Sorry for sharing this……………not looking good for Poch. From Coys.

Good. I want to see the club have a real thorough plan.

It's very very easy to react and bite the bullet but you are not making a rational decision. Especially if everything else isnt in place.

For a start, our DOF looks like he'll be gone soon. We will 1000% need another.

Hire Poch, only for that DOF to not like the way Poch works and then you encounter further problems later.

The DOF needs to be resolved and then he makes the choices as he's the one who will be getting the players, deciding strategy etc.

Just got to hope its a DOF who is more progressive and appreciates attacking football.

I don't care about salvaging this season. It's done.

Need to look further ahead.

Just watched Benfica and Schmidt really has been a revelation there.

My concern with him is that his third season goes awry but maybe he's growing.

But I am adding him to my list;

Gallardo
De Zerbi
Amorim
Schmidt
Poch

This will sound absolutely ridiculous and still does as I type it but we could do a lot worse than get ragnik to oversea this rebuild and let him take over the footballing decisions. He spoke very well at his time at United and knows his shit

Media would ridicule as he is seen as a flop at United. But he was only a flop because United didn't listen to him

Get him in as interim before the weekend and let him assess everything then hire the manager

I agree we need a DOF who wants to play front-foot and possession-based football. I’m not sure that’ll happen before we re-hire Poch or appoint someone else though. Levy won’t let this drift to the extent that the atmosphere turns toxic.

Not ridiculous at all he’d be ideal as our DofF. And hire one of his many gegenpressing managers

Yeah I’ve been seeing this on here. It’s a complete fallacy. He’d be a great option.
His Chelsea side weren’t that exciting but yea everywhere else he’s been he’s played really nice football.

Not my 1st choice but he’d be more exciting and better than Jose and conte were.

As long as we manage to appoint one who isn’t blatantly a criminal, I’ll be happy.

No chance we do that though. Not the way we operate. It’s all seat of your pants and short term thinking.

The verdict is anytime this month so dont really see any action unless conte walks.

You can add Sissoko and Aurier to that list also. who we effectively had to give away to get off the payroll. In Conte & Jose' defense, they were tasked with getting something out of these lads or move them on for a fee similar to what we paid in order to have the funds to re-invest. Whoever the next manager is will likely be saddled with the same burden.
He didn’t want Sissoko. Abundantly clear from his book. And probably a big reason why he got so stubborn over transfers in subsequent windows, ie, if you can’t/won’t get who I want then don’t get me someone just to make do.

No chance Levy sacks him and pays the £15m mooted when he can be let go for free in 2 months.

Unless it's been said I think the payout would be till June. Even Conte said he has a contract till June so it will be around 4mil to sack him

Is this just about Poch?
Or anyone in general?
So Conte not close to going?

Levy supposedly not on the ropes 😂😂
