I think people are bring harsh on Pochettino here.
When he came to Southampton he wasn't regarded as a great manager and was derided for not speaking English. He did a very good job there as well. I don't know the exact dates sobso forgivehforgive me but hephe made players Mane?), Shaw, Rodriguez, Lambert, Lovren(?) and it's no accident many of them went on to Liverpool.
He went to Spurs and took them to a CL final and top 4 contenders. Harry Kane becomes a world class player and Dele Alli becomes a very good player. If they had cashed in on them you'd be looking at 250m plus.
He's been at clubs that quite simply aren't expected to win trophies. He wasn't backed in the transfer market and really I don't know what else he could do there. If he'd had won a cup then people would dismiss that as well! Plus he's not very old.
Given the resources he had at Spurs and Southampton and what he achieved there's every indication he will be a very good manager if backed.
Pep will leave one day and I wouldn't be unhappy with Pochettino.
yeah, maybe a bit to be fair. as i said, i don't think he'd be a bad appointment. he definitely has potential.
