Like? Redknapp took a club from the bottom of the league to the champions league in just over 18 months. He got to a quarter final at the first time of asking.
They are remarkably similar - both prioritised the league over the domestic cups ( and were public with their derision for such tournaments). Both have lost a league cup final and couldn’t get past the semi in the FA Cup, both benefited from the fruits of a previous system and both are/were not top class managers. The only thing Poch has achieved is more consistent CL qualifications but given that he has better team than Redknapp did so he should.
Firstly you say “the only thing he’s achieved is more consistent CL” like that’s a minor thing. It isn’t, it’s massive, not just for us positively, but for our direct competitors who we’ve usurped, negatively, every time we’ve done it.
Secondly, I don’t think he had a much better team either. Redknapp has the same fullbacks available to him, Gallas and King, Modric, Parker, Palacios, Sandro as CM’s, VDV, Bale, Adebayor.
And more importantly, as much as I’ve got some issues recently with him, Pochettino got us, through proper coaching, consistently playing a brand of football, made us a cohesive team with and without the ball, introduced some bollocks collectively, improved players, gave us an identity.
Now, I definitely think he’s lost his way a bit lately, and I’ve been heavily critical of him, but as coaches, Pochettino absolutely pisses Redknapp.
