Just not good enough
Fair doos.
At what point would you say enough is enough ?whats the tipping point for you ?
I've heard other people say that he seems tired by the job as well, but I just don't know how that can be actually determined. I don't think he looks bored and his press conferences and comments piss people off so much, but he cannot really say what he actually thinks. For me, it's much more likely that he has run out of ideas or playing it ultra safe, both of which aren't great scenarios.
I don't want to be a big Poch apologist or anything since I am frustrated with him as well. But I also just feel like he's had to squeeze so much out of the lemon he was given and now we keep expecting continued magic out of him. At a certain point, a person can only do so much with what they are given.
You may be correct that a different coach with the same team may be a better option than Poch at the moment, but that is punishing Poch for the failings of Levy to support him all the windows before.
If we didn't buy Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sessegnon this summer I can't help but think that the majority of the blame would be on Levy. Based upon their injuries and limited available game time, he hasn't had them very much so not sure why he is still getting more blame than I think he deserves.
We have a solid foundation as a club. Whether ENIC can/want to take us further than where we are is a different matter, but it certainly won't be doom and gloom if this season is a failure.
Don't mention Poch and lemons

These disingenous arguments keep getting rolled out as if they hold any weight whatsoever when they simply do not.
If you want to keep making excuses for ENIC that's your choice, 12 years without a trophy is a pretty good indicator of their ambition on the pitch as far as I am concerned.
To address your point.
State of the art training facility = Promote youth, spend less money on transfers longer term whilst remaining and being comfortable with occassional champions league qualification = win for ENIC and profit.
State of the art stadium = Land acquisition whilst also bringing in bigger brand and sports like the NFL with occassional CL qualification = guaranteed money maker and another win for ENIC.
One of the highest paid managers in the world because Levy and ENIC view Poch as their golden goose, very little fuss plus has kept us in a healthy, profitable position, makes sense they would do everything to keep hold of him, again, this is financially making sense for them, ENIC.
Broke transfer budget twice = this is the most laughable one, as if it invalidates the prior windows of complete neglect and every other window where we have criminally underspent compared to rivals who are willing to break the bank to win trophies.
I mean, you can keep shilling for these owners all you want mate, that's your choice, what I am saying is, I support the club, not a bunch of greedy cunt billionaires who have no intention of winning this club trophies.
Say what you want about City and their scummy owners but what you can't accuse them of is not rewarding the supporters with success on the pitch where it fucking matters.
I don't want owners like City but that doesn't mean I should be worshipping at the alter of ENIC like some sort of cult fanboy because they aren't the same sort of scum as the City owner and people think we are doing things "the right way."
The "right way" isn't going a decade without silverware.
It won't be doom and gloom if we go from a consistent top four side to a nothing mid-table side again? Or, worst case scenario, get relegated?
I think that's pretty fucking doom and gloom mate.
You call my post disingenuous then spout this nonsense ?
90% of what you wrote is subjective garbage
If we do that for this season only, it won't. If we don't address our issues and stagnate, then yes, it might get bleak.
The point is we have the tools at our disposal to fix things.
I would say in order to fix things we need to dispose of some 'tools'.
Just read this one too.
He's gone. Just a matter of time.
What I don't understand is why we wait if it's inevitable? The longer the wait, the less chance of top 4..
Hooray!!
3 different papers running the same story.
Looks like its when not if now.
Looks like its when not if now.
Do you honestly think it can get any worse under Howe?
This season is already failure and there's plenty of gloom and doom been going on the past 6 months.
