The problem with that as I see it is that "this season's mess" is laregly of his own making, going all the way back to his comments in the run up to the CL final and then his talk of a complete overhaul that didn't need doing.
If the board are on the same page as him then we might as well sell Kane and Son next summer and go back to square one. The two c.£60m signings made to fix the only glaring weakness in the squad rather suggest that they were more interested in taking the next/final step this season though.
Poch works with the players everyday on the training ground plus matchdays, as our coach it will be down to him to decide who he wants.
Poch made it very clear that he wanted a clear out for reasons he hasn't made public.A painful one was his quote.
Looking at the performances of the players that were rumoured to be on his clear out list and are still here, then Poch was right wanting a complete overhaul, Rose Eriksen,Aurier, have been complete pants ,even Jan and Toby have been way off , these are those players.
Levy is in charge of getting them out , and thus getting in repalcements, he failed, so who is really to blame is upfor discussion.
However , i do agree Poch has since made loads of errors in selections and tactics.
