As mentioned above, you're talking rubbish! I did not say replace Poch with Ancelotti.
Do I want Poch gone? Yes.
If he went in the summer I wouldnt shed a tear, so long as he's replaced with someone better. Ancelotti is not better than Poch imho. And that cos theres many reports that have said, Ancelotti is too hands off in training and is not a very disciplined manager the last 5 years or so.
What I would like is someone ruthless like Simeone or Conte to replace Poch. Those are the names I mentioned. Not Ancelotti!!!
If Poch stays next season - which I reckon most likely he will, - then its no less than I expect from DL.He's gotten too friendly with Poch to sack him after what Poch has done so far, and thats normal, however, I feel its going to hurt us if he allows Poch to outstay his welcome if we dont win a trophy or get top 4 by the end of the first season in NWHL.
That is my preference - to give Poch 1 year after we move into NWHL to get us top 4 or a trophy or sack him if he fails to deliver.
But if Conte or Simeone were available before then I would absolutely replace Poch with either in a heartbeat without any hesitation.
The problem with you lot is that you're all too whimsical and soft. You cant bear to sack a manager who you feel has progressed your club - even if it means you will never win a trophy. If you all carry on, We will end up like the scum where getting top 4 is basically like a trophy to you lot!!! Its not!! Get you head out of your arses and realise that we'll never be Utd, City or Chelsea stature until we win the league title.
Top 4 is only a starting point. Poch got us there but he's too crap of a manager to get us a title and since you all are too sentimental and blind to it, some of us with more realism need to slap you all upside the head every few weeks to remind you how shit we still are as a club to know we'll never win a title unless we get a better manager.
