    In a rush to be first, DTLW managed to beat Twitter to it. That's impressive work.

    hang on Podge. Why 5 years when you were so bemused at anyone wanting more than a one year commitment?

    are you mayhaps full of ****?

    5 year deal? Pochettino will get one massive pay off when he gets sacked before Christmas.

    5 years is a big contract. Moyes got 6. That went well.

    Said it yesterday, and I'll say it again:

    Embarrassing for all at saints. Whether we can appoint someone better or not, it's shameful that our manager can be poached so easily by a club we could so easily overtake next season with the right spending.

    At the end of the day, to a foreign manager especially Spurs will always appear the more attractive/bigger/better club.

    He's had his head turned and seemingly there has been very little the board could do. Or, they didn't make assurances and he chose to leave.

    How dare MoPo leave us for a club with more ambition, better players and probably a better salary in order to progress in his career!

    Press saying they have quotes from Murat Yakin at 6pm. Are Saints going to announce Poch out and Yakin in at the same time?

    You can hold a player to his contract because if he doesn't perform, you don't play him. A reluctant manager can undermine you....best to take compo and get someone in who wants to be here.

    rumours though unfounded had us offering him twice the salary he is supposed to be getting at spurs and it is only 50% more than he's on at the moment.

    doesn't apepar to be the same as footballers moving to liverpool and getting multiples of their salary.

    the rest certainly may be assumed to be true.
