Had to do some digging now that everything suggests we will offer Pochettino the job. Had not paid attention to him at PSG but he was considered a failure there and worse than any of the three managers that preceded him. Stats back that up as well with his side scoring the least amount of goals, conceding the most and winning fewer games than any of Blanc, Emery and Tuchel.

Articles like this one is a huge red flag for me as well and reading it, it reminds of what we have endured this season.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/paris-saint-germain--frapsg/story/4541054/psg-under-mauricio-pochettino-are-a-team-of-individualsnot-a-side-thats-playing-like-champions

Pochettino has been at the club for a year, and the team is struggling to cohere. They cannot beat a press or build from the back. They have no circuits of passing. There is not enough movement; no triangles, no overlaps. The consensus within the dressing room is that Pochettino is great at the man-management aspect of the job and the players like him, but many feel like he is too limited tactically or at least that they are not working hard enough on their tactics. It could be a reason why there hasn't been sufficient improvement as a collective.

There's been little direction, no fluidity, no patterns of play and more seriously, no plan. On Saturday against Lens, a team that always plays the same way in a 3-4-2-1 formation, Pochettino changed his tactical system five times throughout the 90 minutes. He kept tweaking and changing so much that Marco Verratti played six different positions around midfield.

 

This is a bit controversial but I do think signing Messi and having to build the team around him made PSG worse, he's nowhere near the player he was, and he doesn't suit Pochettino's pressing game at all.

 

PSG have been poor this season as well, which only adds to that

Lets hope the mystery candidate is somebody exceptional.  Ancelotti coming home would be great - it would be nice to have a grown up at the club. Someone who has authority and yet is not a bully.

other than Carlo? Mystery candidate time. . . Zidanne? Allegri? Joachim Low?

First time I see someone that doesn't write the name Zidane correctly.

Fun fact about Pochettino he was the first manager to beat Pep Guardiola in the Premier League. Pep was actually on course to break the Premier League manager record for most opening wins in a campaign as he was 6 wins and no loses, winning the 7th would have gave him the record outright.

Instead he lost to Pochettino's Spurs 2-0. Interestingly in that season Pochettino and Spurs became the only coach and team to finish above Pep and his team and not win the league. 

🚨What we know currently:

Pochettino has made it through to the 3rd round of talks. He's discussed a timeframe to take over if successful, spoke about the members of staff he would be bringing with him. Supposedly discussed the players he wants to work with within the current squad.

Some comments. Jesus wept. 
 

Blame ownership for making quick and hasty decisions without understanding football. 
 

Now blaming ownership for employing football people to conduct a thorough managerial search to make sure we get it right. 
 

We really are the most toxic fan base. Deserve everything we get.

Lol....this is hilarious. Just 48 hours ago we were reportedly going in full force and selling "the project" to Naglesmann and he was dreaming about the prospect. Now suddenly he was never choice No.1 and Pochettino was ahead of him. What are they going to say when Pochettino says no ? These people haven't got a clue and are making things up at every turn.

Just goes to show don't believe the reporters.....

yep - many seem to stamp their feet and shout first, and think second. 

It's not new. But mostly new money fans who throw their toys out at the first genuine prolonged wobble for years

Pochettino is a safe if unspectacular option. Will improve our young players, get the team fit and is solid tactially. If he can get us top 4 for the next 2 years whilst developing our prospects we will be in a much better position than we are now, even if he doesn't turn out to be the next long term coach for us.

The issue is after doing all due diligence the shortlist has Pochettino, Kompany and Postecoglou as the 3 men running for the job.

Everyone here looks like a very questionable choice which can turn out to be risky.

I don’t get why people are asking for Jose. We all know it’s going to be shorter term with Jose before we repeat the whole cycle again. Why not get it right and tame a gamble instead of going full circle to Jose. Again. Yes again for the third time! 
 

just hire Pep already. There isn’ta more successful coach whichever way you see it.

Pochettino is far and away the outstanding candidate now that Nagelsmann has walked away from the process. In fact, Pochettino was my preferred candidate even whilst Nagelsmann was still in the running.

He took Southampton whilst they were perennial relegation battlers and built them into a very solid top half of the table team. He then took Tottenham from being Europa League regulars to qualifying for the Champions League 4 seasons in a row - even finishing as runners up in both the league and Champions League.

People say that it didn't work out for him at the circus that is PSG, although the fact remains that he still won the league title there and was only a very late Benzema miracle away from knocking Real Madrid out of the Champions League.

He will bring both domestic and European experience, tactical nous, energy, discipline, a (reasonably) attractive style of football and develop our young players. Outside of Klopp and Guardiola, he is the best man we could hire as our manager. We're actually lucky that he's available.

Ah com'on Argo. You can't tell me you wouldn't want to get hold of Havertz or Ziyech around the throat and hold them against the dressing room wall sometimes?

It's OK. It builds character.

I know the perfect man for the job - Dominic Raab.

As stupid as this might sound I kinda feel Ange Postecoglou. He's more a Pep/ De Zerbi interms of his style of play and has personality of Jose Mourinho. 

Might be a very risky move 

His Celtic side have 103 goals in 33 games, and have only dropped 7 points all season, even by their standards that's pretty impressive
