    be defensive & call me mindless/tedious filler guy all you want brian(filler guy :D) Obviously its got you worried that poch may have his head turned and kane may also head off soon, you cant deny its a possibilty can you?

    should that happen im wondering how quickly you can recover if at all?

    Why would we worry about something that hasn't happened?

    So are you worried about Klopp getting bored of Merseyside and chucking it all in for Madrid or similar? He might not be able to afford the wear and tear to his glasses if he stays.

    nah not in the slightest, he couldve picked any club in football before choosing us. no reason to think he will leave or be "stolen" in the next 3 years, besides he doesnt seem the type to abandon a project, unlike poch who has previous of leaving a current project to go to a team with more clout so to speak.

    i can see why you guys are worried though, the implications of poch going could be disastrous in the time leading up to your new stadium, can you keep your top 5 status if he does go, if not, will you be able to fill 60,000 seats if your sitting in mid table? we could, not so sure you could tbh.

    i never said he hasnt left clubs, i said he doesnt seem the type to abandon a project.

    poch has form for that exact thing, he built southampton back up and left when you came calling, id say he had more to do with saints at the time, klopp left dortmund after 7 years or something and went on holiday, hardly the same at all :)

    He doesn't abandon projects, he just leaves and then joins someone else almost immediately! <laugh>
    Shame it wasn't you who nicked Klopp's glasses, as they're probably not as rose-tinted as the pair that you're wearing.

  9. I love how Sucky is telling us that we are worried, when it's clearly the case that it's he who is worried!
    <laugh>

    He's praying that we lose Poch, because he knows that with him we are going to win big things.

    Top 5 under Redknapp, AVB and 6th under Sherwood. So not completely out of the question. I think our squad and stadium would be an exciting project if Poch was daft enough to pass it up for a year at Chelsea. We might have the odd applicant. De Boer was heavily considered last time, I'm sure he could pick it up and run with it.

    At Saints all his players were being sold (as you well know!) and the Director that brought him in had been sacked. Not the same as the current situation.

    im not telling you anything dear haig, just suggested that they both may go, the resulting feedback has reaffirmed my suspicions that you guys are indeed worried about poch and kane going, and rightly so.

    during the poch years you aint come within a sniff of winning anything, so whats to worry about? <laugh> klopp on the other hand... not even 6months and we're in a cup final ;) a new dawn haig a new dawn :)

  13. Can you name another Spurs manager who left us voluntarily?

    We don't lose managers, we poach them from other clubs, Sucky.

    Of one thing I am certain, is that Klopp was a bullet dodged for us. Poch is so much better.

    very true, but i think this situation (should it arise) is very different, a team like say the chavs, roman tells poch ill double your wages, give you a blank cheque, not to mention a fair few very decent players here already. who wouldnt be tempted?

    Van Gaal is the dodged bullet. Jesus I shudder at how close that was.

    I'm prepared to back my view that it's not going to happen any time soon, in what is termed a 'gentlemanly wager'.

    If Pochettino or Kane are no longer at Tottenham at the end of August 2016 you will have won the bet. I will pay an agreed amount to the charity of your choice and produce a receipt from that charity. If, as we both know is going to be the case, they are both at Tottenham and looking forward to our Champions League campaign, you pay the agreed amount to Mind and similarly produce proof of payment. Additionally, you apologise for this nonsense and add "I am an Idiot and Write Total Bullshit" instead of the nonsense about Roller Disco's for a period of a year.

    How much pocket money would you care to wager?

  19. I'm not saying winning the Mickey Mouser Cup wouldn't be some kind of achievement, Sucky. Don't get me wrong.

    If you win it, of course.

    But Poch, 2 seasons at Spurs, almost completely rebuilt the team, the youngest and fittest in the Prem, currently in the top 4 and challenging for the title, still in Europe and the FA Cup, and having overseen the blooding of god-alone knows how many young Internationals...

    These are achievements of which Klopp can merely dream, Sucky, and you know it!
