he would fail miserably. big difference from managing a tinpot club to one of the biggest on the planet.
@hornetgags I think you don't like successful people. People love Pochettino because he's yet to win, soon as he goes and spends £100 million on two players and wins an FA Cup the narrative will become that he "bought" a trophy. How many players has Poch made better?
He has certainly exploited the Man U brand well financially over the last few years. The problem is that when you start neglecting what the brand is all about, the brand performs less well, competitors surge past you & you start spirally down. This applies to football clubs, washing powder or premium rum.
Excellent. He also did a remarkable job with the Liverpool u23 team (aka Soton) & the England Aug to May side (aka Spurs).
Try reaching a bit more.... Let's look at what he did at Southampton...or does that not fit your narrative? Try taking some Kalms...you might not get so worked up.
I'm not worked up? You were the one who called Pep and Zidane overrated baldies. By your calculations, what is Jurgen Klopp then?
Actually I mostly only do the crossword and look at the sport, I would prefer another paper but the wife won't read anything else.
Rose. Trippier. Ali. Kane. Erikson. Winks. He’s brilliant at working with what he has (admittedly a bounty of potential but still).
Trippier is an awful defender, he's good at crossing which he was at Burnley. Kane was scoring for Sherwood who was the guy who actually gave him his chance. Eriksen was just as good in 13-14 in his first season for Spuras he is now really. Winks??? Really? Has he done ANYTHING of note? Using Harry Winks as a measure of Pochettino's brilliance is making my point, he's won nothing, made an average player borderline good and gets credit. Pep wins the league with Fabian Delph at left back but gets no credit? I agree Poch is brilliant but if he is then so is Pep? Poch just hasn't spent money yet, when he does he'll be expected to win the league, they're both just doing what's expected of them.
You just made our point for us...3rd...having spent nothing. And I'm sure you'd say no to those players.
