Barry Sanchez Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 The real reason will be revealed in the summer when The Don returns with his friends and makes us one of the richest teams in the world.

Shroppie Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 Why would you need access to anyone's contract, the person with the contract has a mouth. I would be very surprised if there wasn't incentive based clauses in all the playing/management staff's contracts, especially given Cortese's banking background. Maybe the players don't get much for the cup - would explain why Wanyama ponced about like he didn't give a toss. I think this is very likely right. I know that all club employees got a big bonus the season under Strachen when we sneaked into 10th place on the last day. Very much doubt there were significant bonuses on offer for the cups. And until the financial gain to Clubs for FA Cup success starts to match Prem League prize money clubs will continue to be not bothered. Anyone know how much winning the cup is worth? Also agree that it's not entirely about not wanting to win the cup, although I think Poch doesn't want the Europa place as it would over stretch us next year, but more about maximising the league chances.

St Chalet Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 If coming 8th automatically extends his contract this is a good thing? The team we put out yesterday should have dispatched Sunderland. I personally put it down to arrogance and over confidence in our ability to turn up and win. Hope he hears the disappointment from fans and adjusts accordingly next season (on his well deserved enhanced contract). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Durman Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 I think there is merit in this theory. What is more important to Saints finishing as high as possible in the Premier league or winning the FA cup. I believe top 8 was the brief and MoPo will receive a large Bonus for this achievement. So what happened yesterday? Well MoPo wants the best team available against West Ham that is more important. Alot of players were suffering from fatigue, I think including Lallana and Rickie. MoPo wanted to freshen up the team, but the team under performed. I think his plan backfired or it confirmed that our squad needs significant strenghening to play in Europe and the League next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far more important things than money. They are all doing it for personal gain. Don't pretend they are not Not one of the players are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts and on the cheap Fair play to MP if this story is true.

Secret Site Agent Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 So, according to a friend of mine (he is a good friend of someone high up in the club) there is a good reason for Pochettino to concentrate on the league. He has an automatic clause in his contract that increases his pay and extends his contract if he finishes above 8th position. Makes sense as to the way he has sacrificed the cups, not that I agree with it at all as a fan. I rung up my pal, lets call him Clint, and asked him the question IF this was a viable target. He says NO. You would put in bonus clauses in stages, but not a position but an event. So European football, yes. Not being relegated, yes. Above 8th, highly unlikely. Just based on the fact that this is too arbritary a fiugure and no contracts solicitor in his right minbd would let a client sign up to that. No sucess in the FA cup, oh yes you could. And he finally signed of with, he hasn't seen that anywhere.ever. In any shape or form. But there are production bonus' in there somewhere. He believes In his own opinion. Supposedly.

dubai_phil Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 It's certainly not off Twitter. Pochettino wanted to do well in the cups, just not with his 'first' team as such. Either way we should have beaten them with the team put out. Not being a Happy Clapper I agree with that. Full whole "Project" is about getting better every week & every Season, to do that you need targets. What the post match hysteria has missed is that JWP SHOULD have scored but scuffed an attempted side footer in the first half, Lallana SHOULD have scored but missed the target from close range and THEN SRL became the butt of Pizza delivery ad jokes by missing from close in. The team which MP put out was NOT our best but REALLY should have beaten them. Anyone who has been a follower of football and of course Saints would understand results can go against you as it did yesterday. Personally I fully understand the clamour to have played our best 11 & treated it as a PL game, I also have a feeling deep down that even IF we had, our name wasn't on the Cup anyway so it would not have mattered. Let's face it, we were beaten by the kind of fluke strike that only Gaston Ramirez could score, BUT which seems to happen against us too often. SRL is as liable to refund the MAGNIFICENT away support as the club is for that miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very problem seems to be that players like Stephens and Isgrove aren't good enough to step up into the First XI for Cup games, not even a home jaunt against Yeovil which should easily be within their capabilities if they're ever going to make anything of themselves. If these lads (some of them are 20+) are ever going to be capable of PL nay European football they should be pushing garbage like Jos and Guly out of the side altogether but they aren't. We've taken everything viable out of the youth squad already, the rest aren't up to scratch that's all. We should be looking for bargains like the CB that Sunderland had yesterday, 24 or so, about 6ft 6 and an Argentinian international, he's playing already Stephens and Turnbull are just eternal white hopes. They'll be let go soon, as many have been before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faz Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 Is it really a surprise the MP has a bonus linked to our league position? The club stand to earn millions from each place gained. There probably is a trophy bonus too in all likelihood, but I would hazard a guess that by the time the bonuses are paid the club make very little from it. In terms of MP's personal CV surely a trophy of any description adds weight, so why would he intentionally risk it my intentionally fielding a weakened side? We had the better chances in that game, and the players chosen created them, and then fluffed them. Sh1t happens. That's not to say I don't feel sorry for the fans who made the trip and had to endure that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieDog Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 It really was a strange game. Their goal was a great strike, but other than a few desperate moments at the end when we were PUSHING FOR AN EQUALISER, we really weren't threatened at the back. JWP and Rick should both have scored. Kelvin came up for a corner. The team should have been good enough to win, but pretty much every player either had a poor game or was made to look poor by their team mates. IF we weren't trying to win the game then surely we would have rested Lallana for the whole game? Same with Shaw. We really couldn't afford any injuries to key players. I can't believe Lambert, at 32, would give up probably the best opportunity he is ever going to get for a Cup Final (let's be honest, if he flukes it on to the plane to Brazil - which I would love! - the chances of England getting to the Final AND him being in the team are only slightly better than our chances of winning the FA Cup THIS season...). Maybe - just maybe - the Hull game, shortly after playing the Stoke game, took more out of the players than people thought? I was truly gutted after the game. I went straight to bed after the game (just after midnight here) and took ages to get to sleep as I was FUMING after that display.... but 2 days later, I'm over it. I bet some of the players are still gutted. Let's hope we can get back on track in the League. I'm hopefully optimistic that 6th is still in our sights. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

Dalek2003 Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 Who knows.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 If MP wasn't botherd about winning the game, why did he bring Morgan and JRod on? The simple truth is that a lot of foregin managers and players dont give a shiny shiete about the cup, the FA cup is now viewed exactly the same as the overseas ones. Its all well and good banging on about it, but 17k people told its own story, as did our gates in previous rounds. Last year I went to the Chelsea game and there were no regular st holders anywhere near me. People dont care about it, until we go out, then all of a sudden its a big deal. I feel sorry for the guys who went up there, but they shouldn't have been surprised by the side (although the performance must have shocked them).At the end if the day MP didn't want us to lose, but would rather lose that game than ANY league game. Forget all this pony about it enhancing his repuation abroad by winning the cup, its nonsense. Finishing above Man Utd and Newcastle will get him more credit abroad than a cup win. Until a champions league place is on offer, the cup will never regain its appeal . And unless we have a manager like Adkins or a similar "dreamer" the league will always take priority. End of.

It was his call and ..guess what, he might have been telling the truth..some players needed rest and /or were carrying injuries. What it did show was that our bench doesn't give us the strength in depth that other sides have. Our problem is not the " first team regulars" , but their replacements who aren't upto the same standard. Chelsea, Arsenal and Man.City don't have a " regular side "as such, but have the ability to keep internationals on the bench, and change players without affecting the balance of the team.
