He'll be sacked by November, just you watch. He's hanging by a thread, he's the wrong manager for this kind of team, and there will be bedding in problems.
Agreed. If Poch can’t win the treble with that team then he isn’t fit to manage a corner store.
Horses for courses. Poch is a brilliant manager, but a superteam full of brands and egos is the wrong fit. But the beautiful bastard is such a romantic he couldn't turn down a club he captained back in the day.
Of course he doesn't owe anyone anything. But it's not like he needs a final big paycheck, he's fucking mega minted. Why go to the most obvious, boring super rich shite team in a shitty league? I think most football fans look at PSG as an abomination.
Ronaldo to juve gave me a similar feeling, it's like just going there to be pretty much guaranteed a league win, another box ticked on the CV.
In comparison, I have more respect for Suarez going to athletico. He took a relative step down but helped push a lesser fancied team to league success. There's a greater glory in elevating a smaller team to success than there is rocking up in Paris and winning the French league.
Maradona / Napoli.
Yeeeeeesssssssss. Exactly
Messi, Mbappe and Neymar.
If Poch can't win a CL with that then he's probably the worlds biggest bottler.

He's already done what you're asking of him. How quickly people forget that Barca weren't the titans they are now the years before Messi's debut.
He's gone to Paris to play with Neymar, who he has been hounding the Barcelona board to resign for years.
Clearly I've never met the guy, but from his public persona, I can't for the life of me understand why someone would be actively seeking to be around Neymar, aside from the money/fame hungry hangers on obviously.
On Poch, if he was unhappy there due to Leonardo and his interference then I can't imagine how he's going to take to being dictated to by Messi.
Poch is quality irrespective of what happens at PSG.
Personally for all the talk of their front line, it's the signings they've made at the back that makes me think they'll be even better this season.
World's best keeper in Donnarumma, Ramos and Hakimi. Wijnaldum is a very smart signing as well.

Even now and with Messi and Neymar a few years on, that trio would ensure you bought some spare pants.
If they click it will be frightening. We already know Messi and Neymar get on. I guess the unknown is the impact on Mbappe. Inspired by it or irritated by the biggest star of all arriving on his doorstep?
We will find out.
Leonardo is smart
Yeah how he got those deals over the line is beyond meLeonardo is smart
I reckon his bosses will be fuming at that too.......
They'll have been looking forward to the ego/PR/commerical rub from being known to be 'that' club.
(Personally don't think it would match Barca w/ prime Messi, Suarez & a properly motivated Neymar anyway.)
He either wins it all or he gets sacked - with the squad he now has what other choice is there?
Lol Poch is such a nutcase.
Umm, what?
Barca were absolutely titans... Long before Messi even kicked a football Barca were absolutely one of the biggest clubs in the world. Their past is absolutely glistening with honors.
