Times, Mail and Telegraph... either they're all bored and making shit up, or something's happened behind the scenes.
I do wonder if it might have something to do with Harry Kane. I know he's not the sort to rock the boat, but perhaps he's returned from international duty and has made clear that if we continue on the current path with the current manager, he'd like permission to leave in the summer. And who would blame him?
As for timing... yes... very, very odd thing to do. You would've thought the decision could have, or should have been made last week. So, what changed? Did Poch demand Levy splash the cash in January and get rid of the deadwood, but Levy wouldn't commit?
Or, maybe it's all been about negotiating a separation and a new relationship. EG: Poch wants to go to Bayern. Spurs maybe want Maureen. And they've been negotiating in the background for a manager who has a long track record of winning trophies... as that's the only type of manager I could see Harry staying for. As much as many on here may despise Maureen, I'd imagine the players would be pleased to have him there. A proven winner.
Who knows?
Despite those reports, it seems highly unlikely he'll be going anywhere prior to the West Ham game. And should we lose to West Ham and he gets fired... well, that makes us look like right idiots. Why would one game make a difference? So, I sorta doubt that too. My guess is Levy would stick with Poch, unless there is a full on player revolt, or we are being dragged into a relegation ding-dong.
The times now also reporting it on their back page for tomorrow. 3 sources in total now, right? There's definitely a lot of smoke. Slightly bricking it, as even though I had basically come to the realization that Poch needed to go, I still had some sort of underlying conviction that he'd pull through and produce results. I love the man, I really do.
We've mid November, that's not more than enough time. If it's clear his head and heart aren't in the job still then get read yes, but otherwise should be given more time, especially given a lot of problems are down to Levy.Maybe Levy has noticed how well a lot of our players have done on international duty compared to their league form.
Poch has been given more than enough time to turn it around, so we can’t be accused of not being loyal but most of this season has been atrocious
