I’d be interested in seeing Poch return just for a change in style but I dont see Conte getting sacked while we’re still 4th and challenging for it, he’d have to walk.
Of course not but let's not once again walk down that well trodden path.So what? We all just stop bothering and hoping then?
Fuck that.
Pointless bringing in a caretaker. We aren’t getting relegated and may conceivably make things worse than they already are. Especially amongst our key players who would be entitled to ask wtaf is going on. Makes zero difference if we make CL or not as has been proven also. If Conte is off in the Summer, we should already have his replacement signed up. Provisional pre-season plans, training, incomings/outgoings, etc. No chance obviously. Will faff around for weeks as per last time out.I’d prefer he didn’t return, but I’d be okay with it provided it’s after a calculated process. Getting him in now is a bandaid and failing to explore all options. If Conte was to go before the summer, I’d want a caretaker. Then in the summer take your damn time and make a decision based around a longer term project that the whole club (including the new guy) top to bottom agrees upon. One that will be stuck to through adversity and followed religiously.
I strongly think if Poch came back it would only work if pretty much every single one of his old players left. Dier, Davies, Son, Sanchez, Lloris, those on loan. Kane, Sess, and Skipp (would obviously keep) have the strongest arguments for staying, but I think Kane’s leaving anyway and Sess isn’t good enough. It is just too soon. 3 years isn’t nearly enough time, especially when he hasn’t proven himself elsewhere in the meantime or showed evidence of improvement as a manager. It’s not like he’s a level above other candidates in terms of quality. And above all, this club needs a factory reset, and Poch isn’t that.
haha it was yeah. But only because at first it was autocorrect, i realised it so left it in.Was that intentional? Well played if yes.
We forgetting him lifting his skirt up for United and Madrid whilst he was with us?
Said this before but I do think Poch is the perfect coach for shifting the players holding us down.
RIGHT NOW he knows their limitations. A new coach would need a preseason and time to convince Levy.
Poch will tell him before he takes the job. Poch needs to bery smart though to get that and not let Levy trip him up.
Options are a lot more limited getting a new permanent guy in mid-season. For example, I want De Zerbi, but that’s impossible til the summer. Mason til then + De Zerbi >>>>>>> Poch now. Short term pain for long term gain. That’s just an example. In reality I’d much prefer Conte till then then reassess. The overall point is we need to make sure we can explore every single avenue in a calculated fashion so we make the best appointment after a period of internal reflection on why we’re stuck in this stupid cycle of appointments without a plan. Maybe the club already has that plan and they’re all in agreement to commit to a certain guy now and stick with him and the plan for the long term. I highly doubt that though.Pointless bringing in a caretaker. We aren’t getting relegated and may conceivably make things worse than they already are.

Me too lol. But it’s clear that time there was a ton of panic. Lurching from Fonseca to Gattuso to Nuno wildly. In reality they should have settled down before frantically ending up at Nuno and done some serious soul searching. I think fan pressure due to a lack of manager and the panic I mentioned above after the public humiliation of the search caused them to hire Nuno hastily. I want to make it clear I have very little faith in this club to go through a calculated search successfully, and given the idiots in charge I can definitely think of worse outcomes then getting Poch now, but I can only live in hope they do the right thing and do it the right way this time. Otherwise what’s the point in supporting a club. It’s just super painful and I want this incompetence to end.Most of us are still scarred from the last managerial search.
Can you join the club as a recruitment consultant? This is what rags me off so much. This stuff is simple. If posters on a forum can see what is needed, why can’t Levy? Fucking asshat man. Levy. Not you.Me too lol. But it’s clear that time there was a ton of panic. Lurching from Fonseca to Gattuso to Nuno wildly.

Go to bed son
Doubt the DoF will be here if the sanctions against him are upheld.Huge issue with him coming back is he won't want to work with a DOF and our best transfer results recently have been from paratici
he did with PSG, why would he not here?Huge issue with him coming back is he won't want to work with a DOF and our best transfer results recently have been from paratici
