Poch is coming home when De Zerbi leaves this summer.
Fuck Poch, clown
No idea tbh. But I think he'd be ok with taking us in the Championship. Must be tempting to be the guy to bring good times back.
When we briefly looked like we might be in danger of relegation, at the end of January last year, Ange Postecoglou put together a mini-run of results that took us well clear of the bottom three.
Surely if a fat Aussie clown can manage to keep us up, a quality coach like De Zerbi should have no difficulty at all?
The difference is De Zerbi has a small amount of time to fix his methods into the team, and get to know the players. Postecoglou had two seasons with most of the squad, and started each season on level pegging ie he didn't take over managing a team near the bottom of the table with a handful of matches left to play.
You love Postecoglou, I get it, but comparing De Zerbe who's taken over a team seeped in relegation to Poohstecoglou who had a blank canvass is just weird, and a tad creepy.
Did read pochettino walked out on chelsea. Id walk out on them cunts ideally leaving a massive trail of devastation.
Fell out with Egbaili apparently. Boehy is the guy who gets the stick but Egbaili is apparently the nightmare of the two. He apparently doesn’t just interfere with transfers but also like the to the managers what team to pick.
Much classier than the Aussie gaslighter!
Poch is a nice contingency to have.
I can only imagine the self-loathing you do in this case then.
Yep, Levy had more than enough chances to show his ambition and every time reverted to type, scrimping and saving, trying to get bargains to the detriment of whichever manager was in charge at the time.
He did well to build the club to what it now is but the game moved on and he didn't, he just couldn't stop meddling with things that he didn't really understand, like football.
The club became too big to be run by one man and he continually failed to relinquish any control to the people he was hiring.
A certain antipodean gentleman who delivered a 5th place and a European trophy in two seasons, might read that and reasonably think:
hence why when he was kicked out the club was left with the two morons Lange and Vinai. If you are a one man club those below are fine to be idiots. How long did we have Donna Cullen around as well. Might as well have had Mr blobby as Levy’s number 2.
Yep, it's imperative in the summer that we clear the decks and get in strong football people with a clear vision, not stick with a couple of wet wipes.
The kids will never be able to make a success of this club without some capable personalities making the important decisions for them.
That's why I'll always stand by the idea that while he certainly had his flaws, Paratici knew football and how to work it.
To lose him and be left with Lange and Vinai was not a smart move.

I watched the whole thing, and although it's sometimes hard to understand what's he's saying (probably struggles to articulate his more complicated thoughts in English), there's no mistaking his love for our Club, and the sadness that we all are feeling at the moment. I feel that he would have jumped at the chance to come back to us, if he had been asked.
A few things that I picked up on:
1. He mentioned winning is a habit (my thoughts went straight to we've become a 'losing is a habit' club)
2. He also said that a coach has to be adaptable (I interpreted that as no point in sticking to a system if you don't have suitable players).
3. So much outside noise and interference in modern football.
Although RDZ might be the right coach for us at his moment in time, I still want to see Poch back at the end of Roberto's tenure, however long or short that may be.

What would he know about that?
See question 1
WHY?
I would rather bring back Martin Jol than Poch.
Don’t care what anyone says, I will always love me some Poch…
Honestly, fantasy land here.
