Think it's all a load of nonsense personally. If he wanted the Madrid job why didn't he wait until after the Champions League final to sign a new contract? Zidane would almost certainly have been given his marching orders if he'd lost.
I think the interesting part Tommy is where is where it is claimed that the club and Poch have an informal agreement about him being RM's manager. I don't think there was much expectation of Zidane leaving when he did, this has happened very suddenly. I suppose it's up to Poch to dismiss it out of hand because if he doesn't the Spanish media, will toy with your club the way they have with us recently.
Cheers. Have seen elsewhere that Ben Pearce, another Spurs-related journalist say he doesn't think there's a release clause or a verbal agreement but you never know. Pochettino doesn't strike me as the type to jump ship a few days after signing a new contract, but it certainly makes you wonder.
Normally I would agree about Poch being loyal, but as I said above it will be up to him to dismiss this story quickly otherwise we both know the pressure the Spanish can bring in these situations. There are still a number of managers available too, it's a really interesting situation.
