Do I notice a minor shift in your stance, with this post?
Happy birthday, by the way
Can he fix it?
Yes he can!!
At least in the 90s we knew it was the 90s.
So your argument his he should be sacked for not achieving a target, two months into a season? I can tell you that Levy won't sack him based on that. Even if he doesn't make it this season, I don't think you're argument would hold much water really.
He would have missed out on the CL for the first in five years, twice in 6 years. How many times have we missed out on the CL in 19 years? You can't just blame Poch for everything and ENIC for nothing, that's bollocks.
And bring in sinton and fox on the wings
Zero points and three hammerings.
Our boys don’t have the guts for West Ham.
The manager has killed them.
Maybe. Let's see shall we.
My argument is he should be sacked as a proactive measure after:
Losing the dressing room
Playing degenerative football for 10 months despite reaching 4th
Constantly struggling against lower half (4th division) teams
Having no direction or style of play
Not using the squad eg wasting funds
Constantly undermining the club in public
A clear prognosis that our target will not be met
Why because you say so? I don't think we will get top 4 but clearly it's not mathematically impossible as we're only 2 months into the season, so Levy will not sack him if only based on that.
Why? Because you asked me
I haven’t said based only on not top 4.
I said based on the seven reasons I gave you
I am getting really worried, we struggle to beat 10 man sothampton, we are humilated at brighton and made watford who are in poor form look good, i fear we are closer to the championship than the champions league, a super stadium half full in the second tier was not the plan, the thought of it is worrying.
Completely agree and that would make their fans season to stuff us and see us in the bottom 3
But you said "He has achieved the top 4 target which is why I’ve never claimed his appointment was wrong and that Levy should go with him. "
Now you want him sacked for other reasons and not because he hasn't achieved the target.
And we still have
Liverpool x2
Chelsea x2
West ham x2
Woolwich
Man city
Burnley away
Wolves away
All to play but we have supporters saying it is only 2 months into the season. How many wins are coming from those fixtures with the form we have been in all year and a manager who has clearly lost the dressing and is looking absolutely clueless
Now come on, we've got a good, fighting chance of grafting out a 1-1 at Burnley.
We actually struggled to beat Southampton with 10 men.
We have 22 points from the last 20 games, so yeah it is relegation form.
You would expect Levy to use some basic powers of foresight when he makes decisions. Were United right to keep Moyes in charge until it was mathematically impossible to finish top 4? Or should they have sacked him long before then and tried to save the season?
Let’s say we need 70 points for top 4. We have 12 from 9 games so we need at least another 58 from the remaining 29 games, which is roughly 19 wins, maybe a couple less if we draw a few. When you consider that we haven’t won an away game since January, I’d say it’s impossible for us to reach that target. Every aspect of the team is a mile off where it needs to be, the players are bored and tired just like the manager and everyone can see it. A new manager with genuine excitement to manage Tottenham could easily light a fire under our squad again. What do we have to lose at this point? The money it would take to sack Poch is less than we’d lose out on by fishing 10th.
Real lost again yesterday and if United sack Ole this week, I think we will see some movement. Levy is waiting as long as he can for someone to buy out Poch’s contract.

Yeah, if we can get the early goal we'll have something to hold on to...
1.1 ppg = 42 over the season, a tidy 16th place.
No worries then, with relegation out of the way that's something to build on...
