Pochettino is genuinely one of the most overrated managers football has ever produced.
How has someone with this managerial CV managed to convince so many people that he's an elite coach?
❌ Espanyol — Sacked with the club struggling near the bottom of La Liga.
❌ Southampton — No trophies.
❌ Tottenham — Five years, ZERO trophies. Lost the Champions League final and eventually got sacked.
❌ PSG — Lost the Ligue 1 title to Lille, failed to win the Champions League and eventually left despite winning domestic trophies.
❌ Chelsea — Finished 6th, lost the Carabao Cup final and departed after just one season.
Over 15 years in management and still no trophy in English football.
At what point do we start questioning the reputation rather than celebrating it?

Carrick’s two substitutions saved that game and also provided a very clear example of how badly Carrick was let down in the summer regardless of what you think of him. If Dalot stays on the field then Utd lose that game, he would never have been able to cross that ball with his left foot in to Zirkzee the way Dorgu could and the fact Utd had an actual striker on the field meant there was someone actually in the box to get on the end of it. The decision to not sign a left back is not defensible and rarely can you scale the impact of that decision as clearly as this one.

Jim Ratcliffe has killed Manchester United.
He gave the Glazers a lifeline by buying just 29% of the club, and his football decisions have been nothing short of clueless. He only cares about saving money…

🚨 Kaveh Solhekol absolutely tore into Sir Jim Ratcliffe live on Sky Sports on Monday:
And I couldn't agree with him more. Every single word. 👏
🗣️ "I'm going to tell you who's to blame for this situation at the moment. The person to blame is Jim Ratcliffe.
"He bought the club almost three years ago. He bought 29% of it when the Glazer family put the club up for sale. He didn't buy the whole club, he only bought 29%. And by buying 29%, it meant that the Glazers stayed in place and Jim Ratcliffe got to run the football operations.
"He's come in and said, 'I know better than anyone else how to run this club. We're going to do things my way.' And look what it's turned out to be over the past two and a half years.
"First of all, he said, 'I'm going to back Erik ten Hag. We've been chopping and changing managers too much.' Then he went off and started meeting Thomas Tuchel and any other manager who was available behind Erik ten Hag's back.
"When they couldn't find somebody else, they gave Ten Hag a new contract and money to spend. A couple of games later, Ten Hag loses his job.
"In the middle of the season, they beg Ruben Amorim to come to United. He doesn't even want to go there in the middle of the season. He wants to wait until the summer. They pay a fortune to get him, even though he plays three at the back, a totally different kind of football.
"Dan Ashworth doesn't want him. Dan Ashworth leaves, Ruben Amorim comes in, and they go all in on Ruben Amorim. That doesn't work out. They get rid of him.
"They bring in Carrick as an interim. Okay, results are better. Then they give him the full-time job.
"In the meantime, Ratcliffe has come in and said, 'We're going to do things my way. No player is going to get paid £250,000 or £300,000 a week here anymore. That's not going to happen. We're not going to sign any players for more than £60M or £70M.'
"So Mateus Fernandes, Elliot Anderson, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, all these players, we aren't going to be signing them.
"And also, we're only going to be signing players with Premier League experience. We're going to sign forwards one window, then the following summer we're just going to sign midfielders, then next summer we're just going to sign defenders.
"So this is Jim Ratcliffe's way of doing things. He is to blame for this situation." 👏👏👏
RATcliff’s chronies
Yhe club is considerably worse since @INEOS came in
Fuck Jim, Fuck Berrada and Fuck Wilcox

If you believe GHL here you are part of the problem. The DA dropping to sub 50% will be a great thing. It will force them into coalition with the FF+ and the FF+ can then use this leverage to stop the DA's insane redistribution policies and their animal licences and their selling off of city land to fund their insane budgets.
What the DA effectively wants to protect is their grip on sole power in the city of Cape Town so they can continue their anti growth policies that have led to a lack of new houses being built and an affordability crises that is entirely avoidable if you actually allowed people to build and develop properties without having to beg daddy government for permissions that constantly seem to change.
Spot on
At least a smaller party can keep them accountable in a coalition
Service delivery is 💯
Policies and ideology 🤮
Instead of asking how the hell it's possible that you are polling at 51% in your longest-held metro, you want to scare people into voting for you.
Let me help you with why you are polling at 51%:
- You turned your back on your traditional voters
- You are taxing the middle and upper class to death
- You are implementing ANC policies in the GNU
- You are trying to be everything for everyone
- You belittled and insulted conservative voters
Perhaps it's good that you fall under 51% so that a coalition can be formed between you and the Freedom Front Plus. We will ensure that insane policy proposals straight out of the WEF and UN playbooks never see the light of day.
Vote @VFPlus on the 4th of November.
