Brighton will finish bottom half again next season.
He'll leave
He'll take over another bottom half club.

Poch is in London since yesterday at least. His favorite restaurant posted a picture with him on instagram.Anyone tracking jets in and out of Paris yet?
I was on about that cunt Aurier going back to France.Poch is in London since yesterday at least. His favorite restaurant posted a picture with him on instagram.
His wife and Maurizio jr still live in England.
So it's a NO from your. Loud and clear.I'd say a big YES to Poch under 3 conditions
1) He is given backing by the board in terms of finances
2) The club sell some of the deadwood that fell out with Poch
3) The guy has to be less stubborn. He got sacked for a reason last time. He looked really tactically inept and stubborn towards the end. No away win in a year either.
Hell of a charge.You're being quite obstinate here.
Were any of them Messi? So it stands to reason then that opinion could have been divided on any of those players. There wasn't 1 player that we were linked with during Poch's time that I was or would have been upset with him turning down. Not one! And beyond that there isn't 1 player 'turned down' that you could 100% prove was a mistake. So it's all a crapshoot that is best left up to the man expected to train them and most familiar with his tactical intentions and not Nigel down the pub or many folks on this board who show they have no idea day in day out. Everyday there's a new one, Fernandes, Tielemans, Coutinho...if folks can't see the problems with these players in general or in the specific context of the potential linking then there's little anyone can to do help them. Me? I would have hated any of these half-a-players coming.There are plenty of stories out there of Poch turning down players and yes, it's also true that he was asked to polish plenty of turds.
Held there careers back how? How do you gauge this? Where were their careers headed otherwise?Our youth system/young players may not be elite but he held their careers back by not wanting to loan out any young players and choosing to have them train over actually playing.
I'm not against the loaning or for it. I can easily see the logic in both. What I am against is the insinuation of these shit players being 'held back' from becoming Messi...or even mini Messi for that matter. Man City got Sancho off of Watford and they paid real money for him because he had talent. I don't believe he went out on loan either (could be a combo of age and lack of desire from Pep...who also has never loaned phil foden). We get players from fleetwood and hear stories about how they are held back. No, they are just shit and were never going to be anything other than league 2 cloggers.One of the actual good things that happened when he left was you saw many young players going out on loan.
And Levy has shown us that he hasn't learned from his mistakes and keeps making them. Nothing has changed here and even looking at Poch now shows we are not truly seeing the scale of the fuckups. I think Poch would be mad to come back here now. And in fact, as you mention, I am not sure he has learned from his mistakes nor grown enough as a manager to satisfy my concerns about him as a manager. But those concerns have nothing to do with not wanting certain overrated players opportunistically foisted upon him or not loaning some shit youth clogger.I'm not saying Poch was shit and that Levy was a saint, I'm saying both made mistakes (Levy made many more than Poch) and it's no guarantee Poch has learned from his mistakes yet.
You should want this. His appointment will obviate the need for updating your schtick due to Sissoko's leaving. RESPECT THE COCK was telling me this was causing some anxiety as you were running out of low-hanging fruit. I, OTOH, do not want this. But I do look forward to ending this youth loaning nonsense.
We need more Foden's and Sancho's not league 2 cloggers.
Okay. I'll do the deep dive on his wiki to see if he has any experience. For the sake of the argument.
Turns out he has managed Dynamo Kiev between 2014-2017, Al-Ahli for one season. Then Ferencvaros from 2018 until now. 60+ win% at every club. 2 league titles in the Ukraine and 3 in Bulgaria.
Obviously not a name that we should go for but it is nice to see that he is doing well for himself.
...can you say it a bit louder for those in the back?I think KWP sucking and being scared wasn't getting fixed by a loan.
I also think a lot of the other youth players that he supposedly mishandled just aren't very good, Marcus Edwards being a prime example of an overrated player that isn't any good. He wasn't mishandled he just sucks
I seem to have gotten Hungary and Bulgaria mixed up then.His Hungarian (not Bulgarian) side knocked out both Celtic and Dinamo Zagreb from Champions League last year.
So you could say a Hungarian side with Rebrov, was better than Tottenham with Mourinho
To be fair his record looks quite reasonable, not top tier reasonable, but worth a shot in one of the big leagues, by a middling side reasonable
It's right here, these words belowI'm not sure what the actual question is.
For posterity's sake and context, weren't you fully behind the Mou appointment and could see the very many ways in which his influence was being stamped on the club?

the fun never stops!
See Skipp too.Then get rid. Don't keep them. But don't keep them and do nothing with them, that helps no-one, you, them or the club.
And KWP might not be great, but we paid 50m in the meantime for two that aren't much better. What I would have preferred is we either used KWP as back up to Trippier the season we bought Aurier for 25 plus salary (who was fucking awful that season himself) figure out whether we want to keep him and if not sell him that season.
The second best option having bought Aurier, and already having Trippier, would surely have been to send KWP out on loan to either bump up his value and/or figure out whether he could improve for some actual game time in the mens league - as he had barely played any senior football.
So sending him on loan might not have fixed all his ills, but we could had him or some reasonable cash and a player off the books (space for another) about 2-3 years ahead of when we did, instead of a kid sitting around doing almost fuck all for three years (not even playing U23 football).
Ok. So looks like its Conte, fellas
For 15mil a year, why would he?Jose seemed to like levy? Openly said he brought in great players and provided him with a great squad etc
never once indicated displeasure at Levy
Is his son still on the roster?But as French season is over, and his wife and son still live at Hadley Wood, that is no surprise whatsoever that he is over here, in fact would be more of a surprise if he wasn't.
