Do you think his opinions of him have taken a big hit now, knowing that it was clear we needed a DM and another CF and these 2 couldn't be brought in?
I would like to know people feelings on whether this may have negative repercussions on what happens at the end of the season if we don't achieve our objectives.

well mine's changed anyway. Ive never had a tantrum on deadline, and have always thought Levy does a great job keeping us competitive and in the black at the same time. But this is nuts. I cant believe the plan was always to sell all those midfielders and not replace at least one. Ditto for Soldado.

We have 4 CMs, one who is currently injured and a converted 22 year old CB. The other 3 CMs have less than 100 prem appearances between them. I dont care how Levy and Poch spin this, it cant be what Poch wanted.

It might be clear to you and I that we needed a DM and CM but there's no way of knowing whether Poch felt the same. He may well have agreed every single move Levy made.

Poch probably feels quite happy. No way Levy can fire him now, regardless of how shit this season is.

I was thinking the exact opposite. We've seen more than once a Manager get stiffed in the transfer window and then carry the can later that season.

Don't you bet against it mate. Unless we somehow turn around and start winning games, then I guarantee that Poch will be gone. Levy never takes the blame for his short comings.

I think they hate each other. But the hate hides a deep sexual tension that they find hard to control.

I agree with Sevens. Levy's probably already measuring Pochettino's head for the block.

Probably the same as every manager / head coach under Levy.

Trying to work out how to succeed with 2 hands tied behind his back.

may well be true, but I think he's wrong if that's the case. worryingly so.

even if they all play brilliantly, and thats a big "if", there is still the issue of injuries and 50+ games to be played.

I really cant see how we were expected to get important deals done on deadline day. Its absurd to try to do business at a club this size on the last day of the transfer window and expect to get a good deal. What was Levy thinking? Its hurt our plans, its no doubt affected Poch and its put undue pressure on him now with the same expectations yet with less players and the right ones at that.
Its a bad transfer summer, no 2 ways about it.

I'm wondering if its wise to try and get Ade back onside and give him a shirt number and send him out in the cup games. We will need more than 1 out and out striker without a doubt and not having Ade at least registered and given a squad number would be suicidal at that stage now.

I agree. Personally I think we may well finish several spots lower than we have since the season Harry took over, which will lead to the blame game. That or Poch quits.
