I guess many are worried he might be a rich man's Tim Sherwood. Maybe rightfully so.
I see every media outlet is now back to discussing how Pochettino will be next Utd manager. Pathetic and embarrassing. That McNulty at the BBC is the worst of them all for me. Smug prat.
Be funny if we win the double and then Pochettino goes to Man City instead, would 'almost' be worth it just to see the utd fans cry like the babies they are..

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
I get where you're coming from but:
Players = Transfer fee:
Manager = Buying out their contract.
this is exactly my thinking. Will only get him so far then they'll be looking for a real coach.
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)

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.
...and the rest?
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
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.
More importantly, in Poch, Levy has someone who perfectly fits the ethos of the club right now and (touch wood) really does seem to have a loyalty that sets him apart from basically everyone. Those photos of him out to dinner with Fergie scared the shit out of me at the time, but it looks more and more like he wants to be our Fergie - not just take some oil-rich easy-mode job after having made a name for himself.
He's priceless, you know.
Battle of Hastings! 
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.
Kinda miss him
Nabil's 'come and get me' letter to the Premier League
That’s an incredibly naive statement to make.
They are the wealthiest club in the league when it comes to natural revenue and as long as they can pay 3 times the salaries we can they will always be a more attractive option than us and we will always been vulnerable by their advances.
That was the case in 2008 it is still the case in 2019.
