We'll see. But shit like that really doesn't fly with poch and he doesn't forget.

I can't see him making an exception as he values trust and integrity so much.

Having nurtured Rose and invested so much faith and energy in him to build him up, he would have found his interview even more egregious.

He might let it fly, but I can't see it.

If Poch was that pissed off about the whole situation, he would have let Rose train with the academy and we wouldn't have seen him again this season. When Davies wasn't fit, he would have shuffled the pack, played Jan at LB and left Rose out completely.
That didn't happen though, and Rose played as and when required.

Exactly. It's not like he's given Rose the Adebayor/Kaboul/Capoue treatment. He's also said that it's all been dealt with and that everything is fine and yet people still insist that there's discord.

He wants to stay, that's good news - reckon with a good pre season he can get back to the levels of last season pre injury, we missed the pace and energy and he showed glimpses of it on Sunday.

If that's true, it won't help Poch's case with the board. 25 million down the drain when he could have used KWP. In Aurier's defence, this was his first season in the PL and he had no preseason. The likes of Sissoko have no excuse and he's still getting game time.


I cant really put not knowing how to take a throw in, the rashness, cant cross, poor decision making and positional poorness all down to 'first season in the PL', but I don't know everything.

IF Poch can draw a line under it all, then providing he's going to prove his fitness, I'm all for taking the "learn from your mistakes" route, and hoping we get that tenacious little blighter that made that Left touchline his own.

Hopefully he's up for the challenge.

If I could put agree, winner, like, funny and optimistic at the same time, I would
It is absolutely crazy isn't it?
He damaged the club last year with his interview, and possibly has destroyed his career at the very top.
He is hanging on by his fingertips and then comes up with the bright idea - lets do another interview on the same subject matter.
He dug a hole for himself and is still digging.

The thing is last year he would have had advice from his agent, possibly a media relations guy too, and on top of that I dare say the Sun would have run the story past the club and they too would have advised Rose to 'clarify' parts - ie retract the controversial bits.
Maybe MP too pleaded with him, but he had his opinions and wanted them heard.
The club had to conclude the real message was he wanted to leave.
And now he wants to be heard again.

And what is he actually saying? Is it a threat to Levy? Spend big money or players like him and Kane will leave? 2 players who were allowed to develop exactly because Levy didn't just go out and splash the cash.
Is the message to pay him what he is worth when he has been out injured for the best part of 2 seasons?
Or is he manoeuvring for a move again? There must be easier ways!

I'd like him to stay, as when he is fit, then he is always one of our best players. But he is a loose cannon and it puts MP in a difficult position.

I hope he stays. I don't mind his reasoning in wanting to stay now, I would move to a better payed job if I could, plus fans hated him couple of years ago and wanted to get rid of him.
