Glasgow_Saint Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 We should be planning for next season NOW Either Mopo is staying or he's not - might be time for the club to place a deadline on Mopo to decide. Mopo has shown very little loyalty to the club since day 1. Hes also shown that he is not a man of his word.... our stock is strong atm, we could get a very good and dedicated replacemtn very easily http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/may/16/mauricio-pochettino-quit-southampton-nicola-cortese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowllyd Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Only massive clubs could pull that and it only worked once, Liverpool with Suarez this year. People on here, if you want some football knowledge I will charge £20 an hour but it will be worth it. So that would be about 20p to hear all you know about football then. Still not tempting I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow_Saint Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Yes, every club should every day tell the fans what they are doing! But the club is telling us. Freddy said he's still trying and is unsure (on mopo) he went on to say nobody is bigger than the club... Correct! Imho its time for actions not words. We need to start planning for next season NOW. Not in a few weeks/ months while mopo dangles the carrot and waits to see if a better offer comes his way. Loyalty works both ways and mopo has shown very little since arriving here.

DuncanRG Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 The club, and Pochettino, are planning for next season. Regardless of whether he stays or not, he will be doing his job right now. He probably went into work today, and before/after training may have looked at player tapes, heard scouting reports, etc. That's what professional managers do whether they're leaving in the summer or signing a new 60 year contract. It seems like contract talks will wait til the end of the season. That's not unreasonable - that's when most clubs conduct that sort of business. Doesn't mean there isn't work going on before then. Of course it's important to get him tied down early, so the players know he's staying and potential transfer targets know who they'd be working under... but who would sign a contract before he knows what his options are? It's far too early to be worrying, let's see where we are in a month's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gut feeling is about as accurate as any speculation right now. Well considering they've had all types of manager ranging from the dinosaur Redknapp to the youthful Vilas-Boas I don't think you can really identify a stereotype of Spurs manager. Pochettino is favourite with the bookies but I don't know how much that really means. Don't see why they can't keep Sherwood, then again I don't like them much either.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 It may seem an outlandish view but here it is for what its worth.....I think our previous chairman honestly thought we could break into the top 4 and hence the signings of Gaston and Osvaldo....Osvaldo i believe was the firepower he believed we needed, and we all know how that ended. As much as i like Gaston and believe he is very talented, he is not the correct player for the Premier league. Once we started to fall away from the top 6 before xmas and Osvaldo then turned into physco nut job it was obvious we were not going to be a top 4 side (lets be honest it was never going to happen but i kind off admire the ex chairman for his belief and vision). Everything since then has shown that we did not want to qualify for the Europa cup....and at risk of upsetting those that wanted to see us march into Europe i personally believe we would have been mad to contemplate Europe with the size of squad we have.

OldNick Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 I don't give a toss about pre match interviews and most of the time post match interviews. Very rarely do they tell us anything, the best managers defend their players and just fend off questions. As for MP pledging his future to Saints, if he did many on here would say 'he's going to say that' The fact is if any really top team came in for him it wouldn't matter how long contract he was on he'd probably leave. I still remember Keegan saying buy your season tickets I'm staying and within e week he was a Newcastle player.
