No.Stupid that this is news.........do you think they actually contacted Levy to ask?...
Guys guys guys. There's no need to be concerned at all.
Can't believe we're missing out on this kind of insight.
He's already left twice for bigger clubs - there is no shame in that. Most managers / players do - not sure what the big deal is. If you think Poch will spend 15 years with us - you must be smoking somethingPoch on Cortese
"Me on a personal sense, I would not understand a Southampton without Nicola being here."
"When I got to know his project, we were basically on the same wavelength as to what we wanted for Southampton in the future.
"Basically, my future in Southampton has to be with Nicola."
These are not the words of someone who shows no loyalty. Now if you can provide comments by Poch to back up that he has no loyalty, I'll happily concede and agree with you. Until you do, his behaviour, actions, words all point to a very loyal and trustworthy man.
Where the fuck have I said he will stay 15yrs??? He has a 5yr contract with us (the longest contract given to a new Spurs Manager).He's already left twice for bigger clubs - there is no shame in that.

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is the best manager in England, according to the Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy. (Times - subscription required)
This summer could see him leave. I pray it don't but even if it did I'm not that worried.
He inherited a team that has been built over years through a few managers terms in office. Its a natural situation for football mangers careers only to last a couple seasons nowadays. Before being sacked or moving on for a better cash offer. .
He'd be an idiot to leave us after what he has achieved with/for us. He is in a far better chance at winning the Champions League with us next season. Can't imagine he wants to take a step down and manage Man U. They could be out the top 4 for a couple more seasons yet. Still recovering from the loss of Alex. They aren't in the Champions league next year. I don't see him taking up the job. They will go with Jose short term just to get back into the money tournaments while they look for a more long-lasting appointment.
As for Alex he needs to stick to playing with my little pony and mind his own fooking business
If its similar its pure coincidence as I haven't seen it myself! I'll have to look it up!This is quoted form Lammy's appearance on the Spurs Show isn't it? Might have to try and sit through that.
Brain delay hold that last post hahahahahahaha sudden realisation has occurred. You meant the actual news quote.If its similar its pure coincidence as I haven't seen it myself! I'll have to look it up!
And they say money has no place in this game...up their in economic place
So your entire 'claim' of his loyalty is based on some PR bullshit around the sacking of CorteseWhere the fuck have I said he will stay 15yrs??? He has a 5yr contract with us (the longest contract given to a new Spurs Manager).
He was sacked by Espanyol before he went to Southampton, so he didn't leave them to go to Southampton, he was out of a job and free to go wherever.
The decision to leave Southampton and join us was made easy once the Chief Executive resigned following differences/change of direction/ambition with the Southampton Trust/Board. Poch publicly showed his loyalty to the Chief Exec saying he would leave if Cortese left. Cortese left, he left as he stated he would.
He may well leave when his contract is due, he may well not agree to sign a new deal with Spurs should we offer him one, which may well make us think hard about a replacement (to many variable here).
You said he is not loyal, I have shown you that his actions show the opposite to this. I am waiting for you to PROVE that he is not loyal.......you have responded but have got your facts wrong. I assume you can't back up your claim as I have backed up mine.
Lol you're not wrong. I only listen to them after a win.Spurs Show Podcast what's that?
Tend to ignore their negative rambles, call me a happy clapper!
What PR bullshit? It's a fact, Cortese resigned because he didn't have the backing of the trust/board. Cortese's ambitions were to keep the players, he with Poch and the original owner, Marcus Liebher, were to build on the squad that they had assembled, their ambitions were to have Southampton challenge for the league. This required further investment something that Katrine Liebher wasn't going to do, in fact they sold all their players.So your entire 'claim' of his loyalty is based on some PR bullshit around the sacking of Cortese
If he was so 'loyal' why didn't he resign when the former left in January?
