Its laughable that people should be holding Poch responsible for the current mess. You could put anyone from Mourinho or Guardiola to fucking Popeye and Andy Pandy in charge of this squad and it would still be struggling to beat Leicester and Stoke. He`s been dealt a shit hand by Levy, again. Why can people not see that the only interest the current owners have in our club is their long term profit. Success on the pitch is a complete irrelevance to them. My only gripe with Poch is that he seems to be Levy`s lapdog.

I dunno. I think the jury is out on that. I do believe that Levy wants to make us into a CL club. I think he is sincere about that. I think the problem is he is clearly stubborn and has a vision for the way things should be done and won't depart from that or learn from his mistakes....and its that approach that is negatively impacting what is happening on the pitch in the short term.

I doubt there is any one person responsible. But if Poch IS involved in transfer targets and signings, why is he not playing them? And if that is the case he must expect those decision to be questioned. If not he is having signings dictated to him but then refuses to play them. That wouldn't be tolerated and is more improbable than anything else. It seems plenty of people want to quote AVB but he would say that, wouldn't he?

Transfers are done by committee. Levy has admitted as much.

The lack of managerial candidates certainly is bothersome. I was on the fence with Poch because I felt it was too risky. The reason I say Levy doesn't learn is that he doesn't seem to do his research.

Santini - Short term success with France, man of the moment. Levy - "get him in"!
Ramos - A good season with Sevilla. Levy - "get him in"! Despite the fact that he'd barely lasted a season anywhere else.
AVB - Next big thing based on one year of success in a weaker league. Levy - "get him in"!
Poch - well, you've said it all for me. Levy - "get him in"!

The two best managers we had, one got the job by chance, the other brought in specifically for a relegation fight. It speaks absolute volumes about Levy's approach to managers and I'm beginning to tire of it.

Again im not saying sack poch but quite frankly i think we made a hurried decision in signing him coz he just had a decent result for Southampton, again Southampton were in league1 few seasons back so for them top10 result might be very good but for us it was not that inspiring , and also poch did get them finish higher but his team was noway setting the ground on fire ,obviously we didnt had a choice coz we had to sack AVB and poch was available but still i still dont think poch has it in him to make us a champions league regular
 
If you could sack Levy today and hire another PL Chairmen, would you do it? If so who would it be?

I'd go with yes, and Jenkins from Swansea.

Yeah, I can't say I disagree with any of that.

I wouldn't sack Levy until the stadium is done.

As much as I hate his approach to on-field matters, I do think he is the best man to get the stadium, and all the financial deals around it, done and done well.

Once the stadium is all done, then I'd love to see him fuck off, even if it's just resigning as chairman and stepping away for someone else in ENIC to have a go.

I love how our club has turned into a play toy...'let someone else have a go'

"It's my go, let me have a turn!". Fucking hell. ENIC are the curse you're glad to have and the blessing you detest at the same time.

Yup. Ideally though ENIC would sell and someone with mega-bucks would come in. I'm tired of pretending that football isn't going that way more and more and I'd like us to be one of the big players rather than be struggling.

It's interesting that while Chelsea's initial success was meaningless because their money made winning inevitable, that recent years have legitimised success a little more because of the emergence of Man City and globalised Premier League for Utd and Woolwich meaning that such economic resources are now the norm for all the top teams in the league. I'm worried that the reasons to reject megabucks investment are melting away.

Interesting choice, horrible to say but David Dein was for me the most impressive well in his case vice chairman. Wenger was so hurt when Dien fell out with the owners he wanted to quit, Henry did.

The guy brought in Wenger to bring in more modern football tactics, worked with him to revolutionise English football in terms of diets etc, got Wenger the players he wanted mostly, as well as worked to get the stadium done. He even apparently used to meet all the players after every game.

All the arse fans would love him to come back and you can understand why. We could do worse than Levy but we could do better, obviously don't want Dein as he is an arse but not opposed to alternatives to Levy.

Exactly my point. The direction is irreversible. We are so close to cracking the top, I'd hate to see us end up as another has-been club, especially since Liverpool are still a sleeping giant, whether we like it or not.
 
Terry mcdermott was always my choice..

But this talk of sacking potch is nonsense, this club is a laughing stock as it is with the bald headed little cunt in charge.
Potch needs at least 2 seasons......but that's not to say I'm not concerned about some of the things he does. team selections, subs, etc no width......he doesn't help his own cause.

Hmmmmm... you seem to know a lot about him, don't you? :adestare::levystare:

Sacking Poch is not an option right now... FFS we've just overhauled the entire squad virtually, and made the average age of the players about 15... Poch clearly has a remit to invest in youth ...so that Levy doesn't have to invest in experience!:levyeyes:
Levy ain't gonna ditch that after a few questionable results, and an inability to hold onto a lead for more that 17 seconds!!
...but just imagine if he did? What if the next guy ends up re-re-re-signing Kaboul and Paulinho!!! :paulinhowtf:
Careful what you wish for people!!

Know the enemy, I wish for the life of me Arse had the porn barons at West Ham rather than him. I hate seeing Arse ahead of us year after year and he is part why that happens.

Not saying throw Levy away but the next sacking I would rather be Levy by Joe Lewis than Poch by Levy. Tired of us repeating the same shit each time and expecting different results.

I think Levy should be given more time. Do I fuck. The man from Stoke seems quite ambitious. Seems to put football first like. They`re punching well above their weight and spending money where necessary to improve.
