
And Man Utd are alongside both Madrid and Barce as the three biggest clubs in the world because all three are a massive leap from Spurs - and with the right manager Utd challenge the two each year.

I’ll extend a hand of thanks to Liverpool FC for expediting his departure. I’d hug Shaqiri if I saw him and his glorious calves.

The manager isn't the only problem that needs sorting.
New manager, same management, same outcome.
More short termism won't fix anything.

That’s an odd way to look at it.
Changing the manager often changes the outcome. If he can train the players more effectively, set them up better tactically and motivate them properly then we would improve.

Maureen’s problem was it was all about him.
If you have a fallout with a player you don’t leave him out to the detriment of the team.
He was a bad appointment in the first place so you have to look at the people who gave him the job.
Can they be trusted not to do the same again.

Surely Mr Hodgson is the man to take Yernited forward.

Just hope no other prem team will employ him.
Glad to see the back of him.

Great news this morning as I never wanted him in the first place.
I really can’t see and I don’t want Ponch,I can’t see him leaving Spurs.
I suspect it will be a big name again someone who’s been successful in Europe.

Not really, it's looking at the bigger picture.
The outcome has been the same for the past 3 managers.
The clubs management is clearly flawed, there's no coherent vision.
Put as many managers as you like in but if the general approach is flawed you're not going to achieve.
Look @ Citeh and Liverpool's management for illustrative examples of how to run a club successfully long term.

Any successful European manager committing to go to Utd will want some assurances about the squad. Changing the manager might be worth a few more points but it won't see Utd get from 6th to 4th. That would need Utd to win 4 more games than the team currently in 4th, and for Arsenal in 5th to have a poor run too.
Would any top players go to a club that doesn't have CL football, and maybe no Europa League if things aren't turned around?
