Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

Not sure Levy will go for awarding clean sheet bonuses to the whole team:)

Hope he does.

If a clean sheet bonus has any effect at all it should be awarded to all players, particularly when playing a system like what I hope Poch will try to implement at Spurs.
 
ACtually women wear it on the right (im hoping im right) therefore the conclusion that can be derived is that Baldini WAS a woman

People normally wear their wris****ch on the opposite wrist to their dominant hand because it is easier to put on. I am not aware of any conventions on women wearing a watch on the opposite wrist to a man.

Yes exactly. The reason I mentioned him being a lefty.
 
Transfer news: Dejan Lovren criticises Southampton over Liverpool snub

Dejan Lovren: Southampton defender celebrates after scoring at Anfield last season



Dejan Lovren has criticised Southampton for blocking a potential move to Liverpool and the defender admits his head is already at Anfield.

Liverpool, who have signed forwards Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana from Saints already this summer, had a £20million bid for the Croatia international rejected on Friday.

The south coast side want £25m for their star centre-back, who says he does not see a future at the club following the departures of popular manager Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham, Luke Shaw to Manchester United, and Lambert and Lallana to Merseyside.

Lovren, 25, told Croatian media: "Liverpool sent the offer and the club haven’t informed me, not even about the subsequent Liverpool bids, and that wasn’t right.

"I found out from other people, which disappointed me, and I realise I’ve got no business staying at Southampton.





"Frankly, my head is already at Liverpool. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the last time I played at Anfield I got chills when I heard ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. I would like to listen to it all the time."

"They paid £9m for me so they would’ve earned twice the amount. At this point, I don’t know what I’ll do and I don’t like it.

"Frankly, my head is already at Liverpool. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the last time I played at Anfield I got chills when I heard ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. I would like to listen to it all the time."

Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Southampton endured an uncertain time following the resignation of popular chairman Nicola Cortese in January.

Pochettino, Lambert, Lallana and Shaw have all left the club in the close-season and, speaking to Croatian publication Sportske Novosti, Lovren believes Southampton have subsequently fallen apart.

He said: "I signed because the club had great ambition. Cortese and Pochettino convinced me to sign, gave me assurances about the project and incredible confidence, but when the chairman left and Pochettino was going too, as early as April, I realised things had fallen apart.

"Honestly, I don’t know who the main man at the club is anymore. I’d gladly stay at Southampton if the club had any ambitions and if they kept the key players – not even the Liverpool bid would have dissuaded me if they had done that."

Lovren was signed by Pochettino from Lyon last summer and has made 31 appearances for the Saints, scoring twice.


Interesting we had him lined up in April, as wasn't this when Tim started mouthing off a lot more?
 
He certainly started mouthing off more after he wasn't given any assurances for this season. I think that in turn tipped the scales from 'uncertain' to 'gone'.
 
yea true, speaking of which, when did all the FDB start coming out, was that May? Interesting if Poch was already in place by then.

Might not be that we had him lined up in April just because he had (supposedly) decided to leave at that point. He said earlier in the season that if Cortese left he would go too, it might just be that he decided in April (or made it known to some of his players then in anticipation of transfer market action) that he would leave Southampton assuming that an offer from a bigger or better situated club would come in.

I do think that parallel to this Sherwood knew that he was done by April, but not getting into all that again.

--------------------------------------------

Most reports seem to indicate that the positive mood is back in the squad after Poch's appointment, hopefully that will last a long time.
 
The more I think about it, the more I'm excited about Pochemania at the Lane.

I'm gonna put it out there, he will at least see out his 5 year contract. I actually think this is a very, very good fit.

Pochemania begins.
 
“It’s a different club to Southampton. Tottenham is a bigger club and we need to win, but not only win, we need to create a good philosophy. Our philosophy is exciting football, pressing attacking football.

“This is our target for the moment. During the season the targets will come.”

An article from January, focused on Cortese, but also highlighting the way he and Poch shared a vision for Southampton.

Part of the article:



Hope Poch brings some of that same dedication and attention to details to Spurs.

Love all of this.

Considering the amounts spent on player wages, going this "extra mile" seems both sensible and a great way to get an advantage.
