If there is one thing you seem to have failed to learn about Poch - he is a very clever manipulator of the press, and I'm not talking about the football tactic.
Thanks teacher but as it goes I'm not talking about whether he can or can't manipulate the press, I'm talking about saying one thing publicly that Levy will hear/read and then going against that completely by walking into Levy's office and saying the exact opposite. I don't think he's that kind of a man and I don't believe that Levy would appreciate it.
Imagine if it came out that Poch ended up leaving cos Levy wouldn't pay him what he wanted. I think it would massively tarnish fans' view of Poch after he had said that he will not demand a new contract. I would personally lose a lot of respect and in my opinion Poch is the kind of man that leads by example. This would not be the kind of example to set anyone and it would reflect the intentions of a man driven by money as opposed to be actually achieving something great.
