    Next Manager?

    To be honest, I like everyone else have no fudging clue what is going on here. I will say it’s the latest ‘managerial choice’ that just doesn’t make sense when you really think about it. It didn’t make sense that Poch would be leaving PSG after 6 months, to come back to a club where obviously...

    Next Manager?

    Sorry mate, you’re just wrong. What happened definitely is not that a few journos ‘picked it up from Italy’ and ran with it until proven wrong. Not at all.

    Next Manager?

    I think to be fair, this looks like an opportunistic Paratici call. But I would love to understand the thought process. I am dearly hoping it isn’t that he is 1.5m cheaper than the already cheap Fonseca. What is it about him as a coach? His style? His track record? This needs to be explained...

    Next Manager?

    @billyiddo mate, I realise I’m never going to get you on this because I won’t be able to reveal absolute proof, but do you not find it in the slightest bit suspicious that on the week before season ticket renewal deadline day, all of the obviously connected journalists who called Paratici weeks...

    Next Manager?

    I would genuinely love to know what the decision making process is like. I'm willing to believe we thought there was an opportunity to get Gattuso, and maybe we were never that bought in on Fons (which would beg the question as to why he was the prime candidate for so long) and we think Gattuso...

    Any long reads on Gattuso's playing style?

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Would this strengthen the idea that ENIC have us pretty much batting at par rather than doing anything particularly transformative? Particularly given without Poch the most recent couple of decades’ average might be a position or two lower? (I’d argue he did genuinely transformational work...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    You love this War and Peace thing. I’m gonna start calling your posts Mr Men stories. I think some of the most interesting posts on this forum come from people that are willing to debate with some depth, and back up their arguments in compelling ways. I’ve learnt a lot by being on here and...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I think there is an interesting argument here I have thought a bit, in that it’s fair to question what Levy has done himself that is super transformative (in this example, the stadium is something that was a choice, spend on it, rather than the team). I agree with what you are saying that...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    And he took over a team that was no where near as strong, performing at consistently a high level, as it was 2-3 even 4 years into his reign. By year 5, the squad went stale, which was nothing to do with him, and he entered an inevitable down swing.

    Mauricio Pochettino

    I don’t agree. It might take a few years but eventually it will be looked back upon in the way it deserves. Two actual title challenges (losing to a freak Leicester and a Chelsea with no Europe). The CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL. No signings for 18 months. The Wembley move and the overrun on the new...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Hmm…your argument kinda falls down when you consider that none of the players you are mentioning (Dembele, Rose, Walker, Dele) had shown anything like the consistent high level of performance that they showed us until Poch got hold of them.

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Preach, brother! I'm sure Poch would have loved to do that. Instead he was operating with a wage budget that meant he couldn't go for the level of players he is working with now. His whole 'we need new furniture' was a way to pressure the club into signing more proven players rather than punts...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    What gives you the certainty here? Poch was consistently finishing above Klopp in the league, then Liverpool went and spent top money on some of the best players in the world in their position (Allison, VVD), then they won things.

    Yes I know. That’s good! And it’s not that I will, it’s that we will.

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Accountable, always accountable to the fans that have no other choice but to support this club. This doesn’t mean the fans are his boss, but it does mean that fans should be represented as much as possible. I’m not arguing against a lot of the good things Levy has done for the club. I’m arguing...

    I also don’t think I’m suggesting that fans having power means those things would happen. I’m just saying - fans should hold the owners accountable. They should use their voice. Be heard if they can.

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Sure, don’t disagree with you there at all.

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    But it’s relative though right? I think I’m just arguing that fans have more power than you think they do, not that fans are all powerful. I think they are an important stakeholder group to consider when decisions are made, and will be heard if they come together and use their voice in smart...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Isn’t it that they were involved because they thought the train was leaving and they wanted to be on it, and then they quickly saw it was more trouble than it was worth, so pulled out? I’m sure they all expected some negative reaction, but the sheer level of it probably gave City and Chelsea the...
