he did fairly well at everton & was 1 of there few highlights from jan onwards.
i think in general he was seen as a success.
could still do a job for us & he gives us a different option. defensively good too.
i miss the little fella.
poch is out of order making him train with the kids (if true). very disrespectful.
notice how many people fall out with poch, yet its never poch's fault.
we will be in to double figures soon.
Notice how many people fell out with other managers? How many fell out with Sherwood? AVB? Redknapp?
Fact seems to be we have too many players falling out with managers and the manager is the one to bear the brunt, so we sack the manager, swap a load of players round have another 'transitional season' and start it all again when the same players are falling out with the manager again, rinse, repeat.
I personally am fine with the manager deciding who he wants in his team and I couldn't give a fuck if it Poch's fault that they don't like him. I'd rather Poch was "very disrespectful" to Lennon if it means keeping the respect of the rest of the team, I want my manager to be ruthless and to kick some arse when it needs kicking rather than pussyfoot around keeping players he doesn't want or like in the squad through some token gesture of respect to player who shows none in return.
Poch doesn't have the nostalgic view of Lennon most of us have, he doesn't have the memories of Lennon at full speed ripping apart a fullback time and time again, and you know what, due to increasing age, copious amounts of drugs and the fact it's been a very fucking long time, I don't have those memories either. Even if I did, I'm tired of living in the past and I'm tired of players dining out on old moments of glory. One of my favourite things about Lennon was always the anticipation of what he could have become, every close season I imagined him to have been working on his crossing and shooting, and in that next season he would finally come back as the complete winger, but he never fucking did...and that to me highlights just how much dedication and desire he really has.
So when it come down to Poch trying to put together a team of players willing to run through walls for him, I'm not surprised Poch would eliminate anyone who's attitude is more geared toward how much pussy he can get with his wad of cash and massive schlong.
