Abdicate what responsibility? The responsibility to be polite to dickhead reporters who insist on asking shit-stirring questions?if the signing of players is a joint responsibility, between the lead scout, Director of Football. Levy and Poch, then why would Poch abdicate his responsibility to keep the fans and media updated on player movements. He is part of the management team.
He is not a physio, but I would expect him to let us know when an injured player might return.
Has Poch been slightly triggered?
My position from now for the future so you know, otherwise every time... I'm not going to talk about signing players, selling players, extending the contract of the players or not extending the contract of the players. That is going to be all through the club to update you if they want.
I'm not going to communicate or talk about that, I'm going to talk about managing the squad that we have. To make clear because in the future if you're going to ask me it'll be a little bit weird because I won't answer because I don't have the answer.

Bit harsh, it was Ally Gold and not a red top. Probably a genuine enquiry on the latest on the situation due to the timing but misjudged Poch’s mood post match.Abdicate what responsibility? The responsibility to be polite to dickhead reporters who insist on asking shit-stirring questions?
What could be clearer than this?
It's a fluent, if somewhat long-winded way to say "fuck off".
If I were Pochettino, I wouldn't be making fine distinctions between nice reporters like @Allygold and arsehole reporters from the tabloids. I'd just be telling them all politely to fuck off with the transfer questions.Bit harsh, it was Ally Gold and not a red top.

£25m for Alder is a fucking bargain, cant believe no-one came in for him. Yet that useless donkey Maguire is £80+m ? lol yeah ok.
I remember that at some point there were some news that Toby's camp had burned their bridges to almost every direction, so perhaps it's true.

To all the folks that maintain that Poch doesn't have the responsibility to keep fans updated on player movements, are you saying fans do not have a right to information about players (in particular, movements, contracts, injuries), or that it's someone else's job and if so who.
Nowadays fans expect to keep updated and responding to the media scrum, as soulless a job that often is, is just a matter of course today...
We are customers too although I still don't expect to be kept informed of every movement and machination that occurs at the club.We don't have a right to anything, we're fans not customers.

Anyone who makes a purchase from the club is a customer of the club.How?

Definitely fans but I do think that some clubs do see fans as customers too these days. In any event, I agree with your premise - the club is under no obligation to keep its fans/customers/followers or whatever abreast of every single movement that occurs behind the scenes.Football clubs don't see it that way.
Of you choose to make a purchase from the club then that's off your own back, what's separating you from someone who chooses not to purchase anything from the club...you're both still fans at the end of the day.
