Is that you Mrs Moyes ?
I get the appeal but I don't feel comfortable with "back tracking". It feels like nostalgia goggles on. Poch is good but his time here has been and gone.Poch every day of the week for me. We may not win silverware....but at the fuggin least, we'll play exciting attacking football once again. I'd rather be on the cusp of greatness year in year out than waddling along the bottom like a band of sloths. Beggars can't be choosers innit
Things fell apart with Poch when he took us to heights never achieved before in decades, had us looking like a proper club, and when he asked for investment and was shot down, it completely destroyed the momentum at the club which we have never recovered from and its been one bad mistake after the other.
Anyone saying otherwise or badmouthing Pochs name and legacy is operating on major cope. We was all there. We watched it. It was gorgeous to watch. Not only that, it felt like a genuine family under Poch.
Yeah they did, but given the stadium expenditure I can understand why.Means nothing though does it?
There was hope that team could take us somewhere. It felt like something but then the club failed to capitalize
I disagree mate. The only back tracking we've done, is what's happened since Poch didn't get the appropriate financial backing when there needed to be a change of the guard and he got the sack.I get the appeal but I don't feel comfortable with "back tracking". It feels like nostalgia goggles on. Poch is good but his time here has been and gone.
Not to mention he just signed for a new job.
The investment came too late and as we’ve seen was completely misdirected in two wasters.Things fell apart with Poch when he took us to heights never achieved before in decades, had us looking like a proper club, and when he asked for investment and was shot down, it completely destroyed the momentum at the club which we have never recovered from and its been one bad mistake after the other.

Poch’s team was already on the decline before the CL final.Yeah they did, but given the stadium expenditure I can understand why.
I think if that team and Poch hadn’t suffered such a monumental hangover after the CL defeat then things might have been different.
Win that final and I think we’d be looking at a very different Spurs.
Another defeat next week. Thomas Frank is a smart cookie, pretty sure he will have the right game plan to expose again this simpleton football that we play
It was but the hangover just exacerbated things.
We are miles off 4th. Today demonstrates that point. But it didn’t need today. The last 9 months have shown that. Sure, we might win some games but do you really think we can get 4th in the evidence so far?So?
How’s that really any different to the regular 8-4th range?
Win some games, lose some others. Never really feel much.
I might pay attention to the Europa and Cups this year to see what happens there but the second best team in the country play Dyche ball to get results. The best team are so far ahead they can start seasons slowly before winning just to feel something.
For clarityoh dear oh dear. and the 1.38 has a major boost pre chelsea, since then its been even worse! this cant continue.
"Cunte" performed better than the Australian Guardiola, mate.Cunte and Jose are cheque book managers on the decline and were absolutely the wrong fit for us.
Everyone will be a disaster. I will take a punt on him to get us winning something before the disaster happens. The story outcome is the same anyway - years and years are lost on hoping Mourinho and Conte could win us something. Another year or two with him wouldn't matter.I want to be patient but on days like this it is hard.
But the question is, if we replace him, who do we go for?
Tuchel is the biggest free name. But he is a disaster waiting to happen.
Potter could work. But he seems to want "big big" jobs now.
Maybe someone like Pioli could work. An adaptable, savvy manager that is used to working under a bit of a budget and developing younger talent. While still competing. He did great at Milan.
How on earth can you write that guff!!!Outcome was exactly the same under Poch.
iWe had talented players but did nothing with them
