No, no, United cannot hire Conte. That’d be going backwards, might as well keep Mourinho. Has to be someone young and in it for the long haul. That’s the United way...
Has to be Poch (contrary to what
Kimchi Papi
thinks) I absolutely think Poch would take the United job. Comparing the RM job to United is ridiculous, RM/Flo always fire and hire managers, of course Poch would be smart to stay away. It’s honestly not that great of a job, way too much pressure anyway.
The United job however, they’ll be patient and stand behind Poch. Poch would get a huge pay rise and he’ll finally have hundreds of millions of euros at his disposal. Him leaving Spurs with that cheapskate Levy at the top is bound to happen. I wouldn’t blame Poch whatsoever.
Now United would have to wait for Poch tho, if they can’t wait - then you go after Jardim at Monaco. Attack minded young coach, been very successful, promotes youth (very Manchester United like).

This is what Poch said when he categorically ruled out the Barca job.
I think it's this same sense of loyalty that not only keeps him with Spurs where he's signed on through 2023, but also will keep him from taking another job in the Prem. That extension will mean he stays with Spurs through 9 yrs.
I think his goal is to win a Prem title or two & a CL before he leaves. And when that time comes, I think his next job will be P$G (his former club).
Edit - Plus with the extension signed (in the face of the Real Madrid job), I could see Levy wanting $200mill in compensation to let Poch leave.

sheesh liverpool in pot 3 and valencia in pot 4
could get ugly
frenkie staying in ajax. might be too crowded right now for him in barca.
playing another full year w/ champions league experience will be better off for him
after yesterdays performance im convinced he can be our successor to busquets as the pivot

Still don't get how Atleti's in pot 1 with the EL win...
Where to?
Reunion with Pelligrini maybe?
Platini sounds out of touch as hell,good thing he's not in a position of power anymore
Right...
From Sandro and Luis to Bernat? Eh...
Good,his career's been on pause ever since he went to Russia

Arsenal would still have a way better squad if they had signed all the players that Arsène "almost" signed.

The Taegeuk Warriors will face the winner of Japan or UAE in the finals. As some of you may know if Korea wins the finals, Son & the team will earn a military exemption. Glad to see the ex-Barca kid shine for Korea.

Can't compare the United job to Barça either, much like Madrid, the managerial position at Barça isn't secure or stable enough to want to leave Spurs. What do managers want most? Security, long contracts, pay raises. Barça hires and fires managers just as much as RM, both clubs demand excellence. Even worse at Madrid with Florentino because he's a loose cannon. These aren't attractive jobs to top managers.
I wouldn't argue what you said about Poch staying at Spurs for a couple more years, thats understandable, but he definitely won't be there forever. They're too cheap, at some point Poch will have enough already (if he hasn't already).
In terms of contracts and the legalities of Poch's contract, we don't know. Maybe he has clauses where he can opt out or terminate it, we aren't privy to those details If his agent was smart enough to include clauses like that, I can see him taking the United job sooner than 2023 (if they're still in chaos, which they probably will be).

Please do the lord's work UAE and kick out Japan.
It's not like Son could walk away from his military service either, unless he wants to be effectively 'exiled' from South Korea along with putting his family there in a tough position.

You obviously missed the point. Not comparing the Barca job to United. I was illustrating his talk to loyalty & such. It's that sense of loyalty he's says he has that will see him not only stay with Spurs, but also possibly prevent him for taking another job in the Prem.
Here's the sad thing about a lot of football fans & sports fans in general. They equate the availability of money in order to spend getting transfers. It's a stupid moronic way of thinking. You don't have to spend a lot in order to get good players. What you do need is a good network of scouts & a good exec that knows what he's doing in order to build a great club.
Edit - I think Barca has spent very stupidly the last couple of years since the last treble was won & I've posted as such (in addition to terrible transfer buys).
Look at the money United have spent since SAF retired. Almost a quarter of a billion Brit Pounds spent & they're still in shambles. Your boy alone has spent £364m since arriving to OT which should've been more than enough to build a top notch team but where has that gotten him?
Interestingly, Klopp has spent £382m thus far & look at the talent he's bought compared to the ill configured team the Dotard has built. I can't give Pool's Michael Edwards enough credit at the moves he's made. Absolutely quality purchases.
I still wish Pool had gotten Fekir... It's like having 3 grail sneakers & you end up getting 2 of them. You should be grateful you were able to get 2 of the 3 but sad that you still don't have the 1 grail...
