They have spread the cost massively so it’s has little to do with that. Just decided to have a look into their spending; Under Pochettino 2014 - £43m. 2015 - £63m 2016 - £75m 2017 - £111m 2018 - £0m 2019 - £133m Under Mourinho 2020 - £99m 2021 - £86m Under Conte 2022 - £107m Other than 2018 Pochettino was well backed. In that season he got top 4 again and got to the UCL final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pochettino has done nothing and his reputation is based on nothing tangible. To say he's done nothing is a bit harsh. I think for a squad like us he'd do alright. Getting Spurs to a Champions League final is something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dyche did succeed Brendan anyime soon then that appointment would probably go down about as well as Puel's did from the outset! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the admittedly poor time he had at PSG (a club that is clearly ****ed and run by the players) he's done very well.

ClaphamFox Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 Pochettino clearly isn't coming to us. People are free to argue about his achievements all they want, but it's a wholly theoretical discussion that has no relevance to our situation. As for Dyche, I'm desperately telling myself that his Burnley side only played the way they did because of very limited resources, and that he'd play a much more expansive, attractive style with better players at his disposal...

Seriously reaching, there is nothing of note he has achieved anywhere except PSG and for that he had to win the CL to get credit Think people just want a not Brendan and will push any rhetoric to add validity to it.

Mark_w Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 There for the whole season or not, it's a bit of a red flag when a manager finishes 2nd with PSG On the flip side he made Dele Alli look like a footballer so. Of course, it's irrelevant because he won't be coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 I don't know a lot about Poch, people that are insisting he'd be a good get clearly do, what are his strengths and weaknesses as a manager? Would be willing to work as a coach or would he be demanding control of the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
