Teams were more closely matched financially back in the late 80's and early 90's

Long times since I’ve posted but totally agree with OP something isn’t right at our club
Is it that the players have seen through some of Pochs training or tactics or there too much player power
Either way not being knee jerk feel like we are coming to a end of something and maybe that’s the manager or not
Been supporting this club since 1969 been through the great and the dire but something don’t feel right
Sadly

Agree and its not knee jerk to think that, with what we've seen so far, it's stick or twist with Poch. Definitely the end of something.
Literally limitless spending on one side, Daniel Levy on the other...
Yeah, I'll bet Pep would run- not walk- to N17 and plead with Lewis, Levy and co. to let him have a crack at Jack Clark, Kyle Walker-Peters, Eric Dier, etc...In fact, I'll bet he stays up nights fantasizing about the chance to coach Tottenham; after all, it's a natural progression to go from Messi's Barca to Aguero, Sterling and KDB's City and finally to the pinnacle of world football: us.
Poor guy...

I really feel like a lot of this is being blown out of proportion, I think honestly a lot of the reason for the overreaction is the anxiety caused by a few leaks of information in that beginning of the end thread which were pretty much blown out the water by the club and Poch. Without those posts I don't think people would be jumping to such conclusions I think they've exacerbated the worry on this forum.
Yeah thinks aren't perfect but it's so out of proportion with yesterdays game. I'm not sure what some of you were expecting, the draw looked nailed on for me before the travelling squad was even announced, it's a hostile away game vs a fairly decent team in europe, most english teams struggle in these situations. Could we have done better not to blow a 2-0 lead, absolutely, does the blame lay with Poch because of his choice of fullbacks and also his failing to sub players off having a terrible game, absolutely but that doesn't justify the sheer panic in this forum after that result, the reaction isn't equal to the result.

If you’d picked on Klopp, you’d have had a better argument. Citeh don’t have unlimited funds anymore, and Danny can match any salary they can offer Pep.
Klopp probably wouldn’t leave ‘pool right now because he’s bought into a dream there, not because it’s easy and he’s getting paid loads. But I reckon it would still give him pause.

So did Fergie and so has clop. Although I suspect both him and Guardiola stole it from old whiskey face.
I agree though to a degree.

Come on guys, yes there has been some questionable decisions by Poch, especially last night. Eriksen should have come off, Sanchez shouldn’t have been RB.
But we got a point away in Greece, a very hostile place to go, I know we let a 2 goal lead away again, but most of us would have taken a point before the game.
We are 3rd in the league whilst not playing great, we have injured players to come back, and we have played 2 x tough away games already.
I understand some concern but let’s try and wait until he has the team he wants out before we start to really question his position

With you on certain points and yeah would have taken a point before kick off but don’t think it helps team morale with pochs comments not following team plans
Are the players thick No
Are they immature NO
Just feels like cracks appearing
Hopefully Poch can get the polyfiller on the go and put it all back together

He's interviews for the past six months have a big bearing on things. Telling journalists he may have left if they won the champions league ffs. What was that about. U can't expect players to stick around if the manager is spouting that nonsense. It's clear that the team spirit they had is gone. Something will have to give. It doesn't seem a happy camp. Even loris saying he was surprised the amount of players that wanted to leave. And the Danny rose scenario is just bizarre. They have a lot of talent in the squad so they will win plenty games but I think it's inevitable that they will fall further away from the top teams.

To be honest he spent his entire book questioning their intensity levels from game to game, questioning whether they had the capability to consistently keep it up and claimed that was the difference between us the people who win things, It's not something new so I question why people are so shocked and shaken he's come out with it yet again. If anything he's correct to escalate his frustration about it as before we were a young team, not so now.

The falling away started last season miles adrift of the top two then completely gave up on third just hanging on by our fingertips.
I think you maybe right in that the team spirit which was central to what we were trying to do has gone, leaving us with a shell of what we had along with a disfunctional and weak team.

Poch would leave for RM now if it happened. The thing is I think och would be fired six months to a year - he likes projects and process, RM want instant success and flair etc.
Id bring in Favre as I mentioned previously but I have a feeling we would go for Howe arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways its all ifs and buts
