I guess many are worried he might be a rich man's Tim Sherwood. Maybe rightfully so.Ole seems to be doing pretty good so far, I don't know why United fans are still dying to get Poch

So I saw an article this morning about United prepared to pay the fee required to get Pochettino, and it did make me wonder why managers tend to be a lot cheaper than players.
The Express claim £34m as the fee (and I know the article is going to be bollocks), but if we take that at face value, that seems extremely cheap for someone so integral to our club, considering that your top players are going for £100m+ in todays markets.
I think Solskjaer is pretty much just a less mental version of Sherwood - the 'just go out and play attacking football' approach only gets you so far
Lot of money. Will it be enough to turn Levy's head?
Manchester United are willing to pay Tottenham a £34m compensation fee for manager Mauricio Pochettino if they appoint him as their boss in the summer. (Standard)

Pochettino is worth more to Spurs than Neymar went for.Not in the grand scheme of things. Pochettino is worth a lot more than many of our players. If Utd want him surely it’s worth north of £50m. Would rather we sold Eriksen for £150m than lose Pochettino for peanuts.

Agreed. Consider that Poch's coaching genuinely seems to generate cash/value more than any other manager I can think of (Trippier, for example, could be sold for more money than he's worth due to Poch's fullback whispering), that alone is worth way more than £34m.Not in the grand scheme of things.

the only issue with this logic is when/ if the managers head is turned they are worthless, players you still have some control but managers are done - its why the transfer market for them is not the same as players even though 9/10 they are the most important part of any success.Pochettino is worth more to Spurs than Neymar went for.
If I was Levy I would tell Manure that I would want £250m plus
Keeping Poch will earn him that in the next 3-4 years, if he gets the players to keep the performances he's getting at the moment.
actually, fuck it - I would pay Poch to stay, whatever it takes
It’s the painful realisation for them that it’s not 2008 anymore, and Tottenham are a more attractive option right now.
20 times 20 times.....whatever, SAF is long gone and they are just another Woolwich/Chelsea
