Les Howe
Poch or Tuchel. I would welcome either. Yet they could not be more different. Can we take both, and they work together? Poch galvanising, man-managing. Coaching players to be better footballing versions of themselves. Tuchel, methodical, well-organised, structured. They'd be a dream team?
I'd take Tuchel personally. I think he could build upon Conte and Paratici's foundation. Ultimately we want a manager who'll allow us to move on from the Poch era. When we were spirited, plucky and to be fair overachieving. The problem with Poch is his setup isn't so sustainable. Where Tuchel relies on a system, Poch relies on elevating players. And at times those players don't always stay inflated, better versions of themselves. Which undermines Poch in the end. Poch also seems to work better as an underdog, polishing players who lack something. Which is a perfect fit for us! Well yes in a way it is. So I'd happily take either. But for me, to move forward, Tuchel is the better bet.
