That’s a quarter of the league (with Ipswich)…..
Don’t think Leicester will be included

I'm surprised to see some talking about Poch being replaced at Chelsea. He's just got them firing well - I'm sure he'll stay there another season.
Yeah. It’s mad but it would be so Chelsea. They just get FOMO. Want to sign everyone. Desperate for cred.
I thought it had clicked but if Boehly replaces Poch now it would show he doesn’t get it at all.
Yeah but if that yank here’s rumours of what we want his default setting is to want it himself…..I'm surprised to see some talking about Poch being replaced at Chelsea
Just have a read of their forum and social media, your sympathy will run out pretty quickly.
Full of bitterness and delusion. The usual nonsense you see from fans of once upon a time successful teams coming up from the Championship on a high again. Why would he come here - they’re bigger than us, we’re a small/irrelevant club, they will be ahead of us in a year or two, we’ve got a boring ground, no atmosphere, we’re on a slide/going down, their players are actually better, their chairman/recruitment is cleverer than ours guff.
Every year it’s a highlight for me reading the delusion from these fans on how their club is different and they’re going to come up and be more successful at it than all the other Championship teams that come up and put teams like little old Brighton back in our place. They have no idea or completely forget how hard it’s going to be. Every season it’s the same.
Enjoy your 4 wins next season Town

I'm kinda hoping it's someone else just because Jacob Steinberg is pushing this so hard in the Guardian, and I don't like him (I find there's always a snide undertone to his articles about us, more so than from the Guardian's resident Palace fan Ed Aarons).

I would not fancy Poch here to be honest, he has the air of Fat Sam already, he looks like a dinosaur already.I'm surprised to see some talking about Poch being replaced at Chelsea
Leicester iirc willl be hit with a points deduction
Poch seems like a reasonable chap. I wonder if we could tempt him if Chels gave him the boot. Tbh though he could probably get the Bayern job the way things are going for them.
If they are hit with anything over 6 points that's great news for our relegation battle next season !! As Ipswich are gone already.

Poch has won exactly nothing in the Premiership.
His biggest claim to fame is getting to a European Final ( and losing )
It's a No from me if it ever did happen.

Neither do I, but they are likely to start the season with lower odds for relegation than they started with in 22/23.
There is still a discussion with PSR to be had, I believe.

He’ll fit right in here then, except substitute Premier League for anything

The counter I guess that no interest after a couple of years suggests it’s been underwhelming all be it just enough to not be sacked

Two years is fine... with certain personalities that's all we're gonna get. So long as our general trend is up, I'm happy.

Historically, managerial stability has been a pretty accurate predictor of success. But that's because a new manager would usually mean a whole new style of play, with all the ramifications that has on existing team members and on transfer policies.
However, clubs increasingly have a distinct style that exists independently of the manager in post, and managers are in fact recruited for how well they'll fit the club's existing style.
So I'm not sure if two-year managerial tenures are as big a problem in 2024 as they may have seemed in, say, 2004 or 1994. At least, not for a club that knows how it wants to play football.
