Get this man a contract...

I don't think many of our supporters would have grasped the point you were making without the benefit of the Roman analogy.

The thing I took from it was the timing: was it coincidence that he made the remarks so soon after Pochettino's?

Blatant opportunism on Ole's part. He won't be immune to the lambasting of Pochettino in the media for his comments.

Since the days of Cicero, a good orator has been able to manipulate the mob with good rhetoric.

If Ole is a modern day Marcus Antonius appealing to the passions of the mob, Pochettino is Marcus Junius Brutus attempting to reignite the flame of republican virtue. The point I'm making is that fans don't want to be told that winning trophies isn't a priority

Thanks for spelling it out, LL. I don't think many of our supporters would have grasped the point you were making without the benefit of the Roman analogy.

This

They're right up there with "recruitment consultants"

Talk about money for nothing

I don’t really think they’re saying conflicting points of views tbh.

They inflated Man Utd transfers to make a point.

There's a marked difference in emphasis. I think this is meaningful, but not particularly in terms of defining the approach and mindset of the managers. The significance is more in reading between the lines. Pochettino's comment that he can't afford to make cups and top 4 an equal priority comes soon after pointed remarks about needing to change the investment model if Spurs are to progress. Solskjaer's comment can be read in establishing his credentials as the man who is moulded by Fergie's philosophy.

I assume you penned this from the comfort of your white van whilst sipping a brew with 7 sugars and wolf whistling at anything showing a bit of leg?

----------------------------------------------------------------------Yes, completely agree. I’d also add, as much as fans don’t want to hear it, Pochettino is absolutely right in that for Spurs to develop, top four is far more important than the league cup as they have to be in the best position to attract the best players possible. The club also needs the additional revenue as they go through the stadium move.

He didn’t say at any point he’d disregarded both and didn’t see them as important - his lineup against Chelsea in the semi final that led to Kane’s injury is testament to that too.

...and having a pull about,

why do people try to read so much into others words, ffs 2 out the last 3 managers we've had basically gave up before the fight started, ole was around the club during one of its most successful times, he's used to the club being successful when he's around and wants us to keep it that way
