That's because you're a Ty. He could kill half of the squad in a drug fueled rage and you'd claim that he was doing it to reduce the wage bill.
As you are such a fan of Telegraph articles, what do you make of this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ricio-Pochettino-as-clubs-ambition-grows.html Tottenham news: Spurs to reject all Man Utd and Chelsea pursuits of Mauricio Pochettino as club's ambition grows Spurs believe new stadium will take club to another level under Argentine coach and give them even greater pulling power to attract and keep the best Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will firmly reject any approach for Mauricio Pochettino, with the club confident they can hang on to their impressive head coach. Pochettino has won a host of admirers for turning Spurs into genuine Premier League title contenders this season and has already been linked with both the Manchester United and Chelsea jobs. But, just as he refused to entertain interest in star players Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris last summer, Tottenham chairman Levy will give short shrift to any clubs who express an interest in Pochettino. Pochettino still has three-and-a-half years of his Spurs contract to run and has spoken enthusiastically about building a legacy at White Hart Lane. please log in to view this image Pochettino is able to get the best out of Harry Kane The Argentine has assembled the youngest team in the Premier League and taken them to fourth place in the table, just five points behind leaders Leicester City. Pochettino has been strongly backed by Levy and given the freedom to bomb out a host of failed expensive signings, bring in his head of recruitment from Southampton, Paul Mitchell, and promote a number of young players. Levy will again promise Pochettino that he will not cash in on Kane at the end of this season and has already tied exciting young talent Dele Alli down to a new five-and-a-half-year contract. Other than working closely with Mitchell over new signings, Pochettino has a close relationship with academy manager John McDermott who has reportedly rejected an approach of his own from United. please log in to view this image Dele Alli (left) has been a revelation McDermott travelled with the first-team squad and staff to Barcelona this week, which underlines the importance Pochettino places in the role of his youth expert. Pochettino’s commitment to youth, together with his attributes as a coach, would be attractive to United and Chelsea but Tottenham are confident they currently best suit his philosophy. There is also the carrot of the new stadium, which Spurs believe will take the club to another level and give them even greater pulling power to attract and keep the best players. Levy recently organised a dinner for Pochettino and a host of club legends, where he highlighted his big plans and gave the 43-year-old an even greater sense of Tottenham’s history. please log in to view this image Daniel Levy will reject all overtures for Pochettino Pochettino demonstrated his ambition when he left Southampton for Tottenham in 2014, but Spurs believe he can achieve his career goals in north London. While he could possibly earn more at Chelsea or United, Pochettino is in line to earn lucrative bonuses should Tottenham qualify for the Champions League or win a trophy. Levy’s relationship with Chelsea is frosty to say the least, since the Blues signed Willian from under the noses of Spurs, although the two clubs may yet share Wembley as a temporary home for one season while their respective stadiums are built. Chelsea’s loan signing of Alexandre Pato illustrates the obstacles Pochettino would face at Stamford Bridge, as the club have a multi-layered approach to the transfer market that dilutes the power of the manager. please log in to view this image Spurs believe their new stadium will take them up to a new level Photo: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR Pochettino is still mindful of his experience at Espanyol, which he believes ended because he inherited a dressing-room of older players who were stuck in their ways and could not adapt to his style. He could run into similar problems at United, whose star players still hold a lot of power within the club and have not taken well to change since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson. Tottenham players who have failed to embrace his methods have been frozen out of Pochettino’s first-team squad and made to train and play with the Under-21s. Levy has so far stayed out of his football decisions, but the politics at a club such as Chelsea or United may be very different. Other than wanting to keep Pochettino for his own attributes, Levy is well aware that losing his head coach to Chelsea or United would leave Spurs with an uphill battle to keep hold of their star players. Kane is a huge fan of Pochettino and is unlikely to seriously consider his future while the team are performing well under him, while Lloris and Jan Vertonghen have had re-thinks over their prospects at the club since the former Southampton man took over. Tottenham are expected to make a new bid for West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino before the transfer window closes in a bid to strengthen Pochettino’s squad further.
It's all rather speculative, unlike the Adebayor story about Spurs paying his £100k wages (despite a few of you spuds desperately trying to convince yourselves it wasn't true) Anyway, Levy's always going on about how he will resist the big clubs when they come sniffing for his players, but he usually sells out in the end. Nothing suggests it would be any different if Pochettinho wanted to leave, in fact manager power would probably be even stronger than player power in a scenario like this. I don't think Pochettinho has got any particular desire to leave though.
As PNP & I pointed out, a settlement of the contract was reached. The player said as much, so did the club. Logic dictates that a settlement will almost certainly be an agreed amount less than the original contract terms, as it always was in my old business. The settlement can be as a lump sum, or in monthly payments, whatever was agreed between the two parties. As has also been pointed out many times, nobody knows the exact terms of the settlement, only the player and the club. Speculation by journalists, and others, is just that, speculation.
It was me who pointed that out to you that there was a payment structure built into his severance package. You initially made your 'Titanic' gaffe (which turned out to be both literal and metaphorical) by saying that the story I posted 'holds no water' I'm glad to see you've finally come round in the end. To think, you could have saved yourself all of that bluster and guff if you'd just listened to me in the first place
The story you posted didn't hold any water. You merely claimed that we were conyinuing to pay him his full contract wages until he found another club. I doubted that then, I very much doubt it now! No guff from me, merely you conveniently rearranging what happened to suit your own point. Nothing new there, as we all know!
Leicester's turn to be the subject of gossip Chelsea want to sign Leicester's 29-year-old striker Jamie Vardy - and could offer up France forward Loic Remy, also 29, in a part-exchange deal. (Daily Mirror) Sounds a fair deal, wouldn't even involve any money Like this one @FosseFilberto ?
Do you think he does? No bottling on this one. Make a clear statement that we can all hold you to. Do you predict that Poch will want to leave for either United or Chelsea? If you bottle this question, I will claim a double-"owning" on your ass.
Sounds fair to me. Leicester swap an in-form striker for one that can't hit a barn-door from 5 paces! What's not to like about that deal?
Actually, thinking about it, Vardy would ideally suit Chelsea's park-the-bus-then-hit-it-long tactics. All they need is for Big Sam to write a love letter to Mad Dog, and that club is soooorrrrr-ted!
I've already addressed this HIAG, you really should think before you post. I'm going to claim a triple owning in response purely for the level of your **** up.
... I see this as equivalent to me swapping my Subaru Impreza for a ,not so' Reliant Robin and a book of stamps ...(I don't own a Subaru by the way - merely illustrative!)
HIAG, you are **** at this mate. I'd already addressed whether I think Pochettinho wants to leave before you even asked. If you'd bothered to read my posts, you could have saved yourself another embarrassing wum **** up
