Pochettino

I think he should stay at Spurs.

I know it’s rare anyone says no to Real Madrid but how do you follow a manager who has won the last 3 Champions Leagues?

He’s built a very good side at Spurs and apparently now he’s being backed financially he could make it even stronger.

I know we like to bring up the no trophies thing a lot but in reality it testament to the job Poch has done (a bit like Klopp) that we are in a position to bring it up. We almost expect that they should be winning. Does anyone tease Everton or West Ham for not winning trophies? Not really.

The Madrid job is a poisoned chalice and it would be timing imo.

It seems like the perfect time for Poch to leave imo. I think he's built all he can with Spurs really and he's definitely made them a stronger team than the 5 years previous to his arrival.

I just can't see how he can take that Spurs side forward now. I think as Real do go through this transitional period, Poch would be the man to see them through that period of time as the likes of Bale/Ronaldo/Benzema/Modric/Ramos who are now entering their 30's, end up moving on or retiring. He's the person who can build them up for me.

In Spurs' case, I feel as though they need a competent manager who has a track record of winning trophies. Even something like a League Cup or FA Cup at this stage would be ideal for Spurs along with a top 4 finish. Poch moving to Real could be a win-win for both sides if all goes well.

The thing for any Manager is to ask Real Madrid what their plan is to replace 5 key players that could now be defined as in the latter years?

The club doesn't do 'transitional' periods as it is about buying their way back to success.

Ramos: 32
Marcelo: 30
Modric: 33 this year
Ronaldo: 33
Benzema: 31 this year

Replacing these players this season or the next is no small feat, and then there is building depth in the squad to challenge on all title fronts as third place is not to any fans liking.

It's hard not to move as Tottenham are not going to win the league, maybe an FA Cup at best..?

I expect him to go if the interest is serious enough, but I am sure he'll be asking what Real Madrid vision for their future.

'Chelsea have had more of their better players move over the same period'.

Sandy's talking his nonsense again.

Ramos and Marcelo maybe the wrong side of 30 but they’re still brilliant players who don’t need replacing just yet. Real need rebuilding but they don’t need to rebuilt the whole first XI. 5 of their starting XI are in their 20s and they have players like Asensio, Kovacic and Vasquez coming through too.

If they can bring in 3-4 quality players this summer that could make a big difference. Real might be hard to manage but every manager in the world will want to prove themselves there.

Let’s be honest, if he wouldn’t go to Madrid just because they’ve won the last three CL then he’s probably not the manager Madrid want.
