Amorim first job at Braga - he was the 3rd manager appointed that season. In Jan-Feb of season, Braga had to play Porto Benfica Sporting all twice, and he won 5 of them, drawing other in process winning League cup. I think he does well under pressure.
If I am not wrong, Klopp never looks on when his team is taking penalties. Even Great managers do have wierd mannerisms. I think we should judge only on results.

Plus Potter's on the list despite having just signed a 5-year contract with Chelsea, and Frank is on the list despite playing a passive back-5-and-lump-it system.
If/when Conte goes, and if Levy is still in charge, it will be Pochettino. If Levy isn't in charge in whatever way that happens then it's impossible to make an educated guess until we know who is.
It's all 100% meh.
But his football isnt pretty and yet again a large proportion of this fanbase are obsessed with style over glory.

Because the stadium is built now, it would be a little different this time. It wasn’t anything personal against Poch.
hahaha the stadium has changed nothing.

Poch wanted Mane. Saints wanted 35m. Levy diddled , Liverpool got him. Same window on deadline day he got Sissoko panic buy for 30m.
Its not the money , its how Levy mind thinks when it comes to transfer. Guy still only looks at player trading as accounting thing instead of paying slightly higher for a higher quality player.
Has that changed since Poch left ? I doubt it

He’s had money. We’re lead to believe that, apart from Spence, he’s sanctioned maybe driven each buy recently. I don’t get why Conte is devoid of recruitment criticism. These players are bought to play his system. How do you fit a creative player into a central 2 that will often come up against 3? You don’t. Bentancur is as creative as you can hope for.

That’s clearly not the case. Poch suffered through multiple windows with no spending. Because of the stadium. This doesn’t happen anymore.

That isn’t anything specific about Poch being set up to fail. This things have happened to every manager and also happen at other clubs.
He spent about £150m in the last window he had....

Poch wasnt backed for 2 windows is a one off that may never happen.
But fundamentally, its the player recruitment the problem for Poch. People he asked for was never given. May be 1 player a window he asked - but overall Levy failed him.
Nothing has changed in that aspect

Then never got time to use the players as Levy was able to sign his love, Mourinho

Agree. Conte keeps telling us we need patience. Instead we’re (understandably) frustrated and tearing the club down, rather than being frustrated and trusting that things don’t happen overnight.
A lot of what i heard ahead of the derby was that Arsenal are in year 3 of their cycle and things are clicking, despite being almost a joke in recent years.
If we show some patience, that can be us. Conte and the board should come out and lay the plan on the table for us, that would help, and conte should sign the contract - he’ll walk if he doesn’t like it anyway, so use the leverage to get the plan out there and then just sign the thing.
Let’s not force Conte, and frankly the players (you think Kane enjoys playing in front of us at the moment?) out of our club when it’s in it’s most fragile part of a new cycle.

Yeah, i agree with you that he wasn’t backed in that regard, but my point is that that was a different time and not a Poch specific thing. Either every manager had that, or things have changed a little now, in which case they’ll be a bit different for him if he came back. Even towards the end, you could see him being more backed with Lo Celso and Tanguay.

That would make Kane sign on the dotted line

Agree.. that’s kind of my point. He wasn’t backed through a unique period of stadium-induced austerity. But he did start to be after we came out of that. So i don’t think it was a personal non-backing of Poch that would prevent him from returning.
