[Albion] Should we go for Poch?

[lawros left foot]

How much would he cost, realistically?

We made 122 million profit last year, we will get the same, if not more this year.


Offer him 8 million a year, he was thought to be on 10 at Chelsea, but they are notorious overpayers.

He might like the idea of coaching our South American wonder kids.

 

[Silverhatch]

Ridiculous people are saying no. Very good manager

He is a very BIG club manager who has just left by mutual consent because he didn’t agree with Winstanley’s/Clearlake direction? Would go down well with our South American contingent.

 

[brighton_tom]

IF we could get him, he’d jump ship at the first opportunity to a bigger club if he was doing well for us. So no thanks. Obviously lots of manager would jump to a bigger club if given the opportunity, but seeing as he’s already been in the big club trophy winning world I doubt he’d have any problem leaving us very quickly if the opportunity came up to get back there. A bit like when Ancelotti was at Everton.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Pochettino has failed at the last 3 'big' clubs he’s been at, and sacked by impatient owners. How many more big clubs are out there willing to take a chance on him? Just as important, surely he wouldn’t mind a break from mad owners and mad fans at clubs who demand everything done yesterday? All that said, I can’t see it happening.

 

[West Upper Seagull]

He won’t come here but wouldn’t it be bold and brave for someone who has managed big clubs to decide they are going to show their true coaching ability by taking on a team like us that doesn’t have big name superstars and actually achieve something. I’ve often thought whether the likes of Guardiola would be as good as people think if they weren’t in charge of an ‘elite’ club with millions at their disposal.

This. If I managed Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City I think I'd back myself to win a trophy or two. I'd love to see how Guardiola would get on at Mansfield or Newport. Sadly I don't think Pochettino would come, but he'd be brilliant for us.

 

[Washie]

Might as well try to go for Alex Ferguson too. Just as much chance of it happening.

 

[Pavilionaire]

If Poch has had enough of managing at the elite level and fancies another crack at a mid table Prem team based on the South Coast of England.then I'd say we're in pole position.

 

[StonehamPark]

1: it’ll never happen as he’s too big for us.
2: To the MANY(?!) of you who voted No, in the nicest possible way, you’re all fecking mental.

 

[Swegulls]

Yes, bring him in! He’s already got more money than he can spend and must be feckin tired of those ”big” clubs. What a boost for Enciso, Barco, Pedro et al, a reason to stay.

Well said, I’ve had the same thoughts over the years.

 

[jcdenton08]

I’d be absolutely delighted, but no, I just can’t see him wanting to come here. Any number of top European clubs will want him.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That’s a completely different situation. Our model is based on facts, data, algorithms etc. which has been proven as a very effective model of finding good players to fit our system. Boehly’s system is pure scattergun madness, toddler in a sweetshop!

Deliberate pun?

Very good if it is!

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Yes, bring him in! He’s already got more money than he can spend and must be feckin tired of those ”big” clubs. What a boost for Enciso, Barco, Pedro et al, a reason to stay.

Is that because with Pochetino, they would have a boss who's name also ends in o ?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Absolutely no chance we will go for him, or that he'd be interested in Brighton.

Arguably turned a clueless Chelsea around, take your point though

Arguably turned a clueless Chelsea around, take your point though

I might be more impressed by that if it hadn't taken about 7months, including a whole pre-season, to get there.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I might be more impressed by that if it hadn't taken about 7months, including a whole pre-season, to get there.

Personally I think it was impressive even with some great players. Chelsea are an absolute mess and he was having a great effect.

 

[Hamilton]

He’s done his time with the Southampton/Brightons why would he go back to that level. People are mental.

Because he’s won f*** all in his career?

But my answer is still, no.

 

[Steve in Japan]

The No's are a tad delusional - we should be so f***ing lucky.
