Absolutely spot on.

I love the way Levy controls the finances of the club and have total confidence in him not doing a Leeds, but if it’s true that our spending on players hasn’t been too affect by the stadium cost then we should have funds to spend.

I’m convinced that our lack of transfer activity has less to do with lack of funds but more to do with the inflexible negotiation strategy Levy employs, cutting off his nose to spite his face time after time.

That’s worrying as it probably won’t improve as revenues increase, hence Poch stating how we need to do things ‘differently’. Poor sod, must feel like banging his head against a brick wall every TW.

Poch on his role with transfers
Maybe the club need to change my title and description. My job is to coach the team.

He's clearly getting frustrated with all these transfer questions & i don't blame him because nothing is coming to fruition hence the non stop questions he's receiving

I guess it depends on your point of view as to whether you take this as barb against Levy or an evasion tactic with the press. Probably a bit of both.

Tell you what is odd, the fact that a whole bunch of posters who post the square route of fuck all bar during the window being open sure does make me wonder if people just follow football for the next big shiny thing.

Poch chewed Ally Gold out at the last presser of the Asia tour because he asked him about Toby - Poch went off on one about players, and transfers and questions pertaining to both, the bottom line then was stop asking him about transfers - if he's been asked again after asking not to be asked, perhaps you'd be fucked off too.

Doubt it excuses the lack of movement in two fairly well spoken about transfers in the press, but it doesn't always have to be a negative - it's easily spun though, ain't it?

I was a little worried after his comments on this the other day. He seems to be getting a little grated and more so now.

I do think the 'you need to ask the club' shows that he's not happy with what we are doing. I can admit that now.

I Levy has offered him a cheaper alternative to Lo Celso than that would set him off as he feels he's not being listened to.

it doesn't matter whether we save money or not. As the money saved from last summer is gone. We aren't spending that saved money freely either. Please don't start with stadium thing and also Ndombele.

see this statement will look silly if we get these last 2 deals over the line, and don't sell Toby, and Eriksen signs a new contract with the money we saved wasting.

Don’t see anything in that at all.

Part of Pochs comment about changing our mentality relates to us fans. Some fans almost seem desperate to chuck the towel in before we’ve even competitively kicked a ball. Poch is leaving, levy out. Absolute madness.

I think I’ve read too much of this thread, I need a lie down.

It can also be to change the mentality of those fans who are happy with current situation and not much ambitious to win things or atleast compete for trophies.
