    If its true that Pochettino wants 19 million.

    Rafa's Dalian compensation is 12 million and they want him to take a pay cut, he was only on 6 million here before he left anyway. It would be par for par.

    Just depends who sells themselves better.

    Poch: I want you to break bank on Coutinho and other players. I will get you in the champions league in 3 years. We won't win anything like as I've never actually won anything in my career and deep down I'm stalling because my dream is to manage Man Utd or go back to Spurs.

    Rafa: I've won everything there is to win, I know the players, I love the city, we will be in the champions league and probably win it in 3 years. I can buy 5 quality players for the same cost as Coutinho.

    I still think he wants the man Utd job and he's using his contacts to try and force them in to making a move for him.

    I was under the impression that Rafa doesn’t have a clause at dalian, if a PL club offers a role?

    As I say it’s all pointless. We’re going to be waiting for what feels like years for an announcement, then we can see what they plan to do.

    Maybe. He's a step up. Ardiles seems to rate him and if you consider he was touted for both Real Madrid and Man U jobs, you have to think he's got something about him.

    I do wonder if there's an awful lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and we've effectively been under new ownership for the past 3-4 weeks. There was some article from Mark Douglas on a state-of-the-art app being used by NUFC to track fitness. That kind of spending and access has NEVER happened under Charnley. Ardiles also said the offer from NUFC was made by some "first rate" people. Honestly, I'm beginning to think that we're already under new ownership and they've stayed completely off the radar because of Covid-19, which has suited them.

    I think Ardilles is saying what was rumoured over a week ago. In that Pochs agent met with Saudi representatives and stated his terms before he agrees to sit down and talk with them properly.

    Which is backed up by Poch saying he has an option in the Premier league, but is waiting to see what else pops up and is prepared to wait.

    I think he has us as a backup in case nothing else transpires. Meanwhile they're also talking to Rafa, which is backed up by McParland and Brown stating that they're confident they're going to be on our board of directors. Which also goes against Poch as he wants total control. Bruce has also stated that he is prepared to work with a DoF, so that pretty much backs up the Brown rumour.

    On the player front, the scout Rafa brought in was sent back to work first out of all the staff. We are being linked with players from Napoli, Real Madrid, Inter and Chelsea, all of which Rafa managed.

    Not to mention it was Rafa that introduced Staveley to the club and one of her terms a couple of years ago in buying us was that Rafa remains as manager. PIF are also big fans of his.

    There's an old adage in football, never go back to a previous club.
    Relative success is the exception and why it rarely occurs.

    Would I be excited if Rafa was to return - No..
    Someone like Poch - Yes.

    Irrelevant in any case, as I wont have a ****ing say in any of it.
