We don’t know that for a fact do we?
well look how quickly Janssen, N 'Jie and Nkoudou were binned off in comparison to how many games Mason, Bentaleb and Townsend were given

Yeah but they were here and the expectations were different thenwell look how quickly Janssen, N 'Jie and Nkoudou were binned off in comparison to how many games Mason, Bentaleb and Townsend were given
Yeah but they were here and the expectations were different then
Also they were bought in via others and were part of the squad
The signings were Pochs signings but we don’t know what he thought of them
Truetheir exclusion suggests not much
I’ve said this loads but if we wanted rid of players Poch could have helped and down a LOT more
Rose even came out in one of his paper rants and said I’ll leave when the manager stops having me in his office telling me what to do!!!!
Jose came in and it took him 2 weeks to realise he wasn’t wanted!!!
Poch is massively accountable on players leaving IMO
And let’s not forget for these players to leave too someone had to want them. No one bid for Toby at the bargain £25m remember
True
But he did buy them
He wasI just rewatched the CL Final. Rose was one of our best players.
We do have to go back to the fact that he was the manager who was in charge when those players were brought under his watchSigh.
The committee bought them.
Do we really have to get back into Mane vs Njie, etc?!
You must REALLY be missing football. Did you re-watch the 0-5 against the Goons? The Milk/Rumbelows/whateverthefudgeitwas cup defeat to the Dippers AND the '87 FA Cup final too?I just rewatched the CL Final. Rose was one of our best players.
He was
I’ve said it loads
Said it on the thread for rose
So why did Poch and Levy want him gone, and why didn’t Poch do enough to convince him to leave ?

That’s a fact
He was also on the committee so signed those players off
That’s a fact
So he is accountable (along with some others) for those signings
The fact he didn’t improve them, fit them in or play them certainly isn’t the fault of the committee is it?

How do you know that?Poch did not want him gone.
Where did you watch it (channel wise)Nah. Just the game that was the biggest I have ever been to in my life, that I had only seen at the time in the ground. Thought it might make for interesting conversation but hey-ho, no worries...
I’m pretty sure I remember that Levy was looking for £20 million+ for Rose and clubs wouldn’t pay that and the wage demand for him. Poch probably felt that Rose out on loan with no direct replacement coming in and Sessegnon not ready yet would make us weaker (which I agree with).He was

It’s not as if any of them have gone on to great things though is it? You can’t polish a turd although to be fair Poch did roll a few turds in glitter!We do have to go back to the fact that he was the manager who was in charge when those players were bought under his watch

Don’t remember any figures ever being circulatedI’m pretty sure I remember that Levy was looking for £20 million+ for Rose and clubs wouldn’t pay that and the wage demand for him.
