Fair enough. Writings on the wall. I still personally think what he said was not particularly wrong. Clearly our players are paid materially below what other top players are getting. And clearly our transfer window whilst decent could have been a lot better in terms of adding a bit more attacking guile - and I don't think he was completely alone there
That said how he said it, when he said and to whom as well as his dig at the fans all came across as dreadfully bad and ruined all the goodwill he had built up
But Poch has talked about second chances, people making mistakes and reacting to injury badly etc which I do also think is true. People make mistakes - clearly I have no idea if bridges have been built since this happened
But Would hope for pragmatic reasons alone he is integrated back and given another chance as was becoming a fantastic player pre injury
Everyone gives all the players Fergie fell out with and sold as examples but Rooney disrespected Utd and stayed for a long time after as was clear there was more value in keeping him - for me I see the same with Rose
You are assuming the interview pre season was an isolated incident, from what I hear it's not.
