He's certainly proof that a good manager can make a difference to players, both individually and collectively. Before he arrived, nobody could have entertained the idea that Kane, Dier and Alli would be among the best players not just at the club, but the entire league too
Very good news indeed we have craved stability for so long. Mauricio has done a brilliant job because he understands the details. It's all about the details. We could be about to embark on a golden period for Spurs, we are certainly closer than we have been for many years. His English get's better all the time and once he stops taking English lessons from Ossie we will be able to understand every word he says.
“Sir Alex Ferguson is a very special person. He was given the security to build his legacy at Manchester United. I believe we are special too, and we can build it here together. This club is special. “I felt the love from the beginning, from the very first day. I am very happy to be here to hopefully achieve big things. I think the potential is fantastic, with the new stadium. “I think the club is coming to a very tough period because we are building a new stadium and we may focus sometimes on that, but at the same time it is very exciting. “Our focus is to try to perform in the next game, because always in football the most important time is the present. But it is important for all to know I believe in this club - the players, the staff, the supporters and the people here. This is important, that is why we have decided to stay here. “We have made steps in the time we have been here and we believe in more time we can achieve big things.” This is the manager we have waited for. COYS!
This really is fantastic news, especially as I've heard Eriksen said he would stay if Pochettino did. I think everyone feels there's both unfinished business and a chance to accomplish great things.
Great news and hilarious that Poch revealed this on the same day that those Mugs at Sky Sports were reporting he was interested in the PSG job, making Sky look the absolute fools that they are.
Maybe those facts are connected? He may have wanted to wait till paperwork was signed, but quashing the rumours brought it forward
That's how I saw it. Eriksen saying he would stay if Pochettino did was a statement of support for his coach and a way of saying that the team as well as the coach deserve to be rewarded. Our players outworked everyone else as well as outperforming them, and are on the brink of ensuring a big increase in income to the club. While everyone makes stupid money, Spurs make less than others, and conventional wisdom indicates you share an increase in income with those who earned it for you.
Interesting quotes from MP about Levy He is one of the best club presidents in the world,’ says Pochettino Mauricio Pochettino has offered rare insight into the Tottenham Hotspur chairman, Daniel Levy. The way that he suffers for Tottenham, for his club, for the fans – he is very sensitive in that but sometimes it’s difficult to show that to the media and our supporters. It’s very difficult to manage a big club like Tottenham and, in his position, it’s always difficult to be kind to everyone. But the job he has done is fantastic.” “We share everything, all the decisions, and we have very good communication,” Pochettino said. “We are involved in the decisions to sign players and this is a very good thing because I feel good and he feels good. We have people behind us that feel important for the club too. We are a unit. “For me, it’s unfair when Daniel gets criticised because people sometimes don’t have all the information. Look at how the club is today – the training ground, the new stadium, the whole project. I can only praise him. He is one of the best presidents in the world.”
“I think the future is fantastic for Tottenham who have unbelievable supporters, a new stadium, incredible facilities and they can become a top club and fight every season to be the top club. “Whether they can achieve that is different, but it is important early next season to fight for it.” Pochettino claims he made the announcement about his contract to end speculation about his future with reports linking him to Paris St Germain and Manchester United. But he also did it to make sure his players know exactly how committed he is to Spurs – and to help attract the right kind of signings this summer. Pochettino, who insists he had no other offers on the table, said: “I think it is a good time. It is important that we are not wasting time with rumours and different things. “I think of course we are responsible to show we believe in the club and then we show we want to keep all the big, important players. They are important to our future. “The players want to stay here and bring this club to the new stadium and play in the Champions League. It is a collective objective. “I think it is important for the players and the potential players that will come that they don’t hear rumours about whether Pochettino will be here or not. I think that is very important. “We are ready to compete in the market and try to add the players that can help us in the future. Not that we need much because we have a good squad already.”Pochettino insists he asked for no assurances from Spurs chief Daniel Levy about how much his transfer budget might suffer from the new stadium investment before agreeing his new deal. He said: “I not need assurances. I didn’t ask for anything. In the moment that the president wanted to extend my contract he showed his ambition.“The players are very happy here. I want to be involved in the future of the club.”
It'll be done after the final whistle on Sunday, Poch to knee-slide in front of us in the Park Lane, while ripping open his shirt to reveal a t-shirt underneath saying "5 more years baby, COYS!".
When he left Southampton everyone knew it was happening cos of them getting rid of the guy who brought him there. He had to be talked out of quitting at Xmas but it was known he would go in the summer. The only surprise was that he came to us. After the things he has said this week it would be bizarre to be caught being blatantly tapped up. I would jump to the conclusion of it bring about a transfer target or him getting advice from SAF.
