No.1 Target Pochettino

So apparently this dude is now our top target Here we go again another change, this time tho instead of someone who's won something like avb or is very experienced like Harry we're gonna take a gamble on this lad? Doesn't fill me with confidence...

Espanyol
In late January 2009, Pochettino became Espanyol's third coach in the 2008–09 season, with the side ranking third from bottom[6] but eventually finishing comfortably placed (10th), after the coach inclusively asked for "divine intervention".[7] He coached nine club players who were his teammates during his last year and, in early June, renewed his link for a further three years.

In the 2009–10 campaign Pochettino once again led Espanyol to a comfortable league position, in a campaign where club symbol (and his former teammate) Raúl Tamudo fell completely out of favour in the squad's rotation, even more after the January 2010 arrival of manager compatriot Pablo Osvaldo.[8]

On 28 September 2010 Pochettino extended his contract with the club for one more year, until 30 June 2012.[9] On 26 November 2012, however, following a 0–2 home loss against Getafe CF that left the Pericos in the last place with just nine points from 13 matches, his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[10]

Southampton
On 18 January 2013, Pochettino was announced as the new first-team manager of Premier League club Southampton,[11] replacing Nigel Adkins[12] and becoming the second Argentine manager in English football, after Osvaldo Ardiles.[13] His first match in charge was five days later, a 0–0 draw against Everton at St Mary's Stadium;[14][15] he recorded his first win on 9 February, 3–1 at home over reigning champions Manchester City.[16]

Pochettino speaks English but since arriving at Southampton he has used a translator in press conferences, an inability to express himself fully is the only reason he still uses an interpreter.[17]

He led the Saints to notable victories against other top league sides, including the 3–1 home win over Liverpool[18] and the 2–1 against Chelsea also at St Mary's.[19]

Thudd,

Do you think Southampton will be able to keep those players though? All the media hype around Shaw and Lallana, especially after the world cup will likely have the big clubs come sniffing around and tapping up the players.

I can't see why not, all players I've mentioned are all young, raw and obviously love the club, If I was playing at Saints and enjoying my football and getting 30k a week why would you leave to join say, Chelsea, City, Arsenal and potentially not get a game

"Thats a wind up if ever I heard one."

You're just jealous he thought of it first.

"Pochettino won;t leave Saints, I can almost guarantee this, he's got a great squad and with a few additions they can overtake us next season."

He is relying on only one retention at Spurs to do that.

I doubt it has any chance of happening but i genuinely hope we stick with Tim next season. If he can improve us the way he has in that short space of time, and with a squad of misfits, i would like to see what he's capable of doing after including some players of his choice.
