Hard to know exactly who and what Poch wants but it is clear that he wants the team to become the priority fully accepting that in his time to date the stadium had to be the number one priority for the club. Does he want more say in transfers? Does he want more effort made to get the players he really, really wants? Or is it a case of wanting to clear out players so that he can re-build even if we lose some money on them?
Maybe it's a combination of these but I don't know. My guess is that he now wants to compete for the Premier League and is saying that that will take an extra level of risk (or courage if you prefer) in terms of the transfer market. If the club are not prepared to do that then maybe he feels he should get out while he is ahead, while his stock is high as he has taken the club as far as possible without changes. Taking some time out has not hurt Pep or Zidane.
Anyway just speculating out loud here
