As much as we talk about ENIC and their ambition, regardless of that, when we was talking about sacking Poch, I said repeatedly we needed a rebuild, we need an overhaul of the squad and so many people were throwing paddies, sick of the idea that we would have to go through another transition because they felt they were starved of success, moaning at me for even suggesting the idea of another transition when we've won fuck all, wanted Jose in because "he wins titles wherever he goes™".
we could have built off of Poch and hired another proper project manager to elevate us and built upon the foundations of possession based attacking football where you dominate games; which the make up of our squad was suited to; that would have been a relatively small transition, probably a few seasons.
Instead ENIC decided to do, which frankly what most of you wanted to do which was apply the quick fix, we hired a manager completely unsuited to our squad, completely unsuited to building on our foundations and now we're behind even where we were when Poch started in terms of the performances of the squad. Having gone the complete opposite direction in terms of style of play so we're now going to have to turn that round again.
So I don't see how crying about the rebuild we're going to make helps now, if we'd just fucking done it in the first place we'd be 18 months into it. Instead we're years behind where we could have been.
