I cannot see anyone other than Jose coming in if Levy pulls the trigger mid season. The Howe's etc would be an end of season job.

I just cant fathom Levy bringing somebody 'unproven' with so much at risk.

well try cheering up, and be more positive. you must have been on holiday last Saturday.

why you're trying, put some thought into why we struggled from January. unless your an athlete and know the strains of what was happening and don't believe players can get tired after 111+ fixtures, not including internationals as well and having just a 2 week break in all that time.

If people want Pochettino out then Perhaps a complete reboot from top to bottom is required while we’re at it. New owners and manager :cautious:

:nailbiting:
Not against it, go find a buyer with the couple or so Billion to buy the club and we're set to go. I mean if people want Jose, then there must be some dirty money burning a hole large enough in some unscrupulous person(s) wallet.

Cheers, if you could try to be a bit more patronising next time?

Simeone or tuchel are my picks if poch goes. Unrealistic probably but the sort we should be after
Simeone would be the ideal man for me. He's nuts, but never seems to loose his players like Jose, and he's loyal also his tactics would be perfect for a team that can't compete financially with City, Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea. Yes, I'm well aware the AM spend a large amount of money, but not in comparison to Barca and RM and they scout very well. He's also very good at working with youngsters. Personally I think he would be excellent for us.

our defence would be sorted too. He takes no sh*t from players either. Eriksen Wouldn't be playing if he was here.

Levy would never appoint a character as strong as Simeone

One transfer window and things would blow up

That did’nt help, but the new stadium and our transfer business this summer should have been more than enough to re energise the club and get back more than the momentum we lost.
2 out of 3 injuries really haven't helped there as far as changing the team now

We had young impressionable players. But what does Poch really have left to promise them? Perform to the limits of your ability, beyond everyone’s expectations, again, and you might not win, again. They’re all established stars by now so there’s not that. And even if all Poch’s character building stuff is 0% pop psychology, they’ve had five years of it. So why not gratefully take what they’ve internalised and move on to a fresh challenge?

Tuchel would be great but why leave PSG at this point? It seems the tables have turned and the owners are on his side and not on, say, Neymar.

Exactly, his team is built on an incredibly solid back line. I know he doesn't always play "sexy" football, but as mentioned, we don't have the money to compete with the others so we need a manger who knows how to balance everything. Obvs choice for me, if we loose Poch.

And thanks for not pointing out the auto correct of Someone/Simeone. (y)

not patronising at all, I knew after the WC had finished we would suffer burnout. it happened a little quicker than I expected, which I put down to the injuries we had.

we haven't had the chance to field our strongest XI in 2019, our transfers haven't all played a part yet.

Agree with everything but I’m not convinced he’d want to come to us
