Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

So I’d love to know how and where these rumours started and why…. They may be true but her reaction and the constant push that she is PR makes me think it’s the usual fan lies

It's been low key shared by a few people close to club that pre Chelsea (can't remember the timing exactly), there was some chatter around Poch returning, consensus was there was a issue not with either Poch or Levy (Steff may have heard different), but with a member of the board re Poch, hence it was never seriously pursued. I can say more what I heard (but it would just create noise), I didn't specifically hear Donna, but a lot of people have made that connection.
 
Anyone play golf this time of year? And at that hour? Would be fairly easy to doctor this. I say chance of it being gonads - 99%.
Then again, the club might actually want to hire Poch to get some goodwill back from fans. I don't see it happening though.
I used to get out early but that early in Feb.....no chance.
 
Looking at Birmingham City sitting pretty at the top of League One does get me wondering about the impact of our club losing Chris Davies.

+27 GD with only 19 goals conceded. Only 2 losses in the league. 63 points from 27 games.

I'd love to get Chris's opinion about what he think goes on with Ange's tactics. It's not like he's taken the Ange playbook with him and implemented it. He's implemented at Birmingham what he thinks will make him a winner in the league he's in.

Food for thought.
Very impressive coach with a decent CV before Birmingham. Needs to show he can step up from League 1 obviously. But really enjoyed the clip of his training session.n

The normal way TBF.. a division combined with a rumour then becomes a fact
Hey she may well hate him or possibly made a valid comment that you don’t go back….
Who knows

What is probably likely is that by creating Munn's new football officer role, there had to be some stripping of responsibilities from Cullen, Caplehorn and perhaps Collecott. Makes you wonder whether someone like Cullen even has the same jurisdiction as when Poch was around. It seems she's been manoeuvred to the women's team as one of her key focus areas, even though it falls under Miunn.

Strange setup to have board members so tactically involved if you ask me.

She has nothing to do with football according to her title and experience
None of the names you mentioned do expect for maybe contract drafting
They are all on the business side

So for clarity Steff, the "offended for him" wasn't specifically aimed at you. It was aimed at this sometimes narrative that Poch had no part in his own end, and that he somehow should/does hate Spurs & Levy (which regardless of your opinion on the first part, the second clearly isn't true).

We have done the what could have been conversation, and different perceptions of what portion of what belongs on who.



None of us know, but I'd say there is enough noise that indicates some people (not Levy) have an issue with Poch, and/or Poch has an issue with them, that has basically prevented any serious consideration of him returning to this point. @thfcsteff has referenced it in the past, I'd say I've heard something slightly different (around the why) but to the same effect.

Of course he had a part; he agreed to carry on in the summer of 2019 for a start, believing (I'm sure) that it would work out OK, and because he genuinely loves the club. It was a fault of his, as much of a fault as Levy's for talking things around that summer. But his biggest fault was loving this club too much.
 
Some fans believe that Cullen might be playing a role in ensuring Pochettino doesn’t return to the club. The two are reported to have shared a bit of a strained relationship because the Argentine gaffer wasn’t pleased with her having a ‘business first’ mentality and meddling with certain affairs.
Some fans believe the earth is flat. We have a lot of fans. Each has their own beliefs.

From what I know, she is the director of the women's team. She is also listed on companies house with that directorship. I also believe all the comms and PR falls under Donna unless it's changed.

As the FD, I would also imagine Collecott's team supports anything Munn's team does from a financial perspective. He would be a shared service and working with Scott on all the budgets and everything financial would be my guess.

All are non sporting roles
So nothing to do with the football set up
