i get that people aren't happy with what's going on at the moment but playing down what he's done in the past five years is just dumb.

Totally agree.

I think there's no way back from here for Poch but I'll always massively respect his time at the Club.

He progressed us no doubt.

But when it's gone it's gone I'm afraid.

Poch himself says Sess is for the future so why is he now being seen as the person to turn around our season.
I am not pinning our entire season on just Sess, I am simply saying that introducing/reintroducing more players into the picture means more options, players fighting for positions, more rest for tired players and the ability to drop those who don't want to play or no longer living up to their potential. I also need something to be try and be positive about as bathing in negativity is becoming stale.

Forget looking at Utd and consequently Solskjaer's future, we should be proactive in sorting out our own destiny!

Couldn't give a tinkers toss how it's perceived by the wider media and fans or if it's somehow 'bad PR' because this is a rudderless ship that's clearly meandering it's way to being a season completely written off with a very realistic chance of us being out of European football next season.
Levy doesnt care. He’s found a manager that was successful that wont criticize him after not backing him. He’ll cling on as long as he can.

It reminds me of the Juande Ramos spell in charge. Got to a final the previous year and stunk it out the following season until redknapp saved the day. Only difference is Ramos won the final

It’s unbelievable it’s got to this, it really is. I didn’t see it coming despite being bad for so long, I didn’t see it getting to this point.

Poch lets a lot of his emotions out but has never indicated that he is not getting the players he wants. What has he put his name on? Nothing.
What has he stood on? Nothing.
Has he ever said that he didnt want a player or that he had to have a player?
I think he said he wanted to change the style. We did buy four attacking players. But what has he done for the system? Nothing. Has he ever pushed for another creative player? The movement upfield is crap. Lots of going nowhere. Its been like this for 2 seasons
I was actually excited when Poch said he wanted to change the system to a more attacking style but Poch has show no tactical nous of how to do that. He screwed up big time by puting Winks by himself as DM against Bayern as NDombele went forward.

I think if we get hammered by Liverpool next week and Poch is still here after that, Levy is going to stick with him for the season, effectively writing it off - bar a relegation battle.

The season is done as a caretaker can only help stop the bleeding. Poch should have got his shit together for this past game....not the next one.
Its going to be a rough season no matter what.

I disagree. The right man could get this squad firing again, it's crammed with quality.

If we act in the next week, this season is not over, far from it imo.

What else has he done bar what I mentioned ? The 71 pts Leicester season probably wouldn’t even get us top 4 this season. Been a decent/good manager nothing more.

But we can’t not get top four because if we don’t arsenal will and that would be a disaster. They are struggling as a club without it and we need to keep them out of it again next season. It will give them a massive leg up if we falter.

Was just doing squad for Belgrade. We have a ridiculously good squad “on paper”. To the point he’s gonna have real issues who to leave out the 18. In theory there’s not a huge amount wrong with our squad. Chelsea 15/16 showed if they don’t want to play for manager it doesn’t matter how good it looks on paper.

He has been a good manager for us and we shouldn't be pulling him to pieces it's unfortunate that he has never been able to win anything with us always falling short, but it is time for him to go with our thanks and good wishes.

How many times do we have to go over this dumb argument about points in other seasons
The whole time people aren’t happy just criticising the actual issues and embellishing with a steaming heap of made up fly infested yakshit just because they want to put the boot in that little bit more than necessary. It’s pathetic.
