It’s alright saying will go but will they actually go? We have been saying this for multiple windows yet we still have them.

I'm sorry to perhaps ask a dumb question, as I haven't been too attentive.
Is the discussion in this thread based on any info regarding the manager situation, or is it more a discussion on what if..?
Genuine question, so don't rip me to shreds.

It was said in January. Someone who doesn't agree has already replied saying they think it was Trix opinion.
That may be the case but unfortunately I don't have the time to go searching for the quote as I've got a life and a job. Im sure if you want you can find it yourself.

We’ve had itk saying Conte is leaving. Hotspur88 and I think Herc (I could be wrong on that) have both chimed in on it.
Herc also said Poch was the clear favourite to replace him.

Nah you’re ok. I know you’re wrong so I don’t need to go searching thanks. ??
Of course, but it appointing Poch will mean the fans will be off his back for a bit.
I’m not suggesting we keep him, but I thought Sanchez was reasonably solid under Poch.
It was that man management expert Mourinho that seemed to rob Sanchez of any confidence (which considering what we saw in AoN was hardly surprising).

I don’t necessarily agree with your standpoint or conclusions, but I really liked this post! It’s sober, reflective and well balanced. Tip to the hat - well done sir ?

This seems to be turning into a Conte V Poch thread which is unfortunate.
This is happening not because Conte is ill but because he has refused to commit to the club. It's fueled rumour after rumour and now it feels like the worst kept secret in football that he is gone in the summer.
You can not believe it if you want because until it's official nothing is certain but this is all on him.
If he was committed long term then yeah give him time , the pedigree he has demands it but he doesn't appear to be at all so what's the point about debating his pros and cons or trying to put down old managers to prove a point?
I love Poch so I'll be over the moon to see him back, he has faults but so does Conte and every other manager in the world.
I'd also be delighted with a Gallardo, be intrigued to see Tuchel or Enrique, be open to an Amoriom and happy to see a Gasperini.
The bigger question is the DOF one. It's blatantly obvious we won't financially compete with the top top clubs and we have major spending needed so we need a scouting network second to none unless ENIC decided to sell which I just can't see. With Paratici looking doomed sooner or later I think this is the bigger question and most important one. We need someone not only with a brilliant eye for talent ID but also who has Levy's full trust because getting that would be all the difference.

Its pretty much staring us in the face and Di Marzio, best source for Paratici & Conte, has said they look like parting ways but in summer

I think youve got to do your own research rather than demanding others do it for you

Poch coached those players to their peak, he didn’t just get lucky to have then

He was in need of a break and a change after the champions league. We have had two serial winners who people tell you are two of the greatest managers of all time and we have been largely dull lifeless and innefective. Poch got us to a champions league final ffs and two title challenges on next to no budget. Who could you see doing better than that?

And that's fine if you think that.
Everyone can read it a different way. As I've said.
But I was replying to someone who said I was wrong that it was even said. ?

No one can confirm that something will be the case in the future.

Who are the Vertonghen & Alderweireld replacements? Have we lined up with Dier, Davies, Sanchez and Tanganga this season?
You appear to see “being backed” as a one off result whereas I see it as a process.
Imo Conte has not been back sufficiently with the players he needs over the time he has been here. If he had, we wouldn’t still be utilising the defenders we’ve had from eons ago.
Very much my opinion but I can’t see any way back for Ndombele or Lo Celso. They didn’t come back under Nuno or Conte so I don’t see why they would come back under the next coach whoever that may be. Also If Conte was staying no one would be talking about him reintegrating these two next season. I’m not sure why we would assume Levy’s view on that changes if Conte leaves?
