WAS is correct, the lust to bring him back blows my mind

The guy had Messi Suarez Neymar up front and Barcelona’s youth system to work with. What examples do you have about not needing backing and using youth players.
I’m not so sure, his managerial targets have been alarming and his recruitment seems to be scattergun and based around connections. I don’t see a clear vision for the team and reports around the Fonseca deal indicated that he favours Conte/Mourinho style pragmatism over attacking football. Doesn’t seem to be a good fit for what most of the fans here want.

Poch had Eriksen Dembele Toby Jan Kane Son & prime Dele and won nothing with us. You can use any logic to fight an argument.
He gave more debuts in 3 years at Barca than Poch did in 5 years here.

Speculation all over the place now.
He has been to a large extent..... Would be practical enough to pick his brains over certain things though; even if he was to remain hands-off in the interim. Similarly, he could well be entrusted with some of the liasing between club, agents etc.
..............I very much doubt that Levy will be affording him primary autonomy over the big question of "who" it will be though.
Yes; I share the broader concern though.... I just made a post saying the DOF situ is a bigger/broader worry for me. Even if the new gaffa is Poch, a tug of war between him & Levy every trf window would be like a return to the dark ages (and a virtual guarantee of shit recruitment).
I feel you are right tbh..... To me last weekend was the death-knell for top 4 so all that remains is damage limitation; so if we can stem the tide with Mason until after the Everton game, then we can approach our next step(s) with a far clearer vision.
.....I think anyone that is sneering at Mason and chatting crap about "Mason's mates" is being incredibly small-minded.

He should be no where involved in picking the future.
Just looking at the careers of some of the candidates and amusingly Thomas Frank resigned from Brondby because the club chairman was caught slagging him off on a fan message board using a pseudonym. You have to say that is superb.

Take any emotion out of the choice
He is available, uses youth players, doesn't take shit from players, plays forward thinking, fits some of our players and clear club targets & is a big name within football
For me I loved Poch but the thought of him coming here with his choice in transfers and the fact players that let him down are still here isn't great. If he came in sure we would have another season of Lloris as first choice blundering in.

Luis Enrique is my first choice but why is Paratici deciding the shortlist if he is getting suspended?
His only real success was Barca which is a club that is always backed and not comparable to spurs. Taking a club from 17th to 9th is decent but nothing special. He likely only got the Barca job due to being an ex player and managing Barca B.
He might be a good fit here but I just don’t see enough.
No, but much the same; the same tentacles with a different head may not actually function the same way.
The whole thing bothers me maybe more than the immediate manager search.
I am not in love with poch or anything. I am just not convinced by Luis Enrique.
His only real success was PSG which is a club that is always backed and not comparable to spurs. Taking a club from 2nd to 1st is decent but nothing special. He likely only got the PSG job due to being an ex player.

Thoughts on Luis Enrique?
If I am honest myself his appointment would concern me. Don’t think he would work here.
I'm more convinced of Enrique than Poch.
What was the "incredible" aspect of his Barca that wasn't essentially already in pace thanks to the previous crew of Pep and co? .....Wasn't it also around this time that they started making bad signings like Coutinho, Dembele & Griezeman? I'd wonder how close he was to those decisions......
(Genuine question; I don't get that up close to La Liga.)
