BREAKING: Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as Man Utd manager and in order to save time later on has also been sacked. Exit terms currently being negotiated.

[SethOfficial @UTD_Seth001]

🚨Pep Guardiola on Mauricio Pochettino:

🗣️ “There was one match against Tottenham where Mauricio Pochettino surprised me completely.

I remember it because normally, when you prepare for a team, you have an idea of what they will do.

You study the full-backs.

You study the midfield.

You study where the wingers receive the ball.

You study everything.

But that day, Mauricio changed something that I had never seen him do before.

We started the match expecting Tottenham to press us high.

Instead, they invited our centre-backs forward.

They gave us the ball.

I thought, ‘Okay, they want us to advance.’

So we advanced.

And then I realised the trap.

Every time Rodri received the ball, Harry Kane dropped into the space behind him while Christian Eriksen moved across.

Suddenly we had five City players ahead of the ball but nowhere to play forward.

We were controlling possession without controlling the game.

I looked at my assistant and said, ‘He has prepared this specifically for us.’

Then Tottenham scored.

But the goal wasn’t what impressed me.

It was what happened immediately afterwards.

I walked toward Mauricio on the touchline and said, ‘You planned this?’

He smiled.

He said, ‘You always want the ball, Pep. So I decided to give it to you.’

I said, ‘But you don’t want us to have it.’

He said, ‘Exactly.’

That was the moment I knew we were in trouble.

Because he understood something very important about Manchester City.

You cannot always beat us by pressing us.

Sometimes you beat us by making us think we are comfortable.

And that was what Tottenham were doing.

Every time we tried to speed the game up, they slowed it down.

Every time we tried to play through the middle, they closed the space.

When we went wide, they allowed the pass and immediately attacked the space behind our full-back.

It was very intelligent.

At half-time, I told the players, ‘We are not losing because they are running more than us. We are losing because they are making us play the game they want.’

That was Pochettino.

He had taken our biggest strength possession and turned it into something that could hurt us.

In the second half, I changed our structure.

We started moving Bernardo deeper and asked our full-backs to stay higher.

Mauricio saw it immediately.

He changed Tottenham again.

That’s what I respected most.

Some coaches prepare one plan and hope it works.

Mauricio was coaching the match while the match was happening.

I walked past him again and said, ‘You are changing too much.’

He laughed and said, ‘You started it.’

That is what people don’t always understand about Mauricio.

They see the emotional side.

They see him running, shouting, celebrating.

But underneath that, there is a very serious tactical coach.

He understands spaces.

He understands pressing triggers.

He understands how to manipulate the opponent.

And more importantly, he understands players.

At full-time, we drew the match, but honestly, I remember it as one of those games where you learn something.

I told Mauricio, ‘You made us uncomfortable today.’

He said, ‘That was the idea.’

I said, ‘I know.’

Then I shook his hand and told him, ‘You are a very good coach.’

Because sometimes you have to give credit.

And I don’t say that because he is my friend.

I say it because I have sat on the touchline and watched him solve problems against my team.

Pochettino is not only about intensity.

He is not only about running.

He is not only about emotion.

There is a tactician there.

A very good one.

And if you give him players who understand his ideas and allow him to build properly, he can make a team extremely difficult to play against.

That night, Tottenham didn’t beat us because they defended for their lives.

They made us question ourselves.

And for a coach, that is one of the biggest compliments you can give another coach.

Mauricio made Pep Guardiola change his plan.

And believe me, that is not something many managers can do.”

@RealJasonKidd I grew in Jersey as a Nets fan during your era. ATCQ, Too Short, EPMD. Though I don't think I'd like my kids to listen to Too Short. I cringe that I know these lyrics by heart. But ATCQ, those brothers and the jazz, I happily introduce to my kiddos.

From Claude:
The use of Rule 12d2-2(a)(3) Box 3 instead of a simple expiration box is a legally meaningful distinction. It implies the NYSE/GME are treating the warrants as transforming into something else, not simply ceasing to exist. The SEC's rules then require that the warrant delisting not become legally effective until whatever replaces them is formally listed. Whether this leads to a new security, a corporate action announcement, or simply turns out to be a technical/procedural quirk remains to be seen, but it's a legitimate regulatory signal worth watching in the days leading up to Nov 10

@hbrooks_coach coach ... have you noticed that when a shot is take against Kinsky and he makes the save, he then claps the defense, lifting them up? Vicario, who I really like, would yell and bemoan. Those vibes are making a difference.
