Something about Pochettino not being able to speak proper English - it was kinda ironic.

Pretty poor I agree. I think a more detailed explanation of the decision would have been helpful.

Hmm

Wasnt't NA bizarrely linked to Blackpool a few weeks back?

Standard practise Hypo and happens the world over. Strachan did the same to Gray.

Weren't we also linked with Mauro Zarate earlier this week? Might be something in that one too.

Dear God. Maybe we can get Elton John to release a memorial record.

Very succinctly put.

I am surprised that Merson even knows who is Nigel Adkins is.

I agree and expect this to now happen. Clearly management negotiations have been going on for some time.

But we wont know for a while if the decision is ****. You can't fault many of NC's decisions to date.

You have spent years slagging him off and are now crying crocodile tears. That makes you a hypocrite.

Nope, rightly or wrongly football is now more about business and I believe that NC has made a business decision. It's a brave decision and remains to be seen if it is good decision. As with any CEO he will be judged on this.

It's pragmatism.

Its not personal Alpine its fact. If you don't want public statements to come back and bite you in the arse then don't make them in the first place.

Says the man who has spent the past 2 or so years slating him, his team selection and his ability to attract players....

Totally agree.

NA has gone - 90 minutes of shouting at NC or MP won't change that. We have to accept the decision and move on or we will implode like Chelsea.

It will only be a bad decision if Pochettino doesn't perform. If he does we will all be happy and NA forgotten - thats football fans for you.

I can't say I am - nothing surprises me anymore with football and something has not been right with NA/NC for a while - the post-match comments after the Coventry promotion game were bizarre.

I don't disagree but football fans are fickle. Massive gamble by NC though.

What if Pochettino came in, was brilliant and we finish 10th? I agree with your sentiment but ultimately, as with Pardew, ex-Managers are soon forgotten if the new one is successful.

He speaks some English, Nixon was wrong earlier.

Normally I'd agree but the delay in the Forren signing and the Guillem Balague tweets have got me wondering. With a scheduled press conference imminent I suspect we will know either way very soon.
