You don't know Levy then, look at Jol and Redknapp. Our form apart from the CL run has easily been a sackable offence.

I highly doubt that. All but a very few of the elite managers would love to be given this squad, stadium, training ground and live in London.
Poch, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Alderweireld all leaving at the same time will be a real task for the next manager to solve.
If it wasn't for our CL run I honestly think Poch would have been gone by now, or at least very close to leaving/getting sacked. Our league form has been so bad for ages now.

I don't think he'll hesitate for even a nano-second if his thoughts turn in that direction. Jol and Redknapp's departures show that he's comfortable pulling the trigger on popular managers, PR ramfications-be-damned.

I don’t think it will be a sacking, more like a mutual parting of the ways.

Will last a week and another big name manager will come in.

Bar Toby, they have been all useless this season to date. No great lose.

I know Levy about as well as you.
Jol and Redknapp haven't done for us what Poch has. If we sack him now it'll look like a knee-jerk reaction to the first run of bad form we've had under him. What kind of message will that send out to the next manager? We're not Real Madrid. We can't just sack a manager and get the next big name whenever we want.
I also think the a lot of the players futures are tied to his. Lloris hinted in the past that he'll go when Poch does and I think a few other big name players will join him.

"Another". Who was last the big manager to come in?

This project of Poch’s is over. Everything has gone stale. Players don’t believe, neither does he. As brutal as it sounds, we will never cross the finish line with this current set up in place.

We are bottom 3 this calendar year. This isn’t knee jerk. Any other of the big six would have replaced in the summer.

Hes not making January at this rate. Especially with Zidane already practically on the brink at Madrid.

Yeah, I can’t imagine any world-renowned clubs who sack storied managers after a bad run of form.... *cough* Real. *cough* Chelsea. *cough* PSG...
Really, I’m sure Levy’s phone would be off the hook if the hotseat became vacant.

I’d love Poch to turn things around, but honestly think performances have been poor for too long now for him to do this.
Unfortunately I think we need to get someone new in to reenergise the players and the club.
