I agree that none of this looks good for Baldini and we should get rid. But I'd also suggest we need to have a structure in place that reports to Poch, rather than 'above' Poch. Baldini and his position are increasingly indefensible.
I don't know if I agree with that, Poch is employed as the head coach and should fit the structure and be a good fit in terms of style of play, operating along the same lines as the club ideals (young players, use of academy etc). Then when he inevitably leaves the structure is still in place to cope with a change of manager and there are plans in place to identify the correct next choice. See Swansea and Southampton as clubs who do this well.
The problem is that we don't have the structure in place, and seem to tear things up and start again depending on who the manager is. We had AVB choosing the DOF for example, which shouldn't be the case!
A competent DOF who will look after the whole club and we get away from the idea that all they do is buy players would be a start.
