Poch has been fighting against the odds for 4 years. He has done a remarkable job with what he has had to work with. But let's face it there is nowhere left for him to go with us. He has reached the ceiling. Levy will not back him with big transfers.
If he wants to go to Real in the summer I would wish him well. It's a big rebuilding job there too as it was when he came to us. But it would be a new challenge, fresh environment for him. We will most likely appoint someone like Eddie Howe who will be happy to join an elite club even if he has to work within Levy's financial constraints.
Life goes on
Not really sure I agree.
I think the squad is more than capable of winning a trophy under his tenure. Win the league? With the squad we have? Might be a big ask and of course he'll need backing, but to say there is nowhere left for him to go with us is a bit silly.
He's also raised the profile of the club - so even if he does leave, I think we're at the biggest we've been in decades that we'd able to bring in a much higher profile manager than we ever have in the past. I think we could do a little better than the current Bournemouth manager..
