He knows poch well, knows what he needs for his - very specific - system to function and will work closely with him. Poch has managed in the prem and knows what qualities he will require in each player for each role.
You seem to be looking for a problem where there isn't one.
Nope. I've been around long enough and seen enough false dawns to look for potential concerns before they arise that's all - considering our boards track record I don't think there's any problem with me looking at it from all possible angles including the possible negative ones - I just hope the board have considered these too. Time will tell on Mitchell, on paper it looks a good move but it's not unreasonable to express the opinion that both he and Poch may need to consider the calibre of player they're looking at seen as they're at a bigger club with bigger expectations.
I know people value positivity, we've seen it in spades every time we've signed a Sig, Soldado, Chiriches, Lamela, Baldini or AVB but the realities tell us to temper ourselves and consider all eventualities including the ones we don't like.
It's only a forum TT, I don't carry any influence luckily.
