Poch didn’t have Modric, Bale, King, VDV, etc.


We have peaked when the spending stopped.

I'll highlight again.... Poch wanted the club to spend £25m on Grealish the same summer Maddison went for £22m and Lo Celso agreed a loan with option for permanent at £20m-£25m. Why do people point fingers at Levy when the money men were clearly prepared to spend that summer but chose different targets compared to those that were gettable?

I'm not a fan of constantly blaming Levy. I'm not saying some of the responsibility isn't on his shoulders but there's a few few that should also shoulder the blame in similar measure.

Poch deserves the January window

I agree however it does appear something has happened in last 24/48 hours behind the scenes.. wondering if Levy has asked Potch what his long term plans and the answer he has got back is less than convincing that Potch wants to stay with us and build another team.. which IF the case leads to the point is there much point in backing him in January if he is going to leave in the summer.

Agree. Thought it reel the out-ers in, in a fit of rage.

For reference our last 10 seasons are below so when you exclude Pochs first season, the extra 5ish points a season are basically the difference between 5th and CL football so probably as you'd expect.

18/19. 71 points. Poch
17/18 77 points. Poch
16/17 86 points. Poch
15/16 70 points. Poch
14/15 64 points. Poch
13/14 69 points. AVB/ Sherwood
12/13 72 points. AVB
11/12 69 points. Redknapp
10/11 62 points. Redknapp
09/10 70 points. Redknapp

Just to add:

In 09/10 - we finished 4th
in 10/11 - we finished 5th, 6 points below Arsenal in 4th
In 11/12 - we finished 4th but CFC won the CL to knock us out
In 12/13 - we finished 5th but missed out on CL by 1 point (well actually 2 if you consider goal difference)
In 13/14 - we finished 6th 10 points below Arsenal in 4th

So, we were 2 points and a Bayern win from obtaining CL football in the years prior to Poch. We have not finished outside the top 6 since 2010. Poch has done wonderfully well but, it is important to get some context and stop pretending he took over a midtable side.

Guillem...



He goes on to say we can’t afford compo for any decent managers and the two available managers aren’t interested. Isn’t Ballbag buddies with Poch? Sounds like scaremongering to keep him in the job.

You should all read that Balague thread, He's taken a giant shit on most of the talk here, obviously it depends whether you believe he has any validity or not.

Most of that is laced with bitterness at the prospect of us sacking his bezzy mate, Poch, though.

All I want is for Poch to turn it around, though.

Yeah you have to factor that in for sure, I think we all know what Jose would be waiting for if true, Allergi on the other hand I'm unsure.

He might be close to Poch, but I very much doubt he has a clue what the club can and can’t afford.

FWIW I've always found Balague to be somebody who guesses and don't take him at his word despite him having incredible contacts within the game but I posted these because fact of the matter is, he has or at least has had extremely close contact with Poch.

I'm only taking his Poch stuff as gospel as they are close, all the rest of it he's guessing.
People will bash him when its not something they want to hear, completely ignoring what he's said there makes a lot of sense and is very likely to be the case.
