I like the beginning of the Kane thread, too. Credit to those who own up to it though - I'm sure we all have posts we'd like to have back.The first few pages of this thread.
ochfacepalm:
It'd be unbelievably awesome if we got to see him bring Maurizio into the senior squad.
Though he'll have to be good enough!
We wouldn't be able to boo him, we'd have to put up with every mistake quietly.
I thought Kane was crap.....to be fair he was!
I love the early kane thread - people making innocent random digs at him. Now rated as 'funny'.

'i am Toni Jimenez' made me piss
I remember being at Villa away, the "he's one of own" song was sung with a fair amount of irony - he scored a massively deflected freekick to scrape a win....and never looked back.
Scary how accurate all of this isI think he would do an incredible job at Spurs - But there will be casualties
He will lay out his ideas and ethos out and the players will need to buy into them and not all of them will.
The unanswered question withy regard to Poch is how he manages the "Bigger" players. At Espanyol and Saints he hasn't really had any superstars, to have to mould or develop (It is easier to dictate how you want things done to young or ego free players). For those that do buy into him or as a minimum simply tow the line, he will get the very best out of them and I think that is his biggest skill. He will also improve and develop the younger players, which seems to be his mantra.
Player for player you have a better squad than us - If he can knit them together and playing to their potential in the way he done for us, then you'll be very successful.
There is a conflict between expectation and developing the younger players, so without knowing what Levy wants in that department it's hard to comment how that will play out, but don't be surprised to suddenly see unknown players from your academy on the bench or even in the team. I am probably just a soppy old sod, but there is something very gratifying about watching homegrown talent and Poch will give them a chance.
As I said before, I could live with losing all our star players if we got to keep him and hope we do everything we can to keep him.
Oh and For the purists amongst you - you will play the best football you have for years.
But that's all irrelevant - There's only one Frank De Boer
Poch and Toni are still quite competitive, driven to win or improve as coaches or previously players.
This really shines through here, and in everything they do with the squad.
Yes they present as being absolutely committed to the club!
Sign him up. Been ages since Eriksen scored a FK!
Thinking about Contes comments the other day. People like him and Mourinho really are feeble little one dimensional men aren't they!
Pep needs class and will spend a fortune to get there but can't nurture it. Klopp is a maniac and wenger still a petulant loser.
Mourinho just pumping money to win using power and height and Conte really pulled a cunt move digging us for not spending. Really tried getting into ur players heads when he knows how settled our first 11 is. Hope we smack them at Wembley and Morata flops so he gets binned!
Poch as a man has more class than all of them combined. Without people like him in the premier league it would become filled with mercenaries. Let's hope with him at the helm real footballers will want to join the revolution! Walker really let us and him down moving in my honest opinion. Let's hope the boys stick together and use Walkers snub as fuel

Are you supposed to "man-manage" apparent home-sickness out of someone?
Or "man-manage" a lack of cash available (for the cynics)?
Some of our "fans" are nobheads.
Hmmmm Alex Ferguson did exactly the same at United with loads of players like Ince, Stam, Beckham, etc
