I have been really impressed with Poch so far this season. He's come back to work trim and looking lighter and fitter, he's emphasising about player improvement, and he's managing games better this year than he has before. I know it's only two games, but against Fulham his formation switch second half really changed the game along with Dembele and Lamela's introduction. I think he's not just looking at how the players can improve, but how he and his coaches can improve too. Making more decisive changes earlier could win us an extra 5 or 6 points this season.

Good management against Fulham but its a bit too early to say if its a permanent improvement

Sorry, assumed he/she meant the first year we were in it, not year we qualified.
Still - won the first 4, not 5 before losing to Manure then Chavs.
Yep.
Yeah you're right. For some reason I remembered it being 5.

Would there have been a league cup game in there too maybe?
Edit: Beat Doncaster Rovers 5-1 away prior to losing to Man United.

The Guardian, a paper that’s generally very well connected with Utd, are basically mounting a daily assault on Mourinho’s legitimacy as manager. He’s gone one way or another, and I fucking pray the bastards do not get their hands on Poch. I know this sounds premature but they’ve been needling this story for the last three weeks, and while we’re only two games in, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone during or by the end of the season

If Poch did reject or was prepared to snub Real Madrid. Hopefully he'll reject Man Utd also.

Really? He practically turned down Madrid in the summer, why would he now accept the shitshow that is United? Not to mention it would cost Woodward an absolute fuck-tonne to pay Mourinho off for the rest of his contract, and you just know Levy has inserted some mega buy-out clause into Poch's. I don't see it happening personally.

I hope so. Various itk stated he wasn’t happy with Levy at the final stages of the window. Perhaps I’m being overly concerned

I don't doubt United want him. Or that Poch would maybe be interested. I just think it would cost Woodward way too much for him to make the deal. There are also a bunch of other viable options that would be available for far less hassle (Zidane, Conte, Allegri, Jardim, Benitez, Simeone...) & I just see them going that direction instead.

So is Poch the longest serving manager since Burkinshaw yet?
I think by the end of this season he will be (longer than Redknapp)

The same people who passed on Alli and Eriksen has signed their contracts?
It’s not all accurate is it.

No, not quite. This was more varied, which is why I was more concerned. If it had come from a single source I’d be more circumspect

It’s not worrying me. I’m more concerned with why the club havent managed to sell any of the players he doesn’t want yet. So that we can invest in January when our World Cup players start to look knackered as they’ve had no preseason.
