Getting older players in doesn't seem to be compatible with someone who is intent on staying around long. Maybe he just wants to win something this season and then leave....

The flip-side is "he wants to win now; not it in 5 yrs time..... He's not a project manager..... He's gonna leave! Wah!"
......You won't win mate.
Fella wants Poch back and thinks he can wish it into happening.
It's not that I want Poch back, rather I think he will be back.
I can't see it to be honest.
I loved Poch and everything.....well almost everything he did for us.
But I think it's a case of not going back now.
Pretty simple really...... We rarely sign ageing players..... When we do it's a commitment to what the manger has requested.

I think if Conte walked tomorrow Poch would be in pretty quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if levy has Poch in mind should Conte not sign up for more.
You give of a contrary impression.
You nibble at every issue from all sides, seemingly digging for any answer that points to a Conte exit all the while harbouring a utopian view of ol' Morris.
I'm not responsible for the impression you take from my words.
Really can't see it mate, but I could be wrong obviously.
I don't think the list of takers for the job would be very long.
They say you shouldn't go back, but I also can see him returning in the future, hopefully after Conte has won the league twice and a CL
Yes and no.
If you think I'm a twat; presumably I've played a roll in that, no.....? In this written realm, our words are all we are.
Didn't we try and go for him before we signed Nuno, but he was tied down with a contract where he was?
If I decide you're a twat from reading your posts, that's my reading, and my opinion of your words. it doesn't mean that you set out to convince me that you are one.

Every time we're after a manager his name gets linked.
I've absolutely no idea to be honest.

IIRC Poch was asked to sign a new contract at PSG and that put an end to our interest, and then Levy came out and said something about regretting not backing and sacking him, and Poch saying he'd like to return to Spurs one day etc etc etc....I

.... so IMO as he's now a free agent, if Conte were to leave he would be high up in the list of proposed replacements.
If Levy really wants him back, I don't think he'd be going all out to get Conte to sign a new contract.
I think Levy would have Poch back if Conte doesn't sign up a new contract at the end of the season, if Poch is still available then and doesn't have a new team to manage elsewhere.
I'm not suggesting that Levy would sack Conte to employ Poch but rather if the circumstances presented themselves.
Errrr, yeh..... But.....
Lets move on.... It's not my intent to offend you.
I actually think Poch coming back if Conte doesn’t extend could be a great thing. Don’t you wonder if Poch could get a tune out of this squad where Conte is clearly struggling? I think Conte’s System is too rigid.
We rarely go through the middle of teams like we did under Poch, we are obsessed with getting it wide and crossing. And that’s not because of the CE, Poch tactics mixed it up so we became a hard team to plan for.
