So it turns out Poch was right

[Kekerinho]

He foreseen this mess we’re in when he said that we need to rebuild, the owners didn’t back our best manager in years and we ended up with cheap and shit rejects from other clubs. Imagine having to rely on the likes of Sissoko or Dier as your midfield pivot. We’re years of investment behind Liverpool and even fucking Leicester got ahead of us. Our team is painfully average. Some are below average. Just sell the fucking cunts if the offer comes in.

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

it was pretty obvious to anyone.

If he could foresee the mess why didnt he replace our players instead of buying no one for 18 months

 

[thuder]

Should have just stuck with Poch and backed him in the summer, he deserved it after everything he did for us.

 

[Darnswim]

Poch was right, just like Levy was right to sack him. This group isn't good enough, but Poch's blind trust into his players are what's cost him the job at the end.

 

[Bazali]

But Poch was also part of the problem

He gave up

Lmao yeah Poch why didn't you?

Ffs

 

[Radical Rei]

Poch isn't and never will be free of blame for his own mistakes.

You can believe that Poch was both a serial loser and that we should have had more investment.

These two opinions are not mutually exclusive.

He gave up because the squad needed a refresh, I would have backed him in the summer to rebuild but with Mourinho I’m not so confident.

 

[Reidy]

Loved Poch, but he clearly was opinionated and utimately gave up.

However getting what pretty much amounted to hush money is pretty telling

 

[superstaryid]

Poch was a God amongst men to many in here pray at the Church of Levy for higher ENIC profits

You start so well then end silly.

He worked mircales for half a decade. He wasn't backed. Don't blame him for not being able to milk even more out (at unprecedented levels).

 

[Don Giovanni]

Failure to back Poch will go down as clubs biggest mistake in the last 50 years.

that’s not his job, Poch was the manager not the board/chairman. Poch has made it clear for a while a rebuild was needed, he wanted to sell and buy.

 

[Bazali]

I wouldn’t

He had never won anything before he rocked up with us and despite inheriting an excellent squad never seriously looked like winning anything with us

Getting to the CL was his shining achievement and he destabilised the team just before it by threatening to leave
We’re well rid

Give José the players and we’ll win something

 

[Team Tanguy]

Poch isn't and never will be free of blame for his own mistakes.

That's illogical

Teams always have won more when they spend more money.

They don't obtain a winning mentality separately from the money spent. Unless you're saying it's a coincidence that success correlates with expenditure?

Poch not only didn't spend as much as rivals, he was on a pathetic shoe string budget relative to the whole damn league.

I guarantee people who say this this “serial loser” bullshit will be crying when they see Poch win multiple silverware at a club who backs him. Klopp was a serial loser too before Liverpool backed him, but he at least got to finals same as Poch did.

With Mourinho good luck rebuilding a side with limited financial capabilities

No one is winning anything at this shit house of a club but we do have the best stadium in the land. :mourbringit:

Tell that to Leicester even little old Wigan have won an FA cup more recently than us.

You seriously think in the 5 years he was here he could not have won at least something?
Even a league cup would do but no he could not.

He cries he jumps for joy he's everyones most liked manager but nobodies favourite.

It's time to leave the Poch myth behind.

How can you say he never looked like winning anything with us then next sentence say he got us to a CL final?? He hasn’t won anything before us because he is young and has always managed underdogs with limited funds.

Now the stadium is built and we should have money he deserved to rebuild this summer even if this season was a write off. Watch I guarantee he wins things in his next job.

 

[Kekerinho]

He gave up

I’m not saying he wasn’t part of the problem but he wasn’t the main part of the problem. The players are. I’m afraid we need a couple of seasons now to rebuild the team. But that’s of course questionable as the owners might not have the same plans.
