    All those times he vowed to see out his contract and he eventually ****s off 12 months early. All that time he spent stalling over contract talks, waiting to see how the situation materialised at Spurs, leaving the fans hanging by a thread for weeks. No benefit to us in having one good season if the manager is just going to try and use our club as a stepping stone to something he deems bigger. I can only imagine the effect it's going to have on our ability to retain our key players too.

    To sum it up, **** you Pochettino.

    Not going to read or believe anything he writes. He's one of those smiley people who appears to be nicer than he is. He's been playing us for mugs. Krueger said a while ago that Mauricio was someone who carefully planned his career...and I don't think he meant it as a compliment. I thought it was a strange thing to say about a manager you thought would be staying...we are just rungs on a ladder. Hopefully, the players will have improved under his tutelage and carry this on under the new manager.

    We want the right manager, but we also want him fast. I bet Les has a shortlist of 2-3.,,hopefully not in employment as we want them now.

    The players wanted him to stay, but I bet they're not pleased with him either. He's deserted them as well remember.

    Nobody is irreplaceable not the Queen, not the Prime Minister nor the President of the USA and certainly not Pochettino.

    I don't think anyone thinks that. It's the way Pochettino has used us people are pissed off with.

    This spurs fan isn't happy.....




    You all know my feelings on this appointment but no I suppose I have to give Poch the benefit of the doubt, a bloody big doubt. However, Levy has now consolidated his position at the top of the league, the ****y League for toss bollock Chairman. For a few months he was under threat by Vincent Tan and the Fulham chairman (forgotten his name) but Levy has seriously out-****ied all of them now.

    Where is the wise old sage HAIG? I guess when he heard Levy was talking to Poch he needed a taxi to the cock clinic but now he's appointed him on a 5 YEAR CONTRACT, YES FIVE YEAR f**kING CONTRACT, the cock clinic may not be able to help. A best he'll be in a queue behind numerous chavs, goons and mousers.

    When was the last time a Spurs manager lasted 5 years? Sir Bill? Not in Levy's time that's a dead cert. Lucky I'm off to Africa next month otherwise I'd be thinking about becoming the greatest **** kicker of all time.

    One of two things will happen at Spurs...he will be a success and ditch them or a failure and they have him on a long contract.

    Look, I've tried playing as Southampton in FIFA with high pressure turned off and it just doesn't work.

    Good luck and all that but I don't hope you succeed. If we really want to progress Spurs will be our rivals in the near future, and therefore we don't want them to succeed. He was never going to be loyal, I actually don't really care that he's gone, I'm looking forward to seeing who the replacement will be!

    What surprises me is that it has taken so long to happen as Spurs have allegedly been after him for awhile. So why has I taken so long?
    1. MP was interested in staying providing the club met his aspiration.
    2. He wasn't there first choice

    I am not normally a vindictive person but in this case I hope it ends in tears for him and Spurs

    2. They went for van Gaal and Ancelotti first.

    Doesn't that say something that he wasn't there first choice.

    He quotes he can't wait to start work with all the talent there is at spurs.

    If there is soooo much talent there stay away from our ****ing players in the transfer window.
