Calm down guys, Poch has only spoken the truth. If Dier wants to get upset about it he can go.
He's an adult not a baby.

That's where the money comes in.Considered all of this (and they are fair points); still doesn't feel right one bit. Not to me, anyway.
Just weird, weird timing. Just doesn't seem necessary or required at all.
Nah. If anything it's a vanity project / a way to message to players, academy players and future players.That's where the money comes in.
The same one's who continually questions Poch's tactics and team selctions eh?
He's slowly seeing the light...

Poch admits to BC "knowing better" than Mourinho about Dier's best position, contrary to the Lemming mantra.
By Mauricio Pochettino For The Mail On Sunday
- Mauricio Pochettino was worried when he saw BC critiquing Eric Dier's midfield performances
- Dier and Mourinho conversed in Portuguese at Old Trafford in December 2016
- Pochettino and Dier spent four hours discussing it and came to the conclusion BC was right.

I agree with most of this, but then why do it at all?
Not really feeling the need to wet the bed on this one so far. Not always a fan of washing dirty linen in public but there is also too much secrecy and PR managed bullshit in football. You can only judge case by case, what's said, how it's said, the intent and effects etc. and I'm not really feeling apoplectic about this little revelation, it was already common knowledge that UTD were interested in Dier. I'm on record many times as being baffled by the fuss made over "tapping up" as everyone does it, it's logical when so much money and upheaval is involved that players would be sounded out by prospective buying clubs, it's impossible to stop, and I think if you de-regulated it it would be much less of an issue and cause players and clubs less ball ache.
All Poch is doing here is addressing an issue that was already in the public domain, he's not gone OTT or slagged off the player, he's just tried to demonstrate how he dealt with it and tried to resolve it positively.
As for the timing, this isn't in our control I would imagine, would prefer it wasn't released mid season, but I would imagine this is the most headline grabbing stuff, being dropped to help sales in a few days, if so, hardly catastrophic.
Lets see what the rest of the book says eh ?
Those getting their knickers in a twist should remember that Fergie released about 6 or 7 biographies while United manager.
Nah. If anything it's a vanity project / a way to message to players, academy players and future players.
I just think it's very ill advised.
This carries a different tone due to the way it's been done.But TT, every time we get one of those warm and fuzzy insights into Poch's wonderful man management you're all for it. This is pretty much just another case of that, with a little dig at Mourinho and Utd for tapping up and marking players cards that they've got to careful too, no ?
This carries a different tone due to the way it's been done.
I accept others aren't bothered by it, but it just doesn't sit right/comfortably with me.
Timing is also atrocious.
Strange...DM must have removed the piece about Filip Lesniak
