Or, maybe Poch just isnt that unhappy?
I think the mistake you and many have been making is listening to the 'noise'. The only real reliable ones are The Athletic who broke the story, and went on to say that the chances of Poch moving was low. But of course that didnt stop plenty of people getting all excitable, with plenty of 'sources' and usual ITK flimflam to follow. Yet all the noise in France was that Poch wasnt going anywhere aswell. Levy obviously asked the question, but there was never any indication it went much beyond that if you filter out the obvious clickbait.....
Conte is not Jose and that's a lazy comparison
Why is one of the better managers in world football not a good fit?
I agree with the last lineToo defensive a setup and far too volatile a character.
We don't have the players for his system. It won't therefore be successful. Our fanbase are completely out of patience with negative football, so the stadium will immediately become a big barrier. Him and Levy will also fall out instantly
It will just end in tears very quickly.

I don’t agree that he is negative
His side that won the league did so beating the best Spurs side we have had in a loooong time
They scored 1 less goal than us too so attack wise were very comparable

Guess we need to replace some players then?
Well, I was all for bringing Poch back. Not possible just now. Conte is clearly the next best available. Unlike Mourinho, he's still in his prime and a student of the game. I'm good with hiring him. Clearly knows how to get his team scoring goals but also knows how to set up to defend, something that's a little more urgent with Spurs currently.

Get rid of all the ballplayers and bring in some big pacy brutes to get on the end of all the long diagonals from CB. Cool
Bring in either ETH or Lopetegui and you're immediately signalling re-build, as opposed to the re-load Conte would offer. The two former managers will need time to adapt to the PL. Conte is current and far likelier to attract the talent we need to compete for the top four next season. And ETH isn't coming to us. His boss, Marc Overmars, is keeping him warm for Arsenal.
It must be boring to know everything before the first ball has been kicked. I take it you didn't agree with BrainofLevy"s post the other day, who didn't want Pochettino's critics to have a go at him before he had a chance to rebuild the team?
What are your thoughts on Chris Wilder?Too defensive a setup and far too volatile a character.

I don't agree with that. Continuity Poch coaches will be able to use the squad he built (ballplaying attackers and high-line defenders). Conte though would have to completely reverse the squad and bring in running attackers and low-block defenders.
