    This is going to look silly if he changes his mind.

    Couldn't find the raspberry smilie. We may look back on this and laugh, but it took me about ten years to be able to look at my wedding photos again, so don't hold your breath.

    Come on CBK.....why such dislike? He has been good for us......I'm with you if you mean he should stay and would want him to stay. If he goes to spurs the pressure is going to be on him a lot more than it is here. The chances are he will be out of a job around Christmas......You know what Spurs owner is like.

    Mauricio showed us what we could be if we got a few more players...his leaving (all but) means that he is saying that we will never be good enough in his view. So he raised then dashed our expectations. We now have to wait and see...long summer.

    Isn't this the kind of language thugs and bully boys use? I hope you guys are not of that persuasion. There are other ways of expressing one's disappointment!! An ode or a sonnet or rambling free-verse would be better.

    I am just exercising the same attitude that managers & players have towards their clubs. It's all about motivated self interest, I can understand why they may want to move on, be it for money, ambition or whatever, but as a Southampton fan, its the interests of SFC that concern me, not Mr Pochettino's career.

    That's fair enough......but you are not giving him any credit at all. While I can agree it is disappointing for him not to stay and finish the job he was given, he was good for the club while he was here. As to his future career that does not interest me either but I do believe in being fair and he has been good for SFC and it's players.

    He ruined one of the best chances we may ever have at going to win the fa cup and as soon as a club comes calling he bolts. Grass isn't always greener.

    It is hard to give a guy credit who if he goes to spurs will likely be out a job by next summer. Its a revovling door there. Maybe he will be able to buck the trend but id have thought doing so well here he would have wished to build on it unless he has been told his best players are to be sold and he isnt getting money to replace them.

    I think it's more likely he thinks he can succeed at spurs where others have failed. He may be right too

    He will leave spurs the moment a top Spanish team turns his head again....

    He'll have to do pretty well at Spurs before that happens.

    He may do well at Spurs...we were so close to being a great side...Spurs probably have the edge on that.

    He may or may not, but if he does a good job there he will use spurs as a stepping stone.

    loved the passing and pressing football but i can't pretend i thought poch got the best out of what he had.

    more concerned that the players are all indoctrinated and the board are rudderless.

    Mauricio wasn't perfect by any means, but he is still young (in managerial terms). Our next manager could be even better...and the sun has just come out :)
