It’s all conjecture unless your on the inside you’ll never know the truth. Poch is a good operator and on the surface will toe the company line. Despite a few distracted press events at the start of the season which may also hint at his dissatisfaction.This is Conjecture. There's been no proof that Levy broke a deal with Poch on signings. In fact there's also been ITK that states Poch refused the options so I don't think what you say is conclusive. On the contrary, Poch consistently has said how good hid relationship is with Levy. I must be the only person that thinks he'll be our manager in 5 years time.
The situation at Southampton was very different. Poch pinned his colours to the mast and said if the Director goes I go, they got right of the Director and he found the next opportunity out and left.
Did souness?
And Nicky Barmby I think...
That's the thing for me, Salah last season basically did what Kane has done consistently for the past 3 or 4 years so I don't understand why he's above him. Makes very little sense
This is the big thing that the media are failing/ignoring to address. “well he left Southampton as soon as a bigger job came along, so of course he’ll leave Spurs” The director leaving was THE reason he wanted out, we were lucky enough to be able to profit from this.The situation at Southampton was very different.

It's FIFA, of course there's an agenda. The next WC is in Qatar so they will want to market to an African audience to raise the competition and FIFA's profile in the vicinity and maximize investment from the local area. Egypt had an exceptional player but now he's one of the top five best players in the world - massive marketing opportunity.
Of course, this is just my guess, I could be completely wrong, but he looks out of place in front of Greizmann & Hazard who have shown class and consistency for several years.
It's nothing to do with fifa mate. It was a panel of ex players and journos from the guardian
Agree to a certain extent but we have a world wide fan base of 35m. Utd have 680-750m. Doesn't make them better, but they are bigger.
Interesting that both Souness and Barmby found themselves in Middlesbrough first. After that, even Liverpool didn't seem too much of a shit-hole!.
Everton fans
"This will give us an indication of where we are. The gulf between City and Liverpool is vast, the gulf between Liverpool and Chelsea is a big one as well, but, the gulf between position 3 to 6 is not too great, so...let's see how we go against the spuds."

Interesting comments regarding Walker again from City fans. I'm not posting this to reinforce any opinion that he's shit or anything, it's just intriguing to read their thoughts:
He’s so Spursy at the moment.
I remember Spurs fans used to always complain about him having one major brain fart every game that would cost a goal.
Needs a rest and get back to basic defending
Needs to be taken out of the team for a few weeks he is a complete liability at the moment and that is not a reaction from just today’s game. At least 1 brain fart a game and today, no idea what he was doing for their first and the penalty was plain stupid
The penalty is completely unexplainable for someone who has played at the top level for as long as he has. Needs dropping.
I'm struggling to remember the last time he blocked a shot or stopped a ball going in the box.
Kyle Walker and performance are rapidly becoming an oxymoron.
He’s absolutely shit for the level we aspire to be.
Delph is also poor but the difference is Delph knows his limitations so often doesn’t try anything (apart from Watford away) and gives it to the midfield, whereas that **** Walker thinks he’s fucking Roberto Carlos and tries to play like him without having an end product.
I’ve never liked Walker since he Tweeted that shit about City fans when he was at Spurs.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near this squad.
I really hate to have a pop at a City player but he has truly awful for weeks. He seems to have lost the ability to make a tackle, he is frequently caught out of position and his rushes of blood to the head seem to be happening more and more. I think he needs some time on the bench. If only Danilo wasn’t such a sick note. I wonder if Komps might be an option when fit. Now we have fixed the centre back problem we have to fix the full backs (both sides).
I agree with your point fella, but those figures are way off surely? Think you've added an extra 0. Even then, there's no way utd have almost 10% of the population supporting them.Agree to a certain extent but we have a world wide fan base of 35m. Utd have 680-750m.

City fans weren't complaining when they were winning games. Moaners come out now when it gets a little awkward.
Kyle Walker is still a very good LB.
I think he is better at RB personally.
We do miss his pace but not his mistakes. I still think he is a decent player.
