Fully agree with this, I also like the fact that Poch has no agent, I'd imagine Levy quite likes that too.

I would prefer that all parties were happy with delaying anything that can draw attention away from results. Summer is the only obvious time to renegotiate.

He has a 5 year deal, so there really isn't any need for him to sign a new deal. Also I would wait till the end of the season whether we should give him a new deal or not.
Personally I don't think he will see out his contract as its not really a Spanish thing to stay at a club for 5 years but who knows(I know he isnt spanish but he has heavily been influenced by la liga and south american tactics are a part of the spanish style nowadays anyway)

The only real reason to give him a new deal now would be to ward off United if and when LVG gets the chop.
But I genuinely don't think Poch would leave us for them, and I don't think they are savvy enough to have him on their radar anyway.
Let's see where we are at the end of the season and discuss a new deal then.

I'm not sure about your 2nd point. Poch often speaks about long term stuff at Spurs and he strikes me as the sort who is quite loyal and would like to be here for a long time as with a lot of the infrastructure he puts in place will take a good few years to see the results properly.
I'm not convinced he would have even left Southampton if Cortese hadn't left.

Meh, deal schmeal.
We hit a proper bad patch or don't hit the ground running next season and most of you lot will be calling for his head and telling anyone who'll listen what a **** he is and possibly even how you never thought he was the right man for the job anyway.

I don't know, normally managers in la liga who play his style tend to leave after 3 or 4 seasons. Pep himself said that his players stopped responding to a high pressing style after 3 or 4 years. For Poch to stay I think he would have to reinvent himself
TBF its only the Dof system that poch has changed, that I think of, the academy has arguably got worse

Everything he has said would contradict this, I know, i know who to believe but I genuinely thinkPoch wants to build something and sees us as the pefect club to do that. New stadium, top class academy and training facilities and a chairman who so far seems to be giving him what he wants. While the lure of a big club would certainly be hard for him to resist, would Madrid for example be happy with no big name signings and work rate and playing as a team valued higher than individual performances? From his short time with us its pretty clear that Poch doesnt give a fuck about the stature of name of the back of the shirt, only the perfomance thats put in on the pitch.
He is only a year and a half in, im pretty sure he is on a decent wage as thats one thing Levy doesn't seem to skimp on, plus Poch doesn't seem like a guy who would be shy on knocking Levy's door.

I think the two of them are a match made in heaven. What chairman wouldnt like a manager that plays the youth teamers rather than demanding money. In return, Levy will give him time and stability, unlike Chelsea, Madrid or Man Utd.

It is ultimately about results, also for Levy. In a season like this, with 3 major clubs failing to various extents, I would expect Levy to have more adamant expectations than before as far as results go. Poch has to navigate to a CL spot at this point, no less. IMO.

I think Poch himself knows this too, would never say it to the media, I am pretty confident he will deliver.

If there is a new deal it'll happen in the summer. Both sides will want no distractions at the moment.

I'm sure Poch has said he wants to lead his team out at the new stadium when it's finished so that's at least another 2 years.
I'm sure Levy and he will chat and contracts will come up but I would only start to worry after we get into the NWHL.

Go back to the 4th game of this season when we hadn't won yet and you see how skeptical some were towards Poch and how some never wanted him.
At the end of AVB's first season many were delighted we had kept him away from PSG. Move forward 6 months he was fired and most seemed to be in favour.
As you say, times change fast and our perceptions of managers seem to change by any good or bad period.
Lets leave the contract negotiations to the summer.
